Periods of off and on showers. If you notice right now, those temperatures about 40s in the south bay, 50s for the peninsula and the trivalley and still seeing a lot of dark cloudy skies. So, if you have seen those breaks of sunshine, especially out near San Francisco, in you can expect to see the rain move faster as it move further south. A cool down in the temperatures, tonight we could be dropping to the lower 30s for areas in the valley. Taking a quick look at satellite radar, we are still seeing spotty showers offshore. As i mentioned over the next couple of hours, if we take a closer look and zoom in, we are expecting that majority of that rainfall to move out by about 11 30, fast forward to 1 00. Still seeing spotty showers, 4 30. And fast forward through about 6 30, 7 30, the majority of the storm system begins to make an exit. We are also taking a look at Drought Conditions across the bay area. We will have a quick update on that. As far as your water year rain update we are over 100 . Santa rose a with over 29 inches so far to the year, oakland over 13, San Francisco over 14, livermore over 11 and down in the south bay over 7. So, i will have an update on those Drought Conditions and what you can expect in terms of the cool down for tonight. Were talking possible freezing temps and the tlelt of some black ice coming up in just a bit. Ill send things over to you. Thank you. Look at this. From the air you can begin to appreciate the damage to San Benito County yesterday. The flood waters inundated in into a whole neighborhood, 50 homes covered in water thereabouts. Nbc bay areas bob redell is live in the flood zone. Bob, crews about to go out and inspect some more homes. Reporter correct. Good morning to you, scott. The San Benito County office of Emergency Services did a quick survey last night of about the 50 or so homes that were damaged during the flood here off loaferloafe lovers lane and Pacheco Creek. In about an hour the oes will conduct another indepth inspect of the remaining homes. So far none of the inspected homes has sustained any significant structural damage. None has been red tagged. At its deepest the water was only up to about 3 1 2 feet. With these inspections the oes is trying to estimate the total dollar damage which the office expects will go into the millions. That will help determine whether San Benito County applies to the state for disaster assistance. The neighborhood has been back open for residents to return. A tow truck driver this morning helped a father remove a waterlogged pickup truck his son got stuck in when the flood waters rushed across the road yesterday morning. His son is okay. We caught up with mr. And mrs. Barbosa. Their house was spared. Their guest house, garage and car flooded. Surprisingly the car still starts. Ernest barbosa, his property, bought this property because it was not listed in a flood zone, which is one of the reasons again why he bought this house. There is no second thoughts. I bought it. Been here seven years. Its mine. I own it. Reporter any regrets . In a way, but, you know, somebody wants to buy it ill sell it. No, no, were okay. It does president happen every year. What impressed me the most was just the amount of the residents helping each other and taking care of each other. The whole community approach, everybody watching each others backs and helping each other out. Those who werent impacted coming out and helping with the other ones, other peoples animals. Reporter no reports of people or animals getting hurt when the Pacheco Creek over flowed yesterday morning. Over 100 people fled their homes. A little over half made it out on their own. The remaining with the help of Fire Fighters. Some people have been staying in red cross shelters set up in nearby hollister. Back here live on lovers lane, we have people as mentioned, the neighborhood is back open. People driving up and down the street. If you look back to your left youll see a wrecker coming down the road. It has cars on top. We believe those are cars that were flood damage, waterlogged and this is somebody who is collecting those vehicles that will no longer start. Reporting live here in San Benito County, bob redell, nbc bay area news. Bob, thank you for the coverage this morning. It is an unusually high tide. The king tide. A viewer sent us this video on tuesday of bay water spilling into the embarcadero at mission. Now, king tides happen several times a year when the moons gravitational pull gets an extra boost from the suns pull. High tide today was 10 44. Might be a little insult to injury today. There is good news and bad news for People Living near the Russian River. The river is still above flood stage, but the good news is that the levels are starting to drop finally. And when that happens, residents will start to get their first look at all of the damage behind. Nbc bay areas pete serranos is near the Russian River in guerneville. And, pete, there is a new problem that people are worried about and its gas. Reporter yeah, good morning to you, chris. That could potentially be a big issue depending on how things shake out today. But were back here at that location at drake road. I want to show you guys, we use this as our barometer, our gauge to show how the flooding is. You can see he that its dropped almost a couple of feet since our live shot this morning. But as you mention there is another issue thats bubbling up just west of this area. Thats the sound of an underground break in a gas main line along old kasadera road. It was brought to our attention by two residents in the area and they called the local gas company. They are aware and they told us off camera a crew checked this out yesterday and theyre going to be back today to fix it. Were told theyll bring excavators to really fix this issue. The company says there have been plenty of aboveground gas leaks theyre attending to, even floating propane tanks in the water as a result of this flooding. They said the pipe is much smaller than we typically see in the big cities, but residents in this area want that issue fixed sooner rather than later. Ive been told by some of the people here now that theres been kids out here at night trying to light it on fire. So, that makes it a much bigger issue. If a spark took to that, theres no telling how big it would go. Reporter they said the smell that is emitting in this area would definitely can smell it, theyre saying its not propane, rather an ingredient in the propane thats released as a warning sign. Crews are on their way as we speak. Were taking a live look again at this location. Weve been at this arcade and you can see the levels here are starting to drop. But as you mention the levels will stay at flood stages until 8 00 p. M. That clean up process is just beginning. Were live in guerneville. Pete, nbc bay area news. That bubbling gas i have to say, pete, ive never seen that before. Thanks for showing us that. More perspective now how quickly the creeks and rivers rose in the north bay. This is a time lapse video from the ross family ross valley Fire Departments live cameras. This one sits at hollow valley creek and it is just remarkable to see how fast those waters come in, though it is time lapse. The nonstop rain also led to a massive road collapse in the east bay. Heres a road wednesday morning when this happened. Fortunately nobody on the road at the time. But it is a popular route for people going to martinez. Public works said they had no idea how long this is going to take to fix. All the rain is helping parts of the state get out of the drought. More than 40 of california now has recovered. This time last year, 97 of the state was in drought. So, all of the areas in red that you see on the map remain in extreme to exceptional drought, but the bay area is improving, especially the north bay, San Francisco, the peninsula, also parts of the east bay and south bay have recovered as well. The areas in yellow are considered dry, but not severe. Some good news now being described as the most epic weekend for skiing in six years.

It brought a little bit of good news for the folks there in hollister. The mission boulevard exit on northbound interstate 880 is once again flowing freely in fremont, but a major exit that connects commuters from 880 to 680 was shut down for more than six hours. After that white pickup truck you see crashed at the exit overnight, that truck was carrying pool cleaning supplies which include sulfuric acid and that spilled onto the lane. There was a Hazardous Material spill that had to be cleaned up. It finally reopened at 8 00 in the morning, but now the driver of the truck is under arrest allegedly for driving under the influence. Well, on next at 11 00, developing story six children still missing after a house fire in baltimore, and the worst is absolutely feared. We will tell you why Fire Fighters had such a difficult time fighting the flames. Plus reservoirs in the south bay are filled to the brim now over flowing in spots.

So, you might be enjoying a little bit of dry weather, maybe trying to dry out your umbrella, galashes. Everything is getting stinky and mildewee. Were trying to see a break in sunshine. The rain is trying to make its way out, i want to remind folks we are expecting a few showers here and there. Right now the rain is maybe focused more along the santa cruz and santa clara counties. The National Weather service did extend a Flood Warning for Sonoma County until 10 45, so it is important to keep that in mind. 49 degrees, peninsula 51. Trivalley 46 degrees. San francisco right now i want to say is getting the most sunshine out of anybody. 50 degrees in the east bay, 47, and 47 for the north bay as well. Now, as we begin to see the storm system make its exit, we are still seeing, taking a live look now at the radar, a lot of rain offshore. However, this rain could still push on through. And as i said, it is focused more along the southernmost counties so the Santa Cruz Mountains, santa clara, but however i do want to remind folks that the National Weather service did extend that warning for flooding until 10 45 for Sonoma County. So, we still want to be aware of the situation. And as this clears out over the next couple hours, were finally going to start seeing a drying pattern. Now, with this system were also expecting a drop in those temperatures. So, lets go ahead and take an hour by hour outlook of what were tracking. By about 12 00 were still seeing a few scattered showers here and there, even the napa area, the majority is pushing to the south by about 4 30 were seeing some more cloud cover in the air. Were still expecting overcast skies. 7 30, the majority of that finally making its exit, making way for a very nice thursday night as we head into friday morning. However, that pounding water and all of that water left behind with the storm system we could be dropping yet again into those 30s overnight which means we do have the possibility of seeing some freezing cold temperatures which could bring the threat of some black ice early in the morning. If you have an Early Morning commute you may want to be careful out on the roads. 49 degrees. We are not really going to climb much past that. You may notice were cooler today but lets get right into it. The Drought Conditions, yes, its true you may have heard it, we did mention the bay area is free of the drought. Where you see the yellowing, were still seeing some dry conditions in the Southern California area, still seeing some drought. But over the past couple of storms and the past couple much days, heres what weve seen so far in terms of the water. We are 100 in terms of how much rainfall weve gotten. Santa rose a, oakland, San Francisco all over the capacity, not just for rainfall totals, but also in the reservoirs. So we are still seeing those really increased levels and were expecting those river levels to decrease as the storm system makes its exit. As far as the snow pack update, were over the capacity as well. The storm has packed a punch and we are expecting that to make its exit tonight. But we have seen i am he press i have rain totals and of course statewide, southernmost areas are expecting to see the majority of the rainfall in the next couple of days. Heres what we can expect. Sunny sunshine the weekend, storm system makes its way in monday night, tuesday, wednesday. Were not clear of the rain. Were still seeing a lot of pounding water. Back to you. Thank you.

But trumps hopes for a trump tower moscow have never gotten off the ground. I have no dealings with russia. I have no deals in russia. Reporter that doesnt mean he hasnt tried. Donald trumps connections to moscow traces back as far as 1987. On the 4th of july, independence day, trump was touring moscow looking at sites for a hotel, including several near red square. Later that year trump met the then soviet president in washington. Nine years later the Trump Organization told the moscow times trump was heading to russia again to discuss developing trump tower moscow.

Other news, the environmental Protection Agency put out new guidelines governing how much radio activity can be allowed in our Drinking Water in the event of a nuclear emergency. But there are major revisions following our investigation into the epas plan. Senior Investigative Reporter steven joins us with the latest. Steven. A scott, last fall we found the epa was considering raising the acceptable levels of radiation in our Drinking Water thousands of times higher than current safe Drinking Water act standards. Now with this, that became a reality, with this 111page protective action guide. Epa officials tell us these new protective action guidelines were prompted by the massive tsunami in japan back in 2011. A tsunami that wiped out the coolant system at the Nuclear Reactor releasing tons of Radioactive Material into the environment. Now the epa has made those guidelines final and official. Epa officials told us this pags are not long, are meant to give advice to local Emergency Management officials around the nation and are to be used only in a Major National nuclear emergency. According to the epas Deputy Assistant administrator for the office of water, joel bove, the new pag is meant to provide nonregulatory benchmark that can help state and local officials deal with an emergency for a short term period. They dont affect longer term, they dont affect any regulatory standards. Were very clear about that. Theres no way that that cant put people at risk. But the director of policy said the new pags contradict themselves in several places, leaving many questions about public safety. Do we really want a situation where hundreds of thousands of people are required to drink contaminated water . Director daniel her shall is adamant these new rules would extend for more than a year and would be used for more than just a major emergency. If you go over the safe Drinking Water act, pharmaceutical, in flint, michigan, to the lead, we provide people with bottled water. What this is now saying is that if it was plutonium in flint, michigan and thousand times the safe Drinking Water act level, we would not protect them. Now, Daniel Hirsch says the contradictions leave open the possibility that the safe Drinking Water act itself could be ignored in the event of an emergency. Something epa official told me they adamantly deny. One group in washington has already filed suit in court over this proposal and new york States Attorney Generals Office has told me they have not ruled out filing suit to stop this as well. Well stay on this story. Guys. Good work, steven. Thank you. If you have a tip for steven or our Investigative Unit in general give them a call, 888996tips or send an email to the unit at nbcbayarea.

They definitely are. Hopefully the break from the rain well get the next couple of days that will bring the water levels down. Now, although we are expecting that break from the rain, several areas including central Sonoma County are still under that Flood Warning until 10 45. Also parts of northwestern monterey and southeast Santa Cruz Mountains as well. Now, right now temperatures in the south bay at about 49 degrees, peninsula 48 degrees, peaks in trivalley. San francisco seeing a beautiful sky. East bay in the 50s. You may have noticed its a bit chillier out there now as this storm system for the most part makes its way out tonight over the next couple of hours. Were still seeing spotty rain offshore. Still has a chance to push to the southern areas of the bay which means Santa Clara County and Santa Cruz Mountains over the next couple hours. We have a chance of seeing spotty showers. Lets go ahead and show you exactly what wering over the next couple hours. By 1 30 still spotty showers offshore, palo alto, san jose as well as fremont. By 5 30, 6 00 and 7 00, majority makes its exit. By 8 00 all that should be left behind is cloudy skies and for the most part not a lot of sunshine, but we are expecting those temps to drop tonight and a lot of that water left over from the storm systems including the water out on the roadways could bring some concern for some black ice. And lets talk about those Drought Conditions. Over 40 of california is drought free and that includes the bay area. Where you see the yellowing, its no longer in the drought but it is still dry. Of course parts of Southern California could still use some more rain and we are expecting additional storm system to hit the bay area over the next couple of days. Lets talk about our water. Here is a look at your rain totals so far. Santa rose a over 29, oakland over 13, San Francisco over 14, and down in the south bay over 7. In terms of those reservoirs, yes, they are at capacity, some over flowing. Thankfully we are going to get a break. We are starting to see a drying trend that is going to continue into the weekend. So, lets talk about what you can expect for your friday. By tomorrow morning mostly clear skies and you are going to start noticing these slightly cooler temperatures. Tomorrow we should be hitting highs of 55 grizzlies in san jose, San Francisco, at about 54. But we do have an incoming storm that is expected to push in by wednesday and thursday into the bay area which means, yeah, were expecting to see more rain the majority of it being centered to the north bay. So, as this storm system makes its way in, our models showing as early as tuesday night, into wednesday and by thursday it could cause widespread showers. Were still pretty far out, but those long models are showing the storm system arriving as early tuesday. Now, tonights concern as i mentioned is going to be that standing water that is out on the roads. As we cool down into the overnight hours, areas like protected valleys and inland areas also the Santa Cruz Mountains could be dropping down into those 30s which means we could see some black ice and some frosty windshields over there the next couple days before we dry out and the storm system makes its way in by tuesday. Be careful on the roads. Ill send things back to you. Thank you very much. All the rain has made us miserable here, has made people very happy up in the sierras. Very happy.

Im like, get on up here. But its all about tomorrow and letting cal trans teams work on all the highways. They have to work on i80, highway 50, state route 88 over the carson pass, also needs a lot of work. Town needs some work also. So, friday afternoon is probably the best time to get up here, a little earlier in the afternoon, but slow it down. Roads are going to be slick. This is unprecedented. 10 feet of snow, 72 hours, theres a lot of digging out to do. But once you get here, youre going to have an amazing time. Also, carry chains. Bring those layers. Its going to be cold. Its going to be fresh snow, but its going to be cold fresh snow. Just be prepared on the way up here. Id also slow a shovel in the car as well. Thats not a bad idea. Thank you so much, coop, and hope things go well. Keep it slow on the roads and fast on the slopes. I shred down on my bottom. Coming up, dangers with the recalled washing machine.
