pretty good rainfall along highway 101, still over sonoma, napa, vallejo, some areas picking up 0.2 in the last six hours. mount st. helena has picked up an inch. this is great news. of course not the best day to be outdoors. napa, along highway 29, you may find it a little troublesome. a little hazardous if you do have an early morning drive, this to be aware of. i do expect a lot of soccer and baseball games will be canceled for the morning hours at the very least. along the east bay, along i-80, it is a wet commute, from hercules through berkeley, emeryville, oakland, light rain. looks like it's stretching into around orinda t you may have light rain outside your door and along the peninsula, bay bridge, golden gate, crossing into san francisco, through daly city, light rain. again, just a very light rain at this point, but it will pick up over the course of the next hour or so because this system, a nice, distinct band over the north bay and rolling through

the central bay and then down into the south bay. i think it's going to take until about 11:00, maybe even noon time before san jose begins to see some very moderate, maybe even heavy rain at times. here's a snapshot of what i do expect for today. anywhere from a quarter inch for the san jose, south bay area, half inch or so for the central bay, more like an inch for the north bay and more than that expected for the hills. the steady rain, going to come between now and noon as it moves its way through. then we'll be left with scattered showers for your afternoon. i'll track it for you on the future cast model. also, a winter storm warning for the sierra as snow continues to fall there. i'll have a look at what's happening in the sierra, a look at temperatures for today, coming up. well, as rosemary just said, it is time to get out your umbrellas. a new spring storm is bringing the rain across the bay area. christien kafton is standing in all that wet weather, joining us live from san francisco. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's been a while since i've had to break out the hat and the rain coat and all that stuff. it's pretty welcome, a nice

sight. we're here at the farmers market in san francisco at the ferry building. for a lot of the farmers here, they definitely say this rain is a welcome sight. now, today's rain is part of a band of storms that, if you remember, kind of rolled into the bay area on tuesday. that really opened the door to a series of storms. today, tomorrow are expected to deliver the greatest rain totals. now, as we've been saying, a lot of the farmers here say the rain is definitely welcome. they want to see the rain in what they say has been a very topsy-turvy weather year. >> our winter crops bolt. they go into flower mode and we lose the crops. it should be wintertime. it's been spring and winter. now it's winter and spring. >> reporter: with the statewide drought, any rain obviously is a very welcome sight. we're hearing that this storm could deliver up to 3 inches in the north bay. still, it's just a drop in the bucket. for example, san francisco is at about 42% of its rainfall total for the year, so they

would need 12 inches of rain here in san francisco to make an average year. one final note, we are hearing the rain is starting to result in some minor cancellations. we just got an e-mail from the department of emergency services for san francisco and the tsunami walk that had been planned for today has now been canceled. we're live in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu channel 2news. well, some people in southern california are waking up to damage caused by a strong earthquake. the 5.1-magnitude quake hit just after 9:00 last night and was centered near barea in orange county. the quake knocked items off store shelves, as you see there, and did cause scattered power outages to about 2000 homes. it happened about an hour after a magnitude 3.6 quake hit the same area. the quake was felt as far south as san diego and as far north as ventura county. >> pretty intense. i was sitting in a car waiting in a parking lot and the car started shaking side to side. i felt like the car was going to flip over. >> right after the quake hit,

there were water main and gas main leaks in the area. dozens of after shocks were reported throughout the night. there are no reports of any major injuries. the earthquake triggered a rock slide that triggered a car crash in orange county not far from where the quake was centered. the entire roadway ended up covered with rocks, then a car hit the rocks and overturned. the people inside the vehicle were able to get out and were not seriously hurt. >> it's still going, still going a little bit. >> earthquake! >> i felt it. >> a baseball fan at dodgers stadium shot this video right after the earthquake and posted it on youtube. the quake hit during the 6th inning of last night's dodgers game, in which they won 5-4 in 10. today, an east bay marine will be remembered. 23-year-old marine andrew silva was riding a motorcycle early tuesday morning in fremont when he was hit by a suspected drunk driver. a memorial now sits at that

for the good of the state legislature and the democratic party. >> the people of san francisco and this area have treated him with great respect. i think out of that respect, he should step aside. >> yee's attorney released a statement which partially reads suspension is the right step for now and is appropriate in a system that presumes the innocence of the accused. 26 people were arrested in the federal investigation. 18 of them appeared in a san francisco court yesterday to determine if they needed court- appointed attorneys. defendants included raymond chow, the former chinatown gangster with suspected ties to leland yee. former san francisco school board member, and alleged associate of chow, who says the public should not jump to conclusions. >> the charges read like something out of a big crime movie, but when you learn the facts and really separate them

out as to what's important, it usually turns out to be something less dramatic. >> accusations against some of the defendants include murder for hire, gun and drug trafficking and the sale of fraudulent credit cards. yee faces federal weapons and corruption charges. he is due back in court on monday. a roller coaster of emotions today for family members of passengers aboard the missing malaysian airliner. government officials this morning offered them a sliver of hope. earlier in the week, officials announced that the aircraft went into the indian ocean and that all lives were lost. but in this morning's news briefing, the acting transport minister said that despite great odds, they are still holding out hope they will be able to find survivors. >> the best we can do is pray and that we are sensitive to them, that as long as there is even a remote chance of a survivor, we will do whatever it takes. >> however, today's search for the plane ended newspaper more disappointment. about 90 minutes ago, chinese

state media announced that several objects found in the search zone were just garbage in the ocean and not from the missing plane. hundreds of seasonal firefighters are now being hired in preparation for what could be a long fire season in california. dry conditions and limited water supply could mean an increase in wildfires across the state. calfire says so far this year, there have been more than 800 wildfires statewide. there are usually fewer than 300 this time of year. some of the seasonal hires will start work on monday. opening day on monday also for the a's and giants. giants on the road. let's turn to rosemary, because oakland opens at home. it's a night game. no pressure, sunshine or not? >> i wish. >> i wish. so we will have rain? >> we will have another storm coming our way. we've got one today, happening right now. getting into sunday, we'll dry out. we have another storm coming in on monday. i'm going to show you that coming up in a moment, but first, let's take care of today. a live look over the oakland estuary, where it is cloudy, a

day. there is a winter storm warning that will last until tomorrow morning. if you're driving up, be prepared for this. before i go, i want to show you a look at some of the rainfall totals we're expecting with today's system. anywhere from a quarter inch to an inch. farther north you go, the more you're going to get. about an inch and a half over the coastal hills and we may even see more than that. we'll have to see how it all goes by the end of the day. mark tamayo will have the very latest a little bit later today. meanwhile, we're dry inside. christien kafton is in the middle of some of those large downpours this morning. let's go live to him downtown. >> reporter: not much of a downpour right now. we're seeing a nice, steady rain here at the farmers market, near the ferry building in san francisco, right on the embarcadero. folks still coming out this morning, not a whole lot of people like you would expect to see on a saturday morning. the rain certainly keeping some people away. but the rain also definitely a welcome sight for a lot of the farmers here that produce the groceries and the produce that we see out here. this is part of a band of storms that moved in earlier

this week. storms rolled in on tuesday and it really opened the door for these series of storms, today, tomorrow, as rosemary has been explaining, expected to deliver some pretty sizable rain totals. it's definitely a welcome sight for farmers who say they want to see the rain. they tell me they don't want to see too much too fast. >> the rain's not going to be too heavy, which can cause damage, especially at this point. if you've got fruit trees, you don't want rain that's really, really hard, especially not for the young fruit and anything that's in bloom. >> so you want water, but not too much. >> right. we wanted water months ago! >> reporter: yeah, so the department of emergency management here in san francisco has already canceled one event, the tsunami walk that had been planned for today. the rainy weather just made that untenable today, so they decided to cancel that for today. the trout that we've had this year of course means that any

rain that we see is welcome and this storm could deliver as much as 3 inches of rain to the north bay. certainly that is a welcome sight. but it's still really just a drop in the proverbial drought bucket. just to give you an example, here in san francisco rain right now, we stand at about 42% of our annual average. it would take 12-inches, a full foot of rain by july for san francisco to come up to its annual average. so like we've said, any rain, welcome. it's just not enough so far. we're live here in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu channel 2news. new this morning, sheriff deputies in contra costa county are still trying to figure out if weather or speed were factors in an early morning crash. the driver of this honda crashed into this house on hilltop drive and renfro road just before 6:00 this morning. this new video shows where the car ended up. the accident also knocked down a 50-foot section of a chain link fence. the man was air lifted to the hospital. authorities have not released
