20 days. kentfield's total is now over 24 inches. san francisco over 16. redwood city, 14.88, the south bay ranging from four to 15 inches. that's three to five times our typical january rain for the entire month. so we're way off the mark. you can see the floodwaters tonight even though our storm is exiting because the ground is so saturated. and the creeks and rivers are still running high and fast and you may encounter street flooding where the water is trying to recede. aware seeing rainfall through the santa cruz mountains. that will keep it wet through sacks:37. as we move ahead into tomorrow, yes, there is sun in the forecast but we'll have to get over the chance of fog in the morning. i want you to watch out form.

6:04 pm
else has been hurt. crews say they have to be careful to not have this hillside move any more. nbc bay area news. >> a lot of work ahead for all those crews. thank you. something we haven't seen for years is probably some excitement and a little worry. south bay reservoirs are spilling over from the constant rain and run-off. robert handa joins us from near los gatos. crowds have been gathering all day to see the water flow. >> reporter: that's true. people have been gathering and the water is certainly flowing. behind me is what people have been coming to look at. it was a little easier to see and might have been surging a bit more earlier today. but the lexington reservoir began spilling over today. the water system knew this was coming and cleared room on sunday.
6:05 pm
the water district is releasing about 3,200 gallons a second at this reservoir. enough to prevent overflow here and on the los gatos trail. the spillway is just as impressive here. it has been spilling over for days. people who came out to watch the water say the scenic spillway is a bitter sweet experience. >> a lot of our neighbors had to be evacuated this past week. it had been a tough time. so i hope aware done now. i hope that the snow pack takes care of the rest of the drought and we've had enough of the rain. >> reporter: we definitely heard a mix of opinions on that. the water district says at left a four reservoirs have been spilling over. but with the area's largest reservoir still out of commission for earthquake retrofitting, we're still a long way from solving our drought
6:06 pm
problems. live at lexington reservoir. nbc bay area news. >> thank you very much, robert. let's show you some video of fort funston. you're looking at a military sick from fell from the cliff above. the rain-soaked sand caused the structure to erode. san francisco authorities tweeted out to be careful around the cliffs as they dray out. it was the first to establish a military base in the 1800s. that's why there is that military equipment out there. two families were forced out of their homes in belmont. it happened over the weekend but it is still causing problems today. the mud slide was something many in the area wanted to see for themselves. it is closed this road for three days now. it gave way on saturday. fortunately, no one was hurt.

6:17 pm
so you can see the doppler radar and the other radar combined and the storm we've had over the last 24 hours, now hitting central and southern california well the slight chance of spot ty areas of rain. we're on the downward side of this. i wanted to look back in history. san francisco is a good starting point because the records go back so far, bark to the 1800s. in january, 8.15 inches. well above the average. 4.53. now it is the 25th wettest january on ready ro. it is impressive when you see how far we've gone but there have been plenty of years when it goes even higher. back in 1862, with 24.36 inches in just one month. so that was about two inches a day in 1862. so thankfully, no numbers like that.
6:18 pm
but of course, we know our storms turn deadly and there is so much damage to clean up from. so with storm ranger, there is a lot of moisture in the mid levels. we are expecting to dry out. no rain expected tonight but what i want to you keep your eye on, the central vall. that's fog that we will likely see built in. a little for santa clara as we start tomorrow morning. then we get over that fog tomorrow morning, we're setting ourselves up with sunshine and it will be so nice tomorrow. make sure to layer up and have the heavy jacket. upper0s in the east bay. san francisco, afraid. and right there in the north bay, 35. day time highs tomorrow, pretty much the same in the micro climate. notice the winds. very calm.
