look. venado just west of healdsburg and others got rain, santa rosa two-tenths. ben lomond up to three-tenths. more for the santa cruz mountains. of course those fires across the north bay hills and in the santa cruz mountains that fire there this rain is going to help them out. you're going to be dealing with some slick roads as well as some strong winds for drivers along 580 this morning. a wind advisory in place for the altamont pass. both hands on we'll keep a firm grip and be careful. there's some areas of some standing water. some puddling. right now it's about 25 minutes for drivers making their way between 205 and 680. an opposite commute direction accident no longer blocking lanes. traffic flowing freely between 880 and 101 about 15 minutes.

>> short term or long-term housing, this is the tightest market probably in the united states and we know that so does the state and the account and the city. tomorrow the two mobile home parks orchard park and journeys end will be completely open to the public. coffey park will still have controlled entry until sunday. the city's also working on opening up other areas in the next few days that includes the areas of fountain grove. now, this is the time for folks to come here and assess the damage and grieve before it's opened completely to the public. there will be counselors here also members of different faith communities will be here to help support the victims of the fire. reporting live, i'm jessica flores, kpix 5. also in santa rosa city schools will be re-opening in phases starting next week. nine elementary schools are set to re-open next friday. october 27th. they will each be thoroughly cleaned and have their air filters changed. four middle and high schools will also re-open the same day. and now that the district has enough staff and teachers

isolation indefinitely. the national park service will not further restrict dog access in the golden gate national recreation area. the proposed rules would have put more limits on where dogs can go off leash. the decision to not further pursue the new rules is a real relief for a lot of dog owners. >> it left nothing to walk on. in marin county, where i live, there was a tiny half mile of beach where we were allowed to have our dogs off leash. >> this is almost a year after it was determined that some park service officials him properly used personal email accounts to correspond about these proposed rules. the park service says it pulled the plug on the rules in the interests of transparency and trust. >> this was a little bit of a debate. >> it was a huge debate. anytime that you start messing with dog owners, they all band together. and it is quite a political force. >> it was a contentious issue. something we can all agree on? we don't want any traffic out

there on the roads. let's check the roads with jaclyn. that's right. we can all agree on that. right now, we are going to take a little trip to rio vista where we have the power out after a tree fell out on the roadway overnight and it looks like they are putting signs out right now. we were tracking delays on highway 12 and 160. many folks use that to head over to the valley area if you are heading towards lodi or stockton. and they said that these lights are going to be out possibly all day until this afternoon 5:00 even that they may not have that power restored. so treat that as a four-way stop. through antioch, speeds in the green looking good. ben carson hasbenicia bridge a wind advisory. a delay-free ride on southbound 680. this is as you head into walnut creek right near north main

there on the screen. so that means some snow action. so just a few inches of snow expected. it will melted because we have hotter conditions in store. sfo 12-mile-per-hour winds out of the west. this is that onshore flow. that's why we have the more moist air still again today. we are going to feel the cooler temperatures again today, as well. san rafael west-northwest winds right now at 12 miles per hour. vallejo west winds at 7 napa 10. that storm system moving through northern california is winding down. then temperatures are staying about 10 degrees below average until tomorrow. then we'll start a warming trend tomorrow. by monday, tuesday next week, dry north winds will be back and it will be hot. cloud cover is covering the camera at the moment. here's coit tower so it is

terrain it has proven challenging for fire crews. in fact, seven firefighters have been injured and containment lines in some cases are being built away from the fire lines. >> i'd say we are reaching a turning point in this fire. >> reporter: and that is good news. evacuation orders though remain in place for bear creek canyon road, deer creek road, rons road and also dons road. bear creek road between hawkridge and highway 35 is open to residents only with identification. now, there are still two evacuation centers open at lakeside elementary school in los gatos and a fire station in felton. there are more than 900 firefighters assigned to the bear fire. we are expecting an update from cal fire later this morning on how things are going especially in light of the rain overnight which of course is very welcome news. back to you. >> totally. mark, what about the animals in the fire zone? we know there are all sorts from horses to obviously dogs and cats. >> reporter: yeah.

absolutely. especially up in the big estates here with animals and they do have two evacuation centers open. horses and goats can go to grand hill show grounds. that's in santa cruz. and small animals would go to the santa cruz county animal services department. so they are obviously very aware of the impact to animals and are making arrangements for both big and small animals that people may have. >> thank you, mark sayre on highway 17. hopefully the evacuation orders will be lifted soon. a welcome sign that the smoke from the wildfires is beginning to dissipate. the health advisory and "spare the air" alert have been lifted for today but air quality could be an issue where the fires are still burning. all right. so let's get a check of the forecast with neda. >> the rain definitely helps them out. when the rain helps them out will bring down the flame, smoke and ash in the air. today we are seeing the leftovers of the storm. we got it all overnight. so i want to zoom in on our hi-

def doppler and show you where we are seeing a little spot of rain. rain west of cloverdale, fort bragg, just a few areas a little bit of a cell right there. further to the south, there's remnants of light showers south of milpitas. so 880, 680 may see rain. mountains near 101 a little storm. so as far as totals go here's what's happening. you can see the roads will be wet out there this morning because of course the rain that came overnight. and temperature-wise, we are still seeing temperatures a little bit cooler than yesterday. today our temperatures will be cooler a couple of degrees for the highs today. current temperatures in the 50s. santa rosa 48. the temperatures staying chilly today. we have a warm weekend and sunshine will be back. you will most likely see the

sun today which will break up the clouds and then the heat will be back. we have some increased fire danger as we start our next week because right now we have the onshore flow. it's all going to shift monday of next week an offshore flow to return. so coming up we'll talk more about that. jaclyn. i couldn't help but notice the wet roads when were you showing the golden gate bridge. keep that in mind. your route may be a bit slick on your way into work this morning due to that rain that rain we saw overnight. over at the bay bridge toll plaza, metering lights on and look how quickly it fills up, 12 minutes from the maze into san francisco. that backup not quite stretching to the maze. it's just past the 880 overcrossing. 15 minutes on 4 to the maze. san lorenzo police
