Here we go with your terrific tuesday, as i like to call it. 5 08. Meteorologist kari hall has been tracking that. Kari, a little too early for the sunrise. Clearly you have something beautiful behind you. What are you looking at behind you . I like your tour around the bay with all these photos you have for us. Were checking out mountain view. This is actually a picture kris sanchez took one morning when she was reporting there and i use it as my background because its one of my favorites. As we look at our temperature trend this morning we are going to see it starting out in the low 60s and then in the low 70s by lunch time, so we have a nice trend today with a wide range in temperatures from the low 60s near the coast to the mid to upper 90s for the inland areas. Well have another look at this forecast coming up. Mike, any more issues on the roads this morning . Kari, theres one that i thought was clear so lets take a look at the big view of the bay. Everything is looking pretty normal from our view. Green along the peninsula, the south bay, and looking south of the map. Highway 17 near the summit. A disabled big rig. I thought it had cleared. It had not. I believe the tow truck is on scene now. One lane is blocked. Thats why you have slowing heading down to the summit. You see the sensors just changed again. Well keep tracking that. Meanwhile the build for the altamont area, the trivalley, no surprises. Back to you. Thanks, mike. Well, a rare attack.

No problems but you do have company. Well show you how else Everything Else is going coming up. Well, good morning. A vep happy tuesday to you as well. Tracie potts was telling us about the Republican Senate stimulus plan which includes another 1,200 to go to Many Americans. I want to focus on the unemployment part of it. As you know as of friday that extra 600 a week goes away. The new republican plan would replace that with a 200 a week check on top of what states are paying. Rising to 70 of your previous wages once states can manage that data. But never more than 500 a week. The democrats put a competing plan together but its three times as expensive with what republicans had in mind. Neither plan includes the president s idea of a payroll tax cut. Now the argument over the 600 extra a week is fairly simple. Many republicans feel it discourages people from going back to work. After all, if you werent making that kind of money, it would just make economic sense not to take a job that pays less than not working. A brandnew study out of yale shows that may not be true, workers do go back to jobs even if they do pay less possibly because workers realize a steady job is better than Unemployment Benefits that will at some point run out. This is judy shelton and its looking more and more as if she will not be a new Federal Reserve governor. Republican senator Susan Collins says she will vote no on trumps pick. Mitt romney has already said no. A third and her nomination will sink. She is controversial. Many think she would make the fed less independent. Weve talked about this movie tenet.

Thats right, kari. Its like the thanksgivi thanksgivinthanksgiving over the past 12 hours im looping the radar not because weve had stuff happening over the bay area but as we look at the sierra there this is what we typically see, monsoons comes in and causes storms to develop. Weve seen that happening for at least the past week. And then look at all of the activity that happened yesterday. If you will be traveling there, make sure youre careful. Over the weekend we found out that we had our first lightning fatality since 2015, and this was a man just getting on a jet ski and was struck by lightning. So just a headsup about that that were still going to see a chance of storms in the forecast over the next few days. As we look at where were starting this morning in the bay area some low clouds and fog and were still looking at a wide range in temperatures. That fog will linger as we go into todayur temperatures will start to warm up for the inland areas. So so at noon were at 81 in antioch and 79 in san jose. But then you head over to san mateo where its 70 degrees and during the middle of the day the peninsula in the mid to upper 70s. Well see some 90s for the interior valleys. And then that fog rolling right back in once again. As we go through the sevenday forecast it will be slightly cooler for the rest of the week but not by much. Just coming down a couple of degrees. And it will be another hot weekend as we reach into the low 90s. But really no major changes for San Francisco as we continue to see that fog right there near the coastline. Mike, how is it looking right now for the commute . Its looking good, kari. We will take you to the big view of the bay.

On average 127 cases per 100,000 people. In order to stay off the watch list a county has to be infected at fewer than 100 cases per 100,000 people. Speaking with Governor Newsom the state secretary of health says californians there and here need to get even more serious about stopping the spread of covid19. Todays hospital numbers really came from infections weeks ago so if we want the situation in the hospitals here in the Central Valley and throughout the state to improve, we need to do today.

The New York Times says the yankees knew absolutely nothing about it, no plans whatsoever. They had an open invitation for a president to throw out a first pitch as most teams do but never had any specific date in mind. President trump made his announcement about his first pitch an hour before dr. Anthony fauci appeared on the mound at a nationals game.
