with even another storm coming after that. flooding concerns today because of the cumulative effect of all the rain off and on again. and there's a high surf advisory in effect until sunday at 04:00am flood alerts that are in sonoma county, right? and a standard rosa and rohnert park during bill for u.s.. bill cotati mark field. wiki up great and sub asked to pull those are areas with those flooding concerns with his son and a warning. that means it's actually happening or it's imminent. so this is a a big concern in the low lying areas, especially the areas around the creeks, areas that don't drain. well, flooding cpncerns. colgan creek near sebastopol reported moderate flooding today. so that is a concern. but that warning expires 2.30, this afternoon. a high surf advisory is in effect and this is pushing big breakers right across across water's edge. 20 to 30 foot waves. and that is a concern for coastal erosion. beach

erosion and you don't want to be on the beaches at that point because those waves could just come out of nowhere. sneaker waves could come and hit the jetties on the rocks and even the pairs. so you don't want to go there in terms of where we go from here. here's the forecast model. we start out with some rain and then we cleared out a little bit only to get replaced again by some more rain overnight tonight into tomorrow. and again, more rain heading in our direction and will shut its gone. sunday night. looks dry. and that is the beginning of a drying trend. a ridge builds in. you can see the clockwise circulation and that is a like a big mountain that keeps the storms from heading toward us. instead is a start to try to head toward deflecting, go right up to our north. how about rainfall totals starting today in 2 sunday? well, we got a lot up in your weekend, mendocino not so much as we start to head towards san francisco at 4 tenths of an inch highs today. a lot like they are right now. 40's 50's

and 60's. that is and the 7 day forecast shows scattered showers really today, tomorrow, sunday with some some breaks in it. but then monday, look at the sunshine. it is dry for the rest of the week. in fact, it's going to be dry for the rest of the year. and for the start of the new year made back to you for news. all right. let's get a look at the morning commute. slick and wet out there. i would take your time if you're traveling. 8 minutes on the bay bridge, san mateo bridge about 15 while richmond center fell sits at 7. >> and the golden gate bridge 20 minutes. it is the last week of the year. can you believe it? holiday celebrations are still underway. innings. lot of decorations and flammable materials, our around our living spaces. so yesterday on the show, john travel and i talked with lieutenant mariano elias junior, he's at the same the fire department about how to protect you and your family years. that conversation. >> marciano, did you respond to it? a lot of home fires

this holiday season. good morning. thanks for having me. fortunately, school did not have a ton fires. there was a fire yesterday and also, unfortunately, a vehicle far that someone cares while driving. so are quite a bit of fires that go on during this holiday season. plus, why this message that you're giving us this morning is so important. okay. let's talk about the main causes of home fires during the season. so quite a bit fires do start through electrical. problems. some of those things are overloading outlets and putting too many plug-in devices into the alice, depending on where you live in the age of the whole. of course, they're still has a lot of older homes and some of the wiring may be old or something to be aware if using power strip that's recommended. but it also is

recommended to use a strip that is certified through agency similar to underwriters laboratories. another problem that we see is christmas lights that have frayed electrical cords. so all the wiring, maybe exposer cut up a free. so one thing we do ask folks to do is to just take a look at wearing when you put before you put it away that way, you will see that it's damage they should discard them. you know, be aware of not putting, for example, christmas tree near a heat source. so some of those sources could be a space heater. we recommend putting space heaters at least 5 feet away from the area. you, for example, going to be sleeping near or near christmas tree and then the tree. if you going to have one national tree that is keep it away from the fireplace. so those catch on fire very quickly. we were talking a little bit about

christmas trees causing those electrical problems in the fact that at this point, some people's christmas trees are a little dry it out. is there any sort of recommendations that you have for? >> making sure people can make those trees last as long as possible. yes, so the recommendation is toamake sure to water your tree daily. >> but we do say about this time of year, even going into the new year, they're starting to dry up big been out for quite a while. and we check with your local garbage company to see if they have a recycling program. sometimes the boy scouts of america offer recycling services as so you have to check with your garbage company to remove it out of your home. we ask that just keep it away from any heat source and then water. it daily continually. all right. so i'm wondering if we're pretty gutting ready for the holidays, what sort of maintenance needs to be done on your home? >> what should i be checking to make sure that i can lower the fire risk?

>> but another problem we ducey's is cooking. we have family gatherings. we see that folks are cooking in their ovens, but and people don't always clean their of so sometimes having drippings, the bottom of your oven can cause fire within compartment. so that's another thing general housekeeping. and then, of course, candles. hanukkah is also going on right now. so any life candles we recommend to either use battery operated candles or to be very vigilant. also with having pets around candles, they can potentially knock them over. so do. a lot of cars are basically accidental with grease fires on the cook top. you do see that the greece does ignite and to have a fire extinguisher available. obviously calling 9-1-1 for a fire emergency and evacuating

the home along with your family. obviously, we do see people trying to fight the fire before calling 9-1-1. and we tried to ask people not to do that. just color want evacuate and close the door. when you leave, preferably to keep the fire getting larger. so there are some things you can do. we ask people just be aware. some general housekeeping tips we want people to be safe at home. lieutenant now that we've made it through christmas, i'm sure you're protocols going to change a little bit as we approach new year's eve a whole new set of fire risks for that next holiday. >> yes, we do see some emergencies regarding fireworks and a large gatherings. so once against general awareness where you are, you know, basically travel, right? you have your medications with you. if you are taking any, you know, we're exits and on where

you're at, what kind of establishment are you visiting? so q a the building and that's what we want people to do is to it to basically save their own lives if they can. and that's the most important thing is is their own lights. >> well, lieutenant, i know we all appreciate all the work that you san francisco fire do this time of year. a personal note, the fire looked awesome with those christmas lights this year. just wanted to say that. >> yeah, thanks for having us. and of course, we want to spread the holiday spirit and chair and want to participate and just show that fire stations are part of the neighborhood and how we can connect with the community doing that decoration contest. all right. lieutenant, thank you so much for joining us
