7:01 am
system resulting in some of the inland snow. really the only spots will be on the widespread rain is out east of antioch now out towards brentwood, tracing the altamonte pass. still a little bit wet there. we zoom out. you can see where the heaviest rain has shifted and now it's transitioning to snow fall. heavy snowfall up in the sierra nevada. so great to be seeing some snow pack today. wouldn't be a day to be heading into this year because of the stormy conditions there. but it is gradually becoming a better and better day to step outside here in the bay area. we'll clear out nicely later on this morning. and some nice peeks of sunshine into the afternoon should remain dry from this point forward for the rest of the day. now, just because we're dry doesn't mean the flooding risk is completely gone. all that heavy rain last night still flowing into our small stream. so flood watches continue through midnight. watch for some wet spots on roads, breezy us at the coast and in the north, a little calmer along the bay shore and temperatures are gradually lifting. now we're in the 40's for most areas, although alameda and nevado each right

today or tie know. we've been waiting so long for at least a nice little stretch of no rain i'm happy with whatever we get. as long as it's just not raining for right now, after weeks and weeks and weeks, it's so nice out there. this week's forecast looking dryer than not this morning. we are seeing quickly drying conditions last night. it was heavy, heavy rainfall across the bay area. so still watch for some slick spots out there. but compared to where we have been, this is a dream to look at a little breezy at the birds out there, enjoying the strike skies, the lingering cloues exiting the region. you can see a few lingering showers up in the santa cruz mountains. some snow showers lingering in the mountains above san jose. and then rainfall pushing out into the central valley and combining with some heavy rain to heavy snow up in the sierra nevada. going to be a rough day to head to the sea air today. they're seeing some very heavy snow out that way. but here in the bay area feel free to step outside and enjoy increasingly clear skies into the afternoon. look at this. a dry day ahead of us. as i
7:16 am
mentioned, still stays pretty wet to our east. so if you do want to head up that way, be mindful of those closures and chain controls. but the bay area, it's an easy going day. we do have flood watches remaining through midnight tonight. may not be seeing any rainfall but all that water from yesterday still running off into our small streams. so flooding risk still a concern over the next few hours. we do have high wind advisories in effect and then also winter storm warnings. these actually last through tomorrow at 10:00am your winter storm warnings in the sierra as we are going to continue to see snow up there through the day. well, the bay area only quieting things down in the 50's for your highs today and skies growing increasingly clear tomorrow. another nice and dry one really the only chance of rain we have ahead of us is a chance of showers. late wednesday. aside from that sunshine, dry skies, especially thursday through sunday. all right, john, thank you for that. well, in accident westbound 24 east of fish ranch road that's under so.

7:18 am
13 minutes making their way across towards the peninsula. 1, 0, 1, 30 minutes. 85 up towards menlo park. and if you are going to take 8.80, milpitas dour up towards say lee and it's going to take you 30 minutes to make that drive because of that slight delay that told you about darya. james, back to you. thanks. a lot of let's get to national news now. republicans say that they and the public want more answers about why president biden had classified documents. >> it is private home in delaware and his former office in dc and they're also questioning why. >> the current president is being treated differently than the former president when it comes to investigations. we have washington correspondent alexandra limon with the latest. >> good morning. republicans now want the visitor logs to president biden's delaware home. they say that in order to try to find out who may have had access to those classified documents. >> the investigation into whether president joe biden mishandled classified documents is growing. i want to who knew who knew what and
7:19 am
when we're sources and methods compromise. the hypocrisy here is great. we're very concerned about a lack of republican lawmakers are upset in part because the first discovery of classified documents happened before the midterm elections. but we don't know yet whether they broke the law or not. i will accuse the biden administration of not being transparent. >> why didn't we hear about this on november second and republicans say the situation is being handled very differently than when it was discovered. former president trump had classified documents at mar-a-lago and the fbi conducted a raid. democrats a part of the reason the situation is being handled differently is because president biden and his team are handling it differently than trump who didn't willingly hand over the classified material to the president and his administration are cooperating. >> and they should continue to cooperate. nobody is above the law. president biden said he instructed his team to conduct a search after the first
7:20 am
classified document was found. >> and that's when more documents were discovered in delaware. it's an embarrassment. no doubt about it. is there more to it? >> i doubt it, but we'll find out from the special counsel. >> that special counsel was appointed by the justice department last week to investigate whether those classified documents were mishandled in washington. alexandra limon. >> inflation and money worries may be a good reason to get your taxes done quickly. here are some steps to get your refund back as quick as possible. first we make sure you file electronically request refunds to be sent directly to direct deposit. that could save you 10 days right there. and then review your returns to make sure you don't have any i think in there that might set off an irs red flag and trigger an audit that worst-case scenario, if you claim and earned income or child tax credit, your refunds may not come until mid february. just one thing to consider the martin luther king junior holiday is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to
7:21 am
encourage all americans to volunteer. >> jane king reports on how volunteerism can have economic benefits. >> the nonprofit sector touches millions of people through employment, volunteer opportunities and providing services in effect. many would say volunteers are priceless, but some researchers have tried to put a number on the impact of volunteers on the economy. the 2013 report by economists at columbia university found that every dollar invested in national service, almost $4 is returned to society and higher earnings, increased output. another community-wide benefits every year. independent sector calculates the average value of one volunteer hour and then publishes a report on that this year. the national average is above $30 an hour for volunteer service. now, according to the u.s. department of labor, there were nearly 12.3 million nonprofit jobs. that is 10% of private employment. the nonprofit sector contributed about 906 billion dollars to the u.s. economy and assets
7:22 am
greater than 5 trillion. now those numbers are expected to grow. according to the urban institute, of course, volunteering his benefits far beyond economics. it's been shown to improve people's mental and physical health, social connections and positive feelings about their communities from the nasdaq market site. i'm jane king. >> it's 7.22. and coming up on the kron 4 morning news, california is getting a little more rain this the state is seeing and no to all of these storms will take a look at the damage and what's next after the break.
