around the santa cruz mountains with no surprise this is the system where the mountainous terrain more efficiently more anere's ty more of it. the showers will continue rolling in for the rest of tonight.los like things are tapering off, another wave will develop and fall on the saturated ground and this is the case in early tomorrow morning with a flood watch through 10:00 on sunday with the main flooding threat this evening and tonight. flash flooding on roadways and watch out for mudslides. especially during the overnight when those are harder to see. current wind 45 miles per hour at half moon bay, otherwise 25 to 35 miles per hour with stronger wind working inland through the evening which means we have a wind advisory in effect with windy conditions through sunrise tomorrow, up to 50 miles per hour with more tree damage and power outages, be prepared. we will look at the rain

external call center monday to friday, 9:00 until 5:00 at the number 86-899-1861. you can email them online. we know you have a lot of questions for them. we know you have questions so we brought in the expert. davis, any services affected that you know of by the storm with a cyber hack that could be needed? >> absolutely. i am a oakland resident and ransomware attacks which lockdown the city impact critical services. during the attack services like 311 are unavailable. it is my understanding this will be restored, but now we're dealing with this data breach. >> when you get the email or phone call saying that information was compromised, what response do you have? >> itt knowing the data you have that is out there. there are steps you can take to

protect yourself. if financial information is breached, make sure you monitor the accounts, update passwords, if email or telephone numbers are breached, make sure you are aware for phishing attacks. after the attack criminals will modify the data. >> what is spear phishing? >> that is where you use details about a person to craft an email attack against them and for them into clicking a malicious link or handing over data that can be used to credit a fraudulent transaction. in some case sending thousands of dollars to criminal. >> the most vulnerable, at a advanced age people get the email and it looks like something that might apply to them, very vulnerable. >> online fraud is the largest type of attack that we see, ransomware used to be a minor issue, but since the pandemic it has increased 82% between 2020 and 2021, rising over $700

million in business over the past couple of years. >> let's talk about liability. we aregettinthe o and looking at thengine on this cyber attack so as a oakland resident should they have done more to protect citizens and employees whose information looks like it's been compromised? >> atlanta, baltimore, d.c., la unified, municipalities are being targeted and with the complex network it is very hard to defend them. it is unclear what steps oakland had taken, but most ransomware attacks will take 24 days to resolve so it looks like oakland will restore services without paying the ransom. we always tell clients to not pay the ransom. it is up to them and in any case you always risk when the attack has happened that the data would be released even if to you with a company

the sierra expecting several feet of new snow on top of the snow that has piled up. that's what it looks like when snow meets wind. constant shoveling in truck he and people say they are running out of places to put the snow. >> this is the one with the most non-breaks in between. >> this is the most snow i have experienced in 20 years. >> no smiling because she is sick of it. >> reporter: a high school cancel classes due to problems of the heavy load of snow on the roof. now a look at the forecast with chief meteorologist paul heggen. if you're thinking about driving in the mountains, do not. >> do not, the bay area roads are tricky enough with the rain. the moderate strength atmospheric river has arrived. moderate is the amount of water vapor being transported overhead. it does not correlate to the ground-level impact necessarily, but this is

behaving the way these systems do. you can see on the radar loop with the big picture on the back edge of the moisture that's where the radar stops as it bends away with the surface bending away. 20 more moisture is headed this way. let's look at the heavy rain. from san francisco to the north. zooming in on san francisco, marin county, parts of contra costa county with heavy downpours, localized flooding possible. not onwidespread bas, but as you make your way around everybody knows the routes that they take where water collects around a curve or the side of one part of the road. you will have issues in those spots through the evening into tonight. southern half of the bay area, as the firehose of moisture will direct itself to the southern half of the bay area through tonight into tomorrow morning. even when we get a little break

in spots, there will be plenty of rain elsewhere which will fill in with heavy downpours through tonight into early tomorrow morning. this is where you can tell with the firehose is directing itself to the south. to the santa cruz mountains and by early afternoon we are into the off and on pattern which will continue friday afternoon, overnight friday and into the weekend. at no one time over the weekend will i guarantee dry weather, but there will be breaks in between the showers with locally heavy downpours from time to time. the best chance of rain saturday should be in the north bay, but it could be anywhere at any time. very little predictability to this type of weather pattern with more lingering showers likely sunday before another atmospheric river comes this way monday and monday night. this one through sunday morning, for the north bay, anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 inches of rain anticipated.

this is the forecast model data. they give us a good idea of what to expect and that is en r to cause problems, most of it tonight into tomorrow morning. southern half of the bay area, the mountains could be modest, but even there nearly 2 inches total and in the santa cruz mountains there is more. nearly 5 inches over the next couple of days. we have gusty wind. strongest along the coast making their way inland for the evening and tonight with widespread 30 to 40 miles per hour. some of the strongest around 50 miles per hour, strong enough to do some tree damage. make sure your devices are charged. by tomorrow morning the wind will be noticeable, but they are backing down with the main threat of wind occurring through the rest of tonight. the sun coming up tomorrow and that should be a lesser concern. lingering rain chances into the weekend giving way to another

round of rain monday into monday night. adding up all the rain over the next seven days, this is the estimate. even the rain locations over two and half inches with widespread amounts of 3 to 5 inches across the bay area with higher elevations of the north bay and santa cruz mountains 7 to 10 inches and that's why we are concerned about flooding. right now clouds with showers over the entire bay area, including san francisco and you can see the camera shaking. upper 40s around 50 degrees. those numbers do not change much through tonight. we hover in place and then tomorrow with the tropical nature of the system, it is dragging warmer air toward us so we will be closer to normal when the widespread rain winds down. more showers for the weekend, be flexible with outdoor plans. widespread rain monday into monday night with another atmospheric river that will add insult to injury. lingering showers monday and

tuesday. now, this is a actual dry day coming up but you have to wait a week. >> okay, thank you. we have you covered throughout this first alert weather day on kpix.com and cbs news bay area. instead of moving away from this burning car, one person ran to it. we will hear from

this van just hit me out of nowhere. after the accident, i was in a lot of pain

and i decided that i needed to get an attorney because i could not work. i called jacoby & meyers they had their own dream team for every need, every area. they took care of me like a queen. i would recommend you call jacoby & meyers they really went to bat for me. if you've been in a serious accident, we are here for you. call jacoby & meyers, justice for you since 1972.

plenty of rain across the bay area. the northern half is getting the heavy downpours so be alert for localized flooding. if you're hitting the roads for the afternoon and evening commute, give yourself as much time with as much patience as you can and be safe. will have up on cbs news bay area and on kpix 5 at 5:00. we are celebrating community bridge builders and now we are highlighting an nfl wide receiver hailed as a hero. minnesota vikings player kj osborne helped pull someone from a flaming car wreck. he was in a uber when he spotted the accident, he and the driver and two others saw the need and step forward, they pulled the guy from the car. >> we had no idea if the car was going to blow up. you know, i picked the guy up and we walked 10 or 15 yards

away from the car. >> he believes the men suffered only non-life-threatening injuries. now his personal team is working to reconnect with him. trapped in the snow with no cell phone signal. what would you do? we will tell you about one man and his very creative call

another live look at the afternoo ne .

drivers, it is slick so go slow and be safe. did this next story like a movie plot, imagine being trapped in your car on a remote snow we road. your family is out of the country and nobody knows where you are. that happened to a guy in oregon. luckily he had a drone with him and it made all the difference. he typed a text to a friend saying where he was and attached his cell phone to the drone and send it several hundred feet up in the air and that was enough for the phone tethered to the drone to pick up a signal. rescues would then find him, they also found another driver who had been stranded. that driver did not have a drone. >> that is ingenuity. >> a drone instead of a shovel. speaking of news, you are keeping everybody updated. >> widespread rain which is just getting started.
