morning and it's not over yet. we still have several more days of rain ahead after the latest system yesterday brought heavy rain to the bay area, some areas saw flooding, others saw trees come down and it's not just the rain in the sierra. there is a ton of snow coming our with thes we've been seeing from this latest system. but first let's go to ktvu meteorologist mark tamayo with a look at what's coming next. mark. yeah today we call it one of those unsettled days where we actually have some pretty, you know, intense downpours that could have some sunny breaks and all of a sudden a downpour develops. >> so we are not dried just yet. and that's after a very active period, especially last night into to this morning. and take a look at the rainfall totals going back basically 24 hours. ken field over four inches boulder creek in the santa cruz mountains, over four inches san francisco. that does not happen a lot. 2.5in of rainfall in just about a 24 hour period. and you can see oakland, san jose,

impressive, and redwood city, 1.01. here's our live camera above san francisco this afternoon, where we still have lots of clouds. some interesting cloud features, a lot of vertical development with those clouds, and a good sign that we have some instability out there that could lead to some downpours. taking a look at this graphic up in the north bay, we actually have a flood warning in place until 1:00 this afternoon. so that's portions of sonoma county and portions of marin county closer to a black point. and so that's indicating that we do have some flooding happening. all the results of those downpours. so today's unsettled weather is being kind of produced by this guy. this area of low pressure out here in the pacific, as we come in closer, our picking up on some lightning strikes detected over the past couple of about three storm reports up in the north bay. look at all the storm reports over the past 24 hours indicating flooding in some downed trees and some power outages as well. so here's a look at the radar activity. as you can see up in the north bay, some scattered rain up in santa

rosa and looks like we have some development with those thunderstorms kind of moving across the bay across the bay bridge. and there's some of the coverage right now. those yellows and the oranges do link up to some heavier downpours for this portion of the bay area out toward parts of the east bay. so right around 24, right around orinda, we have some heavy rainfall kind of moving across that region, not as much coverage in the south bay. so you can't see, but still some action closer to the santa cruz mountains also. right around morgan hill. so be prepared for some more downpours throughout the afternoon hours. unsettled into your friday forecast and another potent storm will impact your weekend plans. we'll have more on that with your update in a little bit. >> thanks, mark. we have seen downed trees and flooding caused by this latest storm all across the bay. crews have been on standby up in the north bay responding to possible water rescues. ktvu tom vacar live in santa rosa here with the latest on conditions and looks dry at the moment. tom they're dry at the moment but that's not going to last. >> now the santa rosa swift water rescue team is just about to put it down for the day because there's not a lot to do,

but they are very likely to be back on serviceays next week. te putting this equipment away and they need to get some rest because when they're on, they are really on. and because of that, we have to be happy that you have people just like that now near the intersection of, um, uh, highway 121 where it goes into sonoma highway 121 connects sears point to at highway 37 to the napa valley. um, there were floods and with sea level rise now, it's harder to drain. and it dries and it drains far less quickly. and that means that more roads will be rendered unusable as we go on with sea level rise. and that is why highway 37 needs to be raised. because if not, it is going to become useful now with the situation. we want to talk to the santa rosa fire department because they have plans for the future and here's

what the fire inspector had to say. >> uh, the focus right now is, uh, the next round of rains on wednesday. uh, although we're not expecting much in the amount of rainfall, it's continuing to keep the ground saturated. and then our eyes are kind of on the potential for a substantial storm. uh, next week. now, near the intersection of rohnert park expressway and stony point road, we found two us geological survey scientists using a mini trimaran to determine the flow of velocity of laguna de santa rosa. >> this helps the city of santa rosa keep up on flood potentials downstream through many, many populated areas, all on its way to the pacific ocean. a permanent us gs flood monitoring station also there sends real time data to water officials by satellites, and then they can pass that on to first responders and the public coming back live again. the swift water rescue

team of santa rosa. these are really skilled people, men and women who go out there really risking their lives. and one of the things to remember about deep water or any kind of water is when you cross it and you get in trouble, you're also risking their lives. so just don't do things like that and everything should turn out fine for everybody. reporting live from santa rosa, tom baker, ktvu, fox two news. >> it's a good reminder, tom. thank you. the wet and windy weather also causing some delays at san francisco international. just check with flightaware to find there are currently 153 delays at sfo and 12 cancellations. so if you have a flight today or you're picking someone up at the airport, make sure to check if the flight is on time. the airport says delays are averagingmunities are opening emergency shelters for people who need to get out of the rain. the caritas center on sixth street, up in santa rosa, will be open until friday in san rafael, people can take shel on kerner boulevard in oakland. the jack london square aquatic center on the embarcadero, and the east oakland sports center on eads

the side roads as well. because even if you come to say, a gas station like the one here in soda springs where we are, the accumulation of overnight news snow has been such that it makes things slick for cars coming into parking lots like this. and even if you're walking around trying to pump your gas or get snacks to make your way over the summit. so the advice for drivers from anyone from chp officers to caltrans workers is take things slow out on the roadways. make sure you have those chains as you head over the pass, because you'll need them as chain controls are in effect, no estimated time as to when those will be dropped. that's a look at how things are up here at the higher elevations in the high country. i'll send it back to you now. melanie wingo reporting. >> you can stay on top of the story any time by heading to the ktvu weather app. we have updated information and live radar images for you. it's a

refining company on march 5th. so far, an independent investigation has found there were inadequate safeguards and that operator error was not a root cause. >> our analysis essentially discounts operator error as a root cause, and the reason for this is because humans make mistakes. and what we really need to do is design our processes and design our management systems. and safeguards so that an operator error doesn't lead to an incident. >> the final risk assessment report is set to be released to the public on february 22nd. san francisco based okta is the latest tech company to announce layoffs. the identity management company plans to cut 400 jobs, about 7% of its workforce. in a message to employees, the company's ceo said the layoffs are due to the reality that costs are still too high. it's the second round of layoffs for okta, which cut 300 employees a according to bloomberg video is

of coastal infrastructure, and we're not going to be able to rebuild back in the same places and in the same ways that we did before. >> the capitola wharf in santa cruz county is already under repair. works expected to finish before the end of the year. engineers decided to make the wharf more resilient by making it twice as wide, and the pilings are being built so they can be raised over time. if that's necessary. the project is costly. residents say it's worth it. i think we can do it so that they'll, you know, last for a while longer. >> it brings a community together to it's kind of a focal point for the community. we most of california's piers have undergone major repairs after erosion from the ocean and even fires. >> while the work is costly, once the piers are gone, it would be nearly impossible to replace them. well let's get a check of weather with our meteorologist mark tamayo a wet couple of days and i guess more to come. >> mark. >> yeah, the next potent storm

we're watching. guys will be moving in by sunday, developing near the santa cruz mountains and then kind of working its way north across the bay area. so that's what we're watching for the second half of the weekend for today. just be prepared for some sudden downpours. you don't want to be caught off guard. me thinking go outside for a walk and all of a sudden you get drenched because you have a thunderstorm that kind of moves overhead. so here's the rain today. here's the forecast for today. periods of rain, the possibility of some thunderstorms, the flood watch continues for today, and we actually have a flood warning indicating that flooding is actually happening. this is in portions of the north bay. so santa rosa to petaluma to black point in marin county. we are showing you that flood warning in place until 1:00 this afternoon. we'll see if the weather service will actually le area of low pressure is keeping those clouds and those showers and those thunderstorms dramatic looking clouds. if you've been looking out toward the bay this afternoon, here's a look at the satellite actually the radar

imagery. it's picking up on some lightning strikes detected across parts of the bay area. these are all of the storm reports you can see indicating some flooding, some downed trees and some power outages. and as we come in closer right now, you can see the radar coverage. and it looks like we have some activity moving into portions of the north bay right around santa rosa. let's bring the mostrillionecent image up. and there you can see a lightning strike detected moving into a sonoma county. so right around windsor you can see those lightning strikes possibly. and then still some coverage for the peninsula, for san mateo, closer to concord, you can see all the yellows and orange oranges, indicating that we have some pretty good downpours out there, some instability downpours. and then in the south bay, not as much coverage, but still some lingering activity right around morgan hill. and it looks like we have some development right around pillar point, right around half moon bay. some of the showers and some thunderstorms as we take a look at the forecast model. here we are today and it does not dry us up completely. we're still talking about some breaks in the rainfall, but still the possibility of some rain showers out there. so that's what we're

going to be watching, at least in the short terms forecast. here we are at 3:00 this afternoon. just once again don't be caught off guard with the showers develop. and then into tonight even we have some more activity. we are still going to keep things unsettled for your friday forecast. some breaks in the clouds, some clouds and some pop up showers. now we're starting to get a better idea of the next system that's going to be coming on board here. as you can see here, we'll put this model into the into motion into saturday. now saturday we still have to hold on to the chance of a few scattered showers, but nothing significant. saturday will be the best day of the weekend. look what happens though, as we take this into a sunday and you'll notice this is sunday, 4:00. some rainfall developing. this could really be targeting the santa cruz mountains closer to big sur as well. and the winds will be a key factor if you get an idea here with a bit of a circulation, that's the area of low pressure. it's going to draw up some very strong winds from the south. so the winds could definitely be an issue as we head into sunday. the highs for today, though, will be in the upper 50s to right around 60

degrees. so the cooldown it's here to stay. and here's your five day forecast. it is very active. some scattered showers in here friday. we have added the chance of a shower in your saturday, especially for saturday morning. and then on sunday rain and some wind and the rain could be heavy at times that may linger into early next week. >> mark. thank you cybersecure taking on new urgency by the fbi is issuing a warning about hackers targeting our lectrical grid a o er

weather. it's just you can see this area of low pressure here. the cold cloud tops out here in the pacific, a good sign that we have some instability that could lead to some thunderstorms and some lightning strikes. as you can see, this is the bay area radar showing some lightning strikes moving across the region . and these are some of the storm totals over the past 24 hours is blanketing the entire region from mendocino county down towards san francisco, down toward monterey bay. now we're watching this one cell of some showers and thunderstorms moving into portions of the north bay right now, as you can see, we'll get a closer look on this one. this one. lightning strike moving into sonoma county. so this is right around windsor. this could be impacting 101 within the next few minutes. with those downpours out there. and then as you can see for the central portion of the bay, the inland east bay, we're talking about some showers out toward concord. these could be some heavier downpours out toward martinez, concord and bay point, and then shifting the maps around to the south bay. not as much coverage here, but still some scattered rain showers. and also looks like we have some

hitting his roof, so he said, really the only sort of damage he had in his house was some paint scraped on the outside of the home by some of those branches, but it's the kind of thing we expect to see in the bay area whenever the ground is soaked. >> it was a torrential downpour. you could hear it all night. it was unrelenting and so i'm not surprised that this morning we woke up to find a tree down on our block just south of us and daly city. >> last night, a tree came crashing down onto an apartment building on king street. it happened around 1030 in the evening after the heavy rainfall . luckily, no one inside that apartment was hurt. we don't know how many people may have been displaced by the damage, but here in san francisco you can see a nice view of sutro tower with the blue skies, the clouds clearing, and just a little bit of fog left over. so now the cleanup begins for many parts of the bay area, including here in the city in san francisco, ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you. ali california's
