Live, from the cbs bay area studios, this is kpix5 news. A Flash Flood Watch for parts of the bay area right now. And get ready. Even more rain is on the way. We have your complete storm coverage. But first, breaking news after six months without a chief of police. Oakland has just hired this woman to head that citys troubled department. Kpix5 broke the news first. And joe vasquez is outside opd right now with what we know about oaklands first female top cop. Joe . Reporter all right liz, we started getting word out of chicago this evening and we were able to come firm with sources here in oakland that this city is about to get its new top cop. Ann kirkpatrick from the Chicago Police department is the new police chief according to sources in the bay area. Mayor libby schaaf plans to make the announcement tomorrow morning following a series of meetings. Kirkpatrick was the head of development in the Chicago Police Department June of last year, before that, 2012 to 2014. She was the chief deputy at the King County Sheriffs Department in seattle. Before that, she was the chief in spokane. In her most recent post in chicago, she was selected to oversee reforms laid out by the former mayor after a white officer shot a black teenager 16 times. In spokane, she led the department through reforms as well Holding Police officers accountable. Two Police Officers ended up suing her because they believe she unjustly fired them. I am here to run a police department. Not a frat house. Reporter last june, the mayor replaced her police chief following a series of scandaled involving one with a teenager who claimed to have sex with dozens of bay area officers. Then the mayor replaced two interim chiefs. Oakland had three chiefs in the course of nine days. To root out what is clearly a toxic macho culture. Reporter city administrator sabrina has been in charge of the department ever since. Tomorrow morning, the mayor will announce Anne Kirkpatrick will be oaklands First Female Police chief. She hasnt made the announcement officially. Right joe . Reporter right, no confirmation from the mayors office. We understand some of the staffers here at city hall are a little upset because the news starts coming out of chicago this evening. They had to send a missive that this is the case. All right. Thanks joe. As we mentioned kirkpatrick is coming to oakland from chicago with 2016 was the windy citys deadliest year in several decades. There was a surge in gun violence. 762 murders up 57 from the year before. The largest increase in 60 years. Again, we are expecting to hear much more about the new chief tomorrow morning. We will have complete coverage on air and on our website, cbssf. Com. Well, now to our wet weather. We are not done with it yet. More rain is on its way. We have you covered conight with live storm team coverage. We begin with kpix5s chief meteorologist paul deanno. Paul . A lot of rain still in the bay area. Also, a lot of wind, we are see wind gusts in excess of 50 miles an hour in mount diablo. Spring valley. And los gatos hills. In the north bay, you have seen the most rain. It is raining in vallejo, napa, santa rosa, petaluma, mill valley. Dry in oakland and San Francisco. But, you head further south, it is raining steadily in san jose. In the past ten hours it has been pouring in the Santa Cruz Mountains and will likely continue to do so. Wind advisory expires in two hours. We will still see wind gusts 40 to 45 miles an hour over the next few hours. In the Santa Cruz Mountains you have been the bulls eye. Already, just over the past 24 hours, more than four inches of rain in Boulder Creek. In marin county, two inches of rainfall in woodacre. This is the beginning of a wet wintery pattern there. The highest peak ins the syria, four to five feet of snow from this one storm by thursday morning with wind gusts there 70 to 80 miles an hour. This is the weaker of the two storms. We will talk storm number two coming up. It has been snowing like crazy in the sierra. In fact, the first snow survey of the season was today. Surveyors trekked through knee deep snow and found the depth of about 34 inches. That is only 53 of normal, but a lot more snow is on the way. And emily turner reports with all the new snow comes an avalanche warning for the back country. Reporter while the snow is great for those who want to hit the slopes and enjoy it an also for californias drought, when there is this much snow in such a short amount of time, it comes with some safety concerns. 20 inches of powder overnight. This winters storm has made the sierra a skiers paradise. It has been a really good holiday. It is so much fun. The snow is so deep and so light. It feels like you are floating. Reporter but unfortunately, all that light airy snow makes for dangerous conditions. An avalanche warning is in full effect until thursday morning. While skiers and boarders are out enjoying the slopes, the staff is keeping a close eye on their conditions. We have a ski Patrol Safety Team going out every day to check the safety conditions of the mountain. Every trail we open, we make sure it is suitable for guests and employees. Reporter this storm is expected to dump five feet of snow through thursday morning and almost two feet fell overnight making Hazardous Conditions on the road as well. So while the powder may be the prize, the authorities want you to be careful getting there to enjoy it. Any closures are closed for a reason. We ask people not to go past closure signs. So definitely one of those things where you need to respect the trail safety crew. And, stay where the trails are open. Reporter for those of you looking to get up here to the sierra, you have to have chains or fourwheel drives and snow tires. And just to give you an idea, the very early hours of today, it took us almost four hours to get to sierra at tahoe from San Francisco. In sierra in tahoe, emily turner, kpix5. Meanwhile, the Santa Cruz Mountains are seeing heavy rainfall. There is a Flash Flood Watch through the night and tomorrow morning. Kpix5s kiet do joins us live at the summit. 60 miles an hour gusts and the rain, you are getting hammered. [ laughter ] reporter yeah. This is just unreal. It has been coming down like this since the earliest afternoon. We are talking nine or ten straight hours of pounding rain coming down like cats and dogs. As a result, Santa Cruz County is now under an urban and small stream flood advisory. That expires just before midnight tonight. We just got off the home with the sheriff deputy dispatchers. They are not working any flooding incidents right now. At least not yet. Surprisingly. Pineapple express storm number one for the week arrived in time for the south bay evening commute making it more miserable than it already is. About a half inch of rain and Numerous Accidents combined with the first day back for many tech workers meant some commute routes took us twice as long. As we head into the Santa Cruz Mountains, signs that the ground is getting saturated are everywhere. Small rock and mud slides around blind corners forced slide cars to swerve out of the way. Several hours of heavy rainfall were too much for this section of blue ridge drive near Boulder Creek. Crews installed bags of sand and concrete to limit further damage. Jennifer bloom has lived up here 35 years. So we are used to it. We all have backup fire. We get by. Gas. So we are good. Reporter here in Downtown Boulder creek, they got some of the heaviest rain today in the bay area. By nightfall, the town had gotten about four inches. You have to love the rain. I have lived here a long time. 30 years. This rain is no joke. I know. I have been around when we had close to 80 inches. Reporter on our way back out of the Boulder Creek area, the hillside started giving way after a full day of rain. There were at least a half don mini slides on this seven mile stretch of bear creek road. No major incidents today, but if the rains keep up. Get ready. This storm is just a taste of what is to come. Coming up later in the forecast, paul will tell us about more Pineapple Express storms coming this weekend. That could drop more than half a foot of rain here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Some time between friday and sunday. We are live in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Kiet do, kpix5. That is really something.

The warriors are paying for it all. Good news for the city, but pretty hefty ticket prices for fans. It has been one month since 36 people were killed in the warehouse fire in oakland. So, what has changed . Well, one thing, is a new focus on making sure bay area artists are safe wherever they live. Kpix5s Christin Ayers shows us. Reporter rain fell at the ghost ship warehouse tonight on a memorial of flowers, candles, and art work that has grown in the month since the place burned. A sign for oakland to make more safe housing for artists. There were a few visitors. I dont mourn, i organize. I organized this event. Reporter artist spike khan runs an art studio space. One of the only ones she says is up to code. Tonight, she brought together artist and firefighters. We need to get as many resources out to artists doing work on their Kitchen Table and working where they are living and in the warehouses. Reporter the event is not just an opportunity to engage with the arts community, but to give them resources. Tonight, they are handing out free fire alarms and exit signs for people who live in art spaces. Patricia ferrell walked away with a lot of resources. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors. All of these things are needed. All buildings should have fire extinguishers now. Reporter fire flightiers and building inspectors demonstrated how to use them.

If there is an attempt to destroy medicare, social security, or the Affordable Care act, democrats will stand our ground. [ cheers and applause ] if there is an assault on clean air and clean water, on civil rights, womens rights, or lgbt rights, if dreamers and their immigrant families face a nightmare of deportation, democrats will stand our ground. Trump and republicans are on the same page when it comes to their top priority. The obama care repeal resolution will be the first item up in the new year. Now, the first controversy of the new congress came even before members were sworn in. House republicans voted to gut the office of congressional ethics only to reverse themselves 19 hours later.

Some say it shows a coal fire that had been smoldering for days as the titanic set sale. Research suggests an intense fire in one of the coal bunkers was three stories high and reached temperatures of around 1,000 degrees which heated the steel and made it brittle. All right paul, solve the weather mystery for us tonight. We will have a lot of questions the next couple of days. Atmospheric river, Pineapple Express. When you have that, it is the mountain locations that are hammered the most. We are seeing that right now. You saw in kiet dos live shot a couple of minutes ago, very heavy rainfall south of the city of los gatos. This is a four hour time lapse of what has been going on in the Santa Cruz Mountains with four to seven inches of rain likely on the ground there by tomorrow morning and a stronger storm coming up over the next couple of day. So here we go with the rain. We are looking at heavy rainfall continuing in the Santa Cruz Mountains for the foreseeable future. A little further to the north, where you are not in the mountains, it is far less rainfall. Not even raining in San Francisco or castro valley. This continues in the north bay for sonoma county. San rafael, stretching to vallejo and martinez. So we are wet outside. And wetter than we have been at any other point in the day. Mid to up ears outside. That is a tropical air mass. The temperature going up as we approach midnight. We will drop to around 50 degrees by tomorrow morning. Mountain view 62. We are talking about a tropical air mass. Certainly a change from the past several days when our source of air was coming down from canada. That is gone. Two storms are headed our way. One is here now. The next one, the wetter one, the stronger one, will get here by saturday morning. Lets talk about tonight. Heavy rainfall in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Light to moderate rain elsewhere. It will be very soggy in the morning commute tomorrow. Rain tapers to showers after sunrise. Just the light shade of green on futurecast. But still showers throughout the day. We will be dry on thursday and friday before that next round of rain moving through. Lets add the two together. Rain from this storm and rain from the weekend storm. Three to five inches of lain for the ohs bay. Thats a lot. Up to eight inches for the north bay. But, the Santa Cruz Mountains, up to 11 inches of rain. But that is not the wettest spot in the sierra. Some computer models say there could be 20 inches of rain by this time next week. If that happens, it is not a guarantee, but if it does happen, that would be significant flooding. Mid 50s for highs tomorrow. Rain tapers to showers. Less rain tomorrow compared to today. Vallejo 54 degrees. Dry thursday and friday. We are getting soggy. Rain heavy at times. Over the sierra, that is just too much rain, too quickly. We know we are in a drought. We need some rain.
