we've had light rain. two systems one today and a flash flood watch. there's no doubt about it, verifying the advance of this system. it's pushing in towards us and it's been delayed. ralph to the south might be less. the system as it comes closer that is funneling in. it picks up big time, up towards here at fort bragg and it's approaching to two inches of rain. it's been pouring in crescent city. if it gets here we have the potential for heavy rain. the heaviest rain will be to the north. it's really mild. 60s are the temperatures. you can see the clouds flying by due to a robust south southeast breeze with 20 to 25 miles per hour gusts for some mountain view 21, sfo

southeast, and hayward 30. it will be more late morning and early morning. for the morning it's a wind event more than anything else. the rain comes in later on today, mild temperatures here, it's not a cold system. the sunday system looks better than this one. that will have cold air with a few upper 60s. on the bridges it could be dicey as well. >> i want to make sure people know if you're listening and watching in campbell, the 91 system has gone back up. the police tweeted about that. campbell police says everything is back and running as normal. if you're in campbell and you should use that 911 system. it's working properly and there are no problems with it. all right. let's go out and take a look at the commute here as we look at the bay bridge toll plaza. it's jampacked get nothing san francisco. there are no major problems on the bridge itself. the traffic is okay in san

sure you're putting out your storm drains, cleaning them out, and make sure your gutters are clean, that is what causes problems. >> many fire station also have sandbags available for homeowners for people who want to protect their homes from flooding once the rains get heavier. along with the concerns about flooding, there is the high winds to worry about as well. that could bring down trees if that area and power lines as well. we have seen one outage out of the south bay, there's concern for power outages up here in the north bay. you can see a ton of sandbags outside of this hair salon. most businesses on healdsburg avenue, they're prepared and ready to go as heavy rain is expected to arrive here later on today. >> ate lot of people don't want a repeat in december where there is significant flooding there. >> the time is 7:06. our weather team is tracking the storm.

health center when a man pulled her into the bushes near the trash bins and he pressed a sharp object into her side and groped her. the person saw the attacker earlier in the incident. we talked with students earlier and they're changing their regimes because of the attack. >> i will felt safe on campus, it's threatening that something like that happened on campus and it could have been me or one of my friends. >> i want to carry around one of those little pink pepper sprays. i'll make sure i have that in my hand and not listen to music and be more away. >> investigators say they saw the man sitting outside of the table before the attack. the only description of the suspect so far is that he is in his late 20s, about 5-foot 7, and he wore a gray hoodie and

blue jeans. we take it out here live, we're between the science center and hensel hall not too far from burk hall. earlier it was dark out this. university police are warning staff and students if they're remaining late on campus take advantage of the police escorts that are available throughout the night. >> thank you brian flores in san francisco. a man who won the pleasanton american little league is behind bars facing embezzlement charges. they arrested jeremy cadero after a month long investigation. they say he took $20,000 from the little league's bank account and he used most of the money for a family vacation to disneyland. he tried to repay the league and it bounced leading to a

this picture was stopped by another customer and the target workers found that the 17-year- old was nervous going on a job interview and they taught him how to answer questions and the handshake and they cheered him on. they don't know how he did, if he did well. >> i love that story. >> it takes a village to step out and help a young person. >> our time is 7:17. hey sal you have a big traffic problem to tell us about? >> yes, in oakland, in oakland, this would be 580, on one spot, or near one spot, there's an overturn injury accident, eastbound i-80, there's police activity in the general area. it's a good area to avoid in both directions. they have medics and police out

this. they have just a whole bunch of things on the freeway. the important thing for you to know is 580 is not a great alternate. it's backed up to highway 13. the best thing to do is use 880. we have a live picture of it for you. it's rare, i would tell you to go down to 880, instead of using 580. let's look at 880 in oakland, it's not bad driving up to downtown. just drive down the hull all the way down, high street goes down there, and it's heading to the bay bridge. when you get to the bay bridge, the traffic is backed up for a 20 to 25 minute delay before you make it on to san francisco. we will keep monitoring the activity on 580. it's 7:18, let's go to steve in the weather center. >> it's cloudy and windy for most here. i want to thank everyone up there, it's ripping and roaring from fort bragg. and yet over the bay area it's

a warm morning. the wind is a big factor, but the rain is punching in the marin county coast. there's a strong southeast wind, for most but not for all. most of the reports coming in things are rocking here. wind advisory is out gusts of over 50 is possible. if you can get this system to arrive, the combination of wind and rain could be ferocious. you can see the system, it's still inching closer to us. for most of the morning commute we survived it. with an inch of rain, it will not produce as much rain as we originally thought. to the north that's not a problem. if you can get in on that rain band from fort bragg, to the coast, point north, it has been dumping big time. not as much over in lake county. the window is cranked up there and the wind has been a big

factor. honey dew, it's had 7 inches of rain. you can see the line finally inching in as we get closer to home. we'll keep an eye on that if that picks up. south of that it's mild and warm and 60s on the temperatures. it's southeast breeze and it's roaring. most of santa clara but in the all. oakland 21 and it had up to 33 miles per hour. redwood shore, they're reporting blustery conditions over at sfo, and hayward airport 30 miles per hour. the back edge of this is just kind of -- it's lifting north, we kind of have to wait for this to get here. to the south, some of these temperatures are just really warming up. truckee is 48 degrees. sacramento is 68 degrees. the wind is just crazy up here and it's 52. you're up at 7100 feet and it's

52 degrees. the system is getting close and we may not get as much rain in the south as we originally fault. if you're in that rain shield it's pouring. the first system and the second system will be on sunday. there will be rain carrying over on saturday as well. the rain will pick up later on. most of the morning commute we survived without rain but the evening commute looks dicey with rain moving in. cloudy with wind most of the day. and highs are very mild. it's not a cold system, it's a warm system. 60s on the temperatures. some breaks on the clouds and you may want to take a run began for it. we'll have a couple of hours before the rain moves in especially to the east and south. another system sunday into monday and things will calm down tuesday. >> okay. it's kind of interesting how this is changing, you're tweaking it a little bit. >> it's been my fear all day long. if you're in that rain, it's a

big deal. >> okay. thank you, steve. it is 7:21, not his offense, what we learned about a suspect assaulting a little girl in the toy aisle of a store. >> what we know what this man went through and his parents did it to him, there's no excuse for that. they said they wanted to teach their son a lesson about stranger danger. wait until you hear about a plot that has them all facing jail time.

. a san jose man was on a mission to could be serve water in a drought. he may pay thousands of dollars in fines. he replaced the grass in his front lawn with cobble stones. it was all designed to save money. now, the city says he violated a city code and if he doesn't

remove the cobble stones by next month he'll have to pay a fin of $2500 a day. >> i almost passed out, how can you do that? i didn't even know. >> well, the city law says the first 25 feet away from the sidewalk cannot be paved because of parking complaints drivers and other concerns. he's working with the city inspector, but he'll have to probably dig up some of that cobblestone. >> it's 7:25 this morning. police in missouri are saying that a family went too far in trying to teach a 6-year-old boy about stranger danger. the boy's mother, aunt and grandmother hired a man to stage a fake kidnapping because they thought the boy was too nice to strangers. >> the past month, the man lured the child into the truck for a fake kidnapping. >> he started crying again, and

he's never going to see his mom again. >> he tied up the boy with trash bags and put a coat over his head and so he couldn't see and took him to the home and left him in the basement. >> the boy's, he was told he'll be sold as a sex slave. after four hours the boy was untied and lectured about stranger danger. >> the boy told people at the school what happened and they called police. the family members don't think they did anything wrong. all four is in jail and the little boy is in protective custody. a fatal mistake by a wrong- way driver in freemont, and a closure of an east pay highway. we're live where people are

bracing up for the potential storm by using sandbags. >> 580 westbound is really slow and we'll give you alternative routes when we come back. >> the rain is coming down big time. it's windy and warm. we'll talk about the winds of change when we come back.

at 580 and 15, nearby at harrison they were doing an arrest on the freeway, according to the police it's a good area it avoid. the best thing to do is use 880 as an alternate or local roads if you can, stay away from 580 for the tomb being. the bay bridge toll plaza is backed up for a 20, 25 minute delay. there are no problems get nothing san francisco. 280, 101, the santa clara valley has been good, leading to friday light into this region. let's go back to the desk. the storm that steve has been telling you about is raising concerns about flooding in the north bay. tara is live in the north bay and people have sandbags. >> people are coming and filling up. they want to make sure they don't get flooded out. this is a big stack of sandbags that some people from the

windy storm moving into our area. yesterday we saw people busy, they were filling up sandbags and ready to take those sandbags home to protect their homes from flooding. here in the downtown healdsburg area, a lot of business owners are not taking any chance the. they got slammed during the last storm we saw in this area back in december, a lot of these storms saw damage from flooding. we saw by the hardware store, they were able to pick up sandbags and they were expected to go faster in the coming days. >> some people took advantage of that, i imagine tomorrow morning after the rains tonight we'll see a bit more actions. >> and you can also pick up sandbags at many fire stations here in the north bay as well. if you don't already have them. along with the worries about flooding, there's the concern with the high winds that would be associated with the storm that could bring down trees in this area and power lines and the potential for power outages

as we bring you to a live picture outside of this hair salon, they have a ton of sandbags all ready to go. and if you notice they have this tarp laid out and taped up there. they wanted to seal up, you can tell, seal up this front of the business in case waters rise in this area, that the water doesn't make it inside of their business and causes damage. a lot of businesses saw that the last time around in december. >> isn't there a special way to stack the sandbags to make sure the water completely stays out. >> you know, i'll confess i'm in the an expert on the sandbags, i think you get them as close as you can together there and you hope that the water is unable to see through those cracks. but, i think what they did here is probably a good bet, which they just went, they through a ton of sandbags at the front of this place. i think you can't go wrong with a whole lot of them. >> we hope everyone stays dry

there at least on the inside. thank you very much alex. our weather team is tracking the storm. steve will track the time behind for the next hour and stay with us throughout the day as the rain gets stronger. the bay area had two earthquakes this morning on the peninsula. it was a magnitude 3.1 quake. it was centered in redwood city and happened at 3:44 this morning. the second quake magnitude 2.5 happened at 7:00 in the same location. there's no word of damage damage or injuries. new this morning, the right it die debated, a new chapter. in canada, the supreme court struck down a law that banned prohibiting doctors for helping patients to die with dignity. they're going to draft a new

picture of 880 northbound getting to downtown oakland. the rain is come in as we told you. it's going to be a tough bay area commute. if you're driving anywhere to san francisco to san jose you should put that in the pack of your mind. let's go to a live picture of the bay bridge toll plaza it's backed up for a 20-minute day. if you're going to marin county it's been raining, we've been looking at the marin county commute. people are staying off the road because they're anticipating the storm coming in. let's go to the live weather center with the forecast. >> rain is up north. they're getting slammed. and lake county is getting slammed. the system is producing just roaring breeze, especially it looks like elsa, it's blowing sideways. thunder, in the sunset district out in richmond, that was about a half-hour ago, our system though, it just keeps waiting

and waiting main ply if san francisco south. some areas to the south have sunshine and it feels tropical like in hawaii here. it's in the 60s with a southeast breeze of up to 35 miles per hour. fort bragg north has been ridiculous. there are reports of 4 to 7 inches of rain. and there's 4 inches of rain and some areas have had 3 to 4 inches as well. east of santa rosa, now, reports of 61/100ths. he was the man talking about torrential rain. if he's reporting they're getting something. nothing too heavy yet. i know petaluma had pockets of heavy rain. over to hercules and now finally inching in towards richmond, some of the rain getting reports is blowing

sideways over to these areas. south san francisco is not much. we heard for reports over half moon bay it's an angry sky and angry ocean. it's 60s on the temperatures. 63, look at pittsburgh, 64 degrees, we have reports from oakland, windy and warm. they verify that. alamo at 61. it's incredibly warm air. 31 gusts concord, 27 novato, a couple of reports of rain in novato, 40 at san leandro. 49 in tahoe. wait a minute. 49 miles an hour winds and 52 degrees, excuse me. it's 50 for gusts, and 63 in monterrey. this is a warm system. most of the rain is still back here. it's going to move in late

morning early afternoon. for many this morning it's been cloudy and mostly cloudy and windy. areas to the north will be the rain, and will be the focus for the heaviest rain. it will be 60 near 70s. the wind area is out. the wind advisory is the one that's verifying the most so far. another system will carry on on sunday, cooler as well. that goes into monday and the break. >> the evening commute looking ahead. >> i think that will be a mess, i really do. >> prepare yourself. >> exactly. >> thank you. >> you the time is 8:51, it's not your imagination if you think gasoline prices are inching up

. the time is 8:54, gas prices are edging back up again after hitting lows we haven't seen in years. gas prices have risen about a dime in the last week. the nationwide average for a gallon of regular is up to $2.17, the average price in oakland and san jose is $2.57, in san francisco it's $2.69, a third of the country is seeing gas below $2 a gal and that's been good news for travel and tourism. >> gas prices are much more reasonable, it's been great for the travel industry even in the

first quarter winter season. travellers are more easily able to get out now, and head to those close by local destinations. >> prices are rising because productions dropped due to refinery shutdowns and crude oil is stabilizing which could keep a lid on further price drops. here's a feel good story of the day. a teenager in north carolina went to the target to buy a clip on tie. we only sell regular ties. they brought another man over to teach him how to tie t the exceptional service, the kind service didn't stop with that tie. when the target workers found out the young man was going to his first job interview, they gave him a couple of extra tips and extra advice to improve his chances. >> make sure you look him in

the eye and a stern handshake and touch -- tuck your shirt in and lace and polish your shoes. they cheered him and on and he was going to a chick-fil-a to get a job. i don't know if he got it i'm going it say on credit he got it. >> it's 8:56 right now. a family of a seattle sea hawk's fan is blaming the game on the loss. he got sick before the game and didn't see it life on television, he recorded a it and went to bed. he died in his sleep of a heart attack. his family wrote an obituary in the paper. we blame the seahawks for the bad call for his untimely death. it's a joke. they had a good laugh and he

would not have been pleased about the outcome of that game. how is it looking sal? let's check on traffic. >> our first stop will be the bay bridge toll plaza westbound, as you can see traffic is backed up all the way out to the maze and the lights are on, they're driving into san francisco. on 880 it's slow. the camera is shaking up and did you know and to the side because of the heavy wind. driving on 580 light traffic, livermore valley unusual, but we'll take it. it's 8:57 let's go to steve. the wind may be the bigger story in this system. it's producing one rain hardly anything in peninsula or south bay, where it's mostly cloudy windy and warm. it will be to the north, the rain, more so, there are some areas in the north that are getting slammed. here, the sunday system now looks better to me.
