stay indoors, if you can and telecommute if you have the option. it does look like the storms will intensify. james fletcher joins us now with a look at what to expect . when do we get a chance to move forward? eventually by this weekend we will start to dry out. we have stormy weather to get through. let's break it down. this is what we are looking at was stormtracker 4. everybody is in the green and we are seeing pockets of heavy rain. we have to zoom into the east bay to get the line of that. showers moving through alamo south of lafayette. the areas in orange are at 4/10 of an inch coming down.

that is what we are seeing which is content -- how intense the storms are. this is clayton at the base of mount diablo where they are getting heavy showers. the line extends to pittsburgh and antioch with the rain coming down along highway four and impacting a good part -- 4 and impacting a good part of the delta. dublin, heavy share is around your area and more on the way. that's what we see at the left and center of your screen with that big blob of yellow barreling down on dublin and pleasanton. showers continue a little longer. let's look at the san mateo bridge. it looks like you will be hit and miss as you cross over the bay. i am also tracking heavier showers on the peninsula. just past half moon bay and headed toward san mateo, there are showers over the peninsula. that's what we are seeing at

the moment. let's look at future cast. let's fast-forward and it looks like things may break up just a touch, potentially, at the 7:00 our. as we head -- hour. as we head into the day, it looks like we will have pockets of heavy rain. at noon, the storms intensify. as the kids get out of school, there will be rain as the kids get out of school. look at this at 7:45. if you are commuting during the 7:00 our, you could -- hour, you could run into torrential down spores. downpours. as we get into the overnight hours, things calm down and there will be a few showers left over. that's what we are tracking for the next 24 hours. we are not out of the woods yet.

it looks like now that part of the low pressure system fueling this may drop to the south and when it does, we could be looking at another burst of wet weather wednesday night and into thursday. all indications are that we should be drying things out and that's what we have in store. a wet day and a half to get through. stay tuned to kron 4 and we will get you through it . here is the seven-day outlook . the weekend looks great. the temperatures don't warm too much and we will hover in the upper to mid 50s or next -- for much of the next seven day period. let's go to robin for the roads. it is quiet out there for now, but it probably will not stay that way. wet roads always leads to an increase in the number of accidents and spin outs in the bay area. use caution, reduce your speed and take it easy. leave as early as you can. checking the san mateo bridge

with a live look at the traffic on 92 west out of hayward. no big trouble spots. or, heading into the peninsula. 14 minutes for that trip. a high wind warning in place for the bay bridge. be careful if you are in a high profile vehicle. we are accident install free. a quick nine minutes from the bottom of the maze to fremont street. the only thing i am tracking is heading into dublin where there is a stalled interchange -- big rake at the interchange. it is blocking one lane causing a minor slowdown. the overall trip out of livermore to dublin is fine. just when you get to the interchange, watch for that at tivoli as they cleared the big rig.

this is still in place from yesterday. highway 17 in both directions from fein hill to sugarloaf. i just got off the phone with chp and asked if there was an alternate and when they would release traffic? they just don't know. there is a lot to clean up with the flooding and the mudslides on 17. avoid this area. as soon as we receive information about the closure, we will pass it on. right now there is no word on reopening. big news with downed trees, power lines and flash flooding. there are other things making headlines caused by her own careless actions. how do you avoid these habits in people behaving badly? >> reporter: big storms in the bay area bring big problems. some of the problems are avoidable. let's use bear island in center city as an example. after a storm it becomes rich

with something else. everything we discard upstream and on the freeways. in the bay area we have something known as storm drains and most drain directly to the bay. it's a good system which keeps the water moving and prevents flooding. there's one tiny problem. everything on the ground ends up in the san francisco bay, including things we don't see. by that, i means top -- mean toxic stuff. it is waiting for the next rain. as it drains into the slough, things like cups from fast food restaurants and even tennis balls end up here. here is a look at the storm drain with the debris waiting to be flushed into the bay. when it is flushed, you can see the trash in the water. i have to admit there's another problem. it's a homeless encampment. some trash comes from the encampment. however, much of the trash comes from us haphazardly -- haphazardly tossing things onto

the street or sidewalk. before you toss something on the ground, remember that not all gets cleaned up and some ends up in the bay and that's bad. in redwood city, stanley roberts, kron 4 news. in the east bay, areas underwater are getting more rain this morning . kron 4 was at east bay and showing us how that's and is showing us how they are preparing for the storm. -- and is showing us how they prepare for the storm. >> reporter: isaac castille was stranded in his house during that time and he was able to watch the water rise as a collected in the dip next to the road.>> it didn't get all the way onto the lawn, but is still impacted drivers.>> reporter: it leads to a flood canal and things were more dire at her place.>> when i got

home, it was halfway up my driveway and under the car here. a lot of park in the street that washed away from my neighbors and my yard. -- neighbor's and my yard.>> reporter: after all that, no significant damage. it was smart to leave the sandbags out to protect garages as it started pouring again monday night. up the road in lafayette, a utility worker was clearing water from the phone cable. >> we are in storm conditions and we are working around the clock. we are working 10-12 hours a day. >> reporter: a bucket truck operator cleared several sites. back in pleasant hill, there could be more flooding, but it should pale in comparison to sunday's downpour. kron 4 news. touchdown exhalation point[ cheering and applause ]--

causing a huge mess. we are live at the accident scene in just a moment. >> robin has been following this we are looking at the traffic. it is still blocking three lanes of traffic on 24 at broadway. they are just now cleaning up debris and removing the vehicle, so it will be a very slow commute through the tunnel. just awful for this commute for westbound 24. this rainy weather is not helping. you will need to leave early to get from walnut creek to get through that traffic and to the oakland side. if it clears more we will let you know. we are tracking more problems out there. we have this vehicle overturned at sycamore valley. the two left lanes are blocked and traffic is sluggish. so far

this one is not causing a major delays but it depends on how long it is blocking. drivetime looks okay for both directions here. that's not bad considering you have an overturned accident there. the a bridge under a high wind advisory. it is getting there and a little crowded across the upper deck. not a bad commute. checking on the matteo bridge people are cruising along here nothing but brake lights leaving hayward. it is packed across the bridge to 101. just remember do not forget your headlights and wipers, watch yours eat and leave early. robin is live at the

scene. >>reporter: the accident is just about cleared but you can see the backup that is caused. it took place around 5 am this morning. let's get to the video. this is westbound 24 just before the broadway exit. the pickup driver lost control and he was possibly driving to fast for the wet roads. he spun at least three times, slammed into the hillside and his pickup caught fire. fortunately there were no major injuries. he should be okay. the police are still at the scene and we moved away from the scene because they are just moments away from reopening it. when we arrived around six 20 a.m.ã6 dac 20 a.m.

keep in mind the backup that it has already caused, those are headlights heading westbound as you get through the tunnel heading toward oakland. there is bumper to bumper traffic and on your screen those cars are heading eastbound . no matter which direction you go there is a lot of paddling along the roadways. it is gusty and a steady rain fall in oakland. james is in the weather center tracking the storm.>> good morning guys. a very active scene over the sierra. a blizzard warning is in effect there. widespread rain along highway 24 , right about here heading into oakland. we have a lot of green which means a lot of widespread rain. we have heavier pockets of rain also.

one over tiburon and to making there direction toward berkeley , kensington i should say. inbound in the map we have more pockets working there way over san francisco. this one is working toward the golden gate bridge. if you will there be there in the next 20 minutes you will be dealing with that overhead. we are also tracking some light rain to heavy rain at times over 580 over the hill here into the valley. if that is part of your commute you have that to deal with. that will probably be gone in the next 10 to 15 minutes. a bigger concern is the south bay, we have heavy showers at times and we are tracking heavier showers over the san mateo bridge. it looks like those showers will be overhead for at least one half hour. future cast is mapping this out

for us. still looking at pockets of heavy rain and then it gets more intense past of the noon hour. you can see the yellow and orange and by 3 pm this afternoon, that heavy rain goes bay area wide. the north bay will be seeing rain all day long. that may be a problem for kids leaving school. it gets more intense for your ride home. radar indicates a more heavy rain to more than half an inch per hour and stronger across the entire bay area. it will be on the intent side with a possibility of a thunderstorm. the red is where the weather gets really nasty, if you can get home try earlier rather than later. through the overnight hours it clears out nicely with scattered showers on tap for wednesday morning. this is a tuesday all day event.

the rain has been falling, river levels. is planning on taking the baby out this afternoon but we are canceling that. hey mom's, if you are planning outside things this afternoon and/or activities and stay home if you can. don't get caught out in this weather and the windy conditions. look at these rain totals. for the last 12 hours. out toward west of hillsboro and picked up more than 2 inches in the last few hours. lafayette almost 2 inches. oakland over mac one inch and san francisco picking up more as well. the russian river yes all eyes on there today and the next

couple of days. flood stage is at 32 feet, right now it is just under 34. that is why we have seen flooding around the area. the forecast for the area will be 37.5 feet by tomorrow at 5 pm. flooding will most likely get worse over the next couple of days. the blizzard warning is in effect until 10 am tomorrow up in sierra. this is worth mentioning. there will be heavy snow and wind with no visibility. 10 feet of snow possible. we will see gusty winds . don't even bother with the tahoe area. kids will be heading to school this morning so bring out the rain gear, take it slow, and we are expecting rain throughout the day today. that rain will get heavier and

the winds will be picking up on and into this evening . this is an inside day for kids. we will talk more about that coming up later. she is in the rain covering some of those flooding conditions in the north bay.>>reporter: it is certainly raining and certainly cold out here. we are watching the temperatures drop out here. here is a live look behind me and that is 101. traffic is starting to slow down considerably in the past couple of minutes. that's rain is steady and coming down hard. take a look at this video. this is a concern in this area. signs are out warning everyone to stay clear of the areas. that park and ride as well as all lucky drive, that area is

very flooded especially on the freeway as you head north. there is also a concern about sinkholes. there is one on lucas valley road and that has it shut down to 2 lanes. there was some school closures yesterday but school is supposed to be open for everyone this tuesday after the closure on monday from flooding. another note as far as traffic is concerned the office of emergency services is on standby this morning. they are ready to respond to any issues from this flooding. thousands of people were out of power over the weekend because of the storms slamming california. crews are also watching novato creek. it is not going down as

some people wanted it to go so that is causing concerns for residents and businesses in the area. back here, 101 by the specific pacific center, traffic is off and on. back to you. i didn't lose power. did you lose power? >> can't talk about it in the middle of the storm.>> tracked the storms this week and be first to know about traffic situations or severe weather. we will keep you updated. >> knocking on glass. and you can't lose power because there is nothing to do with the rain. >> coming up more pollution in the san francisco area, and most if not all are 100% avoidable.

the things that i consume on a daily basis a lot of it is very acidic. the enamel on my teeth was actually weakening. the whiteness wasn't there as much. my teeth didn't look as healthy as others. my dentist said that pronamel would help fight against that erosion that foods and drinks were causing. so it was really important to start using the pronamel. it'll be one less thing you have to worry about. pronamel is now giving me the confidence to know that i'm doing the right thing. so it's nice to know that it's as simple as that.

♪ will come back. i am tracking major delays this morning on highway 24. it is still a hot spot because of an earlier accident. highway 30 teen may be a little closer to broadway there was a

crash that resulted in lanes being blocked. look at that nasty backup. it goes all the way into walnut creek. you are looking at one hour 40 minutes to make that trip into oakland. we will check on other spots coming up. i know your kids have been out for a week. >> mina been watching tv. >> raising a child now cost you nearly a quarter of $1 million for one child. a income for a family will spend to hundred 33,000 dollars. >> until when? college?>> all right so let's take a look at the numbers. the department of agriculture says the cost from birth to age 17. >> college is not included in that.

parents expect to spend 12,000 to 14,000 dollars per year. that is a 3% increase from last year. >> they wear a lot of close and it must be counting electronics. still ahead, we are tracking whether in the weather center. 6:00 and to p.m. rain across the board. in the afternoon hours that rain gets a whole lot more intent. we will have the full forecast in a minute.

welcome back. looking at the weather and traffic with team coverts this morning. >> it is getting better out there. the crash on highway 24 has been cleared that there is a huge backup. it will take over an hour to get into oakland from there.>>

not a huge storm compared to the last one but there are real problems out there. >> the water has nowhere to go. this afternoon we will have possible thunderstorms and the rain could get really intense around 3 pm, just in time for kids to get home from school and to start your commute home. widespread light rain that's where all of the green is. these colors of yellow and orange are small cells of heavy rain. these are isolated downpours from time to time. right along interstate 80 we have berkeley here, kensington just to the north of that, all of these rains are dumping on them right now. there is a river and we got piedmont here. here is the tunnel that robin was talking about where that vehicle spun out and caught

fire. a few light rain is falling your treasure island. off to the east bay we are tracking showers in downtown. more off to the hills you can see more rain. the san mateo bridge as heavy showers and on the peninsula side you see yellow. kind of on both ends of that span with on and off again rain. nothing compared to what this afternoon will look like. after 3 pm it really does intensify and possibilities for thunderstorms on your way home. it will be wet and a little sloppy and could be dangerous. give yourself plenty of time and leave early if possible. when this storm is done it should only take one day. the areas in red are places where

we are expecting higher amounts. mac to, 3, 4 three inches of rain. that could be higher. here is a live look outside. rain is coming down town. you can see the dome we have watches, warnings, and alerts because of this flash flood warning. this lasts until 4 am tomorrow morning. coastal flooding is a possibility. that flood advisory is in effect until noon today and that covers the high tide. the app normally high tide will be in effect today. combine that with all of this rain and we are looking for low- lying bayshore having standing water. there is a high wind watch and

an advisory warning in effect until midnight. when will really ramp up -- winds will really ramp up . it will be a blustery afternoon and that is when we will see our heaviest rain. with this system we could get a little second round wednesday into thursday before finally clearing out of the area. friday and beyond we actually look good. the weekend is really the light at the end of the tunnel. get through these storms and we will have a nice sunny friday and finally a dryer weekend. we could use that on the roads for sure. >> i am looking forward to friday and so are our commuters. highway 24 w. is your worst commute right now thanks to

that earlier crash. the other crash is out of the way but the traffic is still there. there is a nasty backup through the tunnel from walnut creek. here is an overturn in sycamore valley. they did not issue a traffic alert for this because they hope to have it removed shortly. it is not causing a major delay. as i zoom out you can see moderate slowing there, not a bad trip and it's 21 minutes from dublin out to concorde. it is wet and crowded at the bay bridge into san francisco. it is still backed up to west grand and is under a high wind advisory. checking in on the richmond center bridge, we are starting to see a backup here. don't forget your headlights and wipers.

13 minutes is your drive time. yesterday throughout the morning commute into the evening hours, we were telling you about the closure of seven teen and it reopened approximately one hour ago. eight you may see crews still on scene doing some cleanup work but at least you can get through. storms have been hitting the bay area and creating major problems with down the street trees and power lines. the and people behaving badly he shows us of what's being caused by the storm.>> big storms. bring big problems. like some of the problems which occur are avoidable. let's use this as an example. it's a zoo and it sits right next to highway 101. right after a storm it becomes rich with something else.

anything and everything we discard along the roads and the freeway. most of the drains go directly into the bay. that permits flooding with one tiny flaw. everything on the ground will end up in the san francisco bay. including things that are toxic. look at the water, it's nasty and waiting for the next rain. as water flows -- flows into the zoo, tennis balls and other miscellaneous things end up here. despite the fact that it just rained things continue to wash up. when it is gone, you can see all of the trash that is left. there is a homeless encampment near the water to. people tossing garbage onto the

sidewalk and there cars not thinking about results. next time please think that not all of it gets cleaned up some of it ends up in the san francisco bay. and that is bad. here on wall street the dow's quest for 20,000 had some pullback for the next few days. president-elect donald trump already voicing his opinion on it meryl streep's golden globe speech. we will hear how the white house is responding. the snow doesn't keep this swim team from missing practice, we will show you more about this coming up. a live look at san francisco with wet rain and widespread rain across the area.
