Highway 37 in novato remains closed right now. This is the Third Straight day that section of the highway has been closed. Briefly thursday one lane of traffic was open east bound but once the rain started falling the flood waters moved back in. And caltrans is using pumps around the clock to try to move the water away from the highway. Forget about getting to tahoe. At least in any reasonably easy eay. A large mudslide has closed a stretch of i 80. And the chp says crews are working hard and fast to get the mess cleared up. The chp in truckee released video at photos. Saying that if theres any good news. Its the fact that chain controls have come down for the parts of 80 which remain open. A mudslide is blocking 80 near baxter in the sierra. So if youre headed to tahoes north shore it will take you extra time. Westbound lanes were highway 20. And eastbound at it immediately lanes will reopen. Also. And its major mudslide mountains. Highway 50 in kyburz is on the peninsula. Heres video of crews working to dig out highway 84 in woodside this afternoon. That stretch has been closed east of skyline for days now because of a landslide on one side of the road and a washout on the other. They are hoping to have one lane open to traffic today but the over saturated soil is making it tough. Kron4s Maureen Kelly reports that this is not the only major artery closed in that mountain community, making it tough for those trying to get around. Closed. Blocked. And detoured. Driving anywhere in the mountains around woodside has been a challenge. The intermitent rain was the least of motorists troubles today. Take a listen to one driver explaining what conditions were like this afternoon. Its been crazy you cant take skyline to the 92 you cant go 84 into woodside i have a Remote Control to go down bear gulch road they wont even let me go there. This is what it looked beyond the barricades on highway 9 east of skyline. One of many places drivers had to turn around. Like these movers. We are on a schedule we were supposed to do load up a house and now we have to go all the way around. I met one long time resident who tried to talk her way around this closure. Im tring to get to my post office i just moved some cones. I was hoping to get away with this but i cant the roads opened just to locals are still full of small hazards. Like rockslides spilling into the street. Roadsides have turned into waterfalls. He res one spot on old la honda road. That looks like a mudslide in the making. Making a very narrow road even more tricky to drive on. That road is dangerous its not meant for two cars going both directions and then you got bicyclists on it too makes it even more dangerous its crazy. But not all of the signs up here are bad news. For those who like to look on the bright side. At least the fire danger here is low. Maureen kelly kron4 news.

They wont have to use an emergency spillway. A move that could have had catastrophic consequences downstream. Water will continue to pour down the concrete spillway. The bottom half is almost completely eroded away. You can see the water turning brown as it flows out of the breach and onto the surrounding hillside. With the water in Lake Oroville just five feet from the top of the dam, officials had been predicting theyd have to use an emergency spillway to the left. Heres how it looks on google earth. It would spill water onto open land, potentially sending a tidal wave of trees and debris into the Feather River below. Today, they said that wont be necessary. Lake oroville is one states the biggest reservoirs. Its currently at 96 percent of capacity. Nearly 150 percent of its historical average at this time of year. Shasta, the biggest in the state, is at 92 percent of capacity, also well above average. Smaller trinity lake nearby, is two thirds full, about average. East of sacramento, folsom lake is three quarters full, 141 percent of normal. And new melones lake, a vital water source for Central Valley rarners, is just half full, still below average, the storms are filling up the reservoirs with rain. But another factor is the unseasonably warm weather that is melting the snow pack, the source of a lot of the states water in the summer months.

The Trump Administration apparently will not go to the Supreme Court in an effort to reinstate its travel ban. At least not right away. Today they said that will not be their first move. A white house official says the administration will probably argue the merits of the ban in district court. Rather than appeal a restraining order to the Supreme Court.

The president also seems to be leaving open the possibility that his team could rework the original executive order. Which temporarily halted entry to the u. S.

At six well tell you who helped get them out to safety. And we have the video. Plus. Well show you the new maps just released that puts the states drought problem in perspective. Thats coming up at six. But now lets get back to the news at five. Hard to believe its already that time of year again, but spring training for the giants begins next week. The offseason certainly came and went. Before the team heads off to scottsdale, theyll officially open the new season this weekend with their annual fanfest at at t park. Fans will get a chance to meet their favorite players and coaches. Mark carpenter talked with some of the team today. And joins us with more. Mark . From watching the players and coaches greet each other, it really felt like it was the first day of school again. Everyone enjoys the offseason, but you could tell they are ready to get back to work. Last year marked the First Time Since 2010 the giants were eliminated from the playoffs. That means some extra time off, so lets hear what the giants were up to over the last several months. My wifes got family over in europe, so we went to italy and i just love to eat too, now that i think about it. I got married. That was pretty bigpretty low key, saw some family that i havent seen. I went to bermudaits good to see all the guys today. They looked energized and this fanfest i think will just get them more fired up to get to scottsdale and get going. But before the giants get back on the grind, some players still couldnt get over how last season ended. After having the best record in the league through the first half of the year, the orange and black. Stumbled in the second half and barely made it to the postseason. It all came to a head in game 4 of a Division Series against the chicago cubs. When the eventual worldseries champions erased a threerun deficit in the 9th innning to advance to the nlcs. Sometimes teams are destined and last year was the cubs year. We felt great about our team, the last two weeks of a playoff stint. There were so many spectacular moments and a lot to build off of to really grab and grow into a 2017 campaign. With a solid starting rotation thats loaded with aces, the giants added some key fire power in the spot they needed it most. By signing closer mark melancon, the hope is hell be the anchor of a bullpen. That racked up a record 32blown saves last season. Obviously, we got who we think is one of the best closers in the game and we can work down and we think with the arms that we have and the experience from last year, its only going to make them better. Its exciting. I think to have four guys throw 200 innings last year on the rotation. Matty combined from the al and the nl. I dont think you see that too often. So i think thats a goal wed like to have out there for us again and just to keep pitching deep into games and give a chance to win games. To have a starter go out there everyday with a chance to win a game themselves its pretty cool. Itll be a packed house tomorrow at at t park. The event starts at 10 am. And it is free and open to the public. As we look live at the golden gate bridge. The reports of weatherrelated problems across the bay just keep coming. Highway 84 in woodside is now open again.
