times. today's storm is moving from south to north and bringing with it strong and gusty winds. futurecast is predicting the steady rain this morning will turn to showers this afternoon. those scattered showers will linger into the first half of saturday.

looking at the bay area traffic maps and updating drive times. it's early and pretty quite on the roads right now. the wet weather continues around the bay area though and conditions are slick, so be extra careful driving on the roadways this morning. as more rain hits the bay area today... there continues to be more problems

on the roads. a stretch of road connecting fremont and castro valley is shut down this morning... because a 700- pound boulder could come crashing down at any moment. it's happening on palomares road... near niles canyon in alameda county. kron 4's lydia pantazes shows us just how dangerous a situation this has become. this road here behind me is a popular shortcut for people trying to get from alameda county to contra costa county. but tonight it's closed... and will stay that way at least through friday afternoon."you know it's closed, i live off this road."drivers trying to get home.drivers on palomares road in alameda county forced to turn around..."me having to go around right now is going to be easily 40 minutes, 45 minutes to an hour."this is just one of the reasons for the detour.a large boulder held in place by a tree. "there's boulders that are going to come down and that's why we shut it."you can see several other rocks and boulders held in place by other trees and brush."a few of the boulders that are in danger of falling we estimate to be about 700 pounds and if you can imagine a 700 pound object falling from about 40-feet on top of a car or bicyclist that's pretty dangerous."you can see at least a dozen large dents in the ground in fact these large dents in the ground where rocks have already fallen.

"this whole face right here is likely going to slip."john medlock, the deputy director for maintenance and operations for alameda county says anything from the rain to wind can trigger the rocks to fall. "the reason why we closed it." but despite the closure, people still tried to get through."yeah, sometimes people think a road closed sign or warning applies to everyone but them."but officials with alameda county say turning around... could mean the difference between life and death."i understand they have to take every precaution seriously."alameda county officials are hoping to open at least one lane of the road by tomorrow afternoon. reporting in alameda county, lydia pantazes kron4 news.

and in the south bay... northbound lanes on highway-17 in the santa cruz mountains are still closed this morning. crews are working to clear the mudslide that has blocked the northbound lanes off and on for more than a month. rain and dangerous conditions have delayed that work over the past few weeks. caltrans says there is now a geologist on site to assess when it is too dangerous to work...and when crews can resume. there is still no estimate to when all lanes will be open. and there are concerns that highway 37 in novato could flood again today as more rain hits. crews have been trying to make repairs to the road all week. highway 37- has been prone to flooding this winter... making it a nightmare for commuters in the area.

yesterday crews worked on building a barrier to keep water off of the road way. caltrans has not given an estimate to when that will re-open. people who live near the or-o-ville dam are worried they may have to evacuate again as more rain hits. but state water officials say they are confident a damaged spillway and eroded hillside can withstand the approaching storms. crews identified the three areas where erosion was causing a probelm. they say one area has been fully repaired, while the other parts are 25 percent and 69 percent fixed. earleir this week nearly 200-thousand people were allowed to return home after emergency evacuations were ordered downstream. here in the bay area... the arrival of wet weather means the anderson reservoir near morgan hill could reach capacity this weekend. for the first time in a decade... water is expected to start flowing over the reservoirs spillway. and as kron 4's charles clifford explains...that could lead to

flooding downstream. standupright now i'm standing at the bottom of anderson dam here in santa clara county and behind me is the main outlet for the anderson reservoir and right now the santa clara valley water district has it wide open sending 416 cubic feet of water per second into coyote creek.natsthe district is hoping to drain as much water as possible out of the reservoir before the next big round of storms arrives. as of thursday afternoon, the lake is sitting at about 99.2 percent of full capacity and climbing. the district believes that with the incoming moisture the reservoir will probably hit 100 percent this weekend.when that happens, water will start flowing over anderson's one and only spill way. the added flow into coyote creek will most likely result in flooding. the water district expects low lying areas downstream to see high water. whether flood waters reach any of the thousands of homes and businesses below the dam will depend on how big the incoming

storms are. jeremy kastle and his wife live just below the dam. sotyeah, i worry about it a little bit. that would be a total bummer for the people of morgan hill. we need water but not like that.in addition to possible flooding there is another danger here.sota few years ago, anderson damn was deemed seismically unsafe and the reservoir for safety reasons is suppsed to be kept at a maximum of 68 percent of capacity. right now it's at 99 percent.in the unlikely event that a big earthquake were to hit the area while the reservoir is full, damage to the dam could send a wall of water flooding downstream. kastle says that he and his neighbors are aware of the danger, but admit there's not much they can do about it. sot there's a little buzz going around but people aren't to afraid i guess.standupthe water district says it could take between 4 and 9 weeks to lower the water level back to where it should be. that will also depend on how strong the storms are in the coming days and weeks. in santa clara county, charles clifford kron 4 news. and we will continue to

in the east bay... palomares road near niles canyon is closed this morning in alameda county. that's because a 700 pound boulder could come crashing down at any moment. this is a popular road for commuters traveling from alameda county to contra costa county. several rocks have already fallen and caused damage to the road. crews are hoping to have the boulder removed sometime today. county officials say they are trying to have at least one lane open by this afternoon.

in the south bay... northbound lanes on highway-17 in the santa cruz mountains are still closed this morning. crews are working to clear the mudslide that has blocked the northbound lanes off and on for more than a month. rain and dangerous conditions have delayed that work over the past few weeks. caltrans says there is now a geologist on site to assess when it is too dangerous to work...and when crews can resume. there is still no estimate to when all lanes will be open. highway 37 in novato is still closed and could flood again today as more rain hits. crews have been trying to make repairs to the road all week. highway 37 has closed 3 times in the last 2 months due to flooding... causing a commute headache in the north bay yesterday crews worked on building a barrier to keep water off of the road way. caltrans has not given an estimate to when that road will re-open. highway 37 usually carries forty one thousand vehicles a day

this weekend's rain raising concerns in the south bay where the anderson reservoir is almost at capacity already. we first told you about this story yesterday on the kron 4 morning news. anderson lake is already at more than 99-percent capacity and for the first time in decades water is expected to to start flowing over the reservoirs spillway and that could lead to flooding down stream in coyote creek. water officials say low lying areas in morgan hill along coyote creek will likely see high water levels but whether flood water reaches any homes depends on how big the storms are this weekend. but flooding is not the only concern... a few years ago the anderson dam was determined to be seismically unsafe and officials say the reservoir is only supposed to be kept at 68 percent capacity for safety reasons. water officials say it could take up to 2 months to get the water level back down to where it is

supposed to be. people who live near the oroville dam are worried they may have to evacuate again as more rain hits. but state water officials say they are confident a damaged spillway and eroded hillside can withstand the approaching storms. crews identified the three areas where erosion was causing a problem. they say one area has been fully repaired, while the other parts are 25 percent and 69 percent fixed. earleir this week nearly 200-thousand people were allowed to return home after emergency evacuations were ordered downstream. and we will continue to track the storm hitting the bay area today on air...and online. download the kron four mobile app to stay up to date on possible flooding... and storm-tracker-four radar is always available. the kron four mobile app is free for apple and android. a health scare at a high school in fairfield. one person has contracted tuberculosis... and now hundreds of people will have to be tested.. to make sure the illness has not spread.

labor secretary... to his former national security advisor. reporters asked the president about recent revelations about high-level aides being in contact with russia before he was sworn into office. the president says he will find and potentially prosecute those in the intelligence community who he accuses of leaking information to reporters. the president also announced his plan to roll out another executive order on immigration. earlier this month, a federal court in san francisco put on hold his immigrant-and-refugee travel ban. the president says his new executive order will be tailored specifically to the court's decision. he

plans to sign that order next week. and at that news conference... president trump asked an african- american reporter if she would arrange for him to meet with the congressional black caucus. president trump took a question from reporter april ryan... and she asked whether he planned to meet with african-american lawmakers on capitol hill. take a listen to the exchange. great. in an interview later in the day, the reporter said she would welcome an invite to cover a conversation between the congressional black caucus and president trump. a spokeswoman for the group says they sent the president a letter on january 19th-- inviting him to speak... but they haven't heard back. president trump's aggressive stance on immigration is having an

impact on families here in the bay area. leaders in the immigrant community say their members are now living in fear... including those who are naturalized citizens, kron four spoke with immigration lawyers who say they have been busier than ever the last few weeks. they say that everyday... people are coming to them with new questions as they fear getting kicked out of the country. those fears. the lawyer we spoke with says it has been difficult because she doesn't know the status of president trump's immigration laws right now. we should learn more next week when president trump is expected to announce a new executive order. and thousands of people across the nation... including here in the bay area... stayed home from work in solidarity with immigrants. this is video from a demonstration at san francisco city hall yesterday. "a day without

immigrants" meant restaurants and businesses across the nation closed their doors for the day, and many immigrants refused to spend money. their goal is to show the trump administration just how much the united states relies on them. according to the national restaurant association.... immigrants account for 23- percent of the people employed at restaurants. taking a look at storm- tracker four radar... we'll continue to track the rain after the break. áááábreakáááá
