A lot of debate as to why were seeing a spike in coronavirus cases. Health experts say its not just more testing. Other factors are to blame. How can we better protect ourselves . Lets bring in San Franciscobased microbiologist jessica ma lady rivera. Youve been with us several months now tracking all of this. You are a member of the covid tracking project. Not politically speaking here, just from the facts and the data, why the increase . You know, california set a really discouraging record this weekend with over 4,000 cases and again today we saw 28,000 cases again today. You know, theres definitely a reason for it, and its more than testing. We are seeing that there are clusters of cases occurring in places around the country that opened a little too early. I think florida is a perfect example of that. Were seeing in some cases. Reporter testing is plateauing and drops, cases are still rising. Jessica, whats the balance here . We have to get back on track with our lives and our careers but at the same time watch the health part of it. Whats the guidance here because we cant shelter at home all the time . Youre right. Thats a very fair question. I also think we cant wait until our Health Systems are overwhelmed. Weve seen in the last 5 1 2 months theres been a threeweek lag between when cases are diagnosed and icu admissions. So im a little concerned when were seeing some of these dates for reopening as early as next week when we could see devastating data in three weeks. It needs to be a balance like you said, and i think a lot of the things that have been said since the beginning need to remain. I think we need to focus on mask wearing and hand hygiene and make sure physical distance is enforced as well. Six feet is a really good recommendation for safety. Final question. I know you have a family. I have a family. Is it advisable to take a Little Family road trip for the fourth of july weekend . You know, i care about San Francisco data as much as i care about california data and the United States because i could be in any three of those places in different locations within a few hours. So one of the reasons why were so concerned about some hot spots in the country is because of how quickly and easily people move. So to answer your question, i would be concerned unless people were really strict about quarantining before they left anywhere, making sure that wherever they go, that theyre still practicing physical distancing, wearing their masks, and making sure when they return, theyre also isolating again for another 14 days. Very helpful advice. Thank you, jessica. Well see you down the road. It is that time again. Crews are cleaning up sand along ocean beach in San Francisco. Southbound lanes were closed during the cleanup as workers removed 16,000 cubic yards of sand that have blown toward the road. They had to put it back onto the beach. Crews will be working on the project from 7 00 a. M. To 4 00 p. M. On weekdays up to seven days. Lets bring in our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. As promised, our fathers day sunday was beautiful. We had good barbecue weather, jeff. Now we got the next week to look forward to. You got that right. Glad you got out there with that barbecue, raj. As we head throughout this week, yes, we have some more warm weather with us but also a little bit of humidity. You might have felt that today. And were even tracking some shower chances here in parts of northern california. So i did want to start off with a wide look at the weather chart and really what im tracking in the atmosphere right now. You can see the number one most predominant thing weve been dealing with of course has been that heat. Its an area of High Pressure over the southwest thats pulling in this hot air from the south. But the second thing is this system offshore and the circulation around that is helping to mix in a little bit of humidity as you may have felt today, and all of that combined together is giving us some fog at the coastline. A fairly complicated pattern for us right now. Lets go ahead and break this down to whats going to be happening over the next 24 hours to get you ready for tomorrow. You can see that fog right here at the coastline. Beautiful picture. Its not summer in the bay area without that fog and right on cue, you can see it rolling on in. Currently 70 degrees down by the airport. We have some chilly 50s on the way once we hit 10 00 p. M. Tonight. Tomorrow morning be ready for some fog right near the coast and 66. Some of you in the peninsula definitely may get that. Over to the triefvalley, it wi be mild, sunny, and 70. Patchy clouds near the bay for the east bay. Some fog in San Francisco and 63. Well start off the north bay with some patchy low clouds and 65. As we move through the day tomorrow, thankfully with the fog at the coast, it will keep us out of the hot 100s and give us a good day in the south bay with 89 in san jose. To the east bay, its warm but no 100s. 78 in vallejo. That is some great weather. 92 in danville. Over to hayward, 79. The peninsula, got you at 80. Palo alto, numbers drop off in daly city and Half Moon Bay to 60s with that ocean breeze coming out of the west at 19 miles per hour. This will put us down to 58 in the marina. Marin, napa, sonoma counties, look at the big difference. Youre close to the bay. You have 78 in mill valley. Clearlake, we are at a hot 100 tomorrow. Thats the only 100 i have in that forecast. Extended forecast, 70s in San Francisco wednesday, thursday, and friday. By sunday, highlighting that because winds will pick up, 20 to 40mileperhour gusts possible. Inland valley forecast, up to 90 on wednesday. Notice a 20 chance of a shower. I wanted to get a closer look at this and show you the best chances remain over the sierra with about a quarter to a half inch. Thats why im only calling for 20 chance right now. Then back to the wide view and again on sunday, winds do pick up. Temperatures drop. The good news about this wind is its a cooler wind coming out of the west, but it will be gusty. 20 to 40 miles per hour. Again, sunday afternoon also into sunday evening. So it may be june. It may be the first week of summer, you guys, but weve got a lot happening this week, so of course ill be here to track it for you. Any guesses, janelle and jeff, what week that jeff has been working from home, weve been sheltering at home . This is starting week 15. 15. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Youre doing a great job.
