let's hear what the viewers had to say about the rain? >> it was pretty crazy. yesterday afternoon my flag i o garage and the umbrellas all fell down and it looks like we haven't cleaned the backyard for a month. >> it was windy and unexpected. i wasn't expecting the rain. i wasn't prepared for it at all and i was cleaning my house and all of my furniture got wet so i was a bit upset about it but i'm kind of happy for the rain because of the fire and everything. >> reporter: and although the rain seemed like it caught some people off guard it was a welcome right. looking at the 24 hour storm totals. mt. tam at over two inches in the last 24 hours. ben lomond almost two inches and san jose nearly an inch and that was not the case last night and

but not flooding like today and that is great news. remember we have cross town traffic. building midday. if you are using 580 to i-5 or to sacramento, we zoomed out, it is the getaway traffic tha waze things okay but the predictive traffic flow through sacramento, you're okay until is 1:30 and the subway looks great and now an incident is clearing. south via 101 to i-5 and toward the southland you have until 2:00 to get out of the area but things get congested about 2:30, 3:00 but the grapevine is open toward universal studios. you guys are farther north. >> well the traffic trouble extended beyond the bay area. a berkeley woman has been stuck

same day word got out of the whistle-blower had alerted his superiors. but to your point, new this morning, "the new york times" said president trump knew about the investigation, that it was underway, when he released the military aid. the other thing to watch is the house judiciary committee is set december 4th as the first day of hearings for that committee. now these will not be about the alleged quid pro quo. these hearings about the process itself. remember, congress is only done an impeachment twice before in modern history. marcus. >> thanks, scott. well, coming up for you, something to be thankful for in the south bay. we'll tell you a new tiny home community, well that is coming soon and will open as well. and plus we're watching the skies over atfo. even with the stormy weather, would you believe, so far no major cancellations and only about 50 delays, which is not bad. but that is not the case across the country. a lot of travelers are stranded

because of wild weather. and we'll take a look at what fliers are dealing with.

of the rnoff and on as we've seen right now. right now the rain moving through the peninsula. san francisco and the east bay. wanting to zoom into this heavy rain from san lorenzo up to san leandro and toward caster valley and so heavy rain on 580 and 880. and heavy rain on the san mateo bridge from foster city toward the east bay it is looking like low visibility right now. taking a live look at the cars here you are headed, you may drive in and out of conditions such as this throughout the day. looking at the golden gate bridge, right now we're getting a chance to dry out. but we still see quite a few people out there trying to take in the sights and it looks really cool here. this view of the clouds billowing up over the hills, over the south bay. so into the rest of the afternoon, it is going to be cool, only hitting about 50

degrees. and at times the sun peaking out. then we get ready for the next storm coming in. so it is nice to have a little bre-- in between for thanksgiving and friday then the potential for heavy rain. and this is what the early forecasts are showing. anywhere from one to about 4 1/2 inches of rain between saturday night, all throughout the day on sunday, and into monday. so this could be a fairly significant storm. if it taps into some subtropical moisture and turns into an atmospheric river, this is very beneficial for the sierra. a live look at north star coated with heavy snow. and if you plan on traveling to the sierra today, it is going to lighten up. still some spotty snow showers. but we'll have our bus travel window tomorrow and still some scattered snow showers into friday before it gets heavy once again going into the end of the weekend.

additional snowfall for the sierra, check that out. we're looking at about three to four feet of snow going into next week for the sierra. while we're going to get some signif thettorm systems are just lining up out there in the pacific. so even after next week, we could still see some more active weather rolling across the pacific ae bay area asnto next possibly the week after that. so it is nice to see this break thanksgiving day and also black friday, small business saturday we see showers returning once again, kris and marcus. >> coming up, the macy's thanksgiving day parade is a tradition for families and we'll show you how the show will go on even if the balloons are grounded. but first, happening now, jimmy carter is back home this morning. he was just released f an atlanta hospital. you may remember he went in for surgery this month to relieve pressure on his brain linked to

recent falls. he underwent hip replacement surgery after a fall in the spring. he and mrs. carter look forward to enjoying thanksgiving at home. more news for you right after the break. he could've just been the middle class kid who made good.

but mike bloomberg became the guy who did good. after building a business that created thousands of jobs he took charge of a city still reeling from 9/11 a three-term mayor who helped bring it back from the ashes bringing jobs and thousands of affordable housing units with it. after witnessing the terrible toll of gun violence... he helped create a movement to protect families across america. to protect this planet from dream that defines us. faith in yoere the wealthy will pay more in taxes and everyone who likes theirs keep it. and where jobs won't just help you get by, but get ahead. and on all those things mike blomberg intends to make good. jobs creator. leader. problem solver. mike bloomberg for president. i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message.
