some time and a recipe for an accident, just add water. on 280, near john daly boulevard, right now, heavy police presence because an accident backing up traffic, so the chp has an . >> nowadays, our advice to everyone is slow down, that is by far the number one cause of crashes on rainy days. just people going too fast for the wet roadways. it is time to replace your windshield wipers and make sure you still have good tread on your tires. very often a common cause of crashes that we see is people spinning out which is only made worse when you have a low friction due to poorly maintained tires, if you're out there driving and you come across standing water and the entire roadway and you are not sure how deep it is. please do not try. and in pleasant hill, take a look at the damage caused multiple cars tonight, you can see a tree fell onto at least two cars there, homeowners do not know how it got knocked over. only that they are

set up, the storm responsible for all of this, technically, that storm hasn't gotten here yet. what we have experienced here today, was the atmospheric river that was getting pulled up in front of the storm. it managed to reach down into the subtropics and pull a really good plume of moisture and directed right at us today, it was kind of like the preview before the storm itself actually gets here, if you watch the progression of that, there is tomorrow, it will be on-again off-again showers not only tomorrow, but monday and tuesday . we have got three more days to go, the next three days will not be like today with widespread continuous rain, it will be a different character. i will explain what that is like we will talk about snow coming up in the first alert forecast. now, back to you. the weather was raining on pleasanton's holiday parade tonight or it would have rained on it if the parade had marched on but it did not, it was canceled. but the city was

peterson hong says the perfect storm of covid, the flu and rsp is putting an enormous strain on the bay area hospital systems especially children hospitals which have seen an influx of rsp cases. >> so for many pediatricians, they are constantly in elective surgeries, they are not accepting a lot of transfers when the beds are full. >> reporter: even with cases of covid, other viruses on the rise, reinstating mask mandates would be a choice of last resort, giving the pushback and how politically charged the issue of masks have become. >> i think there is very little political appetite to do this and we are going to try to not do it as much as possible for the season. i think l.a. will probably pull the trigger sooner because they have redefining criteria in the bay area. >> reporter: the good news that

dr. chin-hong says, we have learned a lot about how to protect ourselves, the advice is all things you have heard r therapeutics but the work he says, if you let them. devin fehely, kpix live. >> if mask mandates were to return it might not make a difference whether you use a regular mask or and and 95 mask a new study in the annals of internal medicine found no evidence that and 95 masks are any better than the surgical masks at preventing infection. former warriors garden jeremy lin has been fine for speaking out against china's covid policies. he currently plays in china's professional league and he was fined the equivalent of $1400 for what the league called inappropriate remarks about quarantine hotel related facilities. and the team stated one of those hotels, and then posted a video complaining about it. the video has since then been deleted. rain, we are getting a

little break right now but more on the way. >> we are nd fipplehe e whis cofrom onqu xt asghfu auif we watch the last few hours you can see how we managed to get an inch of rain today. and a lot of the rain is from the south bay and the east bay, san jose, castro valley and we didn't get much of the north bay, we got rain but we got to 10th of an inch of rain, here is how things will change on that tomorrow, tomorrow's rent will not be as good as today, it will be as widespread or as steady but the next phase of the storm, future cast can see that. that is actually the leading edge, the cold front of the system driving this whole thing but what we were experiencing all day today was a really unique kind of rare set up where the storm was able to tap into what was left of a we got the spirit river and there was a lot of rain before the actual storm got here. this tomo. th ur ld falls we

will get a line of showers that moves across in the predawn hours, sunday, and then a few more like that. and it is pretty much on again off again. all the way through sunday, monday and tuesday morning, so what is different about what is still to come is today, it was widespread and steady, everybody was getting it and it seemed like it went on for a while. over the next three days, it will be a lot more -- you will get a quick burst of rain coming through, and it will not rain for hours. and then you will get another little shower that will come through, some of these right here as we get into monday night we are getting close to the center of this thing, where all of the coldest air will be, that is where you can maybe get an isolated thunderstorm which means, even though it won't be prolonged widespread rain when it comes through, you can get a really good brief little downpour. maybe even here some thunder or get some hail in ardo it tat we. but again it

just went rough tohe day was foadding up big rainfall totals in the gates. the next two days will still be good because there is still rain coming through. but it won't be quite as impressive but if you added up, the numbers look good, we are still looking at maybe 3/10 of an inch of rain for the south bay. maybe as much of a half an inch of rain in the north bay. when this hits the sierra, it is great news, here is the interesting thing you can see play out we will let the snow go for now, until about 2:00 in the morning, remember the cold front will come through around 2:00 in the morning once that cold front hits the sierra, watch what goes to the snow level. it really starts to come down the mountain, and it gets down to around 4500 feet maybe, with all of that cold air, it really is like a snowmaking machine. a couple of feet on the past, maybe three from this, that is great news for the sierra, and great news for the snowpack, and really bad news if you have to travel

er storm ing stfectl nday morn morning lows ar, ll have of clouds, the daytime highs barely making it up to 60 and the seven-day forecast we know we can get that chance of rain going and we get a break wednesday and thursday and then friday the next system we have another one coming for friday and going into next weekend so no complaints around here, we can use it and we will keep tracking at any first alert forecast and now, guys back to you. and east bay nonprofit, believes every kid deserves a shiny gift on christmas morning, today was their event of the year, their big bike built at the alameda county fairgrounds hundreds of volunteers mobilized to assemble 553 new bicycles, they gathered at the fairgrounds and say they felt good knowing that their work will have a positive impact on the community. >> my heart is full. i mean we have worked all year to do today. and, to see the bikes
