we see that moving into san francisco and slowly working its way farther to the south. this will be a slow-moving storm that is going to cause a lot of problems as we go into tomorrow as well. i'll talk more about what you can expect and more on this time line coming up in a few minutes. mike, you already have a crash in vallejo? >> i do, i do. light traffic for most of the bay. a remote area as far as the main commute. i'll track that. there may be injuries. the bulk of the commute showing green roadways. the sensors showing problems. the highways damp. vallejo toward the carquinez bridge, we have a crash reportedly moving to the shoulder. no slowing shows up. the green highlighting looks like it is here in concord and highway 4 and north of the bay. carry has been talking about the rain coming down. so far, no issues.

now, we are going to have a flash flood watch in effect starting at 4:00 this afternoon into 3:00 tomorrow morning. where we could have 1-3 inches of rain, there may be debris flow, mudslides and flash flooding. as we look at the time line of the rain, mostly light showers happening around those wildfire zones. the heavier rain starting to ramp up by 4:00 this afternoon in the north bay. then it starts to move into san francisco as well as oakland by 8:00 tonight. really heavy rain here. we start to see the purples here on the map. that's what the radar can look like as we go into early tomorrow morning. some of the heaviest rain may not reach the south bay and parts of the south county until we start "today in the bay" tomorrow morning. so, this will be a prolonged period that we'll have to watch the heavy rain roll through the bay area. we'll keep you up to date here. i'll have another update in a

that rain has been fairly light as we stand in petaluma. it has been fairly light. the big concerns here is further up north in the santa rosa area, one of the main burn areas following the wildfires. we have video of crews doing what they have been doing for the past week, hauling off debris where there are concerns some of the debris has levels of toxicity in it. sonoma county has done a good job of putting straw waddles in place to prevent that debris from flowing into the area. there's about 173 square miles of burn area in sonoma county they are prepping as this rain comes in. officials say that's a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time. >> can you imagine having to go into the, you know, the entire city of san francisco times three and a half and make sure it was secure for a rainfall event? that's what we are dealing with. >> reporter: that gives you

context of the area they will be covering. we know those affected by wildfires are going to hardware stores getting plastic containers, shovels and rakes in preparation for this. 300 cal fire firefighters are in those burn areas working on the erosion control, preventing that debris from getting into those areas. of course, we are going to monitor those conditions and provide updates as they come in. live in petaluma, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thanks, pete. happening today, plenty of time before thanksgiving. pass the butter sauce, if you like it. the bay area's crab season gets urnds way. if you are a crab lover, you know the past two seasons have seen long delays due to concerns of toxins. that's not the case this year. in fact, the early talk is, this is some of the best crab in some time. this should be arriving to the docks anytime now. fishermen are allowed to start pulling their pots one minute

"the new york times" points out, several companies have deleted tweets. realtor.com reversed theirs and will advertise. papa johns pizza apologized for its statement that said kneeling football players hurt their business because fewer people are watching football games. they took that as they supported white supremacists. they now support their right to protest. we will work to find a positive way forward, open to ideas from all, except neo-nazi's and a symbol to show the middle

enhancing the amount of rain we will see there. and also enhancing our concern for those wildfire burn areas as we may have flash flooding there. as we get a closer look at san francisco, very light rain. that moves to concord as well as pittsburgh, the delta, where we are going to see more of that off and on rain. it does start to become a little more widespread, but once again, still starting out light this morning. then, we'll have a break with mostly cloudy skies throughout the day. rain beginning to ramp up, especially for the north bay, later on this evening, then it moves to the south very slowly. now, this will be heavy rain lasting for quite a while. with the slow moving nature of the storm, we will have that threat of flooding throughout tonight. looking at temperatures today reaching into the upper 60s, over the next several days, we will have that rain moving out for tomorrow. then, for friday into saturday,

it's going to be all dry, but cool san francisco stays in the 50s. another round of rain moving in between sunday night and early monday morning. so, after this moves out, we will take a bit of a break and see another storm system moving in by the end of the weekend. i'll keep you up to date on that as we head to mike starting out with the crowd. >> company, friends. we have it. over here, is a meeting. the metering lights turned on. they were turned on about 5:21. that may be the result of a slightly earlier build here. we are looking at a smooth, easy drive. we are looking at the maps as well. the traffic flow into the area is no problem. only at the toll plaza from grand avenue, west grand avenue to the scene. look at the green highlighting. woodland and roseville at the top of the screen to brentwood, we have damp roadways from overnight rain and kari is talking about more coming in.

not a problem right now, but it will continue to build. we have a crash on the shoulder, westbound 80 approaching the carquinez bridge. the rest of the bay shows an easy drive. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. coming up, fears mounting in florida as a serial killer remains on the loose. the hunt to find the gunman of four murders. we never stop working for you. kari constantly monitoring the forecast for up-to-the-minute changes. we'll be right back. fear is running high in one

storm. >> very slow moving. that is the problem because we'll have several hours of the same area getting rain over and over. that means other areas, especially in the south bay where it will take a lot longer to get here. the main concern, of course, the north bay and the burn scar areas that we'll be watching for the possibility of flooding. i have outlined all the areas where we have the burn scars in the north bay and napa and sonoma county extending to northern solano county as well. we are seeing the rain moving in with the heaviest rain still on track for later on tonight. we will have some light rain this morning and then a break between late morning and early afternoon. still spotty activity, then the winds start to ramp up as the main line of showers and gusty winds move in later this evening. notice that san jose may not see the rain until late tonight and early tomorrow morning. it will still be heavy with

strong wind and then our temperatures today reaching into the upper 60s. we'll talk more about all of this and look ahead to the weekend coming up in a few minutes. mike gets us out with a look at the bay bridge. >> surprise, surprise. we have the metering lights. this is not the first time we have shown the back up. it's been there for a while. a pleasant flow of traffic right here for the fast track lanes. that is a good sign. we look at the map and we have a back up at the toll plaza. no problems through the maze. a build off the berkeley curve. we'll watch. this is earlier than we typically see the build. we have the green highlight from the north bay to the golden gate bridge to vallejo. it's where the rain caused damp roads. more rain coming in. back to you. >> let's hope it stays that way. you can keep on top of the weather by downloading the free, nbc bay area app. you can use the live radar to see when the rain is moving into

without a home. we counted two rvs this morning. another four around the corner. last week, our sister station spoke to a man who says he was forced into one of these rvs after his $2,000 a month apartment rent doubled to $3800. the lack of affordable housing forced a lot of families into rvs, not just in palo alto, but silicon valley. the most reports that earlier this month, the city of mountainview ticketed a number of rvs on one residential street. 330 vehicles have become homes for people too poor to afford housing. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you so much for that update. it's definitely a problem that area has been fighting for some time. now, a follow up on a story we brought you yesterday morning. there will be no changes to renters in san jose. late last night, city council

new ticket to ride, thanks to a possible funding program. bay area transit look at traveling from richmond, fremont and train stops in marin and sonoma counties. that money would help expand bike share programs in smaller cities that have not benefited in larger cities. one leader said the bike share industry is still in transition. >> how it grows, we don't know yet. bike share, like a lot of things in life are changing. we are going to see which works the best. >> if the plan is approved, funding amounts to roughly $2 million. it will be up to cities to see what type of program is adopted. renters in san francisco could have a place to turn to if they feel they are being unfairly evicted. supervisors are working on legislation to provide lawyers for renters facing no fault evictions. supervise zers say right now, there's not a lot the city can

do for people unfairly pushed out of their homes. legislation will be officially introduced in the next few weeks. at 5:44, water at more than 11,000 schools has not been tested for lead. we have data from the state water resources control board as part of the investigation. the numbers show 130 schools in santa clara county requested drinking water be tested, but it hasn't happened yet. more than 200 requests tests. again, that has not happened. the investigation found 13% of schools statewide even have requested testing. we have been covering water fountains and faucets in oakland schools. many reported high lead levels. we may learn whether the three ucla basketball players who were caught shoplifting

according to twitter. the rasmussen puts it at 34. the house will start debate on tax cuts with an aim to have a vote as soon as this week. the senate hammering out its version. the latest version will end the affordable care rule that says everybody has toz have health insurance or face a fine. this is a twofer for republicans. they get rid of something they don't like and save money in the process as people drop insurance because they can or because they can't afford it. the house does not like the senate version at all. that's part of the problem. apparently, my touch screen doesn't like me this morning. the senate doesn't like the house version, house version doesn't like the senate version and democrats don't like either. house and senate pass their individual versions, come together, get the agreement and try to pass it either with the opposite party's help or without it. i'll work on this.

in the meantime, you can contact me on twitter. >> sounds good. you know who is always online as well? kari hall. she hannibal lancing a lot herself, checking the radar as we are in this microclimate weather alert. >> we have a couple systems going through as we are going to go throughout the day. we will have this storm system well to the north of us. here is the center of the low pressure. then we have a plume of moisture and a very weak disturbance moving in this morning well out in advance of that. we'll have two rounds of rain as we go through the day. as you look at the seven day forecast on the bottom of the screen, we will have fairly mild temperatures. not a lot of changes there. what will be changing, the off and on rain and what we'll see on the radar. already pockets of heavier rain moving in. right there on 101, north of lucas valley and also on 80 as well. as we are seeing some of the rain moving in. as we get a closer look, we will be watching for this potential,

flash flooding, a flash flood watch in the north bay. we are looking at potential of 1-3 inches of rain, which may cause debris flow, mudslides and flash flooding in those areas where you don't have a lot of trees there to keep the ground rooted. we have outlined those areas where we have had those wildfires and the burn scar areas. we will have a break between late morning and early afternoon, some of the heavier rain to the north. that will be pushing to the south as we go through the evening commute right around sunset and starting to approach san francisco with really heavy rain moving over toward oakland with gusty winds. this is what we'll hear on the roof later tonight as it will be pouring at times with gusty winds starting to work its way slowly down the peninsula and into the east bay and approaching the south baby early tomorrow morning. in areas like san jose, morgan
