And hilltop wind speeds have potential to get above 60 Miles Per Hour. So the issue there, down trees on roadways and Power Outages are possible and in addition to heavy rain at times and isolated thunder and how much of this will stick around for tomorrow mornings commute in the full forecast in about eight minutes. Thanks, rob. Like so many local cities, it is tough in orinda, a string of trouble for the scenic east bay spot from sinkholes to mudslides thrk could be another this could be another frustrating few days. We are in orinda with the latest this evening. Chuck . Reporter it is raining here steadily for the last 45 minutes. And a steady rain could only make this situation worse. A mudslide a month ago that roared into this house, turning it into a red tag property, is now just beginning to get some work done on it and now the storm comes and with a lot of work yet to be done. Paul hopes this the new storm doesnt restart a mudslide that lambed into his home a month ago. It seemed like it took a lot of water to make it come down. It came down a couple of times. But i think unless we have three or four Straight Days of rain, im hopeful that it will stay where it is. Reporter this winter was specially tough. A huge sinkhole 25 feet wide and 20 feet deep is still months away from being repaired. We have to get approval from six different agencies, four of them are regulatory type to a fund related to reimbursement and were making progress, but it is taking time. Reporter a pg e transmission tower that is sliding has been secured temporarily. The work needed helicopters but the utility said crews may have to make a more permanent fix later. Today east bay mud work crews replaced a water main ahead of the storm but with much more damage yet to be repaired, homeowners can only hope for the best. The slides that came down came from Adjoining Properties and weve asked them to make the hill safe. They havent done that yet. So im certainly concerned. Reporter for the past month this mudslide has been drying out and now getting wet again. We dont know how deep the wattler penetrate and if it could restart. As for tonights watch on this storm, the maintenance crews are on special alert throughout the weekend and as for the sinkhole repair, on minor road, the earliest we have from the city is summer by the time the repairs should be complete. Im chuck coppola, nbc bay area news. And an alert for those in the loma linda area triggering mudslides. The mountains have been pummelled by rain and how is it looking now . Reporter the rain arrived about 25 minutes ago and it is steady ever since. But no winds at this point. You could tell by the top of the treeline up here in the summit of the Santa Cruz Mountains that they are pretty calm right now. No wind. But this is a community that has been oversaturated by all of the storms. There are countless road washouts along bear creek road in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This one is near bolder creek. A temporary stoplight now directs traffic around the slide. With no timetable for crews to begin repairs. We deal with it. Fortunately im close enough that i can walk to work. Reporter the big slide is still on skyline boulevard near black road. The road gave way in midfebruary and crews havent begun the repair work. One problem is getting heavy earth movers through the narrow roads leading up to the slide. At 3000 feet, the wind bends the tall trees, some in danger of toppling on to the mountainside. The neighbors are understandably frustrated but others along neighboring roads in the mountains are taking it in stride. Even with the delays caused by the erosion. The road . Yeah, you know, it happens. Nothing you can do about it. Maneuver around it. Maneuver around it and work with it and hopefully the county gets after it here shortly. Reporter and the county is warning the loma fire victims to keep an eye on scorched mountainside as well. Reminding them of the dangers they face with every storm. And the rain continues to fall steadily up here on highway 17 on the summit of the Santa Cruz Mountains. This is a resilient bunch up here on the mountains. But theyve been drenched hard this year but they do remain resilient. Live along highway 17, im damian trujillo, nbc bay area news.

Two homes that are behind police tape and investigators have not said exactly where the victim was found and they have also not said whether the person involved in the missing persons case is indeed the victim. We do know that started at around 11 00 this morning when investigators arrived in the area. Neighbors tell us that police were asking questions and if anyone saw anything suspicious. They also tell us that there was a man living in one of the homes. They saw him occasionally but didnt know him very well. Pretty shocking in my neighborhood. This is a quiet neighborhood.

A Family Member picked him up. How about that dog. Sorry to hear about his owner. Lets look at the forecast. Things are changing drastically right now for us. Right in the heart of the evening commute. It is a low commute any way this time of the night. But now you have rain ponding on the roadway from San Francisco down the peninsula. Well take you on a quick tour in our city cameras and also on the radar. 66 in san jose. The rain has arrived in downtown. And the view in palo alto. The water on the road, the reflection off the signs there illuminated off to the side of the freeway and into San Francisco very rainy and the winds picking up a little bit. You could see on the radar, steady rain from San Francisco throughout your east bay commute over to the tri valley and into san jose and mountains seeing moderate rain with the potential right along this line off shore of seeing the heaviest rain associated with this storm for the first half of the night. Wind speeds right now mostly below 25 Miles Per Hour. But notice the trend here. As you go hour by hour until 11 00, this looks like the main event in terms of the strongest wind speeds. We could get gusts at sea level close to 45 Miles Per Hour in the higher hilltops and gusts up to 60 Miles Per Hour. It looks like the bigger impact of the storm will be for the first h half of the night, before midnight and tomorrow morning we begin to see the rain showers taper off into the morning commute. So 11 00 through 4 00 a. M. , notice the heavier showers passing through the south bay. Morning commute impact, breezy conditions not as gusty as tonight. The scattered showers and a break in the action between the two storms. So for the morning commute, not as windy, but still scattered showers and wet roadways to contend with for the morning. And for the afternoon, mostly cloudy skies and showers continue and the next storm arrives after sundown tomorrow. During the day, cloudy conditions and scattered showers at times an then after sunset, 7 30 on friday evening, to about 10 00 and 11 00, there you see the intense showers which may involve a slight chance of thundershower. So the second storm impacting friday, the first half of the night and possibly into the start of the weekend. Well leave a chance of showers rain early on saturday but for your weekend plans, skies do clear and some chilly temperatures, look at the sunday temperature trend for inland locations an could get some patchy frost in the north bay valley and more showers toward next week. In the next half hour, hourbyhour forecast and two to four feet of snow heading toward the sierra. We have a high county out look in your forecast in the next half hour. Back to you.

Are you having that experience, too . Isnt that amazing . That is the sales force ceo. Here is the view now from the 60th story. The building will eventually become the new Global Headquarters for sales force but you dont have to work for sales force to go to that top floor. The top floor is a Conference Room used for Community Groups and nonprofits around the bay area. Well a few blocks away is the troubled millenium tower. A subpoena for an independent engineer to testify about his concerns about the stability during an earthquakement t. The tower is leaning and sinking. They want hard panu to talk about the builds out riggers or the steal reinforced concrete blocks designed to bind the tower walls to its core. Recent tests using more sophisticated seismic models suggest that they will not work the way they are supposed to. Our investigator unit revealed this year that panu questioned that design well before the construction started. It appears that those recommendations were ignored by the developer and their consultants and it also appear they were not insisted upon our own department of building inspection. This could be north big development. Panu is being called to testify at a special hearing at the end of month. Twitter is suing the u. S. Government claiming u. S.

Steady rain toward the trivalley into san jose as we see the system cranking up off shore for april standards, this is very impressive to see. An area of low pressure this intense, this close to the bay area, helped us fire up gusty winds and heavier rain coming in within the next three to six hours. So the story here with the wind speeds, higher hilltops and highwind warning and gusts and could have an impact on trees and could see Power Outages across the hilltop communities and accompanied by heavy rain and a chance for thunder and now tracking a second storm system arriving right around this time tomorrow.

S. Attack on syria and the last 15 minutes weve learned that the u. S. Has fired more than 50 Cruise Missiles targeting an airfield in syria. President trump authorized this attack today. This is in response to president Bashar Al Assad use of chemical weapons, that killed nearly a hundred civilians, including children. Now the use of chemical weapons is against international law. No word yet if there were any casualties in todays u. S. Military strike. That chemical attack a few days ago caused a uproar. Now a fairly Quick Response and a change of stance for President Trump. Larry is with us. This air strike, significant or more symbolic, what do you think. It is both. The president happened quickly, and this only happened 48 hours ago and he acted resolutely right then and there. He hit an airfield, the airfield that launched the syrian gas attack. But only an airfield. So it shows a very limited response, although you have to give the president credit if you want to see something done because he did do that. Hes making some action here. A few years ago citizen donald trump said stay out of syria and obviously a change of stance right now. He ran as an isolationist. It is not my problem to worry about the rest of the world. He said quite recently, im not president of the world, i am president , i hope to be president of the United States. So this is a major difference, if you will, but on the other hand, we have to see how far it goes beyond that. Larry, this is happening in realtime. The announcement was just made 125 minutes ago. President trump is in florida. 9 30 in florida. He is expected to dress the nation in some way in the next 60 or 90 minutes. What will he say. That the nuts United States not stand back and watch innocent children and women destroyed by gas declared illegal by any every International Organization forever that syria must do something. What we want to hear is whether the president goes ahead and mentions russia and iran, who are both players here. Now the question is, if you mention them then hes getting involved. If he stays to syria, he is keeping it local and relatively contained. And last question. Could this be a defining moment, were only 70 or 85 days into the presidency, could this be a defining moment early on. This is a gift to donald trump. And im not taking away in the tragedy. But it is a gift because it gets him off the domestic problems that hes going through and get him off the russia thing and instead he could unite the country behind him and no doubt that will have affect an his Public Opinion standing. You watch, hell have a bump this week. Larry, thank you. And once again, 50 tomahawk missiles launched into syria by military forces Just Announced about 15, 20 minutes ago. Thank you, larry. A follow up to a story we told you about. The widow of the orlando nightclub gunman is no longer in the bay area. She left the santa rita jail in dublin in the custody of u. S. Marshals. We told you yesterday that she would not fight extradition to florida. Shes accused of aiding and abetting her husband who gunned down 49 people last year at that orlando nightclub. After the shooting, she came to the east bay to stay with her family in rodeo. Senate republicans karenied out the threat today. They invoked the socalled Nuclear Option to clear the way for Neil GorsuchsSupreme Court confi confirmation. It jettisoned the nominee to be confirmed with a simple majority. A move likely to further polarize the parties. Now before the vote, republicans and democrats continued the blame game. When a nominee doesnt get enough votes for confirmation, the answer is not to change the rules. It is to change the nominee. The opposition to this particular nominee is more about the man in a nominated him, and the party he represents, than the nominee himself. Democrats say this is exact lip the same sentiment republicans had one year ago when they blocked president obamas nominee. That was judge merit garland. Gorsuchs confirmation that vote is expected tomorrow. After weeks of pressure, california representative devin nunes is stepping aside from the russian hacking investigation. A republican from the Central Valley is accused of sharing intelligence reports with President Trump and the media before Briefing Members of his own committee. And now he is the subject of an investigation over the handling of classified information. Democrats are applauding nunez for todays move and looking forward to continuing the investigation. Im sure it was a difficult decision for him. But it is in the best it would allow us to have a fresh start moving forward. Nunez will stay on as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee but texas republican mike conaway is in charge of the Russian Investigation with the assistance of two other republicans. As we mentioned, trump authorizing airstrikes against the assad regime and hosting the president of china at his maralargo resort in florida. It is the first facetoface meeting since the president took office. In seeders say the president wants to look to china as an ally against north korea and its nuclear arms threat, however, the president might have some explaining to do after he was vocal about his America First stance. And attacked chinese trade practices. The president seems confident this wont be an issue. Weve had a long discussion already and so far i have gotten nothing, absolutely nothing. But we have developed a friendship, i can see that. And i think longterm were going to have a very, very great relationship. President jinping and his wife will return to china on sunday and as we mentioned, the president will speak any moment now from florida about his decision to launch an attack on syria. When he starts speaking, we will bring it to you live. Up next on the attack again, Arnold Schwarzeneggers latest comments on President Trump is fuelling their feud. Form verr swarnegracsesresidt tf former governor schwarzenegger accused President Trump of stealing from kids. That is how he described the proposal to slash 9 billion in federal education spending. It would also eliminate more than 1 billion in grants for afterschool programs and summer programs. The president promised us he wants to make America Great again. That is not how you make America Great. By taking 1. 2 billion away from the children and robbing them blind. [ applause ] the president and the former governor have already had their moment those year, feuding over slumping tv ratings for the show celebrity apprentice. Soon you will not be able to buy fur in berkeley. They passed an ordinance banning local sales of fur clothing products. The Berkeley Coalition for animals led this effort. This makes them the second city in the state to ban fur. West hollywood passed a similar ban in 2013 that survived a lawsuit from luxury retailers. A potentially groundbreaking health test will soon be available. The fda approving today the first home dna test. You could find out if you have a genetic risk for certain diseases. It was created by Mountain View based 23 and me. The personal health risk test would provide information about your risk for ten diseases, including parkinsons and late on set alzheimers. Health experts point out that the tests do not diagnose diseases. The woman who suffered a 60 foot fall while taking a selfie on a bridge will not face trespassing charges.

The womens condition is not released. She suffered several broken bones but she will recover. A programming novato. We are still awaiting comments from President Trump regarding the airstrikes in syria. Before that, we want to get to our meteorologist rob mayeda, our big story locally, that rain right now, not helping the evening commute. You see the water on the roadway. The storm just getting started. We have a high wind warning and well talk about the wind speeds and how much rain were expecting when we come right back. Andpda tohe eakg ns thustta we have an update on the breaking news, the u. S. Attack on syria. The president will speak from his maralago resort any minute now and he will explain. The attack happened one hour ago. 50 Cruise Missiles targeting an airfield in syria. This is in response to assads use of chemical weapons, an attack this week that killed nearly a hundred civilians, including children. The use of chemical weapons is against international law. The group just put out a statement say it welcomes any u. S. Intervention. The war has been going on for years now. And as soon as the president speaks, well bring it to you in a report. Don rickles died today at the age of 90. His sarcasticin stult filled brand of humor earned him many nicknames including the merchant of venom. We have a look back at his career. Mr. Warmth, don rickles. Long before the phrase political incorrect became popular, don rickles already was. For more than 50 years, he turned insults into an artform. He visited the tonight show with Johnny Carson over a hundred times. The fire works between the long time friends produced classic moments. The new york native standup career started after a stint in the navy but it didnt take off until he started taking on hecklers in his audience. I started making fun of the guy that yelled at me, making fun of the room, making fun of the people around me. The humor became his trademark. No walk of life or ethnicity spared. Honduran. Im in the business 25 years and i done have a jerk that is honduran. And including president ronald reagan. Never hurtful. And it is always something that is sarcastic, but fun. In recent years, the new generation discovered his voice in the toy story film. Older fans remember his roles on screen in movies and television. But it was that pen chant for putdowns his knack for knocking others that made don rickles a comedy legend. Mark barger, nbc news. He will be missed, a smile just when i look at him. I know. I will miss that face. Rob mayeda is back talking about the rain coming in. And not just tonight. We could have a couple of days of this. It looks like a Second System arriving close to this time tomorrow evening. So this first storm, the rain spreading over right now and winds will be quite gusty, approaching midnight tonight. Right now in san jose, you could see the view on the roadways, the evening commute impact, this is not helping. Were getting ponding on the roadways around the south bay. The radar shows you an area of yellow and orange, some briefly moderate rain at times, approaching the son ol grade, palo alto, you have the rain there. Notice the roadways looking very reflective. A sign that some water is set up on theroad ways along 101 in palo alto and in San Francisco a similar view. But the winds starting to pick up just a little bit in the last half hour. Wind speeds up to 25 Miles Per Hour and about 53 degrees. So the rain moderate at times, we think the band of heaviest rain is coming in just before midnight and take a look at that compact area of low pressure rotating off shore. That is also going to help promote strong winds at times. These areas in purple and the hilltops, locations above a thousand feet could get gusts between 60 Miles Per Hour between 8 00 to midnight. Even lower lying areas like san jose in the valleys could see wind speeds 20 to 30. So peek winds 9 00 to 11 00 and toward tomorrow morning commute notice the wind speeds begin to calm down, approaching 8 00 in the morning. Now hour by hour, the rain most intense from the evening from the first half of the night and by 5 00 a. M. Scattered showered for your morning commute and during the day we we see the showers taper off before the next storm arrives. Morning temperatures in the low 50s. Not as windy for the morning but showers to contend with. Afternoon highs tomorrow in the mid60s. A few scattered showers at times and into the evening, you notice hourbyhour forecast, the rain picked up during the day, maybe not so much but here comes the next system. 7 30 to 10 00 at night and a chance of imbedded thundershowers and small hail could be possible. And this Second System we think will impact the first part of the weekend. Now rainfall totals, it will be the hiptop locations in the north bay and Santa Cruz Mountains that have a chance to two to three inches between now and friday night. And check ott the view. Across heavenly but not so heavenly if we have to drive to the sierra between now and saturday and were talking a winter storm warning with snow totals two to four feet above 6,000 feet. Were winding back to january with the snow total so tough travel around the sierra. Snow on saturday for the bay area, into the afternoon and the second half of the weekend is dryer and those morning temperatures could get patchy frost if the winds are light enough and the skies clear into sunday morning as you take a close look at your weekend forecast, saturday, plan on a few showers. Sunday looks dry. Into monday and tuesday we should see a relative break from the showers and then another chance of more snow in the sierra and more bay area rain through wednesday. So this is a little much. This is more than april showers. Strong winds an Power Outages could be an issue given the gusts in the hilltops and the heavy rain coming down especially for the first half of the night. Well be listening to the warnings.
