Now its 3 the first significant real rain fall of the season, the bay area seeing a cold front move in and across the region as we europe for a couple days of wet weather. Thank you for joining us this tuesday november 17th im Sanaz Tahernia now lets get right to it and just see how much rainfall has accumulated in the bay area with this storm and our kron fours meteorologist dave spahr hes in the Weather Center tracking those showers for us today. He said i was looking afternoon and good afternoon, everybody live shot that you saw there too as well was supposed to the alcatraz island, but of course for the rain situation going on. Pretty much obscured by all of this moisture here stormtracker 4 live and in person it looks like its starting to break up in the north bay and its been like this all day true to fashion starts up in the north bay starts filling out midday and now getting into the south bay little bit. Although the amounts are not as generous down south. Current look at the winds because this is going to be with us into tomorrow to on shore into the teens but we did see some 20s but no wind advisory because its not Strong Enough or long enough. Weve got upper 50s lower 60s over most of the region. Quick look ahead, we see temperatures stay in the upper 50s to near about 60 we make a little break with the rain before the scattered showers kick off again stormtracker 4 you get a general idea where the heaviest rain is compared be speaking. Theres another batch upstream here thats going to be a player as we get into late tonight and into tomorrow so were not retiring the rain entirely. After today or this afternoon and evening futurecast rain totals we zeroed out from this point forward so as we take into about 6 oclock potential to pick up about a dime or so out of San Francisco east bay shoreline a little bit better pocket change than that but then you can see to the south bay very modest. Despite what you see on radar because raiders looking aloft here and some of that rain has trouble reaching the ground into the valleys, lets go all the way out as you can see until wednesday over that 1 oclock am actually there you can see the coverage not much were going to add to tonight so putting it into motion, the heavier rain sinking south just after the evening commute, most of the bay is going to be left with those scattered showers late tonight into early tomorrow morning with scattered showers company with that and that may linger a little bit into the early afternoon. I want to jump real quick to those winds because notice the arrows are all pointing due south and southwest. They stay that way throughout the tonight rather into tomorrow they actually pick up a little bit watch this wednesday afternoon in the east bay and up there to Solano County and stay in the 20 mile per hour range well that more for you coming up in just a bit thats the big story for sure well check in with you in a bit day now we go to Contra Costa County restaurants have been required.

Theyre also telling me that these new tighter Restrictions Mean people are going to be cooking from home here during the holidays in the next several the demand for groceries or going out, other than toilet paper they do tell me that there a few cleaning products are still in short supply so theyre limiting people to one per customer some of those items but to other than that no panic buying setting in so far as to not back out here at costco i can tell you one other item may be in short supply here at least at this particular store is bottled water customers telling me that the story here as a limit of one a case of bottled per member Going Forward. It may just be the store, im not sure i did speak with one other person who i noticed had a couple of big packages those multi role toilet paper in the back of their car and said that they had gotten that one at the costco overrun connell road.

Social Media Companies promise they would fight misinformation related to the election in today, senators grilled the ceos of facebook and twitter on precisely that issue our washington correspondent Alexandra Limon reports. Senators continue to weigh what additional internet regulations may be needed. Many democrats and republicans are in rare agreement that social Media Companies need new rules on how to operate and Facebook Ceo Mark Zuckerberg think so too i believe were well overdue to update the rules for the internet specifically lawmakers question whether new regulations should address how social Media Companies handle users personal information and privacy social media addiction and how those platforms handle elections facebook and twitter said they took unprecedented steps this year to fight election misinformation. Many times those policies resulted in flags on president trumps posts do you believe that label goes far enough to prevent the tweets harms. When the tweet is still visible and not accurate. I do because its not just the surface low level points to a collection. News articles of information and conversation. While democrats question whether that is enough republicans like utah senator mike lee say social media platforms are doing too much there. Or instances in which your platforms.
