Area a Flood Warning for the napa river. It has been at flood stage. We now anticipate it to crest and cause some moderate flooding in the napa area. Meanwhile in guerneville thats the other river we have been watching diligently, its the Russian River it has already overflowed its banks and then it receded and now its anticipated to crest and cause moderate to significant flooding in the area. Its yet another area of low pressure causing anywhere from light to moderate rainfall around the bay area. Green is light, yellow moderate. And we clearly see that right there outside of petaluma. Then we go to the eastern portion of our bay area. You see that 580 680 corridor near dublin . Thats some moderate to heavy rainfall backing 580 to Castro Valley 238 into the hayward and oakland areas. A bit of a rain shadow in cupertino and blue hills this morning but nonetheless its raining look at that cell over alum rock.

We have some updates for you in the north bay here. Lets start if you are heading into napa. Northbound 29 after south kelly road this is closed due flooding and then we have the sonoma area highway 121 at highway 12 also closed due to flooding. But we have an estimated time of opening here and thats 6 a. M. So well definitely keep an eye out on that for you. Moving to the bridges heading into downtown San Francisco heres a live look at the wet bay bridge toll plaza those metering lights should be turning on in about 30 minutes or so and do expect high winds across the span into San Francisco. Carquinez bridge along the eastshore freeway to the maze, that commute will take you about 19 minutes. Heading into the peninsula across the span of the san mateo bridge from hayward to foster city, a quick 14minute drive but those roads are very wet so you want to slow down. I cant tell you that enough this morning. Moving over to the Altamont Pass, traffic coming out of tracy, thats 205 moving at 45 Miles Per Hour. So not too bad until you hit north flynn road where youre down to 29 Miles Per Hour so north tracy boulevard to the Altamont Pass will take you about 27 to 30 minutes along 580 westbound. Thats your traffic. Michelle, ill send it to you. Strong winds and high tides are expected around the peninsula. And the wet conditions come just after crews in pacifica cleaned up major storm damage along highway 1. Kpix 5 reporter anne makovec is live in pacifica with more on their concerns. Anne reporter the rain just picked up here along the coast of pacifica. The good news is that highway 1 is reopened this morning. We have several hills and cliffs in the area that are in dangle falling this morning as the ran up continues to fall. Thats what we saw happen yesterday with this mud slide along highway 1 near rain nadel mar. Mud dirt and rocks on the northbound labors and between cleaning up and shoring up the hillside it took almost 25 hours to get the lanes reopened and there arent a lot options for getting around highway 1 unfortunately, so traffic backed up along the peninsula coast all day long. Crews put a concrete barrier between the section of the hillside and the highway to try to prevent another roadblock but preventing the land from sliding is impossible. The ground is saturated and it will be more so by the end of the day so its impossible to know when and where the next landslide might pop up. Live in pacifica, anne makevoc, kpix 5. Crews are keeping an eye on a mud slide in guerneville. It slid down near several homes on santa rosa avenue. Some homes are redtagged and evacuations are in place. The full extent of the damage is unknown at this time. Officials are waiting for daylight to get a closer look. Not far from guerneville, the Russian River hit its highest level yesterday. It had a crest of 35. 2 feet. It destroyed an rv camp. The flooding has been forcing people to clear out of their homes. Some even leaving their cars behind. Mudslides are also causing problems in napa. The silverado trail is closed between pope street and deer park as crews work to clear it up. They hope to have it reopened sometime around 8 a. M. A Flood Warning is in effect in napa. The National Weather service says the napa river could rise above flood stage over the next few days. Kpix 5s jackie ward is live to show us how things are looking now. Jackie. Reporter well, michelle, we were on our way to the napa river but we got stuck as we were heading northbound on highway 29 and this is why. A couple of cars are stuck due to flooding. It appears that they got into some kind of accident. We dont have details. We only know that chp is on scene and highway 29 northbound is closed from minnie drive. So the flooding here northbound is more significant than on the southbound side because as you can see, the northbound lanes are lower than the southbound lanes. So there will be flooding here. No one is in the car right now that silver car but over here, in the white van, a passenger is still in the car and appears to be okay. The flooding is obviously just grassy area here. Im already up to my ankles in water so this is significant. Northbound highway will stay closed until the water recedes. Who knows how long that could be . The rain doesnt seem to be coming down too hard right now. But well keep monitoring this area and bring you the latest updates. In napa, jackie ward, kpix 5. In the south bay damage from a mud slide is putting this part of highway 152 out of commission. The debris between gilroy and mound madonna is forcing a closure until friday.

Weve been with you from the beginning. Weve seen each other through good times and bad. Sickness and health. Were with you San Francisco, and you bring out the best in us. Care. Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and trauma center. This morning in washington the senate opens hearings on president elect Donald Trumps it is 5 10. Welcome to your tuesday. This is our live weather camera looking out to the golden gate bridge. For all of you in the north bay commuting into the city, its raining and windy. We have flash Flood Warnings, watches and advisories you need to know about. It is traffic and weather in less than four minutes. This morning in washington the senate opens hearings on president elect Donald Trumps cabinet nominees. Tonight president obama delivers a farewell address. And tomorrow, trump holds his first News Conference since the summer. For details we turn to our washington insider Marc Sandalow. Good morning. So attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions is before the Senate Judiciary committee today. Any chance for democrats to stop his nomination . Reporter virtually none. Extraordinary moment. It was 31 years ago that Jeff Sessions was rejected by this same committee because of allegations he was a racist and it was the lack of support from his fellow alabama hefflin a former segregationist made it so sessions couldnt get the nomination. Today we are going to have cory booker a black senator from new jersey testifying against sessions which has never happened before. But that said, he is a member of the committee himself Jeff Sessions. He is almost certain to fly through. It also marks the debut of Dianne Feinstein californias senior senator as the ranking democrat. Thats the top democrat on that committee. That means if democrats were ever to take over the senate, she would be chairman of the committee. She has vowed to be tough on him today. Democrats have called for a delay in some confirmation hearings because not all nominees have submitted their paperwork. Do they have a case . Reporter its remarkable how politicians at the top level are able to switch their stripes. Thats a major principle. Mitch mcconnell 8 years ago wrote a letter to Charles Schumer who at that point was the head of the Judiciary Committee saying, were not going to look at any of obamas nominees until you guys do all the paperwork. It would be wrong. We would be cheating the american people. On sunday, mcconnell said, oh, grow up, democrats. You dont need all the paperwork. So schumer i think we have a look at it here simply crossed off the names and the headings and the dates and sent it back to mcconnell saying whats changed in eight years . So they have a case. In fact, just late last night, republicans announced they were going to postpone at least one of the confirmation hearings until next week so all the paperwork can get in. Clearly this is just strategy. Democrats want to stall and republicans want to rush. All right. So lets talk about president obama. What do you think what can we expect to hear from him tonight . Reporter i i i dont know how many times were going to have to use the word extraordinary over the next four years. We are in an extraordinary moment in in history. Obama is going to give a farewell his to his political opponent who campaigned against everything obama stands for is about to be president. Obama has always been good for calling up peoples higher angels. Thats not the word you would use to describe donald trump. So my guess is he will try to talk about all his accomplishments and how the American Dream lives on. Donald trump has been tweeting against meryl streep and schwarzenegger. Will this continue as president . Reporter no sign its going to stop. I just saw an interview with him a couple of years ago, um, um, trump was asked, who do you respect in hollywood . He said, well, Julia Roberts and meryl streep. She is a great actress and a wonderful person. Now he says she is overrated because she insulted him the other night at the golden globes. Well, you know, president elect donald trump is doing this because he knows the more time spent talking about this the less time is spent talking about things like his nominees or possible conflict of interest. No one knows yet whether these are petulant rants in the middle of the night or whether or not this is him as some sort of marketing genius. I dont know. Maybe well figure that out. All right, Marc Sandalow live in washington, dc, thank you. Today history will be made in stockton when the city swears in its youngest mayor. 26yearold Michael Tubbs will be the first black to lead the city. He grew up in stockton with his single mother but later was given the opportunity to attend stanford on scholarship.

The chp says its working to open up the two right lanes. And now lets move to the san mateo bridge from hayward to foster city. A slow commute because its very wet out there. You can see the rain coming down pretty hard so from 880 to 101, that will take you about 15 minutes. But i say tackle on a couple of extra minutes because of slowdowns. In the south bay we have a look in the Scotts Valley Santa Cruz Mountains area. Highway 17 between vine hill road and sugarloaf road is reduced to one lane. Normally its two lanes. Thats because of a mud slide they are still cleaning up. We are keeping a watchful eye on a couple of different situations, the napa river in napa is going to overflow its banks tomorrow morning.

The water receded fast. Its not raining here that much. Its just kind of spitting out. So that helps for sure. We moved over to the southbound lanes to get this look and angle for you. The drive of the white van saw flooding on the righthand side of the lane. He swerved to the left, didnt realize there was flooding there, too. So thats how that driver got stuck. He actually knows the driver of that silver car thats stuck. It was a mother with three kids in the car and she was trying to avoid him. She went over to the right where he was trying to avoid, ran into a mess there. So flooding is a major concern here this morning even with this rain letting up a bit. I was stepping in at least ankle deep water and it could have gone up to at least my midshin. So its pretty serious out here. [ loud sound of traffic passing by in the background ] reporter highway northbound 29 is now reopened. So you should be good to go. Just be mindful of the cars that have yet to be towed here.

But jackie is in the north bay and thats where were keeping an eye on the napa river in napa. Its now at 16. 7. Flood stage is at 25 feet. We anticipate it to overflow at 25. 1 by tomorrow morning, facting the lowest parts of town. Meanwhile, lets check the guerneville situation. The Russian River, thats another dire situation.

Youre inching your way through that area. That backup is already through the caldecott tunnel into orinda. So well keep an eye on that for you. Moving to the Altamont Pass, coming out of tracy youre moving at 57 Miles Per Hour and then as you inch your way through just that 30mileper hour to north flynn road so north tracy boulevard to the Altamont Pass will now take but 30 minutes on 580 westbound. Lets move to the south bay in the Scotts Valley Santa Cruz Mountains area. Highway 17 between vine hill road and sugarloaf road is down to one lane in both directions. Its due to a mud slide from yesterday that they are trying to clean up so on northbound 17 into san jose, expect some slowdowns and give yourself some extra time. Ill send it to you.

It took almost 24 hours to re open the lanes. Traffic backed up along the peninsula coast all day long. It doesnt surprise me theres huge mudslides. But its crazy how many people depend highway 1 to get to the city for work. Reporter absolutely. Now, crews put a concrete barrier between that section of hillside and the highway to try to prevent another roadblock. But there are a lot of concerns mainly this morning along the coastline because of that high tide we were talking about. Thats expected at 9 a. M. Reaching up to 7 feet. So again, combine that with the stormy conditions, some concerns about that Apartment Building we have been talking about for the last couple of years on esplanade avenue. Well talk about that coming up in the next halfhour. Right now live in pacifica, anne makevoc, kpix 5. Mudslides are causing problems in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Chp officers shot this video yesterday along highway 17 near vine hill road. A tv news van got caught under some rocks and mud as you can see there. The driver is expected to be okay. But all the rain hitting Santa Cruz County isnt spelling more water flowing from the taps. Despite these wet conditions, the county is facing a short term water shorteddage because the newell creek pipeline ruptured during Weekend Storms. Some 1500 gallons of water were gushing out every minute for hours before crews spotted the trouble and shut down the pipeline. Now residents are being asked to reduce their water use this week by 30 . We need folks to cut back on anything thats discretionary.
