speaking of wind that's been the store from fort bragg onward.s heavy rain, points north there has been reports of two to three inches of rain. mostly cloudy and windy. a couple of sun breaks as our system finally makes it. the east bay peninsula, south bay, it will get to the morning commute, things are falling apart fast. 63 sfo, 60s for many. even the higher elevations in the 50s here. 62 sunnyvale. the wind is incredibly warm. they're coming out of the south and southeast, especially higher elevations and on the coast. it's roaring right along. it's at the hayward airport. it's on the hay ward side, watch out. our system will swing in. it will be darker colder tops. they're favoring areas to the north. there will be lesser amounts to the south. we'll get to the rain and some and there are reports of 60s in the mother lode. it's crazy, thank you kelly for that information. that he is at 7100 feet. that this is a warm system. rain is moving into the north bay. two systems, actually two and a half, the one that's coming in new. there will be a c

you can see here on the radar some of those showers approaching towards fort bragg. the rainfall rates will be picking up as we head into friday as that system spreads from the north to the south. a flood watch posted. up in the north bay we have amounts ranging from 5 to 8 inches. winds will be an issue as well right around 50 miles per hour. already prepped is this, a flash flood watch beginning this evening right on through friday. that is extending towards the county as well. if you're not up in the north bay throughout the day on friday we'll have heavy rainfall spreading to the south. we'll track that rainfall and talk more about that second system that will impact part of your weekend. >> all right. thank you. >>> with the rain on the way residents are already getting ready. tara will show us the rush for sandbags. >> reporter: jack is filling 18 sandbags. with up to 6 inches he want to make sure his offices don't flood. >> when the river overflows it backs all of the storm drains up. >> reporter: they dumped 22-ton of and this morning. there are a couple of t

host: we will go to the home of fort bragg. larry is on the phone. go ahead. caller: i have two issues with the commission's findings here. i'm also retired military. the big issue when they did their survey is dealing with retirement pay. i find it kind of odd that they surveyed active duty people to find out if they like this new proposal 40%. if you are already grandfathered, who will want to get into something like that to begin with? they are speaking on behalf of the people who might want to come into the military. the other thing is with a tricare. i don't know who they solicited their information from but from my perspective leave it alone. it works for me, and i'm sure it works for many other people. thanks for your time. host: late in that hearing there was discussion about what parts of the plan would be grandfathered in, what parts would take effect immediately. the health care changes would not be grandfathered. retirement changes would. all of the 15 recommendations by the commission would require approval by the congress. jimmy is in winston-sal

we've had light rain towards eureka, crescent city and fort bragg. not a lot but they are on the southern edge of that. 42 napa. 56 sfo. there's some that are cool. some are on the mild side even though we're getting that breeze picking up. 14 out of the west. novato west, west fairfield. there is a lot for the sierra nevada. winter weather advisory starts this afternoon. sooner you go the -- bet the better. the wind picks up. already seeing upper 50s and 60s. not the upper 60s and 70s. >>> sal, we had a couple of issues earlier. how are things now? >> trouble in san jose, northbound 280. the traffic is very slow because of an accident as you head up to sunnyvale and cupertino northbound 280 at the lawrence expressway. you can see how slow the traffic is here getting up past this 17 interchange. it's backed up into downtown san jose. the accident, which i will put on the map, is northbound 28 on the the lawrence expressway. there was also a car fire associated with this. the fire department and rescue crews are there. happily, there is -- there are s

fort bragg, a couple of reports.ain, feels like rain, smells like rain, but not getting rain. a wave or development is taking place and that will slow it down. at the same time, it might enhance it tonight or tomorrow but not right now. this is one outlook for rain. i tend to buy this a little bit more. there's going to be areas to the north that get heavy rain. but this looks more in line with my thinking, although if this system stalls, you could double these. one of the projections, the quantitative forecast puts 18- inches. san jose, about an inch and a half. so that's the problem we're dealing with. if this system parks itself over the north bay, it could rain and rain and rain. rain for the north bay but not until late tonight or tomorrow morning. in fact, i think by tomorrow morning there will be rain to the north and not much for the south bay. it will be cloudy and windy. there will be rain to the north but we will see how far it moves. temperatures above average and continue to stay there until probably mon

there is some shower activity popping up but it's favoring areas toward fort bragg and north. there is a little bit in the north bay. there will be a few scattered showers. thankfully the breeze is tailing off. there will be a few lingering around. so one more day. but mostly dry air working its way in starting tonight and tomorrow. a little between santa rosa and petaluma. and also into napa county and a little bit crossing richmond san rafael bridge. over san pablo bay there is still a couple around. nothing too heavy yet. the temperatures are so mild. i mean 60s on the temps. these were very warm systems. very dynamic but not much in the way of cold air. 57 san ramon. the breeze is the big story here. still rather breezy to blustery. at least conditions are not there. . mostly sunny, partly cloudy. a little bit more sun to the south. our system is moving out and high pressure is building in. it will feel more like it tomorrow but it's a dry pattern. 60s to 70s. all right sal we are starting off quiet. >> we are pretty quiet. there is one thing i just found out in santa clai

but 7-inches around fort bragg. that's today lots is going to change. the storm door opens.t gives you an idea of a major pattern shift. your forecast highs tomorrow. mid-60s upper 60s. the five day forecast and enjoy it while it lasts because it's going to get kind of wet around here for the weekend. my concern would be the snow and mountains because that rain melts the snow quick and we need a snow pack more than we need water in the reservoirs. >> you said thursday and looks like it will linger through the weekend. >> looks like a wet weekend too. >> it's going to start raining around here. all right. >>> and the school says it doesn't make financial sense to keep the football program. it only had about 250 students. it was the smallest division school to officer football. menlo college says it will continue to field seven other the -- other athletic programs. >>> and the sharks look like one day they're great, the next day? what's going on. >> little different story this year. puzzling inability. for the team to take advantage of home ice that's one of their problems. 13

fort bragg power is out. they got slammed on the weekend. willits, lifting north out of lake county, maybe northern lake county. russian river could be still a few showers. the temperatures are warm. i mean for us, this is just way above where they should be on the lows. and a little bit of sunshine. that means temperatures will warm up. gilroy is 56 no 56 the low. for us, the breeze tailing off. after a weekend where it was nonstop. it looks like things will be better today. 36 truckee. some areas people tell me, it just poured at lake level. snow is still at 65. about 10 inches at sugar bowl. 56 monterey, 55 fresno. rain to the north. more sun to the south. a mixed bag. sun, clouds, showers. breezy, but most of the showers are moving north. and that will win out over time. fog will be an issue here once the breeze tails off. not today but more likely tonight and tomorrow. could be some thick fog. temperatures, once the fog lifts will warm up. it will be brutally cold throughout the great lakes. arctic outbreak is settling -- i tell you, it

it's already raining in fort bragg. a couple reports there.even dunlap has picked up a tenth of an inch. >> you are thinking of the movies. >> i know. >> it's ronald thompson. he's had a half an inch of rain up there. we do get some rain up to the north. that is the system associated with it. and right there starting to move down. now it will take awhile to get here for us. it will be saturday more likely. mendocino county and lake county is on its way. it's a cold low friday into saturday. mainly friday night and saturday. there could be half an inch of amounts. there will be pretty good thunderstorms out in the valley. quarter inch sacramento. at least we are getting something here. you can see some of that rain. it's been hard to pick up. it's been very light. so for just north of ukiah it looks like some ever it will make its way. it will start to juice up the atmosphere. 40s and 50s for us. there will be some sun here in the morning. temperatures while the lows are up, the breeze is also picking up. 40s and 50s on these temps. breeze is o

we have light rain to fort bragg. this will set the stage for a big change on the weekend. i think our best bet for rain is on saturday as the low settles in. kind of digs in and carves itself out of the bay area. if you want to do something the morning is your best bet. there won't be a lot of rain with this but there could be pretty good snow. half an inch for others. don't be surprised -- the sierra could get snow. quarter of an inch to a third of an inch. i think there will be isolated areas where there will be heavier amounts than that. it's on its way. it will start to develop later this afternoon mendocino county and lake county and for everybody tomorrow. the sierra is the main impact. the low will have an impact. 40s and 50s. 55 half-moon bay. higher elevations have come way down. they were very warm yesterday. the lower elevations have come up 52-53. 20 gusting 23. travis out of the west, southwest. it's west 17 at this site gusting to 25. and that is a sign of things to come. the wind is already cranking up here for some, not for all. it will be a blustery, coole

fort bragg had 1.63. i know honny due has had over seven inches of rain.duty rain far north. lake port is listed. there is a mild, mild system. the breeze 33 oakland airport due south. the wind the direction the wind is coming from also down toward santa clara valley. mountain view this is moffett. there has been stronger gusts than that. our system again is moving in. it looks like the heavier amounts will will be to the north. i've seen occasions you get a howling southeast wind. i'm starting to think the rainfall rates will not be as heavy. it's been my fear all week long. you cool that and lift it and get hefty totals. two systems. one will be today. another one on sunday. there could be rain off and on all the way into the weekend as the system works their way in here. the first system moving in. moves in with the heavier rain. when is the big story this morning? cloudy. come rain. windy and mild to warm. tropical feel here with these temps. a lot of 60s. mid to upper. you would not be surprised. it will take a long time to get that rain down there. c

what they really want is guys in camouflage showing up from places like fort bragg and fighting them just quickly, i don't want to ask about winning or losing but do you find that at least based upon this u.s. lead coalition and air strikes despite what we saw in libya, do you see that isis is at least losing any kind of momentum at all? >> well isis views it's as winning if it's expanding. it's an expansionist state. it believes that's its imperative. it has expanded in the sense that it has franchises in places like libya that have sworn ali yans -- allegiance. on the other hand i think they thought they would have expanded further from the main sights. is fact that they have not is a real blow to them and makes their propaganda a little bit less compelling to those that thought they were unstoppable. >> graham wood your piece is what isis really wants in the atlantic. thank you so much for coming on. come back. >> thank you. >> a vigil is planned for this evening for the mother of four gunned down in front of her home. not for money. not by mistake. but apparently over a fender be

i have watched them at fort bragg and watch the s.e.a.l.s as well.n in the field of battle but it's always the intelligence because there is no way to absolutely confirm the hostages are where they are going when they are making the raid. that's why they are reluctant to do it usually because the intelligence is not good enough not because of soldiering. >> because you really risk those american lives going in for a raid if the intelligence isn't good. there could be a trap. that certainly is the highest concern. general, you suggested to us yesterday you thought when the president was speaking about the failed raid he was maybe giving away too much information to the terrorists out there. i want you to elaborate and explain what you mean. >> let me jump into what bob just said first, if i can. over a 15-month period of time in iraq special operators worked for me and they would conduct anywhere from five to 20 raids per day. usually at nighttime. each one of those, the intelligence from human sources, from overhead platforms, from signals intelligen

the special operating forces have the equivalent of a center of excellence like we have at fort bragg it's very, very good. i was out west in harat about a week and a half ago, i said i want to go look at his his training unannounced he, took me out there, walked through medical training marksmanship training, walked through how they cleared buildings. all of those again, unannounced, all afghan led, was remarkable. i came away refreshed that all of that training that goes on for the most part is afghan led had been with our help several years ago but i feel confident they continue to do that. >> i have to tell you i was really impressed in the early years, i was there because we were participating in that in a very personal way. and then expressions on the face of the afghans, i thought they really wanted to train they're very proud of the accomplishments, particularly at the training center. i never dreamed at that time we'd be back here 10 or 12 years later talking about it. this has been asked before but for a different reason, let me reflect on what's happening right now. we had

i'm here at fort bragg. the spearhead of most operations. godspeed to all those brave american men and women who go out and protect america every day. host: thanks for calling, felix. anything you want to pick up on their? guest: thank you for the question, caller. i think the point was comparing the economy's performance under the current administration, the obama administration, with the economy performance during the reagan years. you may recall, ronald reagan became president also added tough economic time. he became president in 1980 when the unemployment rate was about 10%, about the same when obama became president. we can debate the policies that reagan put into place. i think the one thing that was quite good he recognized many parts of our economy were overregulated. it was not very productive. the lack of competition cap prices higher. and reduced choice for consumers. i think he realized that and work to reduce regulation in many sectors. that did read benefits longer run. it created more competition it brought down inflation, wh
