are worried about erosion. rob mayeda kicks off the coverage. it's been fairly light so far. >> in most places north of san jose we haven't seen a whole lot. san francisco, you have a lot of clouds and 64 degrees. that's dry golden gate bridge. we have been seeing rain showers over downtown san jose. also 64 degrees. mild temperatures. you see the rain now has moved off towards alem rock and the s sunol grade. a little more approaching the coast. impressive view on the satellite. check out the area of low pressure off the coast of southern california accessing some tropical moisture. that's what makes this system particularly interesting as we have flash flood watches up just to our south from monterey county actually all the way down into southern california, the entire coast south of monterey now seeing flash flood watches as the heavier rains arrive. between this time and 5:00 this evening, not a lot of rain coming down. we think the totals will accelerate upward as we approach 1:00 a.m. some spots could close in on an inch of rain. this is the first of three storms over the next five days. the latest ones you can expect coming up in a few minutes on the second and third storms. >> people in pacifica are holding their breath hoping not to see a repeat of this, where waves take down part of the cliffs where apartments are precariously sitting. that's a story we have been covering for the last year as the seawall crumbles. pete suratos joins us live from pacifica this morning. you had a chance to speak with the city about storm trucks here and given everything that's happened last winter, what is being done differently? >> reporter: good morning, sam. i spoke with the public works department here in pacifica. they tell me they'll continue to monitor the coastal bluffs. you see the waves. it's pretty standard right now. i tell you, when the storm picks up, the waves can ghit 15 feet and jump over the seawall. >> it's pretty when you are looking at it. if it takes you by surprise, it's pretty startling, you know. >> reporter: very valuable warning for folks if you are walking along the pier or promenade. no doubt about that. last winter with the el niño storms we saw the homes evacuated due to concerns of coastal erosion on the cliffs. the city had to make repairs to different parts of the popular promenade. specifically, there was a seawall severely damaged. they'll monitor the bluffs and the seawalls and storm drains in the next few days. the city is reminding folks to do their part to stay out of home's way. >> for the public is knowing their surroundings and stuff as far as the coastal bluffs. that seems to attract a lot of folks to the bluffs to look at the ocean. so just be careful where they're walking and obviously turning your back to the ocean is always not a good idea. >> reporter: remember, a couple of weeks ago the city council here in pacifica voted unanimously to move forward on 12 more repair projects. the seawall that i just mentioned that was in need of repair at the promenade is about 90% finished according to the city official i spoke to this morning. take a look at these waves right now. you can see the weather conditions are looking pretty clear in pacifica. of course, the city will continue to monitor things through the day. we're live in pacifica. pete suratos, nbc bay area news. >>

toward morgan hill. to the east you're seeing showers and rain across the santa cruz mountains. most of the bay area not seeing much. the first line of showers has moved to the east. a little more approaching the north bay into the afternoon, but you can see the system cranking up offshore. it's off to the southwest of southern california. the area of low pressure will track a little more northeast heading towards the evening. that's why evening and overnight we should see the rain rates increasing for parts of the south bay. south to north close to what is a weakening hurricane seymour. some of the midlevel moisture is spilling towards california. it's the connection the weather models have been hinting at for days. what changed is a lot of the moisture is being redirected south of san jose. in the coast and monterey county. soberanes fire burn area under a flash flood watch. if you're heading south the watches extend all the way down. highway 101 into santa barbara and los angeles. very mild right now. that's the other aspect of this storm as it pulls in the subtropical moisture, the air is quite warm. it usually holds extra moisture. between now and 7:30 the rain totals are not expected to be that extensive. highs today in the upper 60s. later tonight and early tomorrow morning the weather models indicate some of the deeper moisture will start to work closer

apartment patio, but the school where she teaches won't allow them inside. bellamy teaches ninth and 11th grade english at san lorenzo high school. and right now her students use decades' old chairs like this one. she says she has been asking the school district for new chairs for three years to no avail. >> i was like, can i get some chairs? is anybody going to order chairs? i have kids getting poked, pinch, bleeding, clothes torn. >> reporter: she raised $700 on go fund me and bought new chairs that meet district criteria from a legitimate school supplier. she thought she solved the problem. she was wrong. >> my admin told me, no, absolutely not. you didn't go through the right process, et cetera. >> reporter: an e-mail from the san lorenzo unified school district reads in part, the issue here is the chairs were purchased without any approval from an unauthorized vendor amongst other things. for future, ms. bellny can certainly request for a vendor to be reviewed for considerations. the school district tells me they just bought $12,000 worth of new student desks and chairs for the students that should arrive within the next few weeks. but that's still too long of a wait for this teacher, who is now stuck with 24 chairs that she won't need. >> i am just tired. i am fed up. it's not fair that my kids have to sit in that kind of condition. >> making matters worse

it has the condo owners there fuming. >> reporter: pat dodson owns a unit on the 42nd floor of the millennium tower. she says she is tired of the finger pointing over who is to blame over the sinking building's problems. >> there is no reason not to go forward and fix the building. it's only getting worse. >> reporter: she is especially upset by the latest twist in the blame game. the city of san francisco has just filed legal papers arguing that the condo owners themselves are to blame for their problems. specifically, the city says, the owners knew about the sinking problem for more than a year and failed to do everything reasonably possible to fix the problem. the city says owners knew about the issue at least as early as june 2015 but did nothing. even as the building continues to sink, the city argues there has actually been no damage to the units other than negative public perceptions due to bad publicity. the city says owners still have unimpaired use and enjoyment of each of their units. in the legal documents, the city argues the residents should go after the developer, millennium partners. it also says the residents should go after the architects and engineers saying the city is immune from liability. >> the city knows better. clearly the building is not stable and not secure at this point from the risk of an earthquake. >> reporter: nbc bay area news. >> at some point hopefully that gets cleared up. we're seeing plenty of rain out there, rob. where is it concentrated right now? >> the south bay. you see the storm has access to a lot of subtropical moisture
