right now at 4:30, rain moving through the bay area. here is a live look at stormranger. we're tracking the impacts you can expect as you start your day. >> mike inouye is monitoring the slick roads and any commute problems. also meteorologist vianey arana is timing out the storm hour-by-hour. we'll take you south of the bay area where hundreds are underwater this morning. this is "today in the bay," streaming live on roku, xumo, and online. good tuesday morning to you. i'm gia vang. laura garcia is off. >> i'm marcus washington. mike, i know you've got an issue this morning.

we've got to talk about the rain already here. so technically is the atmospheric river already here? >> it is, we're just seeing the beginning. the heaviest of the rain is still just offshore. but it will push through. i do have a bit of good news. it looks like the system will move out quickly, which is great when it comes to atmospheric rivers because we don't want to see it sitting over one area for an extended period of time. now, if i zoom this in using our mobile dob ler stormranger, you can see some of the heavier cells moving into san francisco. everywhere else, widespread light rain, so about 4:39, redwood city, you can see it starting to move in through the south bay. the timing looks similar to yesterday as far as when we'll see the heavy rain. we saw it ramping up around 5:00, 6:00, and that's when we'll see again today. it's a system that's going to move out quicker and that will help us out when it comes to rain totals once the system does

move out. so because it is picking up speed, rain totals are down a little bit, which is great. for the north bay, it's still looking like higher totals, and there will be a potential for landslides. wind speeds are expected to ramp up as you see the stronger cells move through. the threat for downed trees and power outages will remain, along with sierra snowmelt at about 5,000 feet. the wintery mix is going to cause this warmer system to create the potential for some flooding in the sierra. but they're also going to see additional snow above 7,000 feet through the next 24 hours. the conditions in the sierra will still be very dangerous, as there's also an avalanche warning as well. we'll go through the hourly timing and what the rain totals will look like this morning in a few minutes. i know mike has a lot of issues. >> well, this is a very big

concern. this is a caltrans camera. it looks like it's frozen, but you can tell it actually is a live camera. this is the traffic that is stuck right now traveling north on 680. there's a big rig that jackknifed across the freeway and they need a heavy-duty tow truck to clear it from the roadway. this happened at about 4:10 and traffic is stacking up. chp is going to have to force folks through pleasanton. you can take pleasanton to sunol. just note that this northbound 680 stretch is closed just shy of sunol boulevard because of the jackknifed rig. we will track that. the green highlighting show that it's definitely wet roadways, blue creeping in off the coast in patches over here through 580 and livermore, that's ponding and puddling. with the amount of rain we've

had, it doesn't take much to have flooding like in morgan hill and gilroy. the bay bridge, light traffic. rain coming down and the roadway really starting to show that water. back to you. >> thanks, mike. residents in one monterey county city are seeing the result of several storms. the small town of pajaro has been partially under water for more than four days, due to a 400-foot breach in the levee system. many families have been evacuating. this family left saturday and said that they evacuated again monday night. >> here is our neighbor's house. they can't get out their driveway. it's just a giant lake for a mile in any direction. >> now, reinforcements are pouring in. the san jose police department is sending six officers a day to help with flooding. many people who live in the area are also sheltering in the santa

silicon valley bank was also a significant lender for affordable housing projects here in the bay area. projects that are now frozen while the funding is sorted out. one of the developments that is on hold is spearheaded by mercy housing and would have filled in this space around the corner from san francisco city hall. according to mercy housing, senior vice president kate peterson, mercy housing was in the process of securing a loan from silicon valley bank for an affordable housing project, but that has been delayed and we're exploring alternate financing options. it is supposed to include 112 homes. construction is supposed to begin this year. according to the mayor's office of housing and community development, the kelsey is one of five affordable housing projects in san francisco with funding affected by silicon valley bank's collapse. they account for 500 homes, intended for people with disabilities, teachers and veterans. it's not clear how long it will take for each developer to get

alternate funding. >> and you can find all of our coverage on svb in one place, just head to nbcbayarea.com, go to the trending bar, or you can download our free nbc bay area app. this morning we are continuing to monitor the storm, the power outages, potential road closures, we're tracking it all as you start your day. >> plus, the major pharmacy being accused of illegally refilling hundreds of thousands of prescriptions for controlled substances, including opioids. stay with us. we'veot much g

sunol, i believe it cuts it off as an option. we'll track this and the weather affecting the entire bay area coming up. good morning. i'm silvana henao from cnbc. wall street is set to open higher after a mixed session yesterday, with the dow falling for a fifth straight day after the government's plan to back up depositors at silicon valley bank failed to boost bank stocks. shares of regional banks got crushed. the nasdaq rising as some investors bet the collapse of svb could mean the federal reserve will hold off on hiking interest rates when it meets next week. >> in focus today, the consumer price index, which is expected to show inflation slowed last month but still remains high. volkswagen plans to invest nearly $200 billion over the next few years to expand in north america and china. more than two-thirds of the investment will go toward

you want to stick around because mike has more on what's going on with the morning commute. also, meteorologist vianey arana is tracking where the storm is. the full forecast, including the timeline of how long this wet

welcome back. it is 4:47 for you this morning. you're watching "today in the bay." and we continue to track that downpour for you this morning. now, this is the second storm system in less than a week and it's already caused a lot of

damage out there. you can see right there it's pretty calm when you look at the san francisco shot and then the other camera, you can see the rain continuing to come down. >> we're going to see it intensify. so within the next couple of hours is when critical things will start to come in, including the rain and gusty winds. a high wind warning is in effect. i want to show you what's to come. offshore we do have stronger cells beginning to develop and that will move through, peaking between now and noon. and i want to show you stormranger, because where san bruno mountain is, we are seeing moderate downpours right now. you can see the yellow and orange popping up on our map. if i zoom to the north bay, you can see the rain is pretty light so far. pushing a little further to the south bay, if you're wondering when some heavier pockets could reach your area, this is the timing. at about 5:16 mountain view will start to get heavier downpours,

through santa clara county, 5:33. these are the timestamps from yesterday when we talked about it peaking right between the 4:00 and 8:00 a.m. hour. we saw a little bit of the rain move in overnight. let's take this through about 6:00 a.m. it will be widespread and then we see a bull's-eye over santa cruz as well. the higher rainfall totals are expected in the north bay, so santa rosa, san rafael through napa, but also the santa cruz area as well. the good news is it does look like the system moves out rather quickly, so we're not going to see it stall out. by 1:00, heavier pockets of rain will turn into mainly scattered showers through the north bay. then we catch a bit of a break with sunshine and then we'll get another round of showers start to pick up around 3:30, 4:00 in the evening. then it will rain pretty much through tuesday night. 5:00 p.m., we start to see it

diminish. at 8:00 p.m., we'll see the majority of the rain create more of a scattered activity pattern through the overnight hours. the good news as well about the system moving out is that the rain totals are down. we don't need more rain than we've already seen. if you look at the color stamps here, notice the yellow, half an inch to three-quarters of an inch, and then the green is about a quarter of an inch to less than half an inch, which is typical around santa clara county and san jose. in the higher elevations, still the possibility of seeing anywhere from 1 to 2, 2 1/2 inches. even up through the north bay as well, notice most of the bay area will get anywhere from about a quarter of an inch to just over 2 inches. so this is good here, because notice what we've been worried about, the san lorenzo river has already hit flood stage from previous storms and we are expecting for this to crest above flood stage, right below major flood stage at 11:00 a.m.

today, at about 26 feet. this is above the flood stage of 16.5, but as the system clears out it will help it begin to recede heading into the evening. the winds will be the next big concern because the timing right now for some of the gustiest conditions, right around 10:00, so right as the storm comes through, until about 11:00, 12:00. the winds around san francisco, 50 plus miles per hour, river more 43, through san jose, 30 plus as well, and it stays very gusty, ramping up through about 12:00, 1:00. concord, 50 miles per hour, through san francisco as well. so we're not going to see these winds start to taper off, really, until this evening. once that does move out, that's going to make way for still the possibility of downed trees as well. as we inch closer toward wednesday, i have some good news. it looks like because the system is moving out quickly, we're going to see quicker clearing than we expected.

we were expecting scattered showers, but now we're going to see 57 degrees and a combination of sunshine and cloud cover. for thursday, we've got sunshine in the mix. friday's storm system, although it is going to rain, it is a weaker system and it is a colder system with another chance for more rain heading into next monday. let's see how those roads are doing and check in with mike. >> we're checking the caltrans camera. i expect to see some movement. there it is, a couple of cars creeping and crawling. this is a backup caused by -- if you're just joining us, this is very slow movement and let's look at the maps. there's a crash, a big rig jackknifed across all lanes just around sunol boulevard and that caused traffic to be stopped on the freeway. they're letting the cars that are stuck in the backup past the scene. that's why we were able to see a little movement. they're trying to let those cars move through because they've been stuck there since about 4:10 this morning. you can use 84 as the alternate.

do not go to pleasanton/sunol. it's a longer way, but just take your time. wet roads. they need a heavy-duty truck to clear northbound 680 right now coming out of sunol and through pleasanton. the commute direction is moving well and most of the commute around the bay is moving well. the conditions around the bay are tough. soupy conditions. it's quite possible many bridges -- although they're moving smoothly, there's a minor crash on highway 4 between 680 and i-80, but no major problems. north bay really getting a lot of rain on our lenses. we're watching for potential issues, like on highway 37 where it meets 101, but so far they're reporting the roadways as open and clear. new beginnings for jimmy g. still ahead, it finally happened. he is no longer a 49er.
