right now with some spots seeing torrential downpours throughout the morning. this is a live look at the golden gate bridge. you can see the drops on the camera and the road is definitely wet out there right now. right now, a major intersection in the north bay is closed. this is what it looked like at river road and sunset in forestville. crews are working to clean up a large slide there that's full of mud, rocks and branches. authorities say it could be closed through noon today. let's go to roberta, who has been tracking the storm all morning. >> as things brighten you will we'll see more and more cases of this. periods of heavy rain from the north bay to the santa cruz mountains. the other side of the story are the gusty winds up to 45 miles per hour. this is our live hi-def doppler radar. it's been spot on all morning long showing where the flooding rains are and when you see the pockets of yellow, that's a concentration of moderate to heavy downpours. north bay starting to see a little bit of a break now as all this gradually slides to

the south. marinwood, san rafael, uragoga long highway 101 through mill valley towards the golden gate bridge, pockets of heavy rain. san ramon valley pockets of heavy rain. walnut creek slammed all morning. meanwhile south bay near alviso, some light rain showers more moderate in concentration in santa clara and mountain view. heavy rains backing into the santa cruz mountains. ben lomond, boulder cream, when the heaviest rain arrives during the afternoon hours, that's when we are anticipating flooding on top of current heavy rain. the highlands very wet, san mateo bridge also a nasty morning commute. just got a report out of sfo, two-hour 46-minute delays on some arriving flights. city of san francisco, definitely wet this morning from chinatown back through the mission district. now, when you see the areas of red that encompasses for the

most part sonoma and napa counties. that's where we have a flood warning in effect, with flooding occurring. yellow is flash flood watch. as you step out the door, there will be ponding on the roads. there will be some ponding on the sidewalks and downed trees. rock and mudslides very strong possibilities. this is the scene again looking towards the golden gate bridge where you can pick up the sheets of rain very showery in nature but being driven by wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour. it's balmy out the door into the 50s and 60s. the winds have been blowing up to 45 at sfo now to 37 hours. 31 in san francisco. rim of the bay in the 20s. lighter winds to the east except for livermore at 23. 25 in vallejo. these winds are so ominous, the national weather service has extended the advisory until 1 p.m., then these winds will begin to subside but out of the southeast 20 to 30 throughout the morning commute. i wanted to break it down for you so you could plan your day

accordingly. now through 10 a.m., windy soaking rains. 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the heaviest rain shifts to the santa cruz mountains. this afternoon, the rains taper to scattered showers by the evening commute. but here it is right now. the atmospheric river has arrived and this funnels all the way back to the tropics. so later on this afternoon when it shifts to the south it is going to be like this firehose effect pouring more rain into the santa cruz mountains. that's our targeted area. here's your futurecast. high noon, still very wet throughout most of the bay area. towards the evening commute it's hit-and-miss scattered showers. but that santa cruz area, the one that will be hit hard. we start to see lingering showers on wednesday. we buy a break during the afternoon hours. and then more rain, flooding rains move in thursday. and so while we have the rains here locally, we are talking about up to about 3 inches of rain in some locations to the east and to the south. nearly 4 inches in ukiah, 47

inches of rain in the santa cruz mountains. over 2 in san francisco by thursday night. we are going to talk about the sunshine and when that will return, that's coming up later in the newscast. but we'll remain on storm watch. all right, roberta. thank you. crews will be keeping a close eye on the los gatos creek today. it's already overflowed from spillover from the vasona reservoir and it could only get worse with all this rain. people in the area say this is the first time they have ever seen the reservoir's floodgates open. and a wind advisory is in effect around the bay area forcing drivers to be extra careful on the bay bridge. and other roads. gusts could reach over 50 miles an hour in some areas. winds could knock down trees and spark power outages. you certainly want to be careful out the door this morning. and roqui, you and i were talking about driving over the bay bridge this morning. definitely two hands on the steering wheel. >> yes, michelle. it is definitely wet and

scary out there! so it is 6:04. let's take a look at the traffic this morning. this has been in effect all morning long highway 12 at 121 in the sonoma-schellville area closed in both directions due to flooding. we have seen flooding here since the storm season has started so we'll keep an eye on that for you. if it's part of your morning commute and you can't avoid it take napa road and arnold drive instead. moving to another traffic alert this is in daly city, northbound 280 before highway 1, that's also known as 19th avenue, this is a solo rollover crash and our sensors are not telling you it's backed up but all lanes are open and you are not moving throughout that area. if you are traveling on southbound 101 in the area as well where you see the 39 miles per hour, there's a downed tree out there blocking a lane here at the south san francisco exit. so pretty rough conditions out there now. then head to oakland westbound 580 before grand avenue, it's a four-car crash blocking the left lane right now because of debris. the crash has been moved out of the road but clean-up crews are

on the way to get the debris out there was so expect delays at 18 miles per hour in oakland. okay. a high wind advisory across the span into the peninsula of the san mateo bridge from hayward to foster city. that will take you about 20 minutes but you see traffic moving slowly because everyone is being careful out there. 10 and 2 again. a look at the altamont pass 20 miles per hour at north flynn road. 50 minutes from north tracy boulevard to the altamont pass. and, of course, if you want to avoid the roads because we suggest you do here's a look at mass transit right now. bart is on time. ace train is 12 minutes late but 3 is on time. muni and caltrain are on time, as well. i'll send it to you. >> all right, roqui. thank you. right now senate democrats are in the middle of a marathon effort to derail president trump's pick of secretary of education betsy devos. you are looking live at the floor of the senate right now where they are about halfway through the 24-hour protest ahead of today's scheduled

vote. and california senator kamala harris spoke last night about her concerns. >> harris: including her record and confirmation testimony and after speaking with teachers and students and parents from across california, it is clear she does not understand the importance or the impact of a public schoolteacher. >> protests against devos have popped up across the country over her support of charter schools and school vouchers and her lack of experience in public education. democrats need one more republican vote to block the nomination. otherwise, vice president mike pence will cast the deciding vote. meanwhile, the president is now insisting that the news media is intentionally ignoring terror attacks to down play the threat. he offered no proof to back up his claim. president trump made the statement to a military audience yesterday. [ applause and cheers ] >> hours later, the white house released a list of dozens of

terror attacks since 2014 that the administration claims were underreported. the list includes last year's mass shooting at pulse nightclub in orlando, and the attack in nice, france, where 84 people died when a man drove a truck through a crowd. the president's comments come after a senior adviser kellyanne conway referred multiple times to a terrorist attack that never happened. she later said that she misspoke during her appearance on msnbc. but she has talked about the bowling green massacre at least two other times. conway now says that she was referring to two iraqi refugees accused of supporting terrorism back in 2011. this afternoon, a three- judge panel in san francisco will decide whether to reinstate president trump's ban on immigration from seven majority muslim countries. you can expect the fight to drag on after the ruling. >> whichever side loses has 14 days to ask for either a rehearing before a full panel more than 3 judges of the ninth circuit or they can just ask to

go directly to the united states supreme court. >> today each side will get 30 minutes to make its case by telephone starting at 3:00. lawyers from washington and minnesota will argue that reinstating the ban would create chaos. the white house says that the ban is necessary for national security. in san francisco, a lawsuit might crush the city's plan to spend $300 million putting bus- only lanes along the geary street corridor. a group called san franciscans for sensible transit alleges that the public project leading to the approval on the environmental impact was flawed. the transportation authority stresses the project will prevent pedestrian injuries and improve bus arrival times. in livermore a major clean- up in store today after a fire gutted part of a religious center. it started around 8:00 at the vineyard christian fellowship on north livermore avenue. four classrooms were damaged and employees -- and one employee had minor burns after he tried to put it out with a

fire extinguisher. investigators are now trying to find the cause of the blaze. time now 6:09. a bay area family devastated when thieves steal a wedding dress passed down among generations until an unexpected stroke of luck. >> and the plan to modernize caltrain service is now in doubt. details on the new roadblock. >> from the kpix weather center, good tuesday morning, everyone. we are under storm watch. the heaviest rain and the gustiest winds moving through the bay area right now. i'll tell you when to expect a little relief. >> all right. we have rain and that means mudslides. we have reported a few already this morning and now a new one affecting your bay area morning commute. we'll tell you exactly where it is when we come back. don't go anywhere. >> closed captioning for this newscast is sponsored by "living spaces." ,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the "san francisco chronicle" is reporting that members of the state's gop sent a letter asking the transportation department to stop approval of a grant needed to electrify a caltrain line between san jose and san francisco. san francisco police are looking for the suspects involved in a violent home invasion. it happened on friday night on naples street near excelsior avenue. police say that four suspects forced their way into the home and beat the victims. one of those victims was pistol- whipped. the suspects reportedly stole cash and jewelry. in walnut creek, a woman passes away and a thief takes several valuables from her home. but learning a decades old wedding dress was gone left loved ones crushed. this dress was worn in 1961 at the wedding of marie clark mcentee's mom. but when she died in december a thief stole it plus a car, computer and jewelry. mcentee was devastated since

four brides in the family had worn it. police recovered the dress and arrested the thief. >> no pressure on the younger generation. [ laughter ] >> but it's here if you need it if you want a free dress. it's really pretty. >> the lucky lady who wears it will find the name of the four previous brides to wore it embroidered on the bottom. it's so great they got the dress back. that's something that can be handed down over generations. >> i just love those stories of tradition and history. i watched one of the millennials saying i'm going to elope in vegas. don't need a dress. >> that's what i would have done but my husband said no. >> did you have a hand me down dress? >> do you keep it or still have it? >> i have to say i'm the only child so my parents are like, bam, whatever you want. i eloped. >> then we had, um, the big ceremony a year later. >> it's been a busy morning. it's been a mess. >> let's check traffic. the traffic alert the one

closed at south san francisco exit due to a downed tree. moving over now to oakland we have slow traffic on westbound 580 before grant avenue due to a four-car crash off there off to the shoulder but we still have debris blocking roads. >> let's do this. this is our live hi-def doppler radar, we have under storm watch. we have pockets of pretty heavy and moderate rainfall and we have been seeing this all night long. buying a little bit of a break in the north bay as all this activity slides south. but still it's very wet from marinwood through san rafael off highway 101 as you make tracks into mill valley and as you work your way to the golden gate bridge. the heaviest concentration of precipitation for the past 2 1/2 hours happens to be right there in the san ramon valley. that's moderate to heavy downpours. i have been watching it carefully for the potential of an isolated thunderstorm. so far, i have not picked up any lightning bolts but that 580/680 corridor always dangerous. speaking of the santa clara

valley, a gentle rainfall right now from san jose through willow glen. a little heavier precipitation as you work your way into the rose garden district. also, as you work your way into sunnyvale, the santa cruz mountains the targeted area this afternoon for flooding. we do have some pretty heavy rainfall there right now around san lorenzo park into redwood terrace. peninsula smacked hard. sfo now has delays 2 hours and 47 minutes on some arriving flights. visibility is an issue there right now. bayview district, hit-and-miss scattered showers into highway 101 as you work your way south towards sfo. flash flood warning in effect for napa and sonoma counties. this means that we do have flooding taking place right now. we do have for this huge yellow highlighted area a flash flood watch and many of you say what's that mean? that means heads up as you head out the door.

then sports director and hall of fame quarterback dan falk profiled brady while he was at serra. the story was found by our producer beth freeman who said he could see greatness in brady when they met 22 years ago. >> dan stood up all 6'5" of him and he looked at him and looked at me and said this is the guy. this is the guy to watch. >> tell me about tom brady the quarterback. what are your strengths? >> my strengths. so a pretty strong arm. which is good. i'm pretty accurate with it. and i think i need to work on my speed a little bit but hopefully that will come in time. >> that speed never came actually. by the way, tom brady had that jersey from the super bowl taken out of, um, his suitcase after the game and yesterday it was announced that the texas rangers not the baseball team but the rangers are now on the

a risk factor. >> as i understand it, one in three people who have diabetes have this chronic kidney disease also called ckd. that seems like a startling number. the medical implications are? >> if you have chronic kidney disease it can ultimately progress to end stage renal failure where you are going to need dialysis or a kidney transplant in order to survive. >> what do you need to be doing to be monitoring things so you don't get in the situation? >> it's why the tests and exams that people get to monitor kidney function are so critical. >> thank you. if you think you might be at risk for diabetes or chronic kidney disease it is critical that you get checked regularly. for more information visit cdc.gov/diabetestv. thanks for watching. i'm joan
