these images of a large prott protests across america and here in the bay area. following donald trump's inauguration. these are images from just about 30 minutes ago. large protests going on in the plaza in berkeley. one of the many areas in the bay area where people have come out into the streets to show their feelings, express this big day across our nation. >> yeah, we had a look at what was going on in a plaza in oakland as well a short time ago. in the meantime, some very violent clashes in washington, d.c. this morning, but right now, all seems to be fairly peaceful. we're seeging the tail end right now of the inaugural parade and procession with clearly a lot of horses there. and some american flags, and

it's been a very busy day. >> it's been more of a celebratory tone there, as we see the parade continue. and the first family now in the stands watching it go by, and actually waving to some of the participants. raj mathai has been in washington, d.c. giving us coverage today. he joins us again from the mall out there today. big crowds earlier. >> big crowds earlier. in fact, we're going to talk about all the crowds and all of the protesters. really, we talked about the inauguration parade that's wrapping up right now. the president and first lady watching that. the night is young here in washington, d.c. their first inaugural ball, they're going to leave in just about an hour. in fact, their first dance is scheduled. it's very precise on the timeline, at 5:30 pacific time. there's three inaugural balls at the president and first lady will attend. we were talking about protesters as well. let's take a look. we have seen them throughout the day, in fact, even into the

night. what we're seeing, a lot of small fires. some damage. we have seen a lot of this similar to what we have seen in years past in downtown oakland, but this is in washington, d.c. really, the crowds running from one area to the other, but there's such a heavy police force here, military and local police, that the agents have it well under control. but there have been small flash grenades and pepper spray use throughout the day. in terms of the crowds, what you saw on television, you probably saw the big crowds next to the capitol during the inauguration. but if you went back several sections, as you will, in the national mall, the crowds were very thin. you compare that to president obama's inauguration, it was a lot more full. now, despite this, donald trump was still enjoying the moment and the history of it all, and he addressed his followers. >> and while they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

that all changes starting right here and right now because this moment is your moment. it belongs to you. >> this is night number one in the united states of america under president donald trump. we talked about in the several days past many members of congress across the bay area and in congress who boycotted the inauguration and there were also very familiar faces in attendance. among them, representative and congressman nancy pelosi, the leader, leader pelosi was here. aig rolehere, of course. such a prominent part of the government, meeting briefly with the incoming president, shaking some hands there in the capitol rotunda before he entered the stage. and of course, also our new senator, kamala harris, weighing in on this occasion. she was here, but she says she has a little hint of skepticism

moving forward. >> i feel very strongly that this is going to be one of those moments in time where we're going to each be challenged to stand up and speak up when we see something happening that is wrong and unfair. >> hillary clinton, of course, former president bill clinton was here and the former first lady hillary clinton, such a bitter campaign for the last 18 months, but she was here along with the other former presidents in jimmy carter, george w. bush. george h.w. still recovering in houston. so we saw a lot of familiar faces here, and of course, all the supporters and demonstrators and protesters here on the national mall. now, let's send it back to the bay area where there's still a lot of demonstrations. earlier, we checked with in robert handa who was talking about the people along the golden gate bridge. let's bring in christie smith there also in san francisco. >> well, raj, at one point, there were actually several demonstrations going on here in

san francisco at the same time along market street and also in the financial district. then about noon today, some of the groups kale together where we are here at california and kerney. a very diverse group, and they seemed to have the same message, and that is resisting what they fear may come along with the presidency of donald trump. sort of a resistance march that some considered the people's inaug rasuration with 25 differ community groups. they were loud and peaceful. demonstrators held signs as they walked saying things like not my president. they made stops outside different businesses. at one point, urging members of the tech community not to participate in any sort of muslim registry. again, there were several actions happening simultaneously. at one point, some blocks wells fargo bank by locking arms. there were a number of high school students here. many gatheredt the california street location because they say that trump owns part of the building here.

>> we have also shut down 555 california building, which really represents this merger between the corporations and the state. >> i have a lot of friends that are, like, you know, undocumented. and you know, it's something that's really important to me and everybody around me, and i feel like i have to stand up for my community. >> now, what we kept hearing from a number of people was a resolve to fight, but also some fear, concern about losing a social safety net, losses to health care, women's rights, education. on this end, what we saw was peaceful police followed demonstrators closely on motorcycles as they made their way through the street. i checked in with san francisco police, and they tell me that so far, they have made today 29 demonstration-related arrests. again, this isn't over. another demonstration is planned for 5:00 tonight at u.n. plaza. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, nbc bay area news.

>> okay, christie, thank you. nearly 30 demonstrations and protests in the bay area or at least in san francisco. an estimated 100 demonstrations and protests here in washington, d.c. now, we should note, especially as it relates to the bay area and here in the capital for this inauguration, there are plenty of people who are supporting donald trump and plenty from the bay area who made the trip here to washington. we saw them last night. we're going to see them again tonight at some of the inaugural balls. in a few minutes, we'll hear what they have to say, their message to people back at home and around the world, about giving donald trump a chance. guys, back to you. see you in a few minutes. >> we can all just have to go forward from here. thank you very much. we'll check back with you in a bit. >> no doubt, as we hear many messages of trying to unite now behind our new president. the obamas are moving out of the white house. but this is not going to be the last we see of the former president. >> the work of perfecting our union is never finished. and we look forward to joining you in that effort as fellow

citizens. >> so president obama has talked about the fact he wants to take some time off now to read and to write, to take some time to spend with his family, and oh, yeah, catch on some sleep. but the break is not going to last long. they are urging viewers to help them plan their next project, which is a presidential center based in his hometown of chicago. >> the obamas coming here to california to palm springs, where we're getting some rain there as well. here in the bay area, we're under a microclimate weather alert. this afternoon, a brief break from what's going to be a very rainy weekend ahead. >> yeah, this is going to be moving forward for the next couple days. still seeing things like flooding, downed stre eed trees. we talked about the situation in san benito county with a levee breaking again in hollister. a lot of problems right now. >> not a lot of relief. check out this video from emily in san francisco. showing her college room mates bailing out an inch and a half of water. at least they're laughing about it a bit. it flooded their downstairs unit.

thanks to those good old red solo cups. >> you have to love that they repurposed those. >> from another viewer, patrick, you can see the snow that's just piled up in front of his south lake tahoe house. we are told somewhere there is a garage door back behind all that snow. >> we really love to see your storm photos. you can tag us on twitter, instagram, even post to our facebook page. we could show your photos and video, even your red solo cups on our newscast. >> all right, you have not seen anything yet. you talked about the fact that the heaviest amount of rain in terms of totals is really coming on sunday and a lot of sneas well. >> yeah, looking at by the time we get to monday, maybe three to five feet of snow in the sierra. you saw the user submitted pictures and videos of the snow in the sierra. here's one more from knob hill, san francisco. look closely. lightning bolt striking the transamerica pyramid this morning, about 4:13. thank you, simon, for sending the video for us. and a twin bolt off the side.

>> was there damage? >> no worse for wear as we take you outside live. let's show you how san francisco looks. double rainbows across the bay bridge right now. yes, the taller buildings, what's closer to the bottom of the clouds. those are our natural or manmade lightning rods, which in a very electrified system like we had co in with dynamic and strong thunderstorms, take aewits across the bay area, including sometimes the bay bridge. but that's a gorgeous view right now closer to san francisco. so weekend storm on the way. localized flooding. a renewed threat for that. here we go again. gusty winds up to 50 miles per hour which can lead to more downed trees. another chance for thunderstorms as that front sweeps through. here's the change. use caution on the coast. could see 20 to 30-foot waves building into tomorrow morning, and notice the flash flood watch that's in effect for the entire bay area gets under way saturday night. and will take us through sunday afternoon. the flooding threat may become a little more widespread now that storm one and today's storm two

have saturated the ground even more. faster runoff from area creeks and streams likely for the weekend. the areas that will see probably the heaviest rain, north bay to the santa cruz mountains. storm three could bring 4 to 5 inches of rain. the creeks could see the runoff rates pick up as we head through the end of the weekend. this the leftovers from storm two, the cool, unstable air coming through, powering up showers and giving freezings levels down to 3500 feet. could see a dusting of snow like we're seeing around mt. hamilton, drop down lower overnight. lows in the 40s overnight. tomorrow's highs, mid 50s. during the day, at least, we should begin to see a little break. notice to this evening through about 10:30, still scattered showers. won't rule out a slight chance of thunder. saturday afternoon, a brief break. 5:00 in the evening. by the nighttime thundershowehon is going to fill in again. the saturday outlook calls for showers. sunday morning, hour by hour, a pretty gusty start, with a lot

of wind and the potential for flooding rains. it's going to happen from 11:00 saturday to about 5:00 a.m. sunday morning, where the most widespread intense rain falls and then more scattered showers like we're seeing now sunday into monday. if you're looking for relief from this very soggy pattern, good news. by the time we get to tuesday, seven-day forecast will begin to dry out after a stormy finish to the weekend, tuesday into wednesday and beyond, things dry out. but again, flooding risk goes way up on sunday. we'll hope to see that break hold up for midweek into next weekend after all the rain and a heavy snow across northern california. back to you. >> just make it through the weekend and then we'll see the sun. thanks. >> coming up next, one of the most notorious king pins now in the u.s. in court. >> he's been extradited, but why el chapo is being tried here instead of in mexico. cockroach repelent. a south bay

man is now facing charges- because welcome back. busted for selling illegal cockroach repellent. a south bay man is facing charges because investigators say it could be dangerous to the public. investigators say that julio reyes made and sold the powder that you see right there. and that it contained ingredients which could be harmful to people and to pets. investigators say that he advertised with fliers like the ones you're seeing on your screen. and people are being advised to not use that product or rely on

its labels. >> some workers at the port of oakland didn't show up for work today, which forces the port to close down. sources at the port say some members of the international longshore warehouse union stayed home to send a message about donald trump's inauguration. in the past, some members have said, quote, donald trump is not the solution to america's problems. he is the problems, unquote. port authority say the terminals will reopen tomorrow. >> one of the world's most nutorial drug lords is going to have his day in court after all. an american court. mexico's joaquin guzman, if that doesn't sound familiar because he's better known to the world as el chapo, is being arraigned today in a federal courtroom. he's facing a litany of charges. guz moman arrived in the u.s. l night after being extradited from mexico. federal authorities outlined a 17-count indictment tied to what they describe as a massive drug carte >> who is chapo guzman? a man known for no oer life

than a life of crime, violence, death, and destruction. and now he'll have to answer to that. >> guzman and his henchmen are accused of bringing in billions of dollars in drugs to the u.s. over the course of more than three decades. and laundering the profits in mexico. you'll remember for a time that he lived on the lam after his escape from a mexican president in 2015. mexico, by the way, is saying the extradition is not tied to president trump taking office. >> we'll be right back.

sknloo welcome back. our radar has not gotten brumucf a breather in the last few days. >> a lot of rain, but that mines a lot of snow in the sierra. >> strapping on the snowboards, i think, as we look outside. look at that sight. 30 degrees. snow starting -- looks like the feed and a little bit of snowboard action around heavenly. let's now show you from the sierra to the surf.

high surf on the coast. a big concern as we head to tomorrow. wave heights 15 to 18 feet. they're going to get up to 25 to 30 feet by tomorrow morning. use caution on the coast, and we continue to see scattered showers around the bay area. around the tri-valley, snow there, south of livermore on the higher hilltops near 4,000 feet and more scattered showers will continue to go through here, kind of the leftovers of storm two. storm three taking shape out here. that will begin to arrive saturday night. between the evening, notice still a chance of thunderstorms coming through into tomorrow morning. that will be the story. scattered showers, brief downpours and a brief chance of hail. kind of a letup in the action maybe saturday around 3:00 and 5:00, but here's storm three, 11:00 tomorrow night, through 7:00 sunday, followed up by more showers throughout the day. the reason why we have a flash flood watch up for the entire area saturday night to sunday is for the rain totals behind me. 2 to 3 inches plus in sonoma county and 4 to 5 in the santa cruz mountains dropping into san

lorenzo creek as we wrap up the weekend. a pattern shift begins to arrive monday. a few lingering showers and then tuesday, something we haven't seen in a while, high pressure providing more than just one or two days of dry weather, but as the seven-day forecast shows, several days of dry weather as we head to the middle part of the week, but can't emphasize it enough now that t first two storms have managed to saturate the ground, the sunday storm is going to have a big impact. could see localize ed flooding, but sometimes you get pictures like that. >> i was going to say. >> that's how you end. focus on the good. >> a nice way to end the week. >> more of that hopefully to come after everything is done. we'll be right back.

history books, that featured an ample amoun c an inauguration parade for the history books today. it featured an ample amount of cheers and boos. >> let's check in with raj mathai one last time. he's live in washington, d.c. >> good evening again. regardless of your politics. pretty amazing to see american democracy play out in front of our eyes like a realtime history lesson. let's take you live a few blocks away to the white house. this will be the first night in the white house, spending the night for the new president and first lady, donald trump and melania trump. they're there now inside the white house getting ready, maybe a wardrobe change getting ready for the inaugural ball. a short while ago, you may have

seen our network coverage, the inaugural parade. right down pennsylvania avenue, they went from the senate right at the capitol building a mile and a half towards the white house. the streets were closed, of course, heavily guarded with security, but people really enjoying it. it did rain at times. but also at times, president trump got out of the motorcade, got out of his car and walked the crowd. nice to see that as well. really a nice scene for so many of us. we did see the protesters, and that continues. however, a lot of that unfolds, it's nice to see as we do the transition of power. former president barack obama now in palm springs, back in california with his wife and the former first lady, and mr. and mrs. trump here in washington, d.c. getting ready for a big night ahead. it is local time he 6:25. so the night is young. guys, back to you in the bay area. we'll see you again on the 5:00 newscast as well. >> thank you for your coverage. raj joined us early on the

morning show today. >> he's been up since the very early morning hours. he's been telling us this was one of the warmest inaugural ceremonies on record. i have a feeling it wasn't that warm. >> 40s. >> 40s, exactly. >> we had similar weather. seeing a few passing showers now, and earlier, a lot of thunder and lightning around the bay area. that was the view. did you see it there across the cross of the top of the transamerica pyramid, becoming a giant lightning rod. that was at 4:13. video sent into us by simon from san francisco. and right now, we still have passing showers. not seeing the same type of intensity, thank goodness, but with the cooler air aloft moving in, dropping snow levels close to 3500 feet, we'll see a slight chance of isolated thunder into the evening with small hail possible, and then as we geinto the weekend, we'll be watching another storm starting to move in as we get into saturday night and sunday. so what to expect over the next few hours, we'll continue to see showers, all those splotchy clouds off shore, a cool

environment. showers atop mt. hamilton, and the national service radar site beginning to see snow, and that will continue to drop, perhaps as low as mt. diablo overnight, and showers for saturday. sunday is more intense rain. we think it will be 11:00 saturday through 7:00 sunday, with a chance of runoff and issues with runoff flooding. flash flood watch in effect saturday night through sunday afternoon. >> all right. we saw the levee break in hollister once again. everybody is bracing for that. you can get continuing coverage right here on nbc bay area, and online as well. >> we're going to be back again at 5:00. he will be live from the national mall as we continue to absorb what has really been t e truly a historic day. we'll show wru what's going on in the bay area as well. >> you all the latest information all day at nbcbayarea.com or on twitter on or facebook. the works. have a great evening. thing or
