Two were people affecting affected by wildfires are expecting for another big storm to hit, the rain thread is causing some concern that the wet weather could cause mudslides and landslides. Crews have been working to prevent a massive erosion in areas that were burned when the kinkead fire swept through that area. The erosion has already resulted in a small amount of debris getting into a nearby pond. Holds the soil, binds the soil, it also slows rain flow water from impacting the soil so heavily. It slows water down as is flowing into streams and the pond. A big concern going into the weekend is that mud and debris could flow outside the park and right into neighborhoods. City leaders have declared a local state of emergency because of the weather. Allie rasmus reports his comes after a mudslide affecting drivers and pedestrians. Reporter drivers heading westbound on san bruno avenue near crest moore should be aware that one lane of traffic is closed and that is because of what is right next to it, this is a landslide that happened earlier this week doing heavy rain. According to the City Managers Office a 30 foot chunk of dirt slid down into the canyon below. These are some pictures from the other side of it. This happened earlier this week during some of the heavy rain right along the eastern portion of san bruno avenue between crest moore and glenview drive. Because of the slide is about 10 feet between the sidewalk and the edge of that slope. The sidewalk on this side of the street, the westbound direction is closed and as we showed you a minute ago theres about 300 feet of on the westbound lanes closed to traffic as well as a caution. The city manager says no homes or private property are threatened by this but by declaring a local state of emergency and will allow the city to get the hillside short of quickly and release some of the money to do that and prevent any further erosion. We have reached out to the City Managers Office to get more information on the timeline for making these repairs, we are waiting to hear back. In the meantime drivers again heading westbound on san bruno avenue should be aware that one lane of traffic is closed because of this landslide. In san bruno, ktvu fox2 news. Lets get back to the wednesday commute, where do you want to go . It is slow out there, as a matter of fact, been noticing the south bay commute is slower but we are not forgetting our friends in the north bay lets start with the Golden Gate Bridge and the traffic here getting to southern marin county. It is okay heading south across the bay on highway 4. We do have a lot of slow traffic this falls and more along the routine line. Have not had that many crashes, it is very slow out there. I want to mention in checking with sfo, there are delays San Francisco airport due to the weather. So far only a little more than half hour, hopefully they will stay right there. They bridge is backed up at 420 25 minute delay and 880 is getting slow down the south bay commute has been slow, will check on that a little bit later on in the next traffic update which is just minutes away. Right now i want to get you to steve who will talk about the rain. Indeed it down towards santa cruz Santa Clara County they are by far taking the brunt, to be a different scenario friday and saturday. Weve had an inch of rain so far, still raining just like the old days well, theres been some pretty good rain, or get held that an enzyme sure gilroy is there along with sam martin. Watsonville just shy of an inch, ive also heard santa cruz had an inch of rain. And it has been relentless since about midnight they are closer to the proximity of the low, they are getting a little bit more dynamics, look at that, mainly san jose south but there still some even a Mount Hamilton, some of these bands going along the santa cruz coastline. Brentwood has had pretty good rain this is the south bayeast bay event more so than redwood city and dublin which could pick up a third of an end. Castro valley a quarter of an inch. One inch verified to the south, theres already four or five locations that have come in with that much if you go to the north you find about a 10th of an inch or less thisll be a morning event that slowly decreases into the afternoon and evening. The low tabs and is a very deep moisture and that is what is rotating in. Itll take a lot of this east and south with it as it moves inland. We will see a decrease but still some pretty good bands rotating through so we are not done yet, into the west and there is far less about a quarter of an inch if youre out towards eastern celano, Contra Costa County as you saw towards brentwood you can get a half inch to three quarters easterly breeze coming back into the delta and into the east bay hills 50s on the temperatures, this probably will change too much. A little bit of snow but moses lake level and above thisll be for the santa clara bounty for the morning all the way down to southern california, very heavy rain around l. A. , the next system far left of your screen will be friday Night Saturday and probably into sunday morning. I do believe there will be 34 inch amounts for marin county northward. This one is the south bay for Santa Clara Valley next will be to the north from about county north. Closed thursday and the more rain friday, saturday into sunday morning. Thank you, it is not 8 11, the exercise bike, a peloton is facing a backlash over their christmas ad why critics are calling the ad sexist, and why others say the outcry is an overreaction. California senator Kamala Harris drops on the president to race, the San Francisco chronicle senior Political Writer joins us live in the studio to discuss what went wrong, and what is next for the junior senator. I want to be clear, although i am no longer running for president , i will do everything in my power to unseat donald trump and protect the future of our country. A major shakeup in the race for president ial nominee, Kamala Harris drops out after announcing the governor knew someone campaign for her and the state of iowa later this month. Joe carefully is here. Thank you for joining us. The senators and others say its about the money and you say its about her relatively unfocused message . Yes, and about the money, its always about the money. But, yes. We talked about this before. Shes had a problem picking a lane where shes going to be going in a potential race. Not quite as liberal as the bernies and the elizabeth warrens of the world, not quite as centrist as the joe biden and Pete Buttigiegs of the world. Those a tough needle for her to thread and never really caught on. Here we are a couple months away from iowa. If im a candidate i will do whatever it takes, at least give me the oneshot and the first date the village he jumped in a little bit too early . There is a longterm strategy she was concerned about too, she had to have her name, if she wanted to be off of the california ballot she had to have her name off by the end of this month. She goes into iowa and get shellacked there, then comes back at her name will still be on the ballot in california even though she said i wasnt really running then. Now shes a loser. She is not the first californian to leave their day job for a few months and run for president , jerry byrne certainly did it twice. Pete wilson did it. The difference is shes coming back her advantages are shes going back to the state which is, uniformly democrats, shes going to have to worry about maybe a challenge on her left whereas this previous guys had to worry about dealing with republicans or democrats and also, shes going to have the biggest spotlight in the world on her the next couple of weeks where shes going to be at the trial of the president of united states. Shes going to be one of the chief faces of that trial. Watcher numbers go up after that because that will be her at her best. People say her biggest moment during the campaign so far was that june debate with her and joe biden, the former Vice President. Is there any possibility her neighbor come up as a vp candidate for whoever wins the democratic nominee . Absolutely. I dont think weve seen the last of her yet she would help to reignite the obama coalition. She has pull decently amongst those, nobody is pulling well with people of color except for birdie bernie and biden, strangely enough. Do you feel that is a move she would take . Remember she still has her day job for a couple of years as a u. S. Senator. That is just a joy ride, even if she loses as Vice President she gets to come back and be a u. S. Senator. The people running for campaign for president of the same who helped her win the attorney general, her statewide office they had a heavy hand in her campaign, talk about the management of the campaign that may have led to yesterday . What are the challenges there have been numerous stories and excellent reporting in politico about the infighting on the campaign, they never really had a true person leading the campaign there was some confusion about who was on top, who was spreading the message, some concerns about whether the message mast by the messenger. Its really inside but it led to some confusion on the inside that was reflected on the outside. President is a different game essentially pick what candidate and if its the most with her dropping out . She was only pulling like a percent in california. But it could come back up. I think some of her will go to warren and some will go to biden. Maybe a little bit to pete buttigieg. We will see how this shakes up a california is not really wide open she was certainly not the favorite here but she deftly had name recognition. I dont see her doing that. I see her withholding that because of the Vice President ial concern. She may not want to jump on a horse. Started me not to say that. Its all political, it really is. All political front page today good analysis, thank you. Time now is 8 18. It is a tough one. Traffic is going to be busy on some of the surgeon areas you are you stripping easy or busy at the bay bridge but a little slower than usual because of the earlier rain, especially in the san jose area and on some of the bridges the san mateo and the dumbarton bridge, we see slow traffic in the east bay and the south bay. That southbay commute has been taking a beating probably the worst day of the week so far driving up sunnyvale and cupertino. 8 19, lets bring in the weather advert. Lotta rain around santa cruz, Santa Cruz Mountains also Santa Clara Valley they are way ahead. Stacy ross is joining us over an inch of rain in santa cruz. I appreciate that. Also, point 90 e. , all we can do better than that. Anderson martinez had an inch plus, morgan hill an inch of rain. I think that is 1. 10 now wattsville almost an inch of rain. I mean, it is not even close Santa Cruz Mountains, morgan hill, gilroy, taken a bulk of this though there has been some decent amounts in the east as well brentwood has had 44 100s. After that its about a 10th of an inch to a third of an inch including dublin and redwood city. Morning rain but an inch is verified im happy to see that because its been coming down buckets for some others, will taper off in the afternoon as the low moves inland. Still some brief, heavy rain in the areas ready getting some brief heavy rain. If youre west to north, not so much to the east. More rain. Highs in the 50s and more rain friday Night Saturday night, this time in the north again.

Last at buckingham hat palace President Trump and the first lady attended the anniversary reception marking 70 years. Queen elizabeth greeted them at the door as long as Prince Charles and his wife.

There is an awful lot of talk about the ad for peloton. Many say is negative and sends a set six message sexist. It shows a young woman who receives a peloton bike for christmas, she video blogs about the bike and says it changes her in a year.

I dont know if youll be a wet one, will it be dry . Dont down there is always tough, always later. If its after six clock i think there in the window. I think they should be if they get the win against the ducks. Is get to some of the rainfall. If youre saying we have not had that much, you are not in the Santa Cruz Mountains of the Santa Clara Valley. Both have had over an inch, sam martin an inch plus. Gilroy 107, wattsville almost an inch. Not to be overlooked though, Mount Hamilton three quarters. Brentwood almost an half inch. I want to focus on, its all a bit about san jose, santa clara. Look at how brentwood, tracy, byron out to oakley. Pretty good rain east bay and south bay. This is a system that favors east and south. The one friday will be north and that of a friday, saturday, probably into sunday morning. Some four amounts would not surprise. The system though is moving inland. As it does, it will take moisture with it. But, boy it has been relentless. In the locus further enough inland. Traffic is going to be slow on highway four and 680. It is raining again here at the toll plaza. You can see the lens is getting wet, 880 northbound is slow so the rain has come off and on. San mateo and dumbarton bridge are slow. Dumbarton bridge had an earlier stall. Almost everywhere in the south bay is slow and i cannot recommend one freeway over the other. Every single trip into the west valley is slow. We will look at that and more coming up in a bit. We continue to follow drell loving developinh stories are the east bay, police and the sheriffs are investing multiple robberies with crime scenes in both Castro Valley and hayward. It appears a chevron gas station at 711 were hit in Castro Valley. After that someone that authorities on a chase at 580 that ended on beech street and hayward. Sarah is at the scene in Castro Valley gathering some new information. We will check in with her at the top of the hour. Happened today, an attorney representing the family of a man who died at the santa rita jail will announce details of a federal civil rights and unlawful death lawsuit against the Alameda County sheriffs department. He was being held held at the jail, claim he died of association after being placed in a body suit called the wrap his family was originally told that he died of an overdose. To the north bay we have an update this morning about a man who died in Police Custody last week. David ward reported his car stolen to police but later was able to find it on his own. Police said they did not know ward had already recovered it. They spotted the vehicle last wednesday morning to try to pull him over. Investigators say that ward refused to comply with their demands. He was tased and then put into a hold. He later died at petaluma valley hospital. His sister says the police should have handled the situation differently. What was the rush . Why not take a little more time to ascertain the situation . Before taking, before just sticking to he is not complying coming he is not complying, therefore we have the right to do this. The santa rosas Police Department expects the investigation to last a couple of months, after that itll be turned over to the das office. Having now, the impeachment inquiry into President Trump is in its next phase. The house Judiciary Committee is hearing from four law professors as it decides whether or not to draft articles of impeachment against President Trump. Cristina rendon is live in our newsroom to bring this up to date. Good morning, fireworks are already flying during opening statements. The ranking republican manner member criticize the process so far in this impeachment inquiry and claims the law professors are speaking to the have time to read reports. But, pushed back in her statement saying that she is insulted by that suggestion that has for testimony but every witness. She is one of three will law professors chosen to talk about. We have already talked to the Founding Fathers and the framework of the constitution. They have also set the evidence before the house does show President Trump abused his power when he withheld military aid from ukraine and asked the country to investigate his political rival joe biden. But there is a fourth law professor, one chosen by republicans who says this is not how you impeach a president. He also set it off by saying he is not a trump supporter and did not vote for him. Here are two opposing remarks. Government into our elections is especially serious abuse of power because it undermines democracy itself. Our constitution begins with the words we the people for a reason. Im concerned about lowering impeachment standards, a paucity of evidence, and an abundance of anger. I believe this impeachment not only fails to satisfy the standard of past impeachment but, it will create a dangerous precedent for future impeachment. We want to give you a live look at the hearing underway. There is a law professor undergoing questioning from some of the attorneys that we understand are for the democrats. Its all in a similar format we have seen before. The maquettes are in their 45 minute. To question the four professors and then republicans will get another 45 minutes before they move on to fiveminute rounds were each of the committees 41 members have a chance to question this four law professors. We want to mention the white house declined to participate in todays hearing saying the entire process has been unfair. Weve already seen republicans interrupt the hearing after two professors have spoken an opening statement. When hearing was postponed or when motion was postponed the hearing until next week and the other was to bring in the whistleblower to testify. But both motions were tabled. If youre interested, we are carrying this hearing live, uninterrupted on ktvu. Com. You can watch that now if you switch over to ktvu plus. Stay with us for the latest i will have an update in our next hour. 8 37, the oakland zoos oldest African Elephant has died. She collapsed yesterday and died at 2 45 in the afternoon. It was inside a 6 1 2 acre habitat. Two keepers and areas cannot help the elephant until the other elephants were cleared from the area. This too has not announced the cause of death. Another check of traffic for you on this wednesday morning. He said the south bay just very difficult to get around. It is very difficult. Part is because we started off so poorly. We had some crashes in the south bay that were very slow, in fact we will start there with him a look at all that slow traffic. Earlier this morning with a crash on 280 and 87 other people were on the 101, now people are on 85 and really people are on every single freeway and i would just say if youre trying to get to your job in sunnyvale, cupertino or palo alto and are driving itll take a long time. Just in case you can reroute your commute or, i say reschedule your commute for a little later on. It has been raining pretty hard so a picture of what is going on. If you are looking is one of the other commutes, the east bay commutes are okay. North towne 880 is slow driving into downtown oakland. He gets the bay bridge toll plaza it is wet there again. The rain does have an impact. Or an effect on the morning commute. That did affect the traffic there you go. I can see that. Two the projection was for an 10th of an inch to an inch south and it has gone past that. Pretty impressive here towards the Santa Clara Valley. This is mainly a morning event that is slowly decreased into the afternoon. But, we are not done yet, itll still wrap back in. Gilroy over an inch of rain, morgan hill an inch of rain, santa cruz an inch of rain. 80 3 100. Even out towards brentwood now, almost a half inch of rain. Hamilton three quarters, san jose. 27. I think theres more than that. They havent changed much at all. Castro valley quarter of an inch, 2 10, oakland 18. You can see the moisture streaming northward and then watch how it starts to pick up their towards brentwood, antioch, also off to tracy, the east side of mount diablo, but some of this is going to start rotating back towards the north and i will show you that in a second. Rain returns, break a thursday, stronger on tap and i think it lingers into sunday morning to be honest with you. Our system is finally beginning to make the move inland ever so slowly. Still sending in intense bands. Looks like lighting up a little bit now in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Watch others moisture now start to take a turn back towards marin county and sonoma county. Mendocino county, was kind of a mess there for a while but not now. Decrease from south and north, as it begins to move inland. Heavy rain down to southern california. Thatll be marin county northward though. Really heavy river north 50s on the temperatures, more rain on the way but we will get a break tomorrow. Thank you.
