and ferocious. >>> let's go to alexis smith. you have some b.a.r.t. delays. >> major problem and this is turned into a major delay, it was ten minutes, then 20 and now major delay for san francisco stations, it's all die dew a switching problem at embarcadero station. we did just talk to b.a.r.t. a couple moments ago and essentially, trains can't get past there. either direction there. so if you're coming from the east bay trying to get into san francisco and vice versa, everybody is having to stop at embarcadero station and not moving at the moment. i did talk to somebody from rock ridge and it sounded like they were leaving the downtown oakland area heading towards san francisco. i will check in with them again shortly to see where they are stopped. embarcadero station or what the deal is. we do have the bay bridge metering lights on so that is starting to fill in and it is a normal weekday commute. i know things were nice and light yesterday. let's check in with meteorologist mike nicco and today likely the only dry commute at least really starting

natasha and jessica, alexis smith. mike nicco. >> i don't think i stopped working. >> you were here yesterday. >> so was jessica. >> a lot of the team was here. all did an incredible job. >> thank you. >> the rain isn't done yet. >> thankfully, it is lighter this morning. it'll get heavier tonight and tomorrow. another strong storm on the way. we'll talk more about that next. showing you live doppler 7. you see scattered, lighter showers dropping there. even yellows off the peninsula coast. those will fall apart as they head through the santa cruz mountains. but it will make the commute through there a little difficult. you can see some of the drizzle to light rain still hanging around. temperature, 47 to 55. dress warmer. mid to upper 50s. dry around noon. the showers will pick up at 4:00, becoming more numerous at 7:00 and much more numerous tomorrow. alexis? >> looking at one of the alerts this morning in the mel pedis area. due to a tree northbound 680. cal tran is en route, if not arriving on the scene. hopefully,

traffic reporter alexis smith is also standing by. friday 13th is not a good omen for b.a.r.t. >> already a scary commute out there this morning, honestly. major problems here. major delay, system-wide, and this is due to a disabled maintenance vehicle so we

let's get to alexis smith now. she's hosting a big issues on the roads for us. >> not a party anyone wants to go to unfortunately this morning. and sitting there on 580, westbound side, for altamont pass drivers, just past north flynn, that's where we've got that pothole repair in the two right lanes, 6:00, hopefully they'll have those lanes open but of course it's hard to tell just how soon they cn get that totally repaired and back open and in the moment, significant back-up into tracy on to 205, 13 miles and then some. if you can possibly delay your trip this morning, i highly recommend that. also, still trying to fix sinkhole steve as oakland chp has named him on southbound 13 just before get to wrbroadway terse. the two left lanes are blocked there. hoping to have that done by early tomorrow. let's check in with mike nicco. >> i appreciate the alliteration but why not start with a like we do with hurricanes. because you have that many potholes. my windshield, still haven't fixed it from last year's si sinkhole

alexis smith on the roads. >> i'm matt keller in for reggie. i can say, the rain will be over soon. >> it is not groundhog day. we have an end in sight. i wanted to show this wider perspective. you think we have it bad, they have thunderstorms and rough weather around southern california. check out the bay bridge right now. some gusty winds as this cell moves over chinatown into emeryville. highway 180 around kensington and through tibron, you have breezy to gusty winds. scattered showers throughout the day. possible thunderstorm. we're looking at a flash flood watch for the entire bay area throughout the evening. >>> the bay bridge toll blah pli didn't get the official word the metering lights were on yet. if they aren't, they will be any second. the rain is falling. chp issuing a high wind advisory for the bay bridge with the storm moving across the bay bridge area right now, across the bay. the winds are picking up. breezy for sure. have both hands on the wheel. other than that, quiet this morning. we'll talk about mass transit in less than

also here this morning, meteorologist mike nicco, traffic reporter alexis smith. i'll tell you, mike, when i went out if door last night at a certain time, i felt like a drowned harassed rat. it was really bad. >> it didn't stop. >> no, it came in waves and, you know, the intensity was pretty impressive, wasn't it? so hopefully it lived up to its billing and next time that happens, take a picture, post it on social media. >> you know, i almost did for you but i was so overwhelmed by the water that i could not. >> oh, i'm sorry to hear that. i don't like to hear when people are overwhelmed by the water. today's storm is going to be light. you can see it right there on the dumbarton and also the san mateo is also the bay bridge. we have moisture lingering on all of streets like right here. we'll have drizzle to showers this morning, scattered showers at noon, break at 4:00 and then the first signs of our next storm already rolling in at about 7:00. it's going to hit pretty heavy this time tomorrow morning. i'll show you an hour by hour look at that coming up next. l

meteorologist mike nicco and traffic reporter alexis smith. this is the one day i decided i didn't need that rain jacket. i think that worked out. >> yeah. hang it up, let it dry. it's got another day tomorrow and then boom. hopefully you stay dry this weekend as the rain will come downsideways. hi, everybody, here's a look out live doppler 7, i've also overlayed our clouds on top of it. there's a little bit of drizzle in our hills and that's going to hang around through about 7:30 or 8:00. tower looking pretty quiet. temperatures in the mid 30s to mid 40s a lot of sunshine we'll still hang out in the upper 40s this afternoon. freezing fog, black ice possible. i'll show you that next also before we get to the big storm at about 6:15. >>> good morning, mike. and yeah we're looking much dryer out there this morning, no issues for the san mateo bridge. westbound 92 moving along pretty well. quick check of our drive times. westbound 580, 46 minutes. we had a pretty minor crash near grant line road that cleared, right through that altamont pass str

we're joined by alexis smith tracking the roads and meteorologist mike nicco bringing us a cold start to the day. >> yes, grab a coat. i have dialed down to street level, live doppler 7, that storm we talked about that was going to sideswipe us with some sprinkles this morning, wow, that was really too many s's. you can see around pacifica that's where we have it right now. let me zoom on out and you can see it trying to throw some towards half moon bay also. this is going to be around until about 9:00 and it will start fading just like the fog. 12-hour day planner shows a lot of sunshine, low to mid 50s through the afternoon hours but back to the 40s by 7:00. >> it is starting to improve if you're traveling through the novato area on state route 37. we have half of it back open. so if this is your route, i'm sure you know that this is just been underwater for about the last week. the eastbound side of the roadway is open between 101 and atherton. unfortunately, the westbound side, they have not been able to pump enough water out today, so chp will be there conducting traffic on ather

. >> alexis smith. >> good morning. >> and mike nicco bringing us several solid days of storms. >> yes, absolutely. good news with this morning's storm is the red has moved into the central valley. you can see some of them moving through the eastern sections of danville right there, the radar just updated, dublin and also san ramon, heading over towards vasco road, brentwood and discovery bay. the reds move through in the central valley and continuing to move away and we'll just deal with some drizzle and scattered showers but everything's wet now. look at that. the radar looks so impressive when it came over san francisco, gave us a whopping 0.20 but that's enough to cause ponding. 12 hour day planner shows the rain and the wind picks up considerably this afternoon. through the evening commute, alexis. >>> okay, yeah, we have had a couple spinout crashes here this morning. taking another look at walnut creek, i thought it was just that wet pavement slowing us down on southbound 680. turns out just before highway 24, we have something in lane number two so that is the left center lane

alongside meteorologist mike nicco and traffic reporter alexis smith. jessica castro has the day off, so mike, it's a cool one this morning. >> yes, it definitely is. much cooler up to 12 degrees cooler than it was this time yesterday and the fog is out there. thankfully right now it's not very widespread, especially compared to what we're going to be dealing with tomorrow morning so we have half a mile in petaluma, 3/4 in santa rosa and not much out in the central valley but that's all going to change tomorrow. here's a look from mount tamalpais. mid 30s to low 40s at 7:00. low 50s at with mostly sunny conditions and jacket weather during the evening hours. >>> we still have lingering closures from all the rain and that includes highway 37. so they are pumping water off of the state route 37, 24 hours a day. but they are just really not many areas to put it so we still have that full closure between atherton and 101. we will have chp on the scene once again helping to traffic on atherton, i know that has been getting really congested. hang in there. we

alexis smith, and mike nicco, we are on storm watch again. >> yes and the first push of wet weather is moving through right now and it has some yellows and oranges. hi, everybody. first challenge to the rest of the day, right there, you can see from 580 between dublin and hayward all the way up to napa, even the slight chance of a heavy, brief downpour there on 80 from about richmond all the way up towards vallejo. let's see which way this is moving. absolutely moving quickly. in fact, it will be out of here in about 30 minutes and then we'll transition over to just some scattered showers for the rest of the morning. you can see the rain picking up in right now. 43 to 50. moderate 50s. windy conditions, even a chance of a thunder storm this afternoon and evening. lest finds out if it's affecting the commute. >> not yet but it seems like we'll have something pop up here soon. no incidents on the board so far this morning, mass transit is looking goods so it is feeling a little too good to be true with conditions pretty soggy at the bay bridge toll plaza. no metering lights yet, that usu

alexis smith, we'll start with highway 17 but there is a lot going on. >> there is. we have a full closure of highway 17. this is in the santa cruz mountains. we'll head down there on my traffic maps. see the purple. the northbound side of the road is blocked. there was a mudslide just after 3:00 this morning. it also brought down a large tree and power lines. one vehicle involved, as well. we have a full closure of that northbound side. the southbound side, they were able to get a couple lanes back open. that is likely a sig alert for the rest of the morning. bay bridge toll plaza filling in at this point. we've had two issues. on 580 approaching that and, of course, you have to sit through this in order to get through the metering lights. the metering lights flipped on at 5:28 this morning. let's check in with mike nicco for the forecast. >> definitely some unsettled hillsides there, or unstable, that could be unsettled. look at the line of light to moderate rain that is moving up and down 17 right now. at any point, that could trigger another minor rock slide. the
