What kind marry what it looks like outside this morning. Kind of feel like im working outside. Well see the rain through this morning and afternoon and all moves out. Lets take a live look outside right now at the bay bridge. You can see those lights moving across the bay bridge. Looking good there. As we are starting out with some rain this morning and you may have to deal with some slick roads at times, but weve seen this moving through San Francisco and now its approaching san jose. Severely heavy rain at least to start out. We get a closer look at whats happening here. As we do see that rain moving down the peninsula and also across parts of the east bay and you can see that as it moves in. The bright reds and the yellows show the more intense rain as it continues to advance into the south bay. Our temperatures now in the lower 40s in livermore and san jose 43 degrees and also 43 in napa. Lets take it it hour by hour because, once again, this rain will be here during the Morning Hours and then by 11 00 starts to move on out of here as our temperatures warm up. Wont be that warm today. Well only see those highs in the mid50s today. And the showers will start to sink to the south by 10 00 or 11 00. And then by 3 00, 4 00, 5 00, we are just getting a few breaks in the clouds. Into tonight, we will have mostly cloudy skies. We start out the day tomorrow with some clouds and then look at what happens as we go into the afternoon. Some more rain moving in. We will see the showers at least for the afternoon to evening hours and then moving out by thursday morning. So between these two systems we are looking at the most maybe 0. 4 and at the least 0. 1. In parts of the south bay. As we head into the weekend, our temperatures will be much warmer. It is looking like an awesome weekend. Highs in the upper 60s, even hitting 70 degrees in the north bay by sunday. And a lot of sunshine to go along with it. Lets check in now with mike taking us to the north bay. Looking towards san rafael where the rain has come through and left slick roadway and minor puddling. Well show you the map because not a lot of traffic. The green highlighted throughout 101 novato down to the Golden Gate Bridge slick conditions there. Moving across the east shore freeway and a crash reported right around the coliseum. Ill swing that camera around and see if we can find it on the roadway. So far no major injuries and theres the green as we see through the east bay and now more rain coming down to the south bay as kari reported. Talk about San Francisco and why some of these folks will have to watch this system, as well, through the next few days. Thank you very much, mike. Today we could learn more of possible job cuts. We turn to landon dowdy who joins us live and a good Tuesday Morning to you. Hi, there, guys. A good tuesday to you, as well. Wall street could see red arrows and futures are lower this morning and stocks sharp early losses on monday to end nearly flat and comments from the top Federal Reserve official about potential Interest Rate hikes this year offsetting a big drop in oil prices.

The focus on the celebrations from the south bay to San Francisco have also become a grand stage for protesting groups. Last night uber drivers protested pay cuts staged a demonstration from Candlestick Park all the way to uber headquarters. Snarling traffic in the process for hours. They wanted their voices heard. This will wake them up. You know, its like david and goliath. 40,000 driver partners throughout the bay area and i think for many of them our message to them is that we realize that, you know, price cuts are difficult. And we mentioned a series of groups protesting. There was the justice for mario woods coalition, which welcomed the nfl to San Francisco during weekend festivities. Theyre calling for police reform. Police say people do have the right to protest, but not to break the law. 4 49. Happening today.

Libby shaft is not involved in talks with the raiders, but believes a deal will get done. The Coliseum Authority is handling negotiations for the lease extension with davis. Well, a tough decision for one School District grappling with an idea that most parents probably wish they did not have to think about. A San Francisco unified Schools Committee voted last night to support a plan to expand the Districts High School Condom Availability Program to middle schools. Planners say it would still be difficult for students to get and they would first have to receive counseling from a school nurse or from a social worker. Parents are very divided about this idea. Theyre only in sixth grade. Sixth or eighth grade. No, im not in favor of that. Go for it. They need to be speaking to an adult. Well, a recent survey found about 5 of middle School Students are sexually active and only 3 use condoms. The full board will now consider the plan and decide whether or not to approve it. Coming up, who would throw away a puppy, yet alone a dozen. It happened in the bay area. How you can help. You know a lot of people are talking about how cold it is. That asknd apparently some sporting event that is coming up. Kari you are looking at that satellite radar. Heavy downpours and also moving across parts of the peninsula. We will see this rain off and on through at least the 9 00 hour.

Didnt see any inactivity and no lanes blocked and we did see a caravan of a larger vehicle. Had basically a structure and houses on the back of their trailers moving south and they moved through without any problem all around the bend and that does indicate clear traffic flow right here. Moved the camera south and didnt see any slowing. Look at your map and leave that for 880 right around the coliseum area. The green indicates slicker roadways and one live camera out there being palo alto. The rain hasnt reached 101 at university but well track things with kari. Back to you. No details and a no contest plea for the owner of a south bay nudist camp who is accused of stealing water. Authorities say the owner in 2014 repeatedly trespassed and illegally diverted water from the nearby creek. Prosecutors dropped charges against three other people, but yesterday the resorts owner agreed to a no contest plea avoiding jailtime. Instead, shell receive probation and community service. A hopeful outcome to a heartless story. A half a dozen puppies recovering after someone found them in a San Francisco dumpster. San francisco spca says a hair salon worker was taking out the trash when she noticed a moving bag in the dumpster sealed tight. Inside, six Border Collie puppies. The dogs are four months old.
