near the flooding is imminent or actually happening right here. sonoma county, santa rosa guernville for us. bill cotati winds are great and sebastien pull the whole deal. colgan creek reported moderate flooding today and that's near sebastopol. so that is the area with the concerns for flooding and that flood warning expires this afternoon at 2.30, along the water's edge. a high surf advisory continues for large breaking waves, 20 to 30 foot waves. now, these are not as big as a monstrous waves. we had earlier this week say last monday. nevertheless, these are very dangerous waves heading in our right toward the coastline, the strongest waves today. they'll start to abate tomorrow. start to abate on saturday before finding the advisory is allowed to expire on sunday morning. series of storms still heading in our direction. here we go.

forecast model friday. well, this morning you see the scattered showers and some snow in the sierra. that happens again overnight tonight into tomorrow. and even another storm on sunday. and then all of a sudden things change. high pressure starts to build in. it's going to be a beautiful start to the workweek and a beautiful end to the year of 2024, look at this. you can see the clockwise flow and the ridging he's pushing. all the storm is way up to the north. so that means we stay dry, although it'll be chilly in some of the inland valleys. but in the meantime, our rainfall totals for norhhern california starting today through sunday. this is cumulative as much as almost 3 inches in eureka. 4 tenths of an inch, though, in san francisco. so it's not that much coming through 4 tenths of an inch there and also down toward then and in the santa cruz mountains about 3 quarters of an inch, which is a rainier spot. forecast highs for today. much like the current temperatures, not

much, but and that is we're not going to have a whole lot of sunshine to really warm up the ground and warm up the atmosphere. so numbers hovering pretty close to 60 everywhere. upper 50's where the warm spots of san jose at 64 degrees. a look ahead shows. some days of rain off again on again all the way through the weekend and then okay. but temperatures drop at the sun comes out and monday, tuesday and on looks absolutely beautiful. but some chilly overnight temperatures. there could be some frost advisories that may go into effect once we head into the early part of the workweek. reyna, back to you for news. alright, slick commute this morning for u.s.. 8 minute ride on our bay bridge. >> are rich with summer feels at 7 san mateo bridge at 15 and the golden gate bridge. 37 of the tolls 20 minutes. last week at the year in the holiday, celebrations are still underway. it's a lot of decorations and flammable materials all around the house. it could lead to fires. so yesterday on the show, john travel and i spoke with lieutenant mariano elias

junior with the san francisco fire department live about how to protect you and your family. here's 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 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 to make 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? >> 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 live 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 for ugly 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 today.
