the ground is saturated. we're getting light showers as we speak and we have heavy rain on the way as we head through tonight. let me show you what's headed our way. a lot more moisture. we'll take you through the forecast. lot to talk about in the weather department. give yourselves plenty of time this morning and be cautious on our local roadways. we'll have the full update coming up. let's get back to the top stories of the day. >>> we are following developing news out of san jose where a three alarm house fire left a firefighter seriously injured. "today in the bay's" bob redell is on the scene, we're hearing at one point the injured firefighter was actually engulfed entirely in flames. >> reporter: yes, he was according to a fire captain. good morning, john, but he had his protective gear on. we got an update on his condition, they said he suffered second-degree burns to his hands, it's not life threatening but it's very serious. the fire department escorted us into the apartment building on underwood dr

speaking of the air saturated, let's take it to the maps, you can see the saturation, the the moisture in the form of the clouds. when you're looking at the dark -- really dark gray, that is when the clouds are low to the ground and difficult to scour out. that happened yesterday. today i think that we can scour them out a little quicker and that is why we'll see more sunshine in the forecast. but once again we still have that easterly flow. that easterly pattern and that keeps lots of moisture coming in off the water. so, future trend will bring us the chance of showers, isolated in nature, maybe a couple storms this afternoon. your hour by hour forecast brings us up to 74 degrees and once again, i've been saying it all week. if we get more sunshine that temperature will be higher but if we don't get more sunshine, we get more clouds that temperatures could be a little on the low end. here's a quick check of the 7-day forecast because we will get slightly cooler as we head into next week. >>> let's check traffic with angela. good morning. >> fog, fog and more fog. that's what i say. t

hopefully that -- saturated we worry about trees. hopefully, that won't be an issue today. we are within three degrees, let's look at where we sit now that is pretty much in the low to mid 50s until you get to fremont and antioch 57° right now. still have that persistent flow in the middle parts of the atmosphere from the west lower levels we have southerly wind creating the lift needed for the showers and also running parallel to the front the steering currents that why it hadn't moved and why we continue to see waves of rain roll through our neighborhoods this morning then start to taper a little this afternoon, especially this evening and overnight as we will be between systems. before we get there we keep the rain in the afternoon upper 50s to low 60s next chance of steady rain friday storms with that system saturday and sunday scattered showers with snow levels down to 2,000 feet, hail possible and low to mid 50s for highs. >>> good morning. a lot of standing water, a lot of wind, wreaking havoc on your drive. back to 80 westbound earlier accident gone starting to bunc

butter tends to be more saturated. they are solid fats. beef fat, pork fat, chicken fat, lard-- they're all solid fats. linda gigliotti: the saturated fatty acids have a higher link to cardiovascular disease and probably cancer. there is increasing evidence that there's a value to having monounsaturated fatty acids up to about 10%-- about 10% of our total calorie intake from monounsaturated fats. so a balanced diet needs to provide all three of those nutrients in a healthful proportion. generally speaking, because fat is associated with cardiovascular disease and cancer, we recommend keeping the total amount of calories from fat less than 30% of the diet. protein is going to build those muscles and body cells, but you can do that if you get 12 to 15 or so percent of your calories from protein. so the balance of the calories are going to come from carbohydrate, and that generally puts us in the range of 50 to 60% of total calories coming from carbohydrate. now, if we're working with a diabetic, we may want to keep the percentage of calories

. >> we're watching the saturated grounds around the bay area because we have gusty winds picking up which could be an issue for trees around the bay area. you see the winds west at 30 around nevada and gusty plus obviously still have rain and lowering snow levels in our east bay hill tops now and we'll talk more about the sunday forecast when we come back. >>> some people in oakland spent st. patrick's day in a bald and beautiful way. they shaved their heads in solidarity with children fighting cancer. today marked the children's hospital and research center's fifth annual fundraiser. they look like they're having a good time. it is a childhood cancer charity that funds some of the most promising research to help find cures for kids with cancer. police officers, fire fighters and members of the u.s. coast guard joined in the fundraiser as well as cancer survivors and families >> we have many families that are shaving on behalf of their children or siblings and lots of girls and lots of women. it is a dramatic experience for a lot of people, and very life altering as well. >> by the

reportedly the hillside was saturated and the tree just came down. that will be the case in many spots as more reports come in from overnight. we see yellow here and there throughout the area, usually caused by the rain itself playing with our sensors. so far no other incidents reported for the east bay or approach to the bay bridge. on the city side, southbound 280 at alemany boulevard, reports of standing water and flooding in the fast lane. that will be the case for many spots in the north bay and around the city. we'll get a live look out there, at the golden gate bridge, rain actually falling on the road. slick roads and windy conditions across the bay area bridges so just be careful. bay bridge again has a wind advisory just like yesterday. back to you. >>> despite complaints from neighbors, san francisco's outside lands music festival will be back for another year. the fifth annual event will take place august 10 through the 12 at golden gate park. a limited amount of tickets go on sale friday. lineup is yet to be announced but people living n

the ground is saturated. need to take extra time on the commute. by 1:00 p.m., a few scattered showers remain. by the evening hours, our next storm system will arrive, about 10:00 p.m. into the overnight hours. on friday night, quickly on the heels of the last storm, we're going to see things intensify. this looks stronger for us. with that chance, once again of isolated thunderstorms and some hail. one of the biggest concerns i do think will be across the urban areas, where we could see ponding, isolated flooding. the santa cruz mountains. we've had two mudslides today. we'll see more of that as we head into the weekend with two to four inches of rain expected. if you're thinking of heading out in a boat, that's probably not a good idea this weekend. tonight, not so bad. a little mild for this time of year. the cloud cover topping off any warmth. your numbers will be somewhat comfortable. could be cold we're the storms we've had. but not so bad. 65 in san jose. 64 in milpitas. and 61 in castro valley. that chance is a few scattered showers through

it's a heavy downpour already on some saturated soil. three inches of rain right now has already accumulated from wood veil all the way to woodacre and this is producing more rain. east of the bay now we head over to 680 heading north out of san ramon into walnut creek. it is definitely slippery when wet as is the sunol grade. pleasanton heading 680 south into san jose very moderate rainfall at this hour but san jose has been avoiding precipitation all day long, now in the east bay hills we are picking up light rain as well as the cambrian park district as well as avoiding precip around the peninsula but the winds have been the other problem on the other side of the coin. right now at sfo, at 29, 22 in concord in the east bay. low 20s right now around san francisco as far as those gusts are concerned. this is what we can all expect tonight. here's your futurecast. and we'll notice this slow- moving cold front still meandering around the northern portion of the bay area. tomorrow morning's commute would definitely be wet and then we get a

but the problem is the saturated ground. it's causing trees to be uprooted, to topple over. and sometimes with deadly results tonight. we're learning more about a u.c. berkeley student that was killed in oakland this morning, when a tree collapsed on highway 13. police say 19-year-old kevin from san leandro hit the tree. a truck came, slammed into the tree and hit him, killing him. the three passengers suffered minor injuries. the principal issued a statement, saying, this is a huge loss for his family, his school and the community. he wrote, quote, his dedication to excellence led him to be an exceptional student, athlete, and leader. this arborist, says the accident is a tragedy. and is asking people to be aware of fallen trees on their property. >> it takes just one tree looked over that you can have a problem. so, i think it just goes back to that, if you have mature trees and they're in, you know, they have significant target areas, like houses or schools, or freeways, that you want to monitor those trees on a fairly regular basis. >> reporter: he says the saturated gro
