5:18 am
starting with the san mateo bridge we have a clear view. look at that damp roadway. you see slight bits of puddling there, nothing major, but slick roadways. we have an issue reported through foster city. a single car crash perhaps a spinout reported there passing by foster city boulevard. everything should be off to the shoulder. here in the south bay a car sort of sideways across the roadway, perhaps a spinout as well in milpitas at the transition of 880 and 237. there may be more slick roadways. there's a crew that should be slowing from richmond. we see some slowing from i-80. the recovery has been really nice for 880 here at the bottom.
5:19 am
be careful out there because we're not done with this. >> we're getting little breaks from the rain, but of course we'll still got plenty of activity happening in the pacific. san francisco right now, this is that chain we've been talking about. just like yesterday where we saw periods of quiet, cool and cloudy and then light rain, that's sort of what we're going to see for the first half of our day. we have our storm ranger with a couple of showers passing through vallejo. this is what we've seen so far in santa rosa. some of the highest totals at a little over half an inch. san francisco a little over a quarter. concord a little under a

quarter. oakland and san jose just a couple hundredths of an inch. we've got much better chances of that boosting up at least a couple hundredths of an inch. mid to upper 60s today with on and off rain chances. i want to take you out ahead to the rain outlook. sunday night into monday morning we're expecting that atmospheric river in the coastal mountains and the north bay. the rain shadowing is expected down here in the south bay with totals anywhere from half an inch to just over 2 1/2 inches, so far bringing us the most rain potential we've seen since january of 2021. it's great, we need the rain, but it's going to areas of concern on those burn scars from
5:21 am
wildfires. mid 60s, very comfortable. again, a little bit of a break from the rain heading in from friday afternoon into saturday morning. then we get that second system pushing through lingering around into tuesday morning. it's time to get into our climate in crisis. we're talking about atmospheric rivers. global temperatures have continuously gone up. what is the reason for this? this is based in continued warming of our oceans and the air heat. this impacts atmospheric rivers, giving them more fuel to grow, which means they become stronger and bigger. think of the atmospheric river as a river in the sky. when you see it on satellite radar, you can see this river-like flow. it taps into moisture. so rivers of the sky is a stream of moisture that can bring
5:22 am
flooding rains, so a ton of rain in a short time span. that's what brings a concern for flooding and debris flow. so far atmospheric rivers are 25% longer and wider because of the warming. the global frequency increases by 50%, which could lead to higher flood risks. what can we do? just lowering our carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions can make a difference. let's do this together. coming up next, contamination concerns for a kitchen staple. the reason to be careful if you're using onions in any recipes. we are asking you on instagram should businesses be required to check for proof of

5:34 am
without power. pg&e showed clusters of outages from the city to the east bay, but none of them appear to be power shutoffs from the power company. a spokesperson says the outages are common following a dry spell and then bouts of rain. >> especially after a drought in a very dry year, there's been a lot of dirt and salt and dust that's accumulated on the power lines. so when you combine that with water, it becomes mud, which is very conductive to electricity. >> reporter: that was the same explanation given for some of those power outages we saw over the weekend. right now here in the sky hawk area, that concern is for flooding. so far we have not heard any reports of flooding, but a lot of this area a year ago was decimated by fires. we're going to keep an eye out and we'll relay any flooding concerns to you if that does

5:37 am
if it's a dental, it might be a day. if it's a dna from bone, that might be a week. all of this came about when the parents wanted to search this park located these items. many questions about how after five weeks of searching, they could come here in one day and immediately find items and potentially his remains. the south bay mother accused of throwing wild drunken parties for minors will remain in custody after facing a judge for the first time. the judge denied bail for 47-year-old shannon o'connor. she's charged with 39 counts related to child endangerment and sexual assault. investigators say she encouraged drunk teenagers to sexual assault other drunk teenagers at
