raising money to repair their dream home. they bought in 2019. i'm just grateful our family is protected that were wall. one unit. >> and we're alive and we're well, we're healthy. we just think everyone has reached out to us. and a host family really appreciates it. we truly do. in vallejo, gayle ong kron. 4 news. >> yeah, there's a lot of rain coming down at that point. looking out at the golden gate bridge right now, things are dry for the moment. >> yeah. and the family wants them to be dry for many yeah. while they try to get that loud and i think what we're going to get a nice stretch of some dry weather kind of unusual january, right? usually get maybe a week or so. this may be about 2 weeks. >> of some dry weather, but we've got one more storm coming that will come later on tonight and tomorrow. some more rain on the way. >> more snow in the high country. of course. a nice snow survey today for much of the sierra nevada southern tier. yeah, a little iffy still, but there's going to be more snow coming. temperatures in around the tahoe area right now. you've got some 30's and

some 40's, but that storm system going to be ramping up. so if you're planning to head there tomorrow, we've got to be careful. you are driving these kind of conditions. a storm system just begin to move in to northern california. by the time it gets his way up in the sierra nevada. you're talking that snow level dropping down to about 5500 feet. so winter storm warnings on the western of the sierra nevada. that means all the passes. if you're driving over 15, 80, yeah, going to be some issues tomorrow. maybe some delays up there expect that as you head throughout the day, that storm system going to be ramping up starting in the morning. but getting going really through the middle of the day in the afternoon. that winter storm warning in effect from 07:00am until 10 o'clock tomorrow night. by the time we had all things up, probably another foot of snow the higher peaks there. so that' some good news. but really the focus of the storms this season so far, really northern california, really a north bay onward. you've seen tremendous amounts of rain and a lot of snow 161% of normal in the northern sierra nevada just a little bit below average in the central. then you get to the southern. i'm actually surprised even have as much as

they do. 75% of normal in the southern sierra nevada get down toward los angeles. boy, they're in a deficit. they've had hardly any rain at all for the season. that's why they continue to deal with some fires. a long-range forecast, though, we've got this storm system coming through. but after that is about it. high pressure builds in. we're going to be talking about unusually warm temperatures, very dry conditions. not as we get in toward next week, well beyond maybe toward the middle of the month. hopefully that rain will come back after that lawrence. the synthetic opioid fentanyl is cheaper than ever easier to find. >> is really responsible for a surge in overdose deaths across the country. and the drug is often called the invisible killer because the victims. don't always even know they're ingesting it. kareen wynter gives us a look at the devastation left behind. >> 2 siblings with an unbreakable bond. 18 year-old tyler gordon and his younger sister, jenna. 16 sailed

through life together. both both loved music and both teens died in the bedroom of their homes in riverside county. 2 separate incidents from fentanyl related overdoses. got on my knees and i i begged pleaded with god begging him to take me instead to please save them. you know. >> and the fact i was in that position twice. you know, it's both of my kids. it's just it's surreal to me reading parents like tammy line, gordon are at the center of a deadly opioid crisis, crushing communities across america. >> line gordon son, tyler, passed away in 2020. he took what he thought was percocet, but it contained fentanyl that tyler purchased on snapchat. 10 months later, her daughter jenna, died after unknowingly taking counterfeit xanax that investigators told line gordon was pure fentanyl. neither one of them men to end up dead. most fentanyl shipments are trafficked into the u.s. from

mexico. this poison, this drug that's coming in from the cartels is out there. >> and you need to be careful because if you get your hands on the wrong stuff, you can die. the drug enforcement administration says seizures of fentanyl, both the powder and pill form are at record levels over the past 2 years. seizures of fentanyl powder nearly doubled with federal agents taking in more than 13,000 kilograms. that's about 30,000 pounds in 2023. as for fentanyl pills, the dea seized more than 79 million of them in 2023. almost triple the amount from 2021. we're taking everything we can off the streets trying to make them safer. but the synthetic opioids, there's just an endless amount of that. just the amount of fentanyl that we find. it's it's it's unbelievable. says 23. we've recovered with 3 million fentanyl pills over 150 kilos of powder, fentanyl and my family. that's enough fentanyl to kill the entire state of california. the sheriff's department overdose response task force works with the feds on prosecutions that carries a stiffer sentence. so it's a phenomenal the turn. >> we have over 27 cases in

various stages of federal prosecution currently and all those individuals are looking at a 20 mandatory minimum, every drug seizure, every arrest. every conviction is saving lives. but for those didn't get the help in time like tyler and jennifer gordon, they're mom also has a powerful message to spare other families. the heartbreak don't ever assume you're except fentanyl does not discriminate. talk here. kids educate them. what fentanyl is. >> tell him that you're scared that you're going to lose them because the stuff is so dangerous. you that >> happening tomorrow, republican lawmakers are going to hold an election for a new house speaker as our washington correspondent hannah brandt reports, things could get messy. >> with the house poised to choose a leader on friday, current speaker mike johnson has president elect trump's support. he's a good man is a very and that's what you need. that endorsement is powerful among republican lawmakers but their majority in the house is

slim. so johnson needs almost every republican vote and he told fox and friends he's well aware that it's a numbers game with the smallest margin. >> in u.s., history will have a margin of probably 2 votes tomorrow during that. so can only afford to lose one or 2. >> but i think we'll get it done. it. one of the votes in doubt is congressman chip roy, who next he's undecided about speaker johnson because of disagreements over how he's led the caucus. but johnson argues he's got a plan to implement trump agenda and he's urging republicans to get behind him. we cannot afford pallister. ahmed here. we've got to get the congress started, which begins tomorrow and we have to get immediately to work. if a few republicans do decide to oppose johnson, it could take multiple rounds of voting to pick a speaker. but it's unclear who else would be able to get enough votes to secure the top spot. and the incoming president says he'll work to rally repu licans for johnson needed and they want get >> is that what they can win right now? people most everybody in washington. i'm hannah brandt. spoke today.

gender of judges can hurt public perception of the judiciary in jax that the degree of any allergy york politics. >> into the law that i think. >> it's very dangerous. budgeting says the number of confirmations shows the power of a unified senate and white house democrats demonstrated. >> determined. partnership between the president and the senate and the senate judiciary committee can accomplish great deal. when president-elect trump takes office, he'll have an opportunity to appoint and have confirmed roughly 200 judges assuming 40 to 50 vacancies a year. >> shipping says when combined with his first term that could be more than 430, far more than any single president in american history. in washington. i'm maddie beer-temple. >> preparations are ramped up in plains, georgia, following the death of former president jimmy carter. this small town only had a population of 400 people mr. carter was growing
