impact of the damages from those slides. and mike is monitoring the commute hot spots this morning. >> let's start with how conditions are looking at this hour. meteorologist vianey arana is tracking the path of the storm and how long the rain will last. >> if you're up and about to head out, you might hit some areas of light rain depending on where you live. but i want to remind folks the rain is expected to ramp up. this isn't the worst of it right now. we are expecting for it to peak sometime between now and noon, so we're going to see some heavier cells move through. you can see right over san francisco, starting to see some moderate pockets. and then through santa rosa, light to moderate and widespread rain throughout. i did take a closer look to see the timing of when some of the heavier rain would be moving closer to the south bay. in santa clara, about 5:30, san jose at 5:42. once it begins to move through, we'll see cells of heavy downpours over santa cruz.

taking this through 8:00, you can see widespread completely, and the heavier pockets really start to pick up in the north bay. right around 7:30, which is where we have concerns, of course, of our creeks and river flows, through santa rosa, san rafael. there's a bull's-eye over santa cruz as well, so that will be an area to monitor. at least the system does move out rather quickly. this is what we want to see from atmospheric rivers. we can see around 1:00 we do have scattered shower activity through the north bay. then what will happen after the rain moves out is the winds will still be kicking up, take a look at santa cruz, morgan hill through gilroy, another round of showers around 5:00. so overall we're going to see a timing of heavy rain at times, and then it's going to turn into scattered showers. we'll go over the wind warnings and flood watches in a few minutes. we still have basically a full closure of northbound 680. traffic stopped once again. they were letting folks by the

crash scene. i'll show you where northbound 680 is blocked just shy of sunol boulevard. the deal is, once a tow truck became available, they were going to have it enter the freeway here and go the wrong way to get to the jackknifed rig because there's all those vehicles that you saw backed up. i'm hoping that the stopped traffic means that they have the tow truck available. i'm going to wait for the update, but i'm telling you, you can't wait for an alternate. you've got to take highway 84. that will be the key. i do see more traffic going that way on 84. i would advise against going through niles canyon because that is a windy area where we often see washouts and we saw that last week with rains coming through. i don't want to send you through niles canyon, but it's open right now. the rest of the bay shows a smoother drive outside of northbound 680. do not take that toward the dublin interchange. everywhere else is moving, but the ponding and puddling is

starting to build. more rain, more flooding likely, back to you. >> thanks, mike. in the north bay, some of the homeowners are enduring a sleepless night, bracing for the possibility of more landslides. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell is where two homes have been red tagged and two more are at risk. >> reporter: good morning to you. we're on cooper drive in santa rosa and you see one of the homes is red tagged behind me, the other to the left of your tv screen. the question is for other people who live around here, they're worried that their homes could be next because of the hillside behind these two red tagged homes. teams from the santa rosa emergency services are monitoring the hillside, which they've been doing since the ground gave way during this weekend's storms. the two red tagged homes are now unsafe to enter. at least four more homes are considered at risk. one of the homeowners tells us she's worried the next round of rain will wash away the plastic

that's now covering the hillside and send debris toward her home. >> the runoff is coming directly onto my property now. it's slick and just comes off the top and it just -- it's just a huge runoff, like a waterfall. >> reporter: and this is new video into the newsroom out of western sonoma county. there's a mudslide blocking one lane of bohemian highway. this started unfolding around 2:15 this morning. there's another slide, this was yesterday morning, that swept across brett hart road in san rafael. a local contractor spent the entire day hauling all the rock, mud and debris. this is something that happened within the past hour, you can see there's trees, power lines down, a couple of miles from our location, at the corner of orchard and spencer in santa

rosa. once we're done here, we'll head over and bring you a report in the next hour. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> that last photo looks like everything is all tangled up there. thanks for reporting that, bob. if your roof is leaking, you are not alone. contractors say that relentless winter rain is really doing a number on many bay area roofs. now, we spoke with the president of one pleasanton roofing company who advises anyone with a damaged roof to get on those repairs as soon as possible. >> it really depends on how long they waited. if it's right away, you could probably save thousands of dollars if you could do a minor repair, but if you waited a while or it's been there for a long time, it will be thousands of dollars. >> you definitely don't want to have to spend thousands of dollars. he says, also, he's seen a lot of clogged gutters which can lead to damaging rooftop leaks.

he says the best way to avoid the problem is to keep those gutters clean. the oakland zoo is also shut down today due to concerns over the storm. the zoo says customers who bought tickets will be refunded in the next three to four weeks and oakland zoo has shut its doors several times this year because of the weather. this included a sinkhole that forced the zoo to close for 35 days straight. you're looking at those pigs at the oakland zoo. they're enjoying the weather, it looks like. our nbc bay area app, you can track the rain with our radar and we'll give a head start and send alerts to your phone. it is a great resource as we get you through the storm. right now we take a live look at san francisco and san jose. you can see a few raindrops on the lens. and that rain is making its way through the bay area right now. meteorologist vianey arana is monitoring what's going on with the atmospheric river. so what are we looking at now? >> well, we're still going to continue to see heavier pockets

move in, and as we see the rain start to tally, because it's going to move out fast, it looks like it's good for us because we'll see less totals than we had originally anticipated. that doesn't put us in the clear for the potential of flooding because we've already seen so much rain, at this point the ground has nowhere to put it. let's take a closer look at some of the flood watches that remain in effect pretty much through wednesday morning. alameda, contra costa, san francisco and santa clara. but we also have some areas that are under flood warnings, which means the threat is imminent, and this includes this part right here, mendocino county along 101, this will be in place until tuesday at 11:00 p.m. we're monitoring streams, creeks and rivers as well. another area we're concerned about as well is the flood warning through monterey. this will be in effect through friday. this is because we're still expecting to see that system continue to make its trek

further to the south. at this point, any rain really just makes a big impact. in addition to flooding here locally, there's also the possibility of some flooding up in the sierra. there is a winter storm warning that's in effect through wednesday at 5:00 p.m., but because of this warmer storm, we're seeing more of a mix of rain and snow. and some of that snowmelt is coming down to about 5,000 feet, could cause some big problems, especially with such a crazy sierra snowpack at over 200% of our statewide average. so we're going to see how that plays out within the next couple of hours. also, the winds. a high wind warning is in effect for the entire bay area. we haven't seen the worst of the winds yet, but as the system continues to move through, it really starts to ramp up around 10:00, 11:00 a.m. the coast and hills have a possibility of seeing gusts upwards of 70 plus miles per hour. this is going to be in effect until 11:00 p.m. the biggest threat associated

with winds, which we have seen before, is a possibility of downed trees and, of course, the damage to homes as well. so power outages will also be likely, at least when the winds start to ramp up, we'll already get a little bit of daylight. so that will be helpful in that aspect. i'm going to take you through rain totals and how long this rain is going to stick around for, and i'm going to give you hope. we do have some sunshine, yes, i said sunshine, in our forecast. i'll let you know when in a few minutes. we're not looking at a sunny day for the tri-valley, but the rest of the bay is looking wet but moving smoothly. the peninsula and the north bay, more puddling and ponding. the green continues around the bay area, including the traffic alert. north 680 continues to be closed at about sunol boulevard. all traffic is going off this direction toward pleasanton where you have to loop around and take city streets to get

back over toward 680 around stanley, and you're going to have to use the alternate until they can get that tow truck to the scene to clear this big rig across all northbound lanes. now, chp did put the note in saying they've only got enough flares for the next hour. that's a tough one. over here in the north bay, rain on the lens. this is san rafael, moving smoothly, from santa rosa to the golden gate bridge. the bay bridge, lighter traffic but definitely those conditions are tough. back to you. happening today, san francisco leaders take up reparations trying to address the legacy of policies resulting in a lack of opportunities for the city's african american population. supervisors will review a wide range of recommendations made in a recent draft created by an outside panel. one of the ideas calls for each eligible person to receive a $5 million lump sum payment. now, that draft only covers certain adults who have

identified as black or african american and lived in the city during one specific window ending in 1996. funding is among the many issues still to be ironed out. the meeting takes place this afternoon at city hall. coming up on "today in the bay," banks trying to reassure depositors their money is safe, and it appears to be working. >> and we know you woke up like many of us this morning, you brainiacs, today is pi day. 3/14. we're going to talk about deals to celebrate in style. how many do youant? w

it is 5:13 right now. as we see the strongest part of the atmospheric river move through, it is picking up speed. we're still not in the clear. there will be concerns for flooding and landslide potential, along with gusty winds. we talked about the sierra snowmelt. we'll talk about what this means and what to expect in a few minutes. more than just green on the roads. we have a big rig across all lanes of northbound 680. that's why this camera, although it says southbound 680 at the top, it's actually northbound 680. it's stopped as you head north of sunol. good news on the tow truck, i believe. we'll bring that to you and your alternate to get through this portion of the tri-valley coming

up. happy tuesday to you. busy day. some sources say meta could announce layoffs today or tomorrow. regional banks are still under pressure. this is first republic bank in san francisco. its stock is down 60% in one day, as investors fear contagion from the problems over at silicon valley bank. as i said last week, these problems are psychological, not financial. banks are in good shape, so long as investors think they're in good shape. the problem is reassuring investors your bank is in good shape makes them nervous, in the same way you might get nervous if you boarded an airplane and the flight attendant said welcome aboard, we're not going to crash. you would think, why are you telling me that? here is our colleagues at cnbc saying the same about first republic. >> when a bank has to tell you that, it's always a problem to begin with. >> right. >> but we have to listen, we have to take them at their word,

conceivably. >> let's give them credit for calling back. >> stick with nbc bay area for continuing coverage. nowhere will you get a team that knows the local situation teamed up with experts at cnbc. we may hear about a sale today. the fdic putting the bank up for auction after a failed auction sunday. as if the day weren't busy enough, we get the latest inflation data today for the consumer price index. remember, the fed is raising interest rates, trying to slow down inflation. silicon valley bank's failure to adjust to those higher q.rates were one of the reasons it got into trouble in the first place. now, there are those who say that the fed ought to take it easy and let banks catch up. some say that's nonsense. banks are full of adults who can handle interest rates going up and down. silicon valley bank blew it, but

that's not a reason not to change interest rates. >> i want to ask you about something really important that you made this call on press here sunday morning, you predicted the fdic would make depositors whole, meaning would protect them 100%, and this was even as the fdic, former fdic went on "meet the press" and said 70%. >> it was a daring call. here is the reason why this felt safe. the money is there. silicon valley bank is solvent. the money for depositors, it has more money than depositors. so it was only fair that depositors are going to get 100% of their money back. it turned out to be the right call and we found that out sunday night. >> that's good news for so many folks. scott, thank you. speaking of money, let's talk about numbers. today is a day foodies and math lovers love, it is pi day, in reference to the number

3.1459 -- look, normally we just say 3.14. many stores are giving out freebies. blaze pizza offering the 3.14 inch pizza for $3.14. when customers buy a large, one-topping pizza at papa johns, they can get a second for $3.14. at participating 7-eleven stations you can get a whole pizza for $3.14. mike has some suggestions for you. you can follow him at mike inouye. >> and there's an app, you can get them delivered. >> you have all the answers for me. >> he can get you through traffic and your hunger spell, everything. vianey has the weather. >> i feel like it's a little

tricky with the system because people are saying, wait, it's barely raining. it's coming, i'm telling you. let's talk about where the heaviest of the pockets are right now. it's ramping up. you can see it right here just off the coast. but eventually this is going to move north to south, bringing with it some gusty winds. now, we are also expecting to see some of these cells begin to pick up, notice right here san francisco we're starting to get moderate rain. everywhere else the rain is pretty light. i wanted to turn your attention toward right here, you can see this activity picking up. if i kind of make this timestamp for boulder creek, notice it really starts to pick up at around 5:57. as the heavier cells move through, we're going to also see winds begin to pick up. that's another thing i'm very concerned about. i want to help you time this out because this rain will eventually move out at about 6:00 a.m., and you'll notice in santa cruz, i know santa cruz doesn't need any more rain,

we've had serious impacts out of the latest rainfalls, but it looks like there will be a stall-out until 7:30, we're still seeing pockets of times around that stretch. but also up through the north bay, the rain totals look to be the highest in the north bay. but because it's going to move out quickly, this is good news. we're going to see less rain than anticipated. right around 1:00, the winds will still be kicking up, but the rain does become scattered by the afternoon. so santa rosa, calistoga, napa. then we'll get a break, a little pocket of cloud cover. by the evening, so dinnertime, we'll get another round of showers at times picking up a little bit heavier through the south bay this time for san jose, morgan hill, santa cruz and concord and danville. by 8:00, a lot of this does move out. so let's talk estimated rain, because this includes the little bit we saw overnight, the north bay has seen a little bit of

rain as well. notice the totals are significantly down. we were originally seeing some of the model runs showing upwards of 2 to 4 inches potential. now these have backed off significantly, three-quarters of an inch, possibly 2 inches for higher elevation areas. we're still seeing the rain shadow in south bay, which is pretty typical. the winds are going to be the next big thing we're concerned about because look at this. by about 10:00 a.m. we start to see that ramp up. around san francisco, 50 plus miles per hour, san jose 29. now, it does look like the winds are howling a little later. some of the model runs had them late last night, but i'm happy because now folks will be awake. around 1:00, we'll see the winds ramping up at about 50 miles per hour. the danger is real for the possibility of downed trees and also we've seen this as well

impact a lot of homes. we're going to see the wind warning be in effect through 11:00 p.m. tonight. by livermore, 48 miles per hour, even in san jose, 25, 30 plus, look at concord, 52 plus. so these winds are going to get extremely dangerous heading into the next couple of hours. good news, once the heavy rain moves out and the winds begin to calm down, wednesday looks beautiful. we're going to get a mix of sunshine and cloud cover, 57 degrees, and then thursday we do get sunshine and, yes, it does show more rain on the way there. at least we get a break in between systems. let's get a check of the roads. >> right now we have kind of wet, sloppy conditions. here is 580. commute direction coming into the dublin interchange is fine. heading south is fine. the red line here is still the closure for northbound 680, that crashed big rig is still there blocking the entire freeway around wasle wood and sunol

boulevard on the other side. you cannot travel north from 84. you have to take 84 toward pleasanton and take the long way around. the tow truck, though, heavy-duty tow truck reportedly there and hopefully they can hook it up and clear it. i don't know if there are going to be any complications or if there's any damage that will take a while to clear. it's been there since 4:10. again, delays if you're traveling north through this portion of the tri-valley. meanwhile, 880 moves smoothly with lighter traffic, but definitely slick roadways. be careful out there. we have the south bay moving smoothly. peninsula, no major issues. the rain has got the rain-soaked areas even worse. no reports of major flooding, but we're tracking. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 5:23 right now. today is equal pay day and the state of gender pay gap is really alarming.

>> when women are asking for pay raises, there's a lot of power behind preparation. >> next here on "today in the bay," expert advice on the steps all women suld take when ho ho when a truck hit my son, ho i had so many questions about his case. i called the barnes firm.

it was the best call i could've made. call the barnes firm now and find out what your case could be worth. ♪ call one eight hundred, eight million ♪

well, today on this tuesday, it is equal pay day and this morning california's first

partner will talk about the gap. she'll be joined by several leaders, including mayor sheng thao. the statistics will alarming for women of color, black women earn at a rate of 67% and latina and indigenous at 57%. an adviser in san jose explains this has a domino effect. >> less pay means that they aren't as able to save for emergencies, contribute to retirement funds, and lastly really plan generational wealth. >> she says when it comes to asking for a raise, there's a lot of power behind preparation. she adds that timing is key and that if your company is making layoffs you should wait on asking for a pay raise. next, top stories that we're following this morning, including that powerful storm moving across the bay area. and ahead for you, we have live

team coverage on the conditions you will face as you start your day. also, mike inouye has an eye on your commute and meteorologist vianey arana has the hour-by-hour breakdown. >> reporter: all of that rain is one problem for this small monterey county town of pajaro. the other problem is the levee breached. i'm going to show you how people are dealing with

right now at 5:30, that rain already in the bay area moving through. here is a live look at stormranger. we're tracking the impact and what you can expect as you start your day with meteorologist vianey arana timing out the storm hour-by-hour. >> and we'll take you south of the bay where an entire neighborhood is already submerged in water. mike inouye is monitoring early morning commute problems, including a big headache shaping up for drivers in the tri-valley. this is "today in the bay," streaming live on roku, xumo, and online. good morning to you. i'm gia vang. laura garcia is off. >> i'm marcus washington. we want to get you started with everything. meteorologist vianey arana has been tracking the storm for us. vianey, how is it looking right now? >> we're starting to see some of those cells get a little stronger and this is where you could see the majority of the system using satellite radar. if i zoom this in using our mobile doppler radar stormranger, you can see some of the heavier rain just off the coast. let's take a closer look to see when this does move in.

around campbell, notice at around 6:20 we'll get heavier downpours, 6:05 around boulder creek and alameda around 6:25. the rain you see is going to ramp up some of the rain rates within the next hour or so. what to expect for today, because this system looks like it's moving out rather quickly, the rain totals are down a little bit, which is great because we have the flood concern. the soil is extremely saturated, flood watches are in effect. for monterey county, they are under a flood warning. there is a potential for landslides and also as the winds kick up, around 10:00 a.m. especially, through noon, we could see the potential for downed trees and power outages because we've got gusty conditions, upwards of 40, 50 plus miles per hour. we're monitoring the sierra and the snowmelt. i'll have a closer look at your seven-day outlook in a few minutes. this is northbound 680.

you see the flashing lights. cars and trucks are not moving. i'll show you where the stop is located, just shy of the castlewood/sunol off ramps. there was a jackknifed big rig reported this morning, there is a heavy-duty tow truck in the area. there's a section right here with vehicles stuck, but everybody coming into the area will be told to use 84 toward pleasanton and take the longer way around. use caution. rainy roadways. you might have trouble with visibility, so consider that. meanwhile, the rest of the bay, despite wet roads, 101 with mild slowing, looking at much more puddling and ponding in san francisco and in the north bay as well. 880 moves smoothly past the coliseum. around 7th through downtown, reports of a crash blocking the right lane. look how wet and soupy it is.

back to you. >> thanks. in the south bay, people in an entire neighborhood are holding their breath this morning, this is after the last storm breached the levee and this is what they're worried about, the river. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live this morning in the flood zone. this is really the last thing people there can handle right now. >> reporter: if you look at the roadway, you'll understand that it is completely impassable, and that's not just because of the rain. we're talking about the levee breach and the folks who chose not to leave are now trapped in their homes and they are going to be there for a while, surrounded by floodwater. >> here is our neighbor's house. they can't get out their driveway. it's just a giant lake for a mile in any direction. >> reporter: peen whooil, other

families are doing everything they can to try to get to safety. one family told us they first evacuated saturday as the waters rose here in the town of pajaro after a levee breach, that forced the evacuation of thousands of people over the weekend. on top of the worry about safety, a lot of people here are also worried about their jobs. this is a largely farmworker community and the strawberry fields here are now flooded by contaminated water, so there won't be work for a while. adding insult to injury, the sheriff's office tells us in the days following the floods, they arrested one person for looting and detained four others for being in an emergency disaster area, and that's one reason one man went against the warning to leave. >> i didn't want to lose anything and so i just felt it was best to stay. >> reporter: now, monterey

county sheriff and other emergency workers are getting assistance from other agencies, bay area wide, but this is a really widespread weather event, so a lot of communities are in need. we do know that the san jose police department is sending at least six officers a day to help with all of this. in pajaro, kris sanchez. two of the biggest names in mexican popular music are pitching in to help. they will each donate a portion of their upcoming bay area shows to a santa cruz county nonprofit called community bridges. long-time nonprofit provides food and health care to families needing assistance. they play at the s.a.p. on friday and oakland on saturday. . check out this closure in the east bay. a trail collapsed along stanley boulevard between pleasanton and livermore. this is next to shadow cliffs

lake. now, the road partially closed as well. meantime, in contra costa county, public works crews spent yesterday fixing a lot of trouble spots. the county was bracing for potential power outages, road closures and flooding ahead of the storm. the storm has many residents on the peninsula concerned about creeks and streams that may overrun. people in the woodland park apartments are still recovering from a storm that flooded parking lots and storage units on new year's day. many are worried they will see damaged walls, moldy interiors of storage units, some people who used storage units in the apartment complex are still cleaning up. she says there's still water in her storage unit and says she lost important documents that she couldn't save. another resident lost thousands of dollars of construction tools in the new year's storm but has

received no help from the city. in a statement, they say they have power washed them and will offer further services by request. let's take a look at interstate 80 right now and you can see the roadway is still open. chains are required. this is as the sierra braces for another wave of that serious snowfall. drivers last night, look what they faced. they faced light and spotty rain in the lower elevations on the way to tahoe. one traveling from vacaville says that they were filling up at truckee, and he said that he was trying to make it to tahoe before those blizzard conditions returned. >> get over there while we can. we paid for the week and we missed a week of skiing earlier this year. >> several feet of new snow may fall over the next few days at higher elevations. we want to bring in meteorologist vianey arana to show us exactly how things are lining up in the sierra.

i know a lot of people like to travel up there. >> the travel conditions to get up there, it's tough. there's a winter storm warning in effect for a reason, because we're going to see gusty winds. with atmospheric rivers, because they are known to be warmer systems, we do have the potential for a lot of snowmelt at about 5,000 feet. this winter storm warning will be in place all the way through wednesday at 5:00 p.m. you can see it for the sierra. we're also going to be tracking additional snowfall as well. and this is going to bring several inches of snow for elevations above 7,000 feet, mainly. anything below that it's going to be a wintery mix of rain, wind and snow, all the way pretty much through tonight into early tomorrow morning as well. as we inch closer toward wednesday and friday, the conditions will improve. another reminder, in addition to the winds in the sierra, the winds here locally are also going to be very impactful and this is going to remain in effect until 11:00 p.m. tonight.

i did look at the models and it looks like the winds pick up a little after 8:00 a.m. around the coastline. by 10:00, everyone is going to be seeing gusty winds, which means we could see the potential for downed trees and, yes, of course power impacts, power outages, something we've been dealing with since december of 2022 at this point. we'll take you through a closer look at some of the wind gusts and the timing of the storm coming up in a few minutes. let's check in with mike. >> we do have wet roadways. you're talking about the rain moving through more quickly than first anticipated. that's good news. the bad news is it still gets everybody. we still have slick roadways and a crash and closure on northbound 680, still blocked off. folks are forced toward this area, taking the longer way around. slowing on the southbound side, undoubtedly a distraction, as well as the commute that's building off the dublin interchange. again, northbound 680 at sunol

and castlewood is where the crash is, but the closure is back here at 84. that is complicating the counter-commute. meanwhile, the commute through the east bay is showing the build. it's a little lighter because i think a lot of folks planned on working from home today given the forecast. it's soupy conditions, slower through richmond. mill valley up here, sausalito, a lot of rain. everything is okay on that portion of the bay. and getting across the bay bridge, it's a smoother drive. we have a crash right around 7th. there were reports of a traffic break and that might have made traffic hold off a little bit. so far, this is an example of what we're talking about, a lot of folks opting to work from home if we can. that's an option now that we had years to adapt. back to you. >> thanks for staying on top of that. we want to see what the rain looks like where you live. tag us in your pictures and

videos on social media. we'll be watching on twitter, facebook and instagram. coming up on "today in the bay," president biden continues his tour of california. we'll have eve

it is 5:44. 57 degrees, so it's not cold outside. but the rain is starting to pick up. we'll take you through the timing and when it finally clears out coming up in just a few minutes. not clear yet.

the san mateo bridge showing water on the road. you can see the wind pushing the mist around. there's rain and wind. san mateo bridge moving smoothly. northbound 680 still blocked at castlewood/sunol boulevard. the jackknifed big rig still has to be cleared so our alternate is 84 through pleasanton and livermore. so far it's holding up, but the commute is starting to build everywhere. more coming up. president biden continues his day in california, traveling from san diego to monterey park and the l.a. area. >> he's going to speak out against gun violence. >> exactly. good morning to you. monterey park, the scene of that awful shooting that killed 11 people just a few months ago. you know what? there have been 51 mass shootings since then. 51. the latest were yesterday, four shot and injured in lubbock, texas, four shot and killed in

dallas. >> mr. biden was in san diego where he met with the prime ministers of the united kingdom and australia to sell australia submarines in a show of force against china. he'll head to monterey park today to announce a new executive order strengthening background checks for gun sales. vice president kamala harris was in monterey park shortly after the shooting. a gunman killed people celebrating the lunar new year at a dance hall, you'll recall. it was the deadliest mass shooting in l.a. county history. today's executive order does not really break any new ground. it will direct the attorney general to make sure that gun dealers know about a new background check law and ask the ftc to examine how gun manufacturers may market to children. >> former president trump and president biden share something in common, they both claim that florida governor ron desantis wants to cut your social security. president trump said that while campaigning in iowa monday.

now, it's not clear desantis holds that position, for is desantis officially running for president. but claiming the other guy wants to cut your medicare and social security has been a very potent weapon for both biden and trump when they direct it at other republicans. >> and former colorado congresswoman pat schroeder has died. she led the way for women in congress at a time when there were not many women in congress. the democrat was elected for the first time in 1972 and was the sort of loud unspoken pull-no-punches person that you might associate with ocasio cortez today. she was never allowed to chair a committee by herself, despite the fact she spent more than 20 years in congress. asked at the time how she could be a congresswoman and a mother of small children, she said, i have a brain and a uterus, and i use both. she was 82.

>> we're following everything that president biden will be doing in honest ray park. we'll talk about it on social media. on twitter, you can follow me at scott mcgrew. >> thank you. santa clara county is expected to vote on a plan helping teachers make it in the bay. it involves a land swap with apple for a project that could potentially hois up to 100 teachers. it is currently a vacant lot. in approved, the county will have one year to bring the plan together. it's official, jimmy g is on the move. he's leaving as the team reshuffles its quarterbacks. garoppolo is signing a new three-year $67 million deal with the las vegas raiders. he leaves the niners after five plus seasons. the niners are signing free agent sam darnold who will likely play backup to brock

purdy or trey lance. >> with the end of the era for jimmy g, also the end for this artist, her boyfriend is a huge fan and when the rumors started last year, she started drawing jimmy g every day until he gets traded. in the end, jimmy g's exit is a free agent signing, but yesterday she drew her 404th final drawing with a nod to the shawshank redemption and the tim robbins' character breaking out of prison. >> coming up in the rain. >> she's going to have to find something else to draw. trending this morning, one man taking things to extreme with his beef over chicken. >> this is a new lawsuit that's begging the question, when is a wing no longer a wing? apparently it's when it is a nugget. that man is suing buffalo wild

wings claiming that boneless wings are actually chicken nuggets and he's claiming that the chain uses deceptive marketing by listing it that way on the menu. buffalo wild wings responded in with a tweet and says, it's true, our boneless wings are all white meat chicken, our hamburgers contain no ham, our buffalo wings are zero percent buffalo. the suit does not seek a specific monetary amount. >> why do i think he's going to get somewhere with this? it's such a hotly debated topic. >> i was disappointed because i went to another place and they had boneless wings, because you can pull them out. no, it was a little bit dryer than i wanted. i like a dark meat. >> we like flats or drums? >> both. >> i like them both. >> i like flats. if i can do all flats. weather, let's talk about

it. we have a microclimate weather alert and we are going to be seeing rain ramp up. right now in san francisco it looks okay. we do have, for the most part, light to moderate rain moving through. at least one thing that will be helpful with this storm system is notice the heavier cells just off the coast. it's going to move by rather quickly. so let's see where we're seeing rain right now. santa rosa, we've got rain coming down. we've got a little bit of a heavier down pour in fairfield through concord, and then down through the south bay, this system that you see right here -- i should say this cell that you see just offshore will make its move inland through campbell at about 6:43. then around boulder creek, we're talking 6:30. so we haven't seen the heaviest rain just yet. once it moves in, it's going to ramp up. your hourly forecast right now shows the rain picking up in santa cruz around 6:00 a.m. and then it just kind of stays there and then gets heavier through

the north bay. santa rosa, san rafael, napa, parts of oakland will see these periods of heavy downpours at times through about 1:00 p.m., and then it becomes scattered, which is good. we're going to see the rain start to back off, we'll get clearing, and then the rain will move back into into the evening hours at around 3:30. 5:00, we'll get periods of downpours again, mainly for the south bay. then look what happens behind that. we'll get clearing and the rain model is showing less rain than we expected. the north bay is expected to get just a little over an inch, same for the santa cruz mountains, a little under 2 inches. still some of the higher totals through areas like guerneville, the possibility of 2 to 3 inches along with some of the higher peaks in the santa cruz mountains as well. let's talk about the flood watches that are going to be in effect, because this will be still a possibility as we are seeing rain on top of already

wet ground. we've got flood watches in effect for alameda, contra costa, santa clara, and we have areas where we're monitoring where the storms began several weeks ago. mendocino county is under a flood warning through tuesday. the russian river is expected to get near flood stage as early as tomorrow morning. monterey county already seeing major flooding. also still under a flood warning through friday. then, of course, we've got those slick conditions through the sierra. a combination of rain and wind and also snow. the winter storm warning will be in place through monday. speaking of flooding potential, san lorenzo river is expected to crest today just a little under the major flood stage at about 20.6 feet. it is above the flood stage of 16.5. this is something we've seen time and time again, which is why the evacuations happened just last week.

the wind gusts also, a big possibility for downed trees. around 10:00 a.m. it starts to ramp up around the coast. 50 plus miles. livermore, 43 miles per hour. san jose, 29, 30 plus. and then about 1:00 it still stays really gusty. it isn't until later into the evening, i would say dinnertime, we see some of the winds back off. then your seven-day outlook, wednesday and thursday we will get a break. we get sunshine. now, i know there's rain in the forecast for the weekend, but this is not an atmospheric river system. this is a weaker storm that will move in late on friday, bringing spotty rain for saturday, and also a slight chance for rain on sunday. the rain totals are not very impressive. now, on monday into next week, monday, tuesday, even into next wednesday, we do have a bit more of an atmospheric river setup, but even that one looks weaker than we've seen these past two weeks. again, wednesday and thursday, those are going to be your fun

dry days, then we get more sfot rain heading into the weekend. we're looking at the caltrans camera, which i had hoped would be clearing up. the vehicles are still there, stuck on the northbound 680. we'll take you to the map. the reason i hoped they would start moving is because we hear that chp has opened one lane now. one lane northbound, with hopes of clearing more shortly. i don't know exactly if it's going to be all lanes, but one is better than none. you see the traffic starting to trickle past the scene. castlewood/sunol boulevard, the jackknifed big rig blocking lanes. with a lane open, there you go, we saw it change from closed to the sensors. the backup is not quite as bad as it was. it looks like the freeway has reopened to northbound traffic. you know you can take 680 toward the dublin interchange. the commute is light right now.

listening to the forecasts, i think folks choose to hold off on the commute this morning. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now, an investigation is still under way in san francisco. this is following the stabbing onboard a muni bus. sfpd saying that it happened at a bus stop yesterday at stockton street near union square. investigators say the incident took place following an altercation between several young men onboard. sfpd detained several suspects. this morning's storm is starting to strengthen in parts of the bay area. check out how it looks right now at the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see slick roads. a wet commute, for sure. here is new video of a large tree toppling in the north bay. we're at the scene as part of our l

right now at 6:00, we are in another microclimate weather alert as the latest storm hits the bay area. look at all that green and yellow. meteorologist vianey arana is timing out the storm's path hour-by-hour. >> the storm is already leaving new damage in the north bay from fallen trees to a development just now and a major freeway closure. we're monitoring the storm-related hazards. this is "today in the bay," streaming live on roku, xumo, and online. good morning to you. thanks so much for starting your morning with us. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm gia vang. the rainfall in some places is starting to intensify. let's get to our team coverage. mike is monitoring major issues on the road and bob redell is? the north bay with a look at new damage overnight. >> we want to start with meteorologist vianey arana leading oov
