Transcripts For KPIX KPIX 5 News At 6AM 20170217

The the road this morning for the commute i know im asking a lot here its not going to improve at least for the next 60 to 80 minutes. Downtown San Francisco we do have heavy rainfall throughout the Richmond District. All the way to 18th street into the Mission District around the embarcadero light to moderate rainfall into chinatown. Meanwhile around the peninsula from daly city into south San Francisco into millbrae all moderate to heavy rain to buy a break around the san mateo area and then we send you over to the santa cruz mountains. A couple of inches of rain expected today but four inches of rain on monday. We do have a high wind advisory in place for that huge blue highlighted area which is just above the entire bay area except the north bay. The red is the big sur area. Bottom line is wind gusts to 50 Miles Per Hour and thats the scene of the wet stormy Golden Gate Bridge. You can see the fishtailing going on there this morning. Temperatures into the 50s the flag is on the fly. Well monitor this storm and the bigger one coming in for monday. With all that rain, bay area reservoirs are filling up fast. That means the potential for flooding. Kpix 5s maria medina is live in morgan hill with the latest on the Anderson Reservoir. Reporter i want to show you how incredible and how powerful the water is out here. Now, it was just yesterday that Anderson Reservoir was inches away from the top. So it is expected to spill over today and that means the low lying areas of coyote creek could still overflow. Heres whats going on right now. Anderson lake can only take so much of the water from the reservoir so for the first time in a decade, the overflow spillway will come in handy. We can get two, three, four thousand cubic feet per second inflow into the reservoir so when that happens the inflow is greater than the outflow and that means that the water level rises. Reporter now, heres the other problem. Anderson reservoir can only be at 68 capacity. Just a few seconds ago i told that you it is expected to spill over today. And the reason why is because the reservoir is waiting to get upgrades to survive an earthquake. Just a few years ago, experts discovered that this reservoir would fail if there was a 7. 25 magnitude earthquake. And that would send water into morgan hill and san jose. So right now, you know, it was raining a few minutes ago. But we have had a little bit of a break in the rain but again, Anderson Reservoir is expected to spill over later today. For a look at the conditions on the peninsula Sandra Osborne is live in pacifica. Reporter we are next to the Pacifica Municipal Pier where we have been watching some steady and sometimes light rain on and off for the past couple of hours but right now we are starting to get the steady rain back but another thing we have been keeping an eye on has been the waves out here. Some are crashing over the edge so we have had to take a step back from where we were a little closer to the edge. Ones of these waves knocked a light over earlier so we are taking extra cautions out here [chuckling]. After talking with roberta earlier, we know that the swells will rise to about 13 to 15 feet with breakers up to 20 so youre definitely wanting to take caution around here and increased chance for rip current risk. Pacifica has erosion problems in the past. This system and other systems could add to the problems in this area. As they have mentioned the high wind advisory is in place. They are no joke. Thats in place now to 6 p. M. This evening. But still, keep your guard up throughout the weekend because we could see downed trees and power lines, mudslides and, of course, difficulty for driving any highprofile vehicles. I can also let you know that on our way here this morning, heading to the pier, we came across several places with pond popped. Take your time. Live in pacifica, Sandra Osborne, kpix 5. That is good advice with ponding on the roads. Roqui with all that ponding, you have to take it slow. You absolutely have to take it slow especially in the richmond area right now. That rain is coming down so lets take a live look at the Richmond San Rafael bridge. You can see very heavy rain coming down on those cars and a lot of traffic and this is all because of a rollover crash here on westbound 580 at midspan. That crash is cleared but the damage is done and there was a fenderbender in the backup from earlier so thats why the toll plaza is looking so backed up as well so pretty miserable commute across the span of the Richmond San Rafael bridge. Give yourself extra time there to get to where youre going and make sure youre alert and prepared to drive safely and carefully across all bridges throughout the bay area. We have high winds across the span of the bay bridge toll plaza. Heres a live look at that traffic. The maze to downtown will take you about 20 minutes. San francisco southbound 280 the connector to southbound 101 flooding. Caltrans is on the way. Northbound 101 after cesar chavez also flooded in the two right lanes. Ill send it to you. All right, roqui. Thank you. As rain hits the oroville area officials expect a dam that triggered nearly 200,000 evacuations to hold up fine. They are making progress monitoring the dam and spillway. Yesterday operators dialed back the amount of water released on the damaged main spillway. That will allow them to work on restarting the dams hydroelectric plant which can release additional water when its active. A vote is expected today on president Donald Trumps pick to lead the Environmental Protection agency after another marathon session in the senate. Scott pruitt has come under fire for his repeated lawsuits attempting to block epa regulations while Oklahoma Attorney general. Yesterday, a judge ordered pruitt to turn over thousands of emails he exchanged with the oil, gas and coal industry during that time. Democrats took to the senate floor to demand time to review the emails before a vote but it wont happen. The reason to freak out about this one is very simple, clean air and clean water. Scott pruitt is the right person to run the agency and we need to confirm him. The expected vote comes one day after President Trump named his pick to replace andy puzder as labor secretary nominee. Alex acosta is the Law School Dean at Florida International university. And that announcement came in the same News Conference in which the president attacked the press over reports that high level aides contacted russian officials during his campaign. National security adviser Michael Flynn stepped down amid the controversy. President trumps pick to replace flynn turned down the position yesterday over disagreements about staffing causing concerns among National Security experts. If a major crisis develops with iran, with russia, in the middle east, or with north korea, my understanding is the National Security counsel has yet to meet. We dont even have a National Security adviser. Who is going to take responsibility for that crisis . According to cnn, flynn initially told the fbi he did not discuss sanctions with the Russian Ambassador prior to the inauguration. But when challenged by investigators, he said he didnt remember and he is not expected to face charges. Today state senator from the bay area is introducing two bills through the legislature to affect future bart strikes. Steve glazer authored the bills. The first would ban bart strikes. The other would limit their effectiveness by allowing nonunion employees to operate trains during a strike. Currently barts contract bans anyone except a qualified train operator from driving trains and all those operators are members of its union. Time now 6 09. A trip through one of the bay areas most popular attractions could cost you if one lawmaker gets his way. And how a new bill in the assembly could help you rest a little easier. From the kpix weather center, good morning, everyone. At least for the next two hours, we are getting smacked with moderate to heavy rainfall. Ill talk about how all this will impact your holiday weekend. All right. It is 60 09. Heres a live look at the san mateo bridge from hayward to foster city. You have a slow one and an update on the rollover crash on the Richmond San Rafael bridge. Coming up. Hey, bud. You need some help . No, im good. Come on, moe. I have to go. vo we always trusted our Subaru Impreza would be there for him someday. Ok. Thats it. vo we just didnt think someday would come so fast. See ya later, moe. vo introducing the allnew Subaru Impreza. The longestlasting vehicle in its class. More than a car, its a subaru. Strummed guitar you cant experience the Canadian Rockies through a screen. You have to be here, with us. Theres only one way to travel through this natural wonder and get a glimpse of amazing. And thats with a glass of wine in one hand, and a camera in the other, aboard rocky mountaineer. Canadas Rocky Mountains await. Call your travel agent or rocky mountaineer for special offers now. In San Joaquin County, officials are monitori closely. Good morning. Were on storm watch here at kpix 5. Your time check now 6 13. We head to the Anderson Reservoir area where we are anticipating that to overflow its banks. We have details coming up with our storm watch coverage in less than four minutes. In San Joaquin County officials are monitoring river levels very closely. Residents of haven acres trailer park in lathrop are evacuating as water rises. In just the past few weeks, city officials have put together a special Incident Management Team to help. An assemblyman is giving it another try hoping to convince other state lawmakers to dump Daylight Saving time in california. The san jose democrat wants to put the issue to voters but to get it on the ballot, he must first get support from his colleagues in sacramento. This bill would allow the state legislature to get rid of daylight time or change the schedule. Standard time ends for this season march 12. New this morning, San Franciscos recreation and Park Commission has crushed the hopes of the organizer planning a summer of love 50th anniversary festival. City officials rejected an appeal for a permit with some saying its unclear how Many Police Officers would be required to monitor this kind of concert in golden gate park. Audience estimates range from 30,000 to 175,000. The organizer plans to submit another permit request. It could cost soon to drive down lombard in the russian hill neighborhood. The area has been overrun with visitors especially during busy tourist periods. The supervisor mark farrell wants to start charging a toll. It is a quality of life issue. Its a Public Safety issue, the confluence of cars and pedestrians and bicyclists and skateboarders its an accident waiting to happen. I think the idea is excessive. The price of the toll will likely be set after a study later this year. Let the debate begin. A toll wouldnt make a difference. Its a big attraction. You get big buses and Celebrity Homes and get everybody in one big bus . No. The residents dont want that, either. That could be fun. That could be an eticket ride. I think some of the joy of this road is people driving it. But theres no joy for the neighbors. No. You have to say the neighbors knew what they were moving into. They do know that its a popular area. Thats why its so debatable. And were going to solve all the problems of the world right here right now. Have you ever driven it . Yeah. I have roller skated down it. You need to do that. Oh, no. Im not going to do that. [ laughter ] not going to do that. But okay, speaking of driving, lets talk about traffic. Starting with the Richmond San Rafael bridge toll plaza, look at that rain coming down and heavy traffic after three earlier crashes are impacting the Richmond San Rafael bridge commute. Slow westbound 580 across the span after the rollover crash moving at just 10 Miles Per Hour. So if you are heading out this way just give yourself extra time. San mateo bridge from hayward city to foster city slow traffic there between 880 and 101. And then in Scotts Valley we have some good news here highway 17 still down to one lane in each direction between vine hill road and sugarloaf road but those delays have just come down to just 2. 5 miles of backup. So youre moving at 24 Miles Per Hour as opposed to just 8 from the last report here so expect delays on northbound 17 if you are heading there. But looks like its a good time to head that way if you are. Lets talk about mass transit. This is a good idea today because it is coming down out there. Bart is on time. Ace train only numbers 3 and 6 are running today due to weather and floods. Muni and caltrain are on time. Thats your traffic. Roberta, ill send it to you. All right, roqui. Thank you. This is really as bad as it gets for your morning commute as far as precipitation is concerned. 6 17, good morning, everyone. As i take a look at our live hi def Doppler Radar, we have moderate to heavy rainfall. Where you see the green thats light rain. Its been occurring at least since 3 a. M. Theres ponding on the roads. For this particular morning commute, the heaviest rain is pushing in off the ocean through the Santa Clara Valley. If you are driving highway 85 in throughout the sunnyvale area, you have a cell with moderate rainfall. That is heavy through los gatos and tracks through 101 and south towards morgan hill or gilroy. East bay youre seeing a little bit of a break now around hayward. Richmond around 80 into the oakland area towards the bay bridge, its a mess. That 580 680 corridor moderate to heavy rainfall there, as well. And look at the north bay. As im taking a look at my computer models and seeing all this heavy rain and its encompassing highway 37 where we dont need more, its going to stick around for two hours. If you plan accordingly, i know its saying a lot you say you can say that but i got to get to work. Well, its going to be this way for the next two hours. We do have the light to moderate rainfall from the Richmond District throughout the western addition. Look at 16th street. Now theres ponding on the roads there. Same in the Mission Street area. Diamond heights boulevard, you have some localized flooding there this morning. Sfo, youre buying a little bit of a break right now but the damage is done. Twohour delays on some arriving flights. More energy pushing in off the ocean into the santa cruz mountains. This is all lifting up from the south to the north. The hardeth hit area will be around Santa Barbara. Look for the potential of mudslides towards the grapevine so if you are making tracks towards Southern California for this president s day holiday, youre driving directly into the path of this system. In addition the winds are now increasing 16 san jose, 16 to 15 and 14mileanhour winds around the peninsula. Wind gusts exceed 60 Miles Per Hour in the high sierra highest elevations.

Were glad for a break because we have been soaked throughout the morning but were keeping an eye on the waves. We are live at the Pacifica Municipal Pier. Some of the waves have been over the edge to where we are. Im off to the side away from the ocean. Pacifica has issues after storms in the past not just this year but in years past because of erosion. We have seen redtagged buildings on esplanade that had to be demolished because of erosion issues. Those buildings were in danger of actually tumbling over the cliff. They have now been demolished but we are looking at a system now and more as we head throughout the weekend that could potentially add to some issues with erosion along the coastline. So its something were keeping an eye on. We have the high wind advisory. Its in place now all the way through 6 p. M. Tonight along many coastal counties. One thing to note though. Dont let your guard down. Tonight we are going to see more systems, more wind throughout the weekend with the potential for downed power lines and trees, mudslides, even problems with highprofile vehicles. There is ponding on the roads so be safe. Live in pacifica, Sandra Osborne, kpix 5. She just nailed it with the ponding on the roads. Theres definitely hydroplane out there range for hours since about 3 00 this morning. So its starting to take a toll. But it doesnt have to be raining for a tree to go down or a power line at any point. Weekend that could happen due to the over saturation of the soil. Lets get to it 6 32 live hi def Doppler Radar is all lit up as if its christmastime. Green light rain yellow moderate rain orange is more of a heavy downpour. All of this has been pretty much in place since 3 00 this morning which is about a couple of hours now three hours now.

This is subtropical moisture. Again, gusty winds, scattered showers for the afternoon and evening commute, and i havent even talked about the bigger storm on the way. Well address that coming up at 48 minutes after the hour. A bay area reservoir is about to spill over so officials are keeping a close eye on water levels at the Anderson Reservoir. Kpix 5s maria medina is live in morgan hill with the key concerns. Reporter good morning, just yesterday Anderson Reservoir was inches away from spilling over. So it is expected to spill over today. You can see how much water there is over here. This means if it spills over that lowlying areas of coyote creek could flood. Now, heres another concern. Anderson reservoir is only supposed to be at 68 capacity. Right now its at 99 capacity. And the reason for that is is that its waiting to be upgraded to survive an earthquake. A few years ago it was discovered that the reservoir would fail if there was a 7. 25 magnitude earthquake. And that would send water rushing right into morgan hill. And even downtown san jose. As soon as we get that down to the restricted level well breathe a sigh of relief. So here is the other concern. Anderson lake can only take so much water from the reservoir so the first time in a decade the overflow spillway will come in handy if the reservoir does spill over. A break in the rain. It was raining before we arrived here before 5 a. M. But it is pretty gusty and windy and a little cold. Roqui, well send it back to you. I can imagine its cold out there. Incredible. Look at that water so powerful. So be careful. Give yourself plenty of time to get across the span here. Heres a look at the toll plaza. You have backups to canal boulevard there and this is all because of three crashes earlier that are impacting your commute right now. Heading on to the bridge heres a look at the red arrows. Youre moving at just 12 Miles Per Hour so again slow across westbound 580 the Richmond San Rafael bridge. Moving over now to another hot spot heres the Altamont Pass traffic. Youre moving at 30 Miles Per Hour once you hit north flynn road. So north tracy boulevard to the Altamont Pass about 25 minutes. Traveling in Scotts Valley the speeds here have been fluctuating a bit this morning so on highway 17 one lane in each direction between vine hill road and sugarloaf road. So expect delays on northbound 17 as time goes on today. If you want to avoid this area, just in case it gets worse, take branciforte to vine hill road to get beyond the mudslide area where it tends to slow down. Thank you. A day of action is planned across the country to oppose the trump administrations agenda. Organizers are asking americans to skip work and join a demonstration or participate in a day of Public Service.
