>> reporter: some good news for marin county at the very least. all seven of marin county's reservoirs are currently at capacity. we were actually talking to people who went out just so they could look at the spillway because they were so excited to see all that water rushing out of nicaso reservoir. they were taking pictures and coming out to celebrate the fact they were getting so much water because, of course, people have been concerned about drought for the last couple of years. i want to contrast that to two years ago, 2021 and how bare nicaso reservoir was. this is a shot we took to show people how concerned the authorities were about water resources. a lot of the bay area in general have been in water conservation mode. now the state now tells us this series of rains are slowly recharging all state reservoirs and at least here in marin county all seven reservoirs are currently at 100% capacity. and, janelle, we'll tell you nor about that coming up on nbc bay area news at 5:30. >>> sergio, thank you. i know you're getting soaking wet. hop in

this is one of the many reasons that marin county declared the state of emergency last night, during a meeting. hopefully it will give the county the opportunity to be eligible for state and federal funding to cover the damages. the damages are pretty widespread. here's video from yesterday in novato, where a tree crushed a home , at least partially. it looks like the damages are here, with the inches of rain we have seen. we saw flooded streets. we saw mudslides, coastal erosion, fallen trees, and power lines. stinson beach got battered pretty hard, according to the county. 22 buildings were left damaged. 45 structures got water damage. some of these include homes. the fire chief says about $15-$20 million is the estimated cost of damages throughout the county. keep in mind, they are assessing the damage. they do expect more rain through the coming days. they do not expect this to be as strong as what we have seen . the big issue, right now, is the potential for localized flooding here in marin county, and the entire north bay. we will have to wait to see what the rain does. we have

we are seeing some pockets of heavy rainfall up in marine county as well as up into sonoma county to samir bridge crossings are accompanied by both breezy conditions and some heavy rains as well. now, if you look at the very edge of the screen, there's your line of thunderstorms that has worked its way east of stockton and sacramento. now you see all those lightning strikes along with it as this line of thunderstorms pushes away from the region. so we will see spotty thunderstorms for the rest of e moing. i'm going to be keeping a very close eye on them because in some spots we could see the storms producing really heavy cells of rainfall, such as what you're seeing right here. and you'll see that throughout the course of the day. those spotty showers popping up could result in localized flooding and downed trees associated with strong winds south of san jose north of allay off the are in these areas right here around 06:00am continuing to see those heavier pockets of rain fall as we work our way through the course of the morning here by 08:15am, this morning. still some heavy rain s

more rain in marin county.then we have seen the rain kind of stall out over sunnyvale, cupertino and north san josÉ. as we continue to see the activity increasing, that's going to cause more potential of creeks and rivers rising quickly and also more tree damage as the ground is just saturated. take a look at the peak wind gusts. yesterday evening in marin county, we had a 90-mile-per-hour wind peak gusts. mount alison had 76-mile-per-hour wind gusts, and mount diablo, 74. at the oakland airport, even a low-lying area had a 59-mile-per-hour wind gusts. we are going to see activity peaking and picking up again late morning. by 9:00, we will see potentially thunderstorms moving through the east bay as well as the south bay. there will be more in the way of breaks for today, but possibly stronger storms and heavier downpours as we go into this afternoon. it starts to improve for the evening commute. we should take a brief break before we start to see more activity popping up, especially for the north bay. there ma

supporting the whole you. >> in the north bay, all 7 reservoirs and marin county are full.'re now looking at alpine lake. it's filled to the top. this is video from 2021. we're about to show you that there is that shows how the reservoirs in marin county looked compared to now run water dot org says the current reservoir storage is at 100%. however, normally this time of year, it's only at 78%. so things are looking good. republican lawmakers calling on the governor to make more investment in water stories. they are citing concerns that much of the recent rainfall is running off and ending up in the ocean. >> those republicans say the state could get more than 20 trillion gallons of water. by the time the storms are said and done. and in the middle of a historic drought, they argue more should be done to save water during a year of plenty. >> why do we save it? is it just really is an enigma to me that we do not protect the water. that is free comes from nature and is going out to the ocean. build sites. now. the water right here next to us could have been stored in sight.

but marin county i mean, just that the setup they have there. tip a graphically were it was very favorable to this weather system. it's kind of the south facing mount tam up into the wood acre area. look at some of these totals over the past 24 hours. they had a flood watch all the flood watches and advisories should be dropped in the next few hours, but they had some steep rises on some of those creeks. and the rest of us like san jose was like, what's the big deal? so it's kind of a typical winter storm in that way, or any storm in that way was marine county always seems to get a lot of rain. here we are tonight. i just want to show you. mike alluded to this but dry right? that's noon tomorrow. that's three tomorrow. 5678 o'clock tomorrow dry through the whole day and two part into part of the day on friday, so we're getting a break. that's what we talked about a lot around here. as you know, um and we have more coming, though. friday into saturday and then another break, but i'll time it all out for you just know we had a lot of disparity and

. >>> let's head up to marin county where 20 residents were forced out of their homes when a mudslide came crashing into their fairfax apartment complex. it's an area that has suffered quite a bit of damage from the recent storms. andrea nakano caught up with one of the families that had their home red tagged because it's just too dangerous. >> reporter: this is an area known for beautiful trees and open space, but fairfax and san anselmo have been pounded by the rain. one family we talked with tonight feared that the weather would cause major damage to their home. this fairfax family was packing up what they could after their home was red tagged on friday. >> i'm still trying to grasp this is really happening. >> reporter: lovely wine and her four kid live right where the tree and debris slammed into their home. >> i got a call from my niece and she was terrified and screaming and said a tree had gone through the bathroom window. >> reporter: according to marin county fire, this mudslide displaced 19 people from the six units on the property along with seven dogs and four cats. two u

a break from the heaviest rain for parts of sonoma county and marin county. the next band is already pushing onshore in sonoma county and marin county. that is going to be accompanied by gusty winds as well. a brief break in action for san francisco in downtown oakland. some of the heaviest rain is pushed over the oakland hills now and continues to soak the six andy cordan corridor. -- 680 corridor. further and further to the east. san jose, the heaviest rain is beginning to taper off a little bit . a brief break in the action, peninsula along the coast. but again, the next round of rain is going to be moving towards you . switch over to futurecast. it shows multiple bands bring continuing to impact us as we headed the rest of the this evening and into tonight. this particular forecast model tends to heighten the intensity of the rain a little bit, so it looks really scary. the heaviest rain that we are going to see is what's moving to the east bay right now, the santa clara valley. that is pushing further to the east. any additional rain is going to lead to i

right marine county up here there are about 9 30 at night. the eight o'clock one marine county. i don't think they'll extend those but that you get an idea where the heavier rain precipitation is at this time, and as we look at this live radar now it's not the model. so we look at the live radar and we say, okay, what do we got? um and you just kind of see, it's all over the place. but i think you know what i think we're not saying i think what happens is right. you got a south wind coming in this way. the marin headlands face south. mount tam faces a little south. and so you'r

there's still some coverage showing up in portions of marine county closer to the center fell. in fact, we're talking about that darker shade of green. indicating a pretty good downpour right now, as we move the maps closer to the central portion of the bay down towards the san mateo, freemont, san jose and then out toward the santa cruz mountains. still some lingering rain for this portion of the region and out toward the east bay. this one salesman kind of showing up on our radar as well, not moving around too much, but still out toward livermore and 5 80 some rain showers nearby. i'll be back out the maps right now we are showing you this today system and then quickly on its heels are next one developing offshore and this will be around first. tomorrow morning. this might wake you up with some heavy rain downpours out there and also some stronger winds. winds right now are not extremely strong, but they are expected to accelerate overnight into early saturday morning, right now to half moon bay. you can see winds at about 13 miles an hour. here's our live camera, looking acr

all san mateo county parks and trails are also closed through tomorrow in san francisco and marine counties. many golden gate national recreation area sites are closed as well. this includes alcatraz, mere beach and stinson beach, and a number of sonoma county parks are closed, including the gurn ville river park. bart has also issued a service alerts, saying that there may be up to 20 minute delays system wide. do the trains running more slowly in the wet weather. bart is also reminding its riders to watch out for web platforms and slippery stairways and as all bart stations during the storm, they say, crews have already checked some pumps and cleared storm drains in preparation for this system. well, there is a high surf warning along the entire bay area and central california coastline, especially for west facing beaches. here's a look now at the waves this morning in pacifica, the national weather service says large breaking waves of 20 to 30 ft or expected with this storm officials warning people to stay off the rocks and jetties to keep children and pets out of the surf zone and never

very encouraging to hear that all 7 reservoirs, marin county at full capacity, 100%. we love to hear it, especially after we've endured such intense storms. take a look at the reservoirs from our county before when they were not at capacity. you can see it was very dry and it was not anywhere close to near full capacity. actually, they this time last year the reservoirs are at 95%, but it makes a big difference. you can see in the pictures this was from june 21st of last year and the average storage of is full around 78% full. so 70% of the it's full we still have more sain ahead of us. the water district expects rainfall totals and reservoir levels to continue to break annual averages thus encouraging. but now the county water officials, they must work out a strategy to maintain these levels. the water supply originates from rainfall on our mount tam watershed in ending the grassy hills of west marion flowing in to these 7 reservoirs now statewide. let's talk about it. water reservoirs are at 78%, many at least partially replenished by the winter storms. but unfortuna

some of the higher gusts that were reported in marin county, casio hills. i'll have to look at the elevation but 101 mph car bridge, lake county 91. mount st lena 77. mount diablo. it's 74 davenport's 62, the oakland airport. 59 mph. do we still have a breeze? yes in arosa, south of 28 look at oakland airport, 28 gusting to 43. so here comes the next round in and still going to be a blustery, windy day and sfo southeast 17 gusting to 39 mph. we get a little lull here. we had the warm front. we had the wind. then we had the cold front. now the next band is beginning to move onshore, and that will increase the rain again. so it's in the forecast. probably the only break will be on friday. but now today's system will not be as bad but still another inch being forecast for santa rosa, half moon bay, ben lomond as well, i would say a half inch to maybe two probably will cover it more serious snow. if you want to be yesterday, it was more about wind and some rain. but today it will be more about the snow and it's going to continue to stack up higher elevations. so

we're looking at storm ranger where we're seeing the heaviest rain as well as marin county. san francisco picking up on heavy rain but it's stalled out here along parts of the delta and parts of contra costa county. we're seeing that rain for the past hour or so. this is a look at the wide view. it's impressive to see how this storm has wound up there and tapping into deep tropical moisture down to hawaii pumping it into the bay area. we'll see a lot of impacts here. looking at 2 to 8 inches of rainfall with the heaviest coming this evening. and the winds have started to pick up. going to peak into early tomorrow morning that could break down trees but also with the heavy rain, mud slides and downed trees that will be possible with all of this going on even the potential of thunderstorms later this evening. so we're going to see a lot going on. make sure that you are prepared to allow extra time for your commute. vianey has been looking at the roads and bridges. you are looking at the richmond, san rafael bridge. a look at the view there. >>> with rain, the biggest concern sa

gonzalez is live in marin county, ali rasmus edmund swallowing the problems in the east bay. but first let's check in with ktvu meteorologist rosemary oroczo rosemary like now, we've got thunderstorms are firing off even at this hour as the act of whether is expected to continue, at least for the first part of today, giving you a live look at what is going on outside our doors where you can see very dark sky out there. and if we move over to the radar you can see plenty of lightning just right off the coastline. they're beginning to enter right near san francisco, ocean beach and areas over san francisco, stretches across the bay bridge and into the east bay where we gave you that live shot a moment ago of the east bay and some of that rain falling there. we will continue to see this march across the bay area. so again, we've got thunder. we've got lightning. we have reports of small hail, as well as the brief heavy downpours as we head to the sierra. the snow continues here in levels are between four and 5000. ft. at this time in the winter storm warning. extended until earl

you can see where marine county stands with its reservoirs right now. as i said, 100% capacity this time last year, the reservoirs were at 95%. and you saw the images of that and the average capacity around this time of year is 78% for full. so we're doing better than most years. and we now have our reservoirs full. it's great to see. but where do we stand? everyone just wants to know. is it worth it? this rain is the storm worth it. where we out with this drought will. unfortunately state officials say they're looking to know if this is truly going to get us out of the drought until later this year. all we know now is that it's helping us, but we very well could see ourselves drying out by winter of this year. so darya james, unfortunately, i can't say we're out of the drought, but it progress is being made. >> back to you. >> we'll take progress thank you very much. and again, you know, the progress the rain does come with the damage. and marin county also got his share of that from the rain, landslides, road closures and evacuations. rain county deal

in marin county time around.g may be more widespread and deep since the ground is already thoroughly saturated, and tonight's high tide will make things worse, says rescue team member canfield , fire department battalion chief dave glenn. the tides are today are supposed to be 6.2. but with the storm surge they're saying it could be a foot to a foot and a half higher and the water that runs into creeks has nowhere to go because it flows into the bay and the bay is higher. the water has nowhere to go, so that's when it comes out of its banks and causes flooding. that's why swift water and urban search and rescue teams are staged throughout the county, and we have a seven of these throughout the county. we also have six rescue inflatable boats throughout the county, and they're staffed with the rescue personnel that are trained to rescue people with them. water rescues happen not just in streams. but flooded streets. inundated neighborhoods and creeks overrunning their banks. 10 15 years ago, we had swift water run

. >> reporter: we talked to marin county's assistant emergency manager at the operation center in san rafael. this shows outages, forecasts, winds and tides. it makes perfect sense to baker cohn. >> we've got a close eye on that and mill valley is another. marin city, which has one way in and out and it's a low-lying area, it's a place we monitor closely. >> reporter: the reservoir spillway is getting washed and locals are loving it. >> i can't believe how full it is. >> reporter: all seven marin reservoirs are full and the ones throughout the state are filling nicely. in mill valley, charlene and january had moved their cars from the whole foods parking lot to higher ground, but then couldn't get back into the store where charlene works. >> i had to move it. it was up to the floorboards. now i can't walk back into work. >> reporter: i asked the ladies if i could help them cross the water and they said yes. >> i would hate to have gotten off work and all of a sudden i'm stepping in water in my car. >> you did your good deed for today, that's for sure. >> reporter: you saw those red do
