i'm claudine wong. >> good morning, i'm mike mibach. round 2 of this wet weekend. let's say hello to rosemary and dive right into it. good morning. >> good morning to you. yes, and the soaking continues. you saw john fowler there. flash flood watch for the entire north bay. i'll zoom in a little closer and show you. it's from the coast across the valleys and into the hills until 3:00 this afternoon. coming up i'll show you some of the 48-hour totals of rain and quite impressive. it will be easy to see why this flash flood watch is in place. we have the radar up and running. we have a steady stream of moisture moving over the north bay, most of us seeing a bit of a break at this time, but some of these heavier cells in and along the coast stretching from more beach through san rafael. you can see we've got some moderate rain falling over hercules and the pinole area. we are in the final stretch but one more day. it could be heavy at times. . a 701 on storm watch this morning, there are weather

alerts throughout the bay area as rosemary just mentioned. the north bay is under a flash flood watch and there's a hazardous weather outlook for the rest of the region. ktvu's john fowler is live in novato under a heavy downpour this morning, john getting drenched for us out there. >> that's absolutely right. i'll show you why we're going to have that flash flood watch through the day. it's been really coming down solid. we drove north from the greater bay area. we're now in novato, and the rain has fallen very hard the whole morning. now on the highways and in the roadways, not so much of a problem. a handful of spinouts and some standing water and n -- in some places but the roads we've been on have been pretty much clear. i want to show you what this is really all about. right now the soil in the north bay is super saturated. this is what they're worried, as this soil gets more and more water in it, it was able to hold less and therefore more

will run off, and right now they're concerned about small streams that are in urban areas where people may be not too wise about the recent floods because we haven't had this much rain in months, so right now most of the emergency crews are concerned about the minor -- the minor flooding in the localized streams getting worse. we're going to head up north and show you more in the next hour about the russian river where flows have come up. there will be about 200 times more water in that river the next 24 hours than they've seen over the last several weeks. we'll take a look at that. we'll bring that to you then. john fowler live in novato. back to you. thank you. we'll look forward to that journey. the city of napa is distributing sandbags to residents. the bags were available through the night as the parking lot of the baseball field at 1st street and freeway drive.

bridge is leaking. you are taking a live look at that new span this morning, a wet and soggy mornings a the rain continues to fall. caltrans says all that rain water is seeping through the $6.4 billion structure which is supposed to be watertight. an engineer told the paper the leak could cause corrosion which could cause it to weaken. caltrans says it has a team of engineers and inspectors analyzing the situation. the weather is also causing problems in the air. anyone flying in or out of the san francisco international airport should expect delays. some flights are delayed up to three hours, and if you are flying today, it's always a good idea to check the status of your flight before you head out to the airport. this morning the weather has so far caused eleven cancellations. yesterday 59 flights were canceled. other flights were delayed an hour and a half. a winter storm warning is in effect for the sierra today. it's scheduled to last until 4:00 tomorrow morning. i want to show you a live picture if we have it of

because you have to like forge your own trail, but it's good. . >> the drive up was relatively clear but chains were required at the top of the pass. the melting snow left chain control spots under water. the sudden return of winter was putting people like norm sailor back to work. >> this will put us on the map again. we've had a decent year but this is really going to put us over the hump. >> resorts say they're finally able to open areas of the mountains that have been off limits because of the drought all season. >> and that was kevin oliver reporting, and looking at those images makes me think that president's day weekend should be a good one coming up. >> people have been hoping for that. you have to wait for the snow to actually stop so you can actually enjoy it. yeah, rosemary joining us now to give us an idea of when we actually can enjoy that without being pummeled by the storm. >> right and because it was a warmer storm, those snow levels

really went up high, and some areas were getting a mix of rain and snow, so it was a little dangerous up there. that is some great news. giving you a live look at the soggy start over the oakland estuary this morning where we continue with plenty of gray sky. on to the radar where the north bay continues to see that rain stream on through just no let up for the north bay. you can see the rest of the bay area perhaps a little bit of drizzle out there. a few light scattered showers. we had some roll through earlier this morning. perhaps it woke you up. but it has since moved on. this is where we're seeing a few heavier cells still from san rafael into richmond, in fact crossing over the bridge could be quite tricky and sleep reat slippery at this hour. in addition to the wet weather we have the breezy conditions. along highway 4 the hercules area we have few light to moderate cells working their way towards martinez in the next 10 minutes or so.

this is the russian river. now i'll tell you that three days ago you could walk across this river without getting your shoes wet. right now the flows have dramatically come up. this is one of the things that has concerned the people in the north bay that we're getting a lot of runoff. now this is also very good news for the drought because this river is the key for the 1500 square miles of watershed responsible for the water for 600,000 people in the north bay. this is the best thing they've seen yet this winter. now what this means is this water will come up, and the wells that are not far from this river will then be charged through the aqua furs, through the under ground aqua furs, once that water comes up the rest of the watershed will get wet and that means that that water will be available to the people who draw it from wells.

as you can see, the river is flowing strongly now. they expect it to continue to come up because as more and more rain falls, it takes hours for it to come down the watershed through the tributaries and end up in this river. where i'm standing now will be under water probably tomorrow. reporting live on the russian river in hillsburg, john fowler ktvu channel 2 news. thank you the. the rain caused a 40-foot landslide west of guerneville, fort ross road is now impassable. public works tells us it will take weeks to fix this road. a storm culvert was clogged with debris. the culvert overflowed which eroded the ground and collapsed the road. the city of napa is distributing sandbags to residents. those bags were available through the night at a parking lot of baseball field at #st street and freeway drive. a flash flood watch in effect. emergency personnel say they are monitoring those creeks and rivers just to make sure they

term stability. earlier this year you will recall bridge officials faced a lot of criticism and scrutiny for problems with the bridge's bolts. some are wondering, first the bolts, now leaks, what could be next? but gordon says that if these leaks had gone unnoticed, it would have been an issue long- term, but he says again because caltrans does routine maintenance checks, they were able to find out about these leaks ahead of time and fix the problem. again, they're going to be sending a team of engineers to the eastern span of the bay bridge later on this morning to get working on that. live at treasure island, allie rasmus, ktvu 2 news. some of the heaviest rainfall over the last few days has been in the east bay. this is a photo of the section of the expressway closed between stoney point and rancho verde due to flooding. in san rafael flooding kept employees at this gym busy. the place got flooded and the runoff was too much for the
