we are seeing rain coming down and also wind starting to kick up in some spots, and it's also moving into the east bay with some rain in oakland. we've seen the spotty showers in san francisco, but it's mainly the north bay right now that's getting the brunt of all of this widespread rain, as we get a closer look, we can see the activity there as it continues to move across parts of lake and sonoma counties, mendocino, napa county, toward marin county, with spotty rain. it has also picked up in oakland, as well as the berkeley area and heading up toward richmond, and it's also raining from concord all the way down to dublin on 680. we're starting to see the activity filling in@fcd]:u$ere. for the peninsula, it's been a lot more spotty and it's going to be off and on as you're driving up and down 280, but a look at the wider view of the storm system that has continued to get stronger as it moves closer to the bay area, also starting to pick up on some thunderstorms farther to the

north and that will be the possibility for us as well. i'm looping this 12 hours so we can see how the storm has developed and it's getting much more organized. it did look kind of disorganized earlier, just yesterday evening, but now we're starting to see it really taking shape and that's when we start to see those winds picking up. looking live in san rafael, it's a wet morning drive and we're going to continue to see more rain coming in for today, especially by late morning into the early afternoon hours, but then there will be some breaks. so we'll talk more about the impacts and what we're expecting coming up. mike, you're looking at the wet and windy drive. >> in the north bay, sometimes it takes a few seconds for us to get the right lighting. you see the drops on the lens and kari and i have been tracking that, as the rain has been pushing across into vallejo and the east bay as well. we're looking at wet roads. the green highlighting is back and that means extra caution as we'll have slicker conditions

the bridge near oracle park, the coast guard is calling on people to take precaution. this man has a boat nearby. >> i'm not going to spend my time there, no. >> tell me why. >> because it won't be pleasurable at all. >> reporter: the storm may not be as powerful as the recent ones, but because the ground is saturated and trees and infrastructure is compromised, they're asking everyone as much as possible to stay indoors and stay off the roads. terry mcsweeney, "today in the bay." a bill that would punish oil companies for making too much money off of california drivers now sits on governor governor gavin newsom's desk. state lawmakers approved the measure which the governor first called for last year. this is in the wake of skyrocketing gas prices. it calls for a new committee that would cap profits and penalize companies exceeding the cap.

right now we are under a microclimate weather alert, tracking a new storm moving into the bay area. we've been seeing a lot of bomb cyclones. that is a storm that intensifies rapidly over the course of 24 hours, and so far we've seen the strengthening, how you measure this area of low pressure, come down by about 17 millibars, to classify it as a bomb cyclone it could be 24 millibars within 24 hours.

so we are seeing it on track here, and also the gusty winds and heavy rain really picking up, and watching the storm track and whether it taps into the tropical moisture and whether that enhances the rainfall. does it make it an atmospheric river. we're looking at stormranger, we've got it powered up on san bruno mountain. it's going to give us the best view of both the north bay, the south bay, all around the bay area, as the storm moves in. and right now it's mainly the north bay that's getting the more widespread rain, but we're also seeing some pockets of some heavier downpours, not only for solano county, but moving into contra costa county as well. so a closer look at the north bnow for the upper elevations, with spotty activity the farther south you go. we've seen the wave of rain moving around the mount diablo

area. elsewhere, we are seeing lighter showers moving through for the peninsula, widening out the view so you can see how this storm continues to evolve and strengthen, even though the lows are going to stay off the coast of the bay area, it's also going to have a pretty big impact. last week we had the same kind of storm, but it dropped right over us, and that's the reason why it brought down a lot more trees. so here is where we rank our year, how this basically stacks up to our previous years. san francisco rainfall so far measuring over 30 inches, and the last time we had this much rain was 2005. so right now it's ranking at about the 12th wettest season ever and the number one season was in 1983 where we had 43 inches of rainfall. these records have been kept for 174 years. so looking at how many rain days we've had, this year versus last

year, we had 38 rain days so far, we've had 60. so the bay area cities, many have exceeded their seasonal averages of rainfall for early march, and from october to march that's when we measure our rain days. we've had, once again, 32 days. so looking at what to expect today, we're going to continue to see rain coming in, becoming more widespread through late morning into the early afternoon, and then starting to taper off from north to south. so the south bay will see the rain a lot later and then some spotty activity continuing into tomorrow. that's also when we could see some thunderstorms. but in all, we're looking at anywhere from about 1 to 2 inches of rainfall, but there will be pockets farther to the north as well as our coastal areas over the santa cruz mountains that could see a lot more. once this system gets out of here, a little bit of a break. but there still will be more active weather going into the weekend, as well as early next

week. we're just not seeing anything as strong as what we're seeing right now. but still that possibility of more sierra snow continues and wecould see maybe 2 to 3 more feet of snow over the next several days. so looking at our seven-day forecast, the breaks will be very few and far between. we'll see more activity coming in for the weekend. mike, you're seeing the camera get moved around in oakland. >> there you go. the camera is getting pushed around. this is a rooftop camera across from the coliseum, so the wind might catch it as the storm blows through and we have, of course, wet pavement. you're going to have the impact of the rain in the north bay, coming through the east bay, along the peninsula. moving south toward the contra costa county area and south of the dublin interchange as well. northbound we still have the crew, they should be clear. and then, of course, the

continuing issue, 580, shifted to the left as you travel toward tracy. south bay and peninsula look great. back to you. >> thanks, mike. a major breakthrough in the hit and run sunday night that killed a los gatos woman, her dog, and injured her 11-year-old daughter. san jose police say they found the car and they have arrest today driver who ran a red light and then the scene. as "today in the bay's" thom jensen reports, we're learning more about the victim beloved by her community and family. >> reporter: more flowers at the scene of the deadly hit and run on blossom hill road. the memorial for 45-year-old limin cao, being remembered as a hard-working mother of two and a caring neighbor who helped others after recent storm damage. she was killed, along with her family's dog, in this crosswalk at about 7:00 sunday night. the driver never stopped. >> the pedestrians who are walking in the crosswalk had the legal right-of-way. they were doing exactly the right thing. the driver was going against a
