clearing mud and rocks on southbound highway 101, in marin county. sky fox overhead as a bulldozer was scooping up the rocks and dirt. this was near sausalito. other crew members were picking up limbs from fallen trees. the chp initially responded to a call about mud, trees and rocks that spilled out onto the freeway at about 7:00 this morning. they expect the road will fully reopen by nine tonight. the weekend is getting off to a difficult start for some people in san jose. the penitencia creek overflowing its banks and flooding 16 units at the betty ann apartments there on lundy avenue near berryessa road. affected residents say the apartments management company is paying for cleaning services and hotel rooms for a week, but many say they do not have renter's insurance for their losses. >> we lost important papers, like everything that we had. we had clothes, shoes, everything got lost. >> clothes, shoes, computer, furniture, bed. my reclining

chair, i mean all my other personal stuff. >> that creek is prone to flood during unusually heavy rain. officials say they plan to discuss the issue during their annual meeting to better prepare for the next rainy season. well, the rain has mostly cleared out, but a high surf warning is still in place along the coast. the national weather service is warning beachgoers to stay off the water. stay out of the water. the conditions have prompted authorities to close the santa cruz wharf. a portion of the pier collapsed back in december because of high surf. visitors we talked with said they enjoyed watching the surf, but at a safe distance. >> i could see for an out of towner, though, being a little disappointed on the wharf because if you've got a couple of kids and you want somewhere to eat, i could kind of see that. but we're more surf people anyway, so we want to come see, like these crazy breaks, right? >> fortunately, today the waves put on a great show but appeared to cause no damage to infrastructure. drying out in time for tomorrow's lunar new year parade, let's bring in our

meteorologist, mark tamayo, for a look at the conditions you can expect on that parade route and through the holiday weekend. >> mark. hi there heather. yeah. lucking out this year with no rain threat for tomorrow evening across the bay area. so just some clouds paying us a visit. but the storm clouds that were really around over the past, well, yesterday especially, have moved on out of town and take a look at these numbers. really adding up boulder creek over six inches of rainfall kentfield over four inches, redwood city three inches. san francisco and oakland both over two inches. that's a pretty impressive storm that moved on out of the bay area. here is your weekend forecast and for your saturday. we'll have some areas of frost tomorrow morning and then still mostly cloudy skies into the afternoon hours sunday. there's the chance of a few scattered showers for the morning hours, but still a lot of cloud cover out there and probably still some clouds as we do move into monday as well. so no major storms to talk about this weekend. just that shower chance sunday morning. here's the satellite, where you can see mostly clear skies over a good portion of the region. so all the clouds from yesterday have

moved on out of town. and right now we do have clear to partly cloudy skies across the region. here is our live camera looking out toward the bay bridge. it looks like traffic is really stacked up heading toward the city for tonight, so no raindrops to worry about tonight, but some cold numbers. so definitely want to bundle up right now. it's 49 degrees in santa rosa. concord is 51, san jose right now 50 degrees. and overnight the frost advisory. we're talking so much about freeze warnings and frost advisories for the month of february, and another one issued up in the north bay valleys and the santa clara county hills tomorrow morning. so that means temperatures obviously starting out today, the cold spots in the 30s. so definitely want to bundle up. we have that chilly start out there. but here's the forecast model. as you can see. we'll put it into motion for you. and we will bring in some cloud cover. so we'll have some fog tomorrow morning in addition to the frost and also some high clouds drifting in from the north. so that's the case for your saturday afternoon. you can see a system up here up along the north coast of california, and that could trigger a few showers. that would be sunday

morning. so as early as maybe midnight saturday into a sunday morning, we could have a few scattered showers across the bay area. that shower threat kind of moves on out of town by sunday afternoon, leaving us still with mostly cloudy skies and then into monday. still some clouds moving into the area. so it's not going to be a completely clear blue sky. sunny weekend, lots of clouds paying us a visit at least over the next three days. highs tomorrow will be after that chilly start in the 50s to right around 60 degrees. here's a look ahead. your five day forecast. we do bring in that shower chance, especially for sunday morning. and then on monday partly cloudy skies. it will be dry on tuesday and then a slight chance of a shower into wednesday. so good news. no major storms to talk about in this five day forecast, but we'll keep an eye on that shower chance first thing sunday morning. >> yeah, chance to enjoy some clear skies. thanks so much, mark. appreciate it. well, some people worry that budget cuts will have a ripple effect on police oversight in oakland. coming up, the potential new challenges from cutbacks and many couples planning their big day for valentine's day, we'll

be filled with an auditor is empty. inspector general von maloof tells us the office's annual operating budget of $2.4 million is expected to be cut in half to about 1.2 million. and if that happens, maloof argues, there will simply be no more police oversight in oakland. >> so we're not at a skeleton crew. we're beyond a skeleton crew. we don't have the staff to do the work that the ordinance requires us to do that the law and that the voters require us to do. >> oakland voters approved a measure in 2020 to create the office of inspector general. as maloof points out, any reduced budget action will be in violation of the city charter. opd did not respond to our request for comment, and the police union declined to comment. a top trump aide is considering running for governor of california next year. if former vice president kamala harris enters the race. richard grenell, who is serving as trump's u.s. envoy for special

fire's air quality impacts and has issued three notices of violation to mrc for violating air district regulations. these notices of violation were issued for creating a public nuisance, for failing to operate equipment as permitted, and for excessive smoke and soot fallout. the air district's investigations are ongoing and the agency will issue further notices of violation for any additional violations uncovered. npr energy releasing this statement to ktvu, saying, quote, mrc did not receive reports of odors prior to the incident when routine work was being done to prepare for planned maintenance. we have no reason to believe the odor complaints made before the fire occurred were related to the incident. all right, valentine's day at city hall, we go to san francisco, where ven the mayor was

i guess what i' m looking for from you is, i mean, i know how the fire affected me, and there's always a constant fear that who's to say something like that won't happen again? that's fair. we committed to underground, 10,000 miles of electric line. you look back at where we were 10 years ago and we are in a completely different place today, and it's because of how we need to care for our communities and our customers. i hope that's true.

it. and they added a scoreboard. in addition to the new gym, the nba also put together about 700 backpacks filled with school supplies for the kids and for every assist in the all star game coming up on sunday, state farm will be donating $1,900 to the boys and girls clubs in both oakland and san francisco. nearly 2000 bay area kids got hands on coaching today at basketball clinics hosted by the junior nba and junior wnba. elementary and middle schoolers from san francisco and from oakland unified school districts were treated like young stars. this happened at the moscone center in san francisco, so they got to run drills and get personal coaching tips from the pros and the kids. you can see they were all smiles telling us how grateful they are for this unique opportunity. >> it's like an amazing experience. just come out and like, learn new things, meet new players and just learn how they take care of themselves.
