pressure on embattled sheriff christina corpus to resign. the board this morning unanimously approving a proposal to put a measure on the next ballot in march, asking voters to amend the county charter that would allow supervisors to remove a sheriff with cause with a 4/5 vote. the move comes a week after a scathing report accused sheriff corpus of having improper work, romance and using racial as well as homophobic slurs. >> it does not benefit our community to have the type of chaos that we see happening right now at the sheriff's office. we are responsible for the safety net of this county. the safety net services, and for protecting our most vulnerable and right now, what's happening at our sheriff's office is impacting and negatively impacting public safety. >> we did not see sheriff corpus at the meeting. she was sworn in last year to a six year term. now, multiple lawmakers from the

to leave sooner, not later. >> hopefully, there is the. the sheriff will get some clarity. >> the san mateo county board of supervisors is moving forward with plans to remove the sheriff from office. they referred this case to the county district attorney and to the civil grand jury. we reached out again to the sheriff to see if she would sit down and talk with us, but we didn't hear back. in redwood city, jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. >> a storm rolling into the bay area. we're going to see several days of rain and joining us to talk all about it is meteorologist roberto gonzalez tracking when it's all going to happen? roberta. sounds like the rain is going to be cold to cold rain until the atmospheric river begins to take its hold on the bay area. >> then our temperatures will rise, and we'll share that with you a little bit later with the five day forecast. right now, atmospheric river rain event. it begins later on tonight. and in the overnight hours, the target area happens to be the north bay with flooding rains and gusty winds. and we will see lighter

our our livelihood and houses. >> so i'm not worried about rain where i live. i also bought a sump pump just in case. it's good that the fire department continually makes sandbags and sand available at the terra linda community center in san rafael, there's a sandbag station ready in the parking lot for anyone who needs it. i'm not really at risk where i am, but i'm prepared enough that should, you know, should things get really crazy, i think we're okay. the national weather service is warning of the possibility of strong winds, even thunderstorms, through the weekend. >> as part of what it is calling the first significant atmospheric river of the season. in san rafael, allie rasmus ktv, fox two news. >> new at noon. health leaders are reporting a possible bird flu case in a child in alameda county. the california department of public health says the child was tested for mild upper respiratory symptoms. symptoms rather. the results showed a low level detection of the virus. the child is now recovering at home. public health officials are now investigating how the child might have been exposed, but

period, we're talking seven inches of rain in the north bay. did you hear? seven inches of rain in the wettest locations of the north bay. 6 to 10in the highest elevations. where is all that water going to go? right now we have temperatures in the 50s. it's now 60 in fremont. these numbers, very little movement throughout the afternoon as the clouds continue to roll in and put a cap on things. the winds have not picked up as of yet, will be picking up overnight up to easily 20mph. so with the wind, it mixes up the atmosphere and it will not be as cold tonight as it was when you woke up this morning. so we have this area of low pressure. this right here is the bomb cyclone that is tapping into the atmospheric river. a lot of people say, what is a bomb cyclone? it's basically an intensifying area of low pressure. it's getting stronger. so therefore it will produce more rain, especially right there up against the pacific northwest. we will be the
