The Russian River where the water levels rising. We will let you know when the water will crest. Developing news out of chicago. Donald trump has canceled a rally after protestors clashed with his supporters. People that live along the Russian River breathing a sigh of relief. They have gotten rain but it appears that the river will not hit flood stage. Bill martin in the Weather Center. A close call to people out there. Definitely. Last nights rain really backed off or we would have had flood levels on the Russian River and the napa. We had warnings last night but the rain not as heavy as we saw last night or as we saw the night before and not as much as anticipated. A big break on the Russian River. The Flood Warning is done in bernville. Mark ibanez is live. You are at Johnsons Beach, right . Reporter thats right. And at Johnsons Beach and the river, we have been watching activity over the last few hours since 1 00 this afternoon. To put this in perspective. You see the water behind me and we roll video and this is what it would look like for the middle of summer, temperatures 100 degrees. The area i am standing the water level is coming up quite a bit as we shift over to it. There is water levels changing a bit. And i will say last week at this time this river was only at about six feet. Last check the river stage was 26. 1 feet. Over the past 7 days, this water level has come up 20 feet. And as far as you talked about the Flood Warning, when i saw the update this morning for the River Forecast Center, i called them right away and asked what changed and they were looking at the rainfall so if you remember they were forecasting closer to a 35 feet stage and that is why there is a Flood Warning and high flood stage across the region. With the rainfall backing off. The water level is not nearly as high. To put this in perspective the crest it 48 feet. That is way above my head. You can see the water and transformation. It is interesting. I used to work at channel 50 in santa rosa so i did many a flood stories and i have been in those positions where you are. You are in a parking lot down by the river and we used to stick a stick in the water and on a day like today you would watch the water rising steadily. Is it doing that today . Reporter yes, the current is moving quickly. The huge trees go by us every five or ten minutes, a strong current. As far as the water level rising, we came here at 25 feet and it has come up a bit, up to a foot around 26. 1 feet. You bring up a good point. This is the entrance to Johnsons Beach. The cars coming in here and parking and the cars submerged right about here and this is the entrance to the parking lot. And it is amazing to be here and i learned to swim and it looks different to be standing right here with all of this water surrounding me. Big river flooding we are seeing that in the west or in the plains right now with the rain they have had. Big river flooding and small river flooding it comes up slow. As you stand there i am sure the water will come up a few inches. A slow burn on these rivers. But as you point out the River Forecast Center has capped this thing well below flood stage. I will say that a lot of the residents know this river well. They have their markers to talk about when the water is cresting at 32 feet. They know the behavior of the river well and this week there was some concern but not reaching the level that we could be talking about a major flood event. Thanks for going out there. Well see you at the 6 00 broadcast and in a el nino year it can be problematic and the reason we are getting by it because we are getting breaks but the way we were going the river forecast have had it well above flood stage, three or four feet above flood stage to cause problems and minor problems. Flood stage on the Russian River is 32 feetand right now at 25. 6 and 26 feet and that will continue to rise tonight and the high tide out of jenner will add to that but not anticipating big problems because along the coast and in than anticipated. D less rain about an inch and a half to two inches in the heaviest locations. With that id,sa the Flood Warnings gone for the napa river and the russian ver, a flood watch remains in effect for that entire north bay through sunday because we have more rain coming but the difference here is these weather systems now and they all have personalities, weather systems and this was a very el nino system. You felt it. It was warm. Warm today. Checkouts now. Upper 40s. Cold outside. Frontal passage, cold air ha moved in. This next system for saturday is a colder, dryer system. So when it comes in, it wont have as much rain and drop snow levels which is great. Exactly what we needecause this system, it was raini. Just turned to snow at pass level. This next storm that comes in tomorrow afternoon will be dropping snow at lower elevations. Now we can contain because think about this rain that came in, i dont know what percentage but a High Percentage is running back in the bay. When you capture the snow then it has longevity and can last through the spring months. Raining towards saratoga and the system is moving through. Translating which is exactly what you want. Not stalling out. Here we are saturday morning. There is the forecast. This is the next system the colder one. Here it comes, the line right here. Saturday at lunchtime and then wam goes through and cool system. Not a lot of moisture with it. But there will be a chance of a thunderstorm. So as we look at the forecast highs tomorrow. Upper 50s and some low 60s but forecasting upper 60s and mid 60s so temperatures ten degrees cooler. These two systems scattered showers and maybe a thundershower but you will still have opportunities to get outside on saturday and sunday, not like the last couple of day asen would he get breaks. The key, the Russian River is fascinating because it is such a big animal. It has 1500 miles of drainage basin that feeds that little spot mark in the canyon. So that has to drain out. When it stopped raining today we were like that is great because that river was going to go to about 35 to 36 feet, maybe higher. I am confused, if it didnt hit flood stage how is it where the area where mark is, it is flooded . It is kind of like a flood plane. If you have boat ramps and things, a wide open area. Nowhere near town and nowhere near structures. Remote area. Pretty remote. The napa river, they dropped the Flood Warning up there for saint helena and that was for tonight and tomorrow. I was trying to remember the last time the rivers flooded. It has been awhile. Yes. Back when frank and i were up there. We had a lot of flooding. It seemed like it was almost every year. Pretty good news. More rain to come you guys but not the copias amounts we have seen. A group of anti trump protestors. To the point where donald trump canceled the event.
