So there is a windchill out there. Check out the temperature in santa rosa, it feels like 24 degrees. Youll definitely want to cover exposed skin if you can. Were not used to those temperatures.

We dont see active fire right now. We just see a lot of smoke. No injuries have been reported. No structure damage, no vehicles have burned just those boxes.

Live in san leandro, Amy Hollyfield, abc7 news. Thank you. President elect joe biden and Vice President elect Kamala Harris wasting no time to get to work even as President Trump promises his legal team will be in court today. Overnight joe biden announced a Coronavirus Task force. Three doctors from uscf on that task force including dr. David kessler. Hes been named one of three cochairs. Kessler served as fda commissioner from 1990 to 1996. Two other ucsf doctors, Robert Rodriguez and eric goosby are on the board. The board is made up of 13 people. The president elect emphasized he will rely on science when it comes to containing the virus. We talked to a doctor about the importance of this task force and addressing covid19. We can trust a sciencedriven Coronavirus Task force to not spread mixed or rumors about unvalidated studies or unfound cures or treatments that might get peoples hope up for no reason. Then that leads to bad outcomes. President trumps team says they will start prosecuting their case in court today. That includes a federal suit to be filed alleging voter fraud throughout pennsylvania. Abc news chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl says according to people close to the president in the coming days he will come to accept his fate, but they do not expect him to say that he lost the election. They do believe he will accept a peaceful transfer of power. Certainly hope so. Today Governor Newsom is set to give another update on the states response to covid19 as the number of cases continues to rise across the state. Last week the governor did not provide an update because of the election. He will speak at noon today. Yu can watch the update onabc and streaming at abc7news. Com and abc7 news app. The Restaurant Industry is facing a new challenge, how to keep diners warm and safe. The impact on the economy is one of the key things were focused on as part of our effort to build a better bay area. Kris reyes spoke to some. We have heaters coming on the way that will keep this whole, like, area right here. We also have more heat lamps on order. Reporter heat lamps to save the day. Thats what restaurants like rise pizzeria and sixtos cantina in burlingame are hoping for, even as this normally busy street felt empty on the first cool night of the season. Lori thomas owns two restaurants in San Francisco. She knows Cool Temperatures mean one thing. We saw 25 of the reservations we had like at 3 00 this afternoon cancel, right . You know, you cant blame anybody. Its cold. So these heat lamps arent cheap. They can cost up to 1,500. Its not the perfect solution. So restaurants are begging their diners either bundle up or come on in. And if you are planning to dine indoors, i talked to a ucsf doctor for some tips. If youre choosing to dine indoors, you want a restaurant thats in a kind of new Office Building where there are a lot of air exchanges per hour. If you want to dine indoors, try to wear your mask as much as possible. Reduce the duration of time. Dine with your pod. If you go to the bathroom, make sure you keep your mask on. Reporter most restaurants in the bay area are still at limited capacity so theres plenty of social distancing. Places like sixtos and rise try to keep their windows open for better ventilation. If you do have to dine outdoors, another tip. Just dress for the weather and help the Restaurant Industry get through what might be their toughest winter yet. We really need another federal aid package. If people can handle it, they can bundle up and wear uggs and wear coats and go out to eat, youre definitely going to help. Our best hope would be for not that cold of a weather or that people are patient with us. Reporter in burlingame, kris reyes for abc7 news. Yeah. Talking about the drastic change in the temperatures and how its going to affect us in so many different ways that were maybe not prepared for but we will be. Lets talk about whats going on outside.

Our mildest temperatures around pittsburg, antioch and brentw d brentwood. 30s for oakland and San Francisco where its 41. Vallejo, 45. Closer to the water there. Pacifica, 43 degrees.

If youre working from home or the kids are going to be remote learning, make sure the heater is on. Make sure they dress warmly. If youre out exercising, it will be brighter and drier today than yesterday. Let me jump ahead and show you thursday will be quiet. Increasing clouds wednesday and thursday as the storm system passes to our south across the big sur coast. Snow in the sierra. Look what happens as we head into friday. Pretty healthy looking chance of some wet weather. If you look at the rainfall totals from the european model, some places a third to a half inch of rain. Keep our fingers crossed that that comes into fruition. It will make a mess out of the commute, so we need to talk to jobina about this mornings dry and cold commute and a little breezy out there.

The city stopped enforcing no parking laws because of the shelter in place order in march. If you forget, you will get no one penalty warning throughout the end of the year. We will continue to see alex trebek on jeopardy through christmas day. The longtime host of the game show died of pancreatic cancer yesterday morning.

I learned english because of you, and so my grandfather, who raised me im going to get tears right now i used to sit on his lap and watch you every day, so its a pretty special moment for me now.

President elect joe biden thanked many people for supporting him during his victory on saturday and many in the bay area Trans Community are praising biden for running an inclusive campaign. The broadest and most Diverse Coalition in history, democrats, republicans, independents, progressives, moderates, conservatives, young, old, urban, suburban, rural, gma, straight, transgender, latino, white, asian. His first speech as president elect of this country was incredibly bowerful because it was a repudiation of what the Trump Administration has been doing over the last four years. The Trans Community specifically points to a policy that essentially banned trans individuals from serving in the u. S. Military. Two german shepherds, champ and major are bringing a long tradition of dogs to the white house. President trump did not have pets. In fact, major is will make history because hes the first shelter dog in the white house. The bidens adopted him from the Delaware Humane Association in 2018 after fostering him for months. Hes not the first rescue dog. That title belongs to uke, a stray mutt that president lyndon b.

Look at this. This is his backyard version of the famous matterhorn. Sean larochelle says he started building the twostory coaster in march. He finished it in july. He tried to get every detail right down to the yeti. I always wanted to build a ride and disney rides are special to me because theyre themed. They tell a unique story. And never really had the knowhow or time. And, you know, they talk about all the negatives of covid, one of the benefits of covid is that you have all this time. You realize what could i be doing with this time . He found out. Sean got a lot of help from his brother and now theyre thinking of building another ride. Sean is currently going to grad school for architecture, he says this is a way to build his portfolio. That is amazing. Thats the way. I want to go see that. And, mike, you know his version is probably smoother than the actual matterhorn. No shade to disneyland, you know i love it, but its a bumpy ride. It really is. Its kind of become its defining characteristic, even more so than the water, the yeti and everything else. Just how old school it is. Thats what makes it adorable. The older we get, the more we ride it. A look at sutro tower, 48 degrees. Windchilly areas this morning. It feels like 24 degroo grees r now in santa rosa. Are dress warmly.

Reporter biden spent sunday visiting the grave site of his late son beau. Back in washington President Trump is refusing to concede, he spent the weekend golfing and tweeting, but not speaking publicly. His allies did that for him.

Dr. David kessler will serve as one of the three cochairs. Kessler was the fda commissioner in the 90s first appointed by president george h. W. Bush. The dr. Eric goosby is an internationally recognized expert on Infectious Diseases during the Obama Administration he was the founding director of the largest federally funded Hiv Aids Program and dr. Rodriguez is a professor of emergency medicine at ucsf. He works in the Emergency Department and the icu of two trauma centers. Its up to the governor to fill Kamala Harriss senate seat, a lot of people are wondering if hell go with another bay area leader. Julian glover is live with this political chess game. Hi, julian. Yeah. There is quite the power vacuum thats been created in california now that the Vice President elect Kamala Harris is leaving the senate and heading to the white house. Now governor Governor Newsom has a tough job of selecting a replacement now. Names of prominent politicians, local names, well known in the bay area to statewide elected officials are being floated. A recent poll surveying california voters suggested bay area congresswoman barbara lee and congressman ro khanna were favorites. They would be a strong ally for newsom in the senate. Others are suggesting he might suggest a rising star in california like Robert Garcia who would make the first openly gm gay senator from the state. According to a political article, bay area mayors libby schaaf and london breed of San Francisco are also in the mix. The main thing you should look for politically is someone who has been with you in the past and someone you think is going to be with you in the future. In other words, an ally and a voice in washington that you can go to when you need help. And help in your reelection down the line as well. Something else to consider, newsom may appoint someone who currently has statewide office like secretary of state alex padilla or xavier basera because that were allow him to name the next senator and statewide coveted office holder. Newsom recently joking that people have been offering to pick up groceries for him, maybe even go get coffee as they try to stake their claims in the mix here. Whoever it is, no doubt the person will be holding that senate seat until 2022. Reporting live this morning, Julian Glover, abc7 news. Thank you.

Masks do not negatively affect our economy. Wearing them is the easiest way to slow the spread of the virus. Experts tell us that masks do not cause a shortage of oxygen to your brain or cause disease. We cannot afford to debate this issue any longer. At least one Health Expert is not worried about covid19pl e crowded together to celebrate joe biden winning the white house on saturday. Thats because most people wore masks and gather the outdoors.

Supreme court gets ready to hear a case tomorrow that could end programs like covered california that exist under the Affordable Care act. That case challenges the constitutionality of the law. A decision should come by june. The California Attorney general will hold a press conference this morning reconfirming his commitment to keep the Affordable Care act intact.
