consistently rainy. >> next day on into tomorrow morning. so rain jackets back out this morning for sure. you're look outside right now. as far as satellite and radar is concerned, we are seeing some widespread rainfall across parts of the state and look at that snow really coming down in the sierra. we're in for as far as snowfall goes all through the day today into early tomorrow morning. talk in the feet of snowfall piling up there in those upper elevations. well, here in the bay will be able to measure rain inches in some spots. we are seeing those pockets of heavier rainfall that i mentioned yesterday in a few areas. let's take a first look over here at northern napa county. look at this area of heavy rain that's working its way into the northern edge of napa valley at saint. helene are right there. calistoga little bit further southward. you can see just how heavy this rainfall is working its way. generally in a southeasterly direction. and as it does so will impact areas along 80 like vacaville and fairfield here in a matter of hours. so i'm going to be taking a look at the showers as they do move across the bay just make sure to note that we do have some heavier stuff mixed in with these lighter showers out there. one. 0, one from santa rosa petaluma nevado down through centerville mill valley. also wet from these light showers that are pushing overhead there. some heavier rainfall in the western edge of mount tam, as you can see. and then we're also seeing some light sprinkles here and there from concord walnut creek, oakland, you're actually under a pocket of heavy rainfall there. the very southeastern edge of the city right between oakland and san leandro do have a heavier area of rainfall there. san francisco, mostly on the light side right now. little bit of a break from the rain on much of the peninsula as well as the south bay, although the tri valley into the mountains, they're seeing some areas of moderate shower activity. more and more. this rainfall is about to shift on into the bay over the next few minutes. see maybe quiet areas like redwood city down to san jose. but the energy is pushing your direction. so just to get ready for it, just because you do see some quiet spots today doesn't mean that it's going to stay that way for long. as far as the sierra nevada goes, we're snow-packed as we speak up along highway 50 as well as i-80 both of these routes covered in snow in feet of snowfall, going to be piling up at the crest in see your passes. your mountain passes of the sierra. so today's not the day to be heading up there. i would wait until at little earliest tomorrow afternoon. even better saturday morning. as far as future cast goes on and off showers and you see these pockets of heavy rain that continue to push on into the bay area today. those pockets will really up our rainfall totals in localized areas. pretty quickly. and we do have the potential of an afternoon thunderstorm, maybe even a few rules of thunder before that, too. so be keeping you updated. keeping an eye on those pockets as they move through. we're going to get a midday break from the rain. but then it's going to resurge on into the evening tonight. temperatures today will 50's is our current range of numbers. it's actually a very mild start to this morning. so just focus on the rain jacket. alameda and oakland, 58 degrees. allay you're at 53 right now. later on today. daytime highs only in the 60's much as we've got used to on and off rainfall chance of thunderstorms keeping you updated on all of it. so stay with us right now. john, thank you for all that great information. all right. let's look at your bridges right now. i'm seeing any delays. >> along the bay bridge as you're heading into

of the appeal. this comes as a new poll by political shows more than half of americans supported the mask mandate. 84% of the support came from democrats. well, 35% were from republicans. now we spoke with a legal expert to make sense of all the back and forth. we've been seen kron four's. taylor is actually has that story. >> after the cdc said that wearing a mask remains necessary for public health. the u.s. justice department is appealing a ruling by a federal judge. the end of the nationwide mask mandate for planes and public transportation. on monday. the department of justice, i think is appealing in part because they don't want. >> a trial court ruling a district court that says cdc when it comes to things like mask mandates, your authority is really, really small. and i think it that they're correct to want to appeal that loyola law. professor jessica levinson says the appeal will examine a federal law known as the public health service act district. judge kathryn kimball mizelle who void the mask mandate. >> relied in part on her interpretation of the term sanitation included in that law. what we're focused on right now is what can the cdc do when it comes to this language in a federal law that says cdc, you have authority when it comes to sanitation and quote, other measures. and that's what we're litigating right now. robinson says mizelle's opinion of the cdc's ability to respond to public health emergencies could potentially have a lasting effect on the cdc's authority. do you appeal it to you? just leave it there? >> and say, look, it's just one district court judge, where do you peel up to the 11th circuit and then maybe up to the supreme court, as you said, and it comes to a lot of issues. there is a risk of more and more bad decisions if the 11th circuit court of appeals says no, you're right. you really should read the cdc's authority that nearly then its decision upon decision. i'm taylor bisacky reporting kron. 4 news. bar dropped the cdc's mask mandate for all riders. but one bart official is already proposing to bring it back. >> bart board, president rebecca saltzman, talk with us on air yesterday. she says she plans to

along with some sunshine at times and heavy rain at other times. your view outside right now is definitely great. we've got those showers meandering their way across the bay, mostly at an easterly direction. snow up in the lake county mountains and snow. also notably up in the sierras, really going to put a standstill to a lot of your travel plans up into the sea air today. but great to be

clearing right across the region. we're going to see a brief break between the 2 into the middle of the day and all plotted out here to future cast. so isolated pockets of heavy rain will continue through the morning. you will be seeing light showers for the most part, but i'll be keeping you updated on when those pockets do pop up and where they'll be heading. as for the sierra just consistent snowfall that doesn't change that sun all day long. kind of thing by 10:00am. we actually see that first line of showers leaving? and we get a little break from the rainfall before resurgence of it.

pop up here and there specially out towards the central valley. another little break here and there. but by the evening tonight, well, up to the sun goes down, the heaviest of rainfall for the south bay moves in. that's going to be making its way and again, well after sunset. so hopefully you'll be all settled in by that point. you just listen to the rain from the dry coziness being inside about
