taking a live look outside right now across the golden gate bridge. lots of clouds out there today. cows following some flood warnings or watches. what was will tighten a little bit advisory, which means that the rain is coming down quickly. the cells are popping up very fast. it gets pretty dangerous because if you are >> kind of the wrong place, right? if you're on the road driving and you get caught one of these cells, it's very unpleasant. this is a live look from mount tam. you can see all the cloudy skies out there. let's zoom in and show you where some of this action to take you first over towards the east bay. this area's been expanding. as you can see, the cells are just popping up there in and around san ramon and dublin. and so, you know, if you're in this area, i would not get out on the road if you can avoid it because this is going to take time for this to work out. and in the meantime, you could cause a real ponding on roadways and make it very unpleasant for you to even be able to see if you're stuck in this heavy of a downpour that does go between about 4.35, o'clock that we should see things start to settle down. now we'll go over to the peninsula in and around san mateo. and this one also has just popped

up along 2.80. so we're i don't want to be is in a car right there trying to see the road ahead of me when these downpours are coming down. that's what saying. if you know anyone is about to head out, let them know that they want to give it an hour or 2 and then this will start to settle down. this is part of this huge low pressure system sitting off the coast, delivering a lot of rain to southern california and some snow to some of the southern california mountains right now. also causing flooding issues in parts of central california. northern salinas was under a flood warning a little bit earlier. now there is a rescue on the way it's called high pressure is going to be heading our way as we get into tomorrow. so today, this low pressure still hanging out, but it's finally going to track and and head out. and once it does that high pressure builds, then it's a whole new world. what we get into later tonight and then tomorrow and friday are actually looking really as far as rain totals are concerned, you can see where the bigger numbers are clearly down in southern california. we don't have a lot to pick up. but what we've got is a little bit rambunctious before it gets out of here. hughes future

cast to show you once we get into tonight, all of the slides to the south and we get some clearing and then we're out of the woods. but for the next 2 hours, if it's my family member, i think stay home. don't get on the road. don't put yourself out there and all that rain coming it's just not worth it, right? because highways are tough enough when it's a good day out with weather like this right now for the next hour or 2. not a great idea to get out. and if you can avoid it back to you. thank you. happening tonight, the warriors taking on the milwaukee bucks. andrew wiggins will be back on the court. he was away due to personal reasons. >> this is the second straight season. personal issues have forced him to take a leave of absence. we can still tell the media on wednesday that he is very happy to be back. >> just, you know, being around the team, you know, so, so love and, you know, support, you know. it's a it's a family here knows mister guys and obviously basketball and, you know, happy to be back. >> the warriors take on the milwaukee bucks tonight at 7. still ahead, how ai could be

>> we continue our coverage of the super tuesday results right now as residents are bracing for the upcoming november election where representative adam schiff and steve garvey will go head-to-head for the late senator dianne feinstein's seat and kron 4 political analysts in sonoma state political science professor david mcewan joining us now via zoom. we like when you're here in person yesterday, but we'll take soon. that's fine. that's fine. all right. let's start with this schiff, first garvey. and here is how my friends and i were talking about it. so now. ship doesn't have to run against any democrats. he can. it a landslide victory just like the da had when he was running for the open senate seat. is this exactly what the shift campaign wanted the entire time to have to run against garvey and not of katie porter or barbara lee. >> sure, there's certainly enough money buoy a plus, steve garvey. so they got

exactly what they wanted. there's a couple of wrinkles to this. you saw last night that there were disgruntled protesters at adam schiff shiny moment. that is speech. that's because there's a portion of progressives that are upset about gaza and what's happening there. that's an important element. you don't want those voters on the sidelines in such an important election as we're likely to see in november nationwide in terms of the most important election since 18, 60, in addition to that, steve garvey is going to have to show that he can fundraise. that's an important element. we know adam schiff can fundraise. he'll do that as a long a long running touchdown, democrat, td democrat. you're going to have a republicans potentially come out to vote, not just that the tap into the ticket in terms of donald trump but for a recall against governor newsom. all of that let lends itself to you probably get a poll week out 2 weeks out from november election. it's us all. look, steve garvey is

closing. he's within 5, 6, 8, point. something like he still unlikely to be successful because one out of 2 registered voters in california just about as as a democrat. plus, you have independent voters. so this is the matchup they wanted. and it is clearly one that advantages adam schiff and down down ballot as well. but steve garvey is going to give it a good go. should be an interesting watch, especially if you can raise any money. >> we have a lot of time between now and november. let's talk about prop one. this is a measure that is going to be about 6 billion dollars in tax money to help build mental health treatment facilities. they say it supposed to help the homeless. it's sort of denies them anyway. it's split down the middle. this proposition. it has about 50% support. yes, 50% are still against it. are you surprised? it's so close? and wendy, think which direction you think it's going to go? >> looks like it's going eke out. it's going to just barely

passed anything less than 52%. yes. vote with no opposition. that's basically even though its passage. it's basically a loss. so that's hugely important as a little bit of a push back against governor newsom because obviously he owns this issue. we cs scared of cash. i care not cash in san francisco's mayor, but look at this way. those garvey voters came out at the behest of all that spending by adam schiff and impacts associated with them to vote for donald trump to vote for steve garvey. and at the same time vote against those bond measure. bowie it up. that is an important element and we know the ballot measures to stern stir up turnout typically around 3 to 5% of more voters in a primary and a low voter primary like this, it's probably only 2 or 3%, but in a general election like november, voter turnout has pushed by ballot measures, is going to pump up 5 to 8 points that overall probably helps democrats again, hoping probably adam schiff in the fall. >> all right. now onto the rematch, donald trump versus

joe biden and nikki haley has now about out. she did not endorse donald trump. she said that her voters need to be sort of wood. and president biden said, you know why you guys can come over here. if you're interested in that. where do you think and nikki haley voters going to go come november? >> well, i think voter of in november is going to be part of that contingent of about 25 to 30% of republicans who won't vote for donald trump under just about any circumstances that this is a group that has showed some resistance. it does vary a bit by state and both location in terms of where they're living like an emergence of herbs or i attached to urban areas. in addition, you have to pay attention that there's a group of biden voters that are thrilled about him but will also not vote donald trump. so there's this group that's in the middle. that's a little bit squishy for each side and will be a turnout factor. it also places a lot of emphasis for tomorrow night's state of the union. yes. talk to me about the state of the union. what are you looking for?

>> during beach tomorrow. >> yeah, i mean, does joe biden to what degree as he lay out the argument for reelection, how combative he's the about republicans, he's not able to control the environment as because of what's going on. and we've had a loss of decorum around state of the union speeches because we have any for foibles or flubs. i mean, joe biden is famous for those. and to what degree does talk about things that are somewhat difficult like the gaza situation, particularly younger voters who don't appear to have showed up in any substantial numbers during the primary, but are hugely important november election, a voter demographic of about 18 to 35. >> yeah, they're going to be really watching him to see, you know how he handles just like the actual presentation, just as much as what he's going to be the substance of what he's going to talking about. so will airing that tomorrow and we can talk about it on friday. thank you very thanks, david. another disturbing incident unfolding

at a walnut creek city council meeting council members and community members here in 2 minutes of an anti-semitic speech during public comments last night. so this man here who did not identify himself, took to the podium at the start of public comments and he just spewed off hateful comments. they were aimed at members of the jewish community, including at a jewish council member kevin welk. and this is following a similar incident just 2 weeks ago and that time this man here who identified himself as scotty also just say really means to for wearing a shirt that had the words white power on it. he slams city leaders for ending the virtual public comments and they did so because anti-semitic comments were coming in virtually. so here's what the city council in walnut creek has put out. as far as a statement. they called it horrific, adding that the person who spoke us not a member of the community and the statement reads in part here, walnut creek is an inclusive community, that values and promotes the diversity of our residents, including the ability to observe their chosen realizan religion. they go on to say

while we will always respect the public's right to free speech, we will also condemn hate speed speech. excuse me, condemn hate speech. every opportunity and did so last night. from there we go to what's going on in the middle east, as egypt says, there has been no breakthrough in the israel-hamas negotiations. hamas today saying it will, quote, continue negotiations. but the 2 sides remain very far apart with hamas officials reiterating that they will not exchange any prisoners until there is a cease-fire. the u.s. qatar and egypt have been working for weeks to reach an agreement where hamas would release up to 40 hostages in exchange for a six-week ceasefire. the release of some palestinians being held in israeli jails and more humanitarian aid. >> hamas right now. >> the clock is ticking to get a deal on the books before sunday. that's the start of the muslim holy month of ramadan. much of gaza is in

ruins and the humanitarian situation is out of control. president biden says more aid is needed into the palestinian enclave, groups say they're having difficulty delivering supplies because of the ongoing fighting and challenges that have come with coordinating in recent days. the u.s. has air-dropped aid into gaza and the pentagon says it is currently considering delivering aid via a maritime corridor. back now to the bay and taking a live look outside here across the bay bridge. >> it's calm out there wind wise, but where this rain that's coming down in parts of the east bay right now is pretty significant. kyla. yeah, peninsula east bay, south bay and it is dangerous and it is coming down very quickly. so the cloudy skies you see in san francisco are a little bit of a deceiving view, right? because what's going on as we do that or you see all the yellow boxes, those are flood advisories and some of them just expanding and going up as we speak. so want to take you down to just south of san jose. >> and you can see here heading from san jose to morgan hill where they are now under flood advisory. you see

how that read pops up there so quickly. i just query this and you can see this is a precipitation rate that is estimated at 2.7, 4 inches per hour. that's how heavy that rain is coming down. this is incredibly dangerous as we go up into the peninsula. douse eddyville palo alto woodside. you are also in this, too. and this does just go until about 5.30, after that. we should start to see big improvements once this starts to pass by. but right now it is getting dangerous in san mateo along 2.80. you just don't want to be on these roads. i know i sound like a broken record, but i got to say it again. if you're about to head out the door, take a don't do it. wait until this passes us by. you don't want to be stuck in a situation. we've got pouring rain. you can't see in front of your car. so here we are in the east bay now, san ramon, dublin hayward, along 5.80, along 6.80. you're also into these flood advisories until about 4.30, in some spots and 5.15, and other. so again, this is going to pass quickly. but at the moment, you want to make sure you're being careful because this is happening right now. this is going to

pass a spy by about 5.30. but right now we've got rain rates along some of these highways over half an inch an hour. and that's not where you want to be. why is this happening? got this low pressure system that's taking its time. it's tracking to the south of us and then moving in. but you can see it's throwing all of this energy to central and southern california. lots of heavy rain for them. so my advice stay put for a little bit. let's get through this. then we get our sunny skies back tomorrow. back to you. attorney general rob bonta is demanding met a better protected to users. >> bonta and 40 other attorneys general sent a letter to better urging the company to review its data security practices amid national consumer protection week account hijackings have dramatically increased in the last year. the takeovers allow the scammers to steal personal information. the letter calls on the company to rework their procedures when it comes to handling takeovers, including an increase in staffing that is able to respond to these hacks. the collision also wants to remind users to use complicated and unique passwords for all of their accounts. there's a new belt
