>> times are changing. good morning. i am dave clark. let's check your weather. >> look at the projections with the first system and it looks like maybe december or january timing. it will be potent for this time of year. by this time tomorrow, heavy rainfall. there is a chance we can have urban and small stream flood advisory just in time for your morning commute. today it is fairly quiet. we will bring in a chance for showers in the north bay, especially by this evening. rain returns tomorrow with gusty winds. the focus of the heavy rainfall will be to our north. you see what's developing. the bright colors indicate high moisture content. that's being directed to northern california and the bay area. within that corridor you get excessive rainfall and that will be the case for your friday. we have another system sunday. there are lots of clouds in place. we will look at the current numbers with san jose 53, santa

rosa 50 and san francisco 56 degrees. we have a possibility of scattered showers. the rainfall rates are really increasing for your friday morning commute and by 12:00, lingering rain in the south bay. at 4:00 we'll begin to scale back the coverage. that is tomorrow. get ready for the rainfall today which is fog in place, increasing clouds, possibility of a pop up shower in the north bay. not a major deal yet. we'll keep an eye on the radar. sal is standing by. it's been a very busy morning already since 5:00. >> it's been super busy. a lot of people have been effected by incidents on the road that have been cleared but they're still affecting traffic if you are trying to get into san francisco. we had a couple things go on on the bridge and off the bridge that slowed traffic down, 25 to 30 minute delay at the bay bridge toll plaza. if you normally drive this, it will take you maybe five or ten minutes longer. in san francisco we had an earlier problem but things are

beginning to recover. it looks better than a few moments ago. things are beginning to unwind here. let's talk about san jose south bound 101 at brokaw. a ups truck is on its side. it will be clearing up soon but the traffic will be slow south bound. north bound which is on the other side of the freeway may be slowing to take a look just because people like to see. north 101 is slow at that scene. >> thank you. cities and counties are gearing up for the first significant rainfall in months. the storm should arrive in the north bay this evening. it will spread to the rest of the bay area tomorrow. alex is live at marin county at one spot where we see flooding often. >> reporter: we do tend to see flooding here at the mill

valley parking garage under highway 101. things are dry but that will certainly change in the next 24 hours. this parking lot really tends to flood when there is heavy rain and you get high tide contributing to the problem. you see a sign warning people not to park here starting tomorrow. flooding will certainly be a concern across the north bay where the mountains could see up to three inches of rain. rivers and creeks will be filling fast and many roads could be washed out. we have seen people picking up falling leaves and clearing their gutters because that debris can pile up in your storm drains and clog them up. the rain is expected also to make for a very slow morning commute tomorrow with those slick roads, chp is expecting quite a few fender benders. i talked with an officer by phone about what drivers need to do to prepare. >> our normal first rain scenario, a lot of debris washing into the roadways, stuff that's fallen over the

summer. additionally, we will be dealing with people who aren't adjusting driving habits for the rain. they're still going to be driving like it is dry and summer time. because of that, we will probably be dealing with a significant number of spin outs and crashes. >> reporter: here is the reminder from chp. please leave plenty space between you and the car in front of you when roads are wet. chp is asking people to check their tire pressure before they head out and make sure your windshield wipers are in good working order. you may not have used those in quite sometime, because this will be the most rain we have seen in the bay area since march. again, we are here this morning at the mill valley parking garage, one spot where the water does tend to pool quite a bit when we see heavy rains. tomorrow you will not be seeing cars on this lot or if you do, they'll be under some water maybe. >> thank you. in addition to preparations alex mentioned we hope you
