Throughout the day, marcus and laura. Lets get to today in the bays pete suratos, he is live in San Francisco. Pete, whats the warning officials have for people about the water right now . Reporter good morning to you guys. As you mentioned, that tsunami watch has been canceled but they still want folks to stay away from the coastline here in San Francisco for at least the next 12 hours. Right where were standing near the marina in San Francisco you see the water here, this is considered what would be a tsunami zone so folks would have to be prepared to evacuate. As we swing over to our right side, this is where you would see the homes that would have to prepare for an evacuation. Lets show you guys that tweet where the department of emergency sent out that tweet saying that the tsunami watch had been canceled but to stay away from the coastline for the next 12 hours. These are the areas that would eventually have to evacuate if a tsunami was to hit. Theyre always telling folks to prepare in those areas in the event of t you can see the marina green in that presidio area is one of those areas. As far as staying prepared, you want to have a go bag ready to go with water and extra clothes, a first aid kit, practice a plan where you should meet, who to contact and get to know your neighbors who could help with what, that would be very helpful. Take you back out here live, were near the water where if there was a tsunami these are some of the areas of concerning, but the important thing to take away is stay prepared and stay away from the coastline for the next 12 hours. Live in San Francisco, pete suratos for today in the bay. Lets go to today in the bays bob redell now, he is live in santa cruz. There were big expectations as to what could happen if a tsunami would hit our area, we were under a watch. I know youve covered this in the past when we had great concern there for the santa cruz coastline. Reporter well, good morning, laura and marcus. Santa cruz harbor for patrol agents did go and wake up the people who the some people who live on these boats behind me in the Santa Cruz Harbor, they were up early this morning once they heard about that watch to wake them up and say, listen, this area is under watch, you hide to be aware in case you might need to leave at a moments notice. Fortunately that did not happen but people in santa cruz are well aware of what happened in 2011 that was after the earthquake in japan, 1,000 miles away caused a tsunami to come into this harbor and it caused a lot of damage, about 17 ships were sunk, more were damaged and the damage estimate was at least 17 million. So this is something that people who were here five, six, seven, eight years ago are familiar with and they know to take these sort of things seriously. I did just get off the phone with the National Weather service and piggybacking off of what pete was talking about, the National Weather service says that the bay area could expect some sort of, quote, tsunami experience. Im not talking about a big wave or anything like that, they said it might be a one or two inch wage. We wont be able to see with our own eyes, but over the next six to 12 hours there would be increased current activity. If you are a small boat or especially in the golden gag or Santa Cruz Harbor, a kayaker you could see increased current activity. Dont go out. Wait for the six to 12 hours to pass. If you are a swimmer in the open water dont be surprised if you do go out there that some of those currents might sweep you off into an area you are not used to, bob redell, today in the bay. Meantime in alaska thousands fleeing their homes after that 7. 9 earthquake actually struck off the coast. Today in the bays kris sanchez is live at the usgs in menlo park with the latest there. Kris, any reports of damage that weve seen from this . Reporter we havent seen reports of damage but certainly the focus right now has been on getting people to Higher Ground in alaska. Their tsunami watch has been rather than tsunami warning has been downgraded to a watch and advisory at this point, but this is what folks woke up to overnight. This is not a drill. This is an actual tsunami warning. Everybody get at least 100 feet above sea level. Within minutes of that we started seeing video of people taking that advice very seriously. This is video of a line of folks evacuating kodiak, alaska, by car. It is south of anchorage in the gulf of alaska, to getting to Higher Ground will be critical for those folks. It seemed pretty orderly, but folks are clearly rattled. I got dressed and came out to my living room and i have a great view of downtown and, you know, all the traffic goes by my house on the evacuation road at the high school, im about two blocks from the high school so i was watching all the people walk. From downtown and coming up and walking across the street and some cars werent even slowing down to stop to let them pass. Reporter now, i have a friend and former colleague who is a meteorologist with the National Weather service, you can follow me on twitter to see how hes tracking this tsunami threat there in alaska.

Its up here 780 the connector between interstate 80 and 680 eastbound is where the crash was reported at South Hampton road. Thats not a major commute spot but it does involve a tanker truck so im following that. Sounds like everything is off to the Center Divide and a distraction. Also a distraction the fog in the north bay, rio vista, then the break where the crash is and more fog over through novato. That will be an issue for highway 37 and 101 this morning. Light traffic flow throughout the area keeps things moving well. Despite that fog we have these travel times down through to the Golden Gate Bridge for 101 without delay. Thank you, mike.

They do remarkable work and they save these animals and, you know it is. Isnt that cool . Smoky, im sure that dog is like, yeah, thats funny, guys. My name is rover. Youve been tracking fog this morning. We have had some fog rolling by, especially in the north bay, im starting to see it in San Francisco, too. As we go throughout the day we are going to see that fog clearing and some sunshine in the forecast. Its going to be a nice one. Lets get a look at what im seeing on the camera. You can see it drift on by, you can see it moving across the camera right now. Really cool start. As we get out the door on this Tuesday Morning and as you get a look at that sevenday forecast at the bottom of the screen some sunshine rolling through, but by tomorrow that rain will be returning. So we will be tracking that. Look at how cool it is now in the north bay, napa 35 degrees and its 41 degrees in livermore. We will also have to watch out with that fog, there may be a few icy spots on the roadways, those elevated bridges and roads. But in the south bay with our temperatures in the mid 40s no worries about that, weve also had mainly clear visibility and then with that sunshine our temperatures gradually warm up as you head out for lunch we will be at 55 degrees. Our high temperatures today reaching up to 59, in livermore 57 degrees there, oakland 57 degrees and 54 today in San Francisco. Here is our next round of rain, we can see the swirl of the clouds, that rain thats moving into the Pacific Northwest and this will be sliding southward along the coast and making it into our north bay by late tomorrow afternoon. Then it continues to make its way into the south bay as we go into the evening. So here is a look at the timeline, by 2 00 its moving through santa rosa and napa and approaching San Francisco and then it makes its way into the peninsula as well as the east bay by that evening commute. So its going to be a soggy one tomorrow and you do have to plan accordingly and then scattered showers continue into thursday as well. We are looking at the possibility of getting at least a half inch of rain and then seeing some higher amounts in a few spots where we do get those heavier downpours. While we get heavy rain we will have the potential of getting up to two feet of snow in parts of the sierra from kang vale down to twin bridges and Higher Elevations getting a pretty good amount of snow. The rest of our forecast clears out in time for the weekend, that includes the sierra, too. If you are going that way for this weekend you will have fresh powder on the ground and then were going to feel our temperatures warming up here for the inland areas, chilly start, but seeing those highs into the mid 60s. We will talk more about the sierra coming up in about 20 minutes, but mike is saying its really calm for most of our commuters. Thats right. Right now really calm, were just getting started. You see that volume build in places like the bay bridge. I want to show you south bay all the way into the city, through oakland and the east bay an easy flow of traffic. The only thing that stands out on our maps is this fog throughout the north bay as kari is talking about. Colder temperatures and the fog could result in that mist freezing on the roadway, but no reports of any problems from chp up there just yet. 780 eastbound that crash reported in the Center Divide. If you connect from interstate 80 over to 680 and the benicia bridge those are the only folks concerned with that and of course the semitruck driver. An easy drive throughout the east bay approaching the bay bridge, no problems over through emeryville and no delays for these transit systems. 45 trains now on time for bart, actually probably more by now. A live look shows you the view from the toll plaza side over in towards San Francisco. An easy flow, picking up the volume and there is a backup for the workday, guys. Thats a beautiful shot, though.
