NINERS AND THE CHIEFS. WE'RE LIVE IN VEGAS. >> IT HAS BEEN NON-STOP STORM FOR PARTS OF THE BAY AREA. YOU SEE THIS LIT UP BEHIND US. WE'RE UNDER A MICROCLIMATE WEATHER ALERT. GUSTY WINDS, HEAVY RAIN STILL SLAM THE BAY AREA. >> TAKING A LIVE LOOK ACROSS THE BAY AREA RIGHT NOW. THIS STORM IS NOT DONE WITH US QUITE YET. A HIGH WIND WARNING HAS BEEN EXTENDED. >> OUR HOURS AND HOURS OF STRONG WIND GUSTS ARE WEAKEN TREES. >> THIS WAS NEAR PELL AR POINT. THE STRONG WINDS CREATING RIPPLES ACROSS THE WATER.

NORTH BAY UP TOWARD THE HEAD LANDS, WIND GUSTS UP TO 98 MILES PER HOUR AT 3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON. ABOVE 80 MILES PER HOUR. THOSE ARE WIND GUSTS, SHORT, INTENSE BURSTS OF WIND. NOT LIKE SUSTAINED WINDS YOU WOULD HAVE WITH A TROPICAL STORM OR HURRICANE. BUT THEY CAN BRING TREES DOWN AND CAUSE A TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF POWER ISSUES. LOOK AT SFO. THAT IS THE LOWEST I'VE SEEN SINCE THIS MORNING. I WAS HERE THIS MORNING. WE HAD WIND GUSTS 40-50 TO START THE DAY. THE WIND SPEEDS ARE FINALLY STARTING TO COME DOWN. DUBLIN, 24 MILES PER HOUR.

WE'LL ABOUT FROM GUSTY TO BREEZY CONDITIONS FOR YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. RECAP THE TOP REIN TOTALS. SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS, MORE THAN 5 INCHES OF RAIN. CAN YOU SEE AROUND THE RADAR VIEW, INSTEAD OF THE WIDESPREAD RAIN THAT STARTED TODAY, ROAMING DOWNPOURS AND THE STRONG CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS, THAT'S GOING TO KEEP THINGS UNSTABLE WITH FLOOD WATCHES UP THROUGH 10:00 A.M. TOMORROW MORNING. PLAN ON A LITTLE MORE WIND, NOT AS STRONG AS TODAY AND THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING IN SONOMA COUNTY, AND THE CHANCE OF MORE THUNDERSTORMS IN MONDAY'S FORECAST.

HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH SERIOUS INJURIES BUT IS EXPECTED TO BE OKAY. >> IN VACAVILLE, THE RAIN CAUSED ALAMO CREEK TO RISE. VIDEO SHOWS SWIFT CURRENTS. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, THE WALKING PATH CLOSE TO THE CREEK IS FLOODED. CREWS HAD TO MAKE NOT ONE BUT TWO SWIFT WATER RESCUES. THAT'S WHERE MARIANNE FAVRO IS. YOU WERE THERE FOR ONE OF THOSE RESCUES THIS AFTERNOON? >> Reporter: I WAS. AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THE GUADALUPE RIVER IS RAGE RIGHT NOW. AND AT ONE POINT THIS RIVER ROSE SO QUICKLY THAT TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE BECAME STRANDED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED IN. AND IN THE END, SIX ADULTS, THREE DOGS AND NINE PUPPIES WERE RESCUED. AS THE FORCE AND SPEED OF THE GUADALUPE RIVER INCREASED, THEN MAN SAID HE KNEW THE PEOPLE CAMPING NEARBY WERE IN TROUBLE. >> THEY WERE SCREAMING. EVERYBODY, WE COULDN'T REALLY HELP, THE STORM WAS GETTING THICK, THE WATER'S GETTING HUGE. WE STEP INSIDE, THE CURRENT'S REALLY STRONG. >> Reporter: THE SAN JOSE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S SWIFT WATER RESCUE TEAM RESCUED THREE ADULTS, THREE DOG AND NINE PUPPY WHOSE ARE JUST A CUP WEEKS OLD.
