That will be more indefinitely because of the crash over the weekend. Looking at the build for the fast track lanes. This may ease up a tad bit. We are looking at the map. One of the reasons why, toward the end of the year, folks heading into the office earlier and out of the office earlier, do somer rands, perhaps they have shopping to do.

The senate may have passed a tax bill, but congress is debating what will be in it as it tries to reconcile the house version that passed earlier this year. Lawmakers are pushing for a rewrite so americans can continue to deduct state and local taxes.

It is so concerning because, as many of you know, there are a lot of art connoisseurs in the bay area. People go, travel throughout the world to visit the getty because of the vast selection of art.

Producers are shutting down to avoid danger to the actors and crew members and will resume filming when its safe. The cbs show slots is suspended. The rams have canceled their practice. A lot of concerns of air quality. So sad. We just went through that with the Northern California fires. Unfortunately, i have been looking at the wind speed forecast. The winds will pick up again tomorrow evening. That is the main concern. A break in the wind speeds. I want to show you the wind speed forecast for Southern California. For tomorrow, starting out or rather for today, as we see the winds throughout the morning, starting out at about 25 Miles Per Hour, then we start to see those winds picking up once again for tonight into early tomorrow and look at how these sustained winds increase for the evening, up to about 45 to possibly 50 Miles Per Hour sustained with the strong santa ana winds. That may fan more flames as we bring it back home, we have freeze warnings in effect. Very cold and dry air. All the areas shaded in purple, under a freeze warning until 9 00 this morning. Here is a look at those temperatures and the reason why we have freeze warnings in effect. Santa rosa dropped to 30 degrees. Napa is close at 36 degrees. Some of the valleys we are seeing colder readings this morning. As you head out the door, its ten to around 13 degrees colder than yesterday morning. Especially in livermore, napa, santa rosa, much colder than yesterday. This afternoon, it warms up quickly and a few degrees warmer than yesterday. A wide range in temperatures from morning to afternoon. Make sure you are prepared for all of that, dressing in layers. Up to 62 degrees in oakland. 62 in palo alto. 63 in halfmoon bay.

As we go beyond the forecast, still not seeing a lot of rain here. Ill continue to track that for you. Mike is tracking the bay bridge back up. Thats rilgght. It continues. We have the metering lights on and the back up fills all the lanes. Looked dramatic, but it was a look at the map. Only at the approach. West grand avenue, longer now as you look at the map. The slowing has not reached the berkeley curve. Thats the good news. An easy drive down the area. 15 minutes from highway 4 to where the back up approaches. A nice drive. Remember, the north bay is under a freeze warning up there and frost as well. You might need to use that credit card on the windshield. A little build for hayward, southbound 880 past the 92, the san mateo bridge. Getting over here in san mateo itself, southbound 101 at 92, past that interchange, we had that bus still there, but a crew is on scene. Its not a problem because traffic is flowing so light.

Reporter as of yet, i have not seen that happen, but, of course, we are definitely very concerned for this community here at the top of the hill. A community of larger homes here in the Beverly Hills area. Right off the 405 freeway, just on the east side of it, to be exact. On the east side of the 405, this is helpful for viewers because as we know, the getty center is on the west side. So, if we are talking the east side, still, an incredibly populated area. Maybe when you get the opportunity, as you are rotating the chopper around, you can show the mapping mechanism to get a better sense of where this is. You said Queens Borough lane. Thats correct. They are pulling up the map. Great concerns in Southern California, but good clarity of where the location of this fire is. In fact, on the other side of the 405 freeway. There are some massive homes there, in the heart of Beverly Hills on the hill top. Right. Such concern. A lot of people know the area from tv. Exactly. Coming up at 5 27, we continue with the other fires burning in Southern California. The bay area sent crews there. The danger certainly isnt over, yet. Lives wrapped up in that house. Everything. Its all gone. Everything. The devastation already left behind from three different wildfires. We are live as firefighters continue to fight to save the homes and lives this morning.

A lot of sunshine. We keep that sunshine throughout this seven day forecast. No Major Concerns here as we go into next week. It still stays dry and temperatures for the inland areas staying in the upper 60s. Ill talk about the weekend forecast as you make plans. Thats coming up in seven minutes. Mike is tracking whats happening now at the bay bridge. Weather wise, the only concern is the fact we dont have the rain. Cool, clear and look at the back up. It formed early at the bay bridge. Folks are huddling together because the metering lights are on. We have a map showing the map is back to the curve. It was an early start for folks heading there to get into the city. A smooth drive around the rest of the bay. Mild flowing through the altamont corridor. Nothing big over there in the trivalley. Looking at the drive times, look at that. No delays for the transits. Back to you. Thanks so much, mike. 5 32. Continuing coverage this morning. This is another fire that is burning. This is close to the 405. We are trying to determine exactly where. Not too far from sunset boulevard, i know that. Look at the helicopter. It fans out you can see the scope of this massive fire. This is a new one that is burning in Southern California this morning. Those strong santa ana winds continue to fuel the spread of several california wildfires. 27,000 people have evacuated as the fires are in and around los angeles.

In terms of the size of the fires, the creek fire, 11,000 acres, rye, 5,000 acres and the thomas is largest, having burned about 55,000 acres. This morning, the dangerous wind and dry conditions remain, meaning the wildfires could spread more. Today show miguel alma gur is live with what firefighters are facing. Good morning. Reporter good morning. I want to let you know that fire you were looking at, those live pictures is by the getty center on the 405, not far from l. A. X. The hillsides, there are severa multimillion dollar homes and the getty museum. Firefighters are throwing many assets there. They are spread across the region where we are at. Home after home, completely destroyed. We know at least 150 structures damaged or destroyed. There is no question that number will rise when crews are able to get up in the air this morning. A better perspective of how widespread that damage is. Hundreds of structures, hundreds of homes have been gone. During our trip here this morning, we can see the fire burning on both sides of the 101, which is where the fire is burning from the mountains all the way to the ocean, near and around Santa Barbara and outside los angeles. Fire crews are deploying all Assets Available to the wildfires. Four in this area and the new one you are seeing and talking about a short time ago around the getty center. Even at this hour, in cold temperatures, the weather here is precarious. It is fanning flames. Those winds are driving so many of these wildfires. Thats the big concern, not just here, but fire locations across this area. Gusts could reach 70 miles an hour tomorrow because of those santa ana winds. The firefighters have their hands full today and will be very busy in the days to come. Back to you. The fire burning a mile north of the getty center. Thank you.

Changes coming to parking meters in San Francisco. The meters will be priced based on demand. Pete suratos is live with a closer look at the plan. Just given the green light by mta. This is going to impact thousands of people. Reporter good morning to you, marcus and laura. Yes, definitely has the potential to impact a lot of people. This is based on demand as far as how the price increases as parking meters around San Francisco. The goal here is, if the parking meter is a bit more expensive, that may shorten the period of time that driver decides to park in a specific spot. As far as reaching that number of 8 an hour, it could be a while before we see that happen at all. Here are the details. Mta voted on this ewe unanimous mousily improving the dhangs. The parking meters will change more during peak times. It will be less when demand is low. That is applied to the more than 30,000 meter spaces around the city. Could see a low of 50 cents an hour and a high of 8 an hour. It will vary by time of day and block by block. It will be adjusted four times a year, depending on the use in the previous quarter. It will only be an increase of 25 krenlts a month. Not a drastic change, at least immediately. 7,000 parking meters are demand based in San Francisco. Its been that way since 2011. More in the busy area such as mission, downtown and embarcadero. We are in front of one here on third street. The average rate with the systems already in place is 2. 50. This is going to be applied citywide in midjanuary. Pete suratos for today in the bay. Thanks so much, pete. Big change for people there. Thanks a lot. 5 38 chlgt Time Magazine the person of the year. The editorinchief says the me too movement where men and women spoke out spread rapidly.

Amazing. You can see that full interview, which includes the movements original creator. Worth noting, the magazine did select two runner ups, chinas president third and President Trump placed second. He was the top choice last year and last month claimed he turned down the magazines offer to be this years choice. This morning, the magazine says that is completely false. So far, no new reaction from the president this morning. The team of marcus and laura. Looking over here, san mateo bridge, we have smooth traffic westbound. We just missed a problem. The issue was a disabled vehicle pushed off the roadway. Its clear of the bridge and lanes. Great news. We look at the map, westbound 92, no problems. A build on the hayward side out of san leandro.

There are reasons to move the embassy to jerusalem, its the capital and the u. S. Congress voted to do it way back in the 90s. In fact, californias Dianne Feinstein voted to do it. There are reasons not to. The capital moving it would end hopes of a peace deal and no other country has its embassy in jerusalem.
