this is a heavy one for the coast. the peninsula and portions of the east bay to our heaviest of totals are going to be in our higher elevations, the mountains of the peninsula down into the santa cruz mountains as well. 09:00am redwood city down to portions of the south bay like sunnyvale and santa clear starting to see it moving into san jose towards 10:00am. well, the north bay begins to dry out around that time. the latter part of the day dries out really nicely for us. but this is after the cold front. so we're going to pair some sunshine this afternoon with continually cool feeling weather highs are the same as your morning. temperatures are right now reaching the upper 40's to low 50's and lows tonight into tomorrow morning will prompt freeze warnings dropping below freezing into the start of your friday. now, as far as rainfall totals go today, most of us will stay below an inch of rain anywhere from half an inch to an inch, isolated pockets of the santa cruz mountains could see upwards of 2 inches of rainfall

but for the most part, we've seen heavy rain and it's not just heavy rain that we're dealing with. it's also cold morning and at times we are also dealing with the wind. so rain, wind and a cold and those are the elements that you'll be dealing with. if you step out in the bay area. and i also its deputy james, i want you guys to take a look at just behind me how the conditions look, it is just a gloomy morning out here. not it clouds, the clouds all definitely not the brightest days in the in the bay area. so you can see the commute behind me here on i believe this is highway 101. people are moving along. luckily on my way here, i did not come across any puddles, but of course, as this spring rain continues to come on down, we could expect those. >> while driving this morning again, you're taking a live look here at sandra fell. >> at the stephanie. james, i'll see you in the next half hour. hopefully this rain dies down a little bit. but of course, we do know that any rain is beneficial because of the drought that we've been dealing with. i'll send it back to salute lee. alright,

heavy rain out there in pockets this morning. we are seeing some areas where it's try some areas where you're not so dry anymore. >> we're sitting right now in downtown san francisco. you can see that we do have at least at this moment, some dry conditions. it wasn't that way. just a few minutes ago as we are seeing lines of showers just pushing through the bay area. this especially being seen up in the north bay at times during your morning commute for much of the rest of us should be relatively quiet out there points where we're looking at some heavy spots of rain right now include right along the san francisco border in the san mateo county line stretching down the peninsula from there. alameda oakland's airport as well as right around san leandro up into the hills above the east bay. we are seeing some pockets of heavy rainfall there and it will become one minute coming down. pretty good the next minute. so watch those 2 pockets of yellow is i've been talking about a little bit further down the peninsula. some pockets of heav

you can see sweeping through right there and then heavy heavy rain overnight tonight is really going to start to pile up. this is going to result in the risk of flooding and flood watches go into effect at 10:00pm this evening for th

that's your heavy downpours. really only increasing and becoming more widespread into early tomorrow morning. by the time you're waking up tomorrow, especially up in the santa cruz mountains. we have some very heavy rainfall in downpours resulting in a risk of flooding. flood watches across the entire bay starting tonight at 10:00pm. if you are in the santa cruz mountains, expect anywhere from 3 to 6 inches possible in flooding and mudslides, especially likely in areas like burn scars up there for the rest of us. if you're low lying area that has poor drainage is that's flooded in the past. keep an eye out for that as this heavy rain continues. upper 50's to low 60's for current temps. it's been a mild morning will continue to be a mild afternoon. just a wet and grey one talking more about this rain still ahead. as for roads, we are looking at the bay bridge pretty empty, actually only 9 minutes to get you across. they're just taking a little slower. obviously, it's pretty slick. san mateo bridge, 13 minute drive

heavy snow is coming to the sierra. it could make travel tricky in the mountains, biplane or car, starting late tonight. we have a live look at the bridges. the pavement is slick. we have the rain ramping up this morning. >>> yes, you can hear that. the powerful winds are whipping through the golden gate bridge. it is creating a whistling sound that you hear. that is a result of the upgrades on the bridge railings back in 2020. engineers are working on the $450,000 fix. >>> here is a look at the conditions, as far as power outages in the bay area. the orange squares, notice here in novato, these are spots where at least 500 customers are without power. we have smaller outages marked by yellow diamonds and green circles. i am joined by first alert meteorologist, jessica burch. you will break down why we are calling this a first alert weather day? >>> yes, we are waking up to a flood advisory. within the last 15 minutes, the national weather service expended the advisory into santa clara county and san mateo county. this

that's why we've been seeing consistent, heavy rain. it's starting to shift a little bit further southward. so you're seeing less and rainfall for the north bay, but still increased intensity for the south bay southern into peninsula. even parts of the east bay, too. and we'll continue to see this moisture plume shifting further and further southward through the morning pockets of heavy rain will take us on into the late morning and even early afternoon. but after that will consistently dry out towards the evening tonight in tomorrow from start to finish will be a dry day here last friday of the year. that's because thursday, friday and saturday, your last 3 days of 2022. will come along with rain and it will move in before you even get up on thursday morning. so there's really no beating it. just get ready for that rainfall over the next several days will amount to around 2 to 4 additional inches. you add on top of that, we've already seen in some parts of the bay area. we'll see 7 inches of rainfall this week should come as no surpris

then the heavy stuff overnight tonight.g to run off and especially for burn scars up in the santa cruz mountains, the risk of flooding presents itself. we have flood watches taking effect tonight at 10:00pm lasting through tomorrow night in the risk. here is this to rather 3 to 6 inches of additional rainfall, especially up in mountainous areas resulting in that risk of flooding and mudslides. small stream flooding. and if you're in an area that's been prone to flooding in the past, definitely keep those storm preps at the forefront these next 24 hours 50's for current temps. it is mild out there to start the morning. so just focus on the rain jackets today. no need to layer up too terribly much to stay dry as you're getting outside. back to you. the rain and bitter cold can be deadly for people who don't have a roof over their heads. at least 4 people have died from the cold and wet conditions. some of the past 2 weeks. >> kron four's justin campbell was in san jose where services are being made available to help people de

heavy traffic going on there. kind of stuck, as you can see going on here in the snow, even from this imagery still coming down, going to be the case all this afternoon. finally subsiding by tonight. back to our local radar. we're talking to the intensity. we see the the dark green. that's a good, solid moderate. heavy stuff is course the yellow. now we're getting into the moderate category for everybody. but since we've had a lot of rain already creating problems with even modest amounts of rain coming from the sky can create those problems again. closer inspection here, southern marin looks like they're taking a little bit of a break, not as intense in san francisco, but certainly heavy in the east bay at this hour. back up to tahoe. as i mentioned there, winter storm will be in effect until 04:00am on sunday. they could pick up and maybe a foot to 2 on all of this. and they're talking about the snow levels and about 5, 6, 7,000 feet and so forth. so this is not a really cold storm system. freeman, from our vant

and in general, these attribution studies are very hard to do on heavy snowfall. but what scientists do know is that north america is one of the few places where snowstorms may have become more severe. because those extra moist in the atmosphere, it can also fall a snow and cold places. but in general, there still very little evidence linking heavy snowfall to climate change and to which we expect from this year i had a we can't make predictions on climate change. we don't have a forecast for climate change, but what we do know is that if we keep burning fossil fuels at the rate that we're doing it now, it's very likely that next year we're gonna see natural disasters on the same scale that we did this year so what we need to do is to crowbar emissions and to the carbonized our economy because otherwise the ships gonna become extreme weather is going to become more and more common every year. thank you so much for joining us with that. that's d. w reporter beatrice christopher. oh the and finally, the 1st boats have crossed the finish line in the annual australian
