lawrence. yeah, this may turn out to be a historic event. we're going to watch this one very close to them watching this build over the last few days and things are coming together now and it's looking like we're going to see this system really make its way on shore, maybe more of a sunday event. now the time has moved up. usually that's a good sign that that's going to happen. so out there right now we're seeing a lot of clouds, not much in the way of rain right now. kind of tapering off. of course, we started with the rain this morning. a national weather service has issued some flash flood watches. you can see those areas in yellow right along the peninsula. the san mateo county area. the santa cruz mountains expecting some very heavy rainfall, maybe 5, 6, inches of rain into the santa cruz mountains. but it's the north bay that will likely see the most. i think that's where that storm system is going to be hung up early on when first comes ashore. i think we may be talking about 8 to 10 inches of rain across some of the mountain peaks. so we're expecting the main rivers to stay within their banks is still early in the season. something's been very dry. so the russian and also nap or they're going to stay within their banks. but it's a small creeks in the tributaries that

will likely see rapid rise is unlikely could flow over their banks. of course, the burn areas. that is a major concern as we're likely to see some debris flows from all that rain coming down in a short amount of time to go along with that expecting some very strong gusty winds with this storm system. this one. what's called a bomb cyclone that mean the area of low pressure going to rapidly really deepen over about a 24 hour period that is going to set itself up for some extremely gusty winds. so the entire bay area has been posted under watch that will soon become a warning as we get into sunday morning. that will continue throughout the afternoon and evening on sunday night. here's the forecast for some of those winds as we get toward. sunday at 6 o'clock in the morning. you can already see some of the areas shaded in purple. those winds gusting 40 plus miles per hour as that main front begins to really drive down south working across the bay area. look at the colors all the purples popping up. we're going to see gusts over 50 and likely some 60 mile an hour gust along the coastline, especially the coastal ranges that will

certainly bring down some power lines, some power outages going to be calm. and i think by sunday afternoon and sunday evening. best now to prepare get all the flashlights, the candles ready, the generators. we're going to see some power losses around the bay area. guys. that's pretty certain with. without a doubt back to you. all right, lawrence, thank you. well, with this big storm on the horizon. we sent kron four's terisa out to find out exactly what people are doing to get ready and she joins us now live from walnut creek with the story to reset. >> hi, ken and pam said the clock is ticking and there are many people getting ready and i went to the states hardware, which is a fabulous place and they gave me a lot of recommendations. >> ready set. go from tarps to candles to oil lamps. the list is lengthy. if you want to be super ready for the upcoming storm. >> so this is a good emergency lighting. if you don't have if your batteries ran out last night runs out you can light one of these and gives full room lighting bob flores. walk

you lose his power, that he can actually use the barbecue to cook for his family thought that was pretty clever. so i have now like a sheet of paper and up. and i'm going to write down a whole bunch of other stuff so that i can pick it up. so i'm ready for the storm on sunday, just in case we lose power, which could possibly happen right. reporting live here and want to create theresa stasi. back to you guys. and the hardware stores probably be busy tomorrow. thank you to reset. preparations are also taking place. it. >> pg and e ahead of this weekend's storm employees air gives a tour of their facilities today while showing us how they're getting ready for the weather. this yard in fremont is where they keep a lot of equipment. they could need to fix storm damage. they're also keeping employees on standby ready to jump into action if they're needed. >> this is really an all hands when we experienced those outages.

about 57% of people in the u.s. meet the current definition of fully vaccinated and only 6% have received a booster. i think the announcement came a little bit prematurely to tell you truth. i was surprised to hear that the fda and the cdc a cip, which is really our mean advisory committee for vaccinations are not at all convinced that everyone needs a 3rd shot, local infectious disease experts agree that this announcement was unexpected. doctor peter chin-hong says he believes the booster dose could move the vaccines from preventing serious illness hospitalization and death to preventing contraction of the disease altogether. >> but with the rollout of the new series. it seems that our strategy now is to use it as a week to prevent transmission of infection from one person to the next right now. boosters are recommended for those over 65 immunocompromised and people in high-risk environments with more than 30% of the country
