Tracie potts live for us this morning and, tracie, the president is now suing to stop the count in three states. Exactly. In fact, there were existing Court Actions in nevada and also in pennsylvania and now theyve added to that in michigan and more court action in pennsylvania to try to get the observers in and to try and stop the vote counts. This by the Trump Campaign, the Biden Campaign say they have lawyers ready to try to stop this. They think its unwarranted. Meantime, President Trumps Team Including his family says they believe that the votes that are being counted, some of them, arent legitimate. They are trying to cheat us out of it because they know its their only path to victory. Not a single republican has been able to look at any one of these mail ballots. They could be from mars as far as were concerned. Every vote is going to count. Im going to fight like hell to protect the vote of every pennsylvanian. Pennsylvanias Governor Tom Wolf promising theyre going to count every single vote. Our latest update from there this morning is that theyve got 800,000 votes to go. Meantime, back here in wilmington, the biden team says that they have lawyers on standby. They are ready to go to court because there is absolutely nothing wrong or inappropriate about the vote counting. Its just taking a while because weve had a Record Number of people involved in this election. Back to you. A lot of people casting their votes. A lot of votes to be counted, tracie. I want to bring in scott mcgrew now. I know this race down to arizona, nevada, georgia, pennsylvania. Talk us through all of this. Sure, happy to. Good morning. Well start with pennsylvania which says its got another set of ballots. Remember the federal courts ruled that pennsylvania can accept legal and legitimate ballots for nine days so long as they were postmarked before election day. So, that case went all the way up to the Supreme Court because it tied on that ruling, it affirmed a lower courts ruling. Those ballots absolutely do count. We always knew pennsylvania would take a long time. We always suspected the vote would swing. We were talking about that last week. Anybody who is surprised that mailin ballots, which are counted last, are swinging races towards biden should not be surprised. Biden encouraged his supporters to use mailin ballots. President trump discouraged their use. Lets take a look at georgia. Georgia remains too close to call. You can see the pattern of urban voting and rural voting. Georgia used to be the state that republicans could always count on but it could go either way. Now, that may not turn out to be important. Georgia or pennsylvania, if biden can hold on to the leads out west. The combination of nevada and arizona would put him over 270. Nevada says it will have an update on the count at 9 00 a. M. Our time. It earlier promised to count last night. Secretary of state said he misspoke blaming the lack of sleep. Were also expecting an 8 30 a. M. Press conference from the trump administration. Arizona interesting our nbc decision desk says its too close to call. The only opinion that counts for us is our own experts and its too close to call. So, thats why when you look at other News Agencies might have a different number. Thats why. We are being very conservative with our estimates. Its better to be right than it is to be first. So, also a good reminder that everything youre seeing youre seeing is preliminary. The votes will be certified by states later. In the case of wisconsin, it sounds like a recount because the vote is so close. Speaking of numbers, there was a tweet that i want to show you claiming michigan had counted 128,000 ballots. Every single one of them was for joe biden said the tweet. Well, it turns out that was a typo made by an election official who later corrected it. This twitter user later corrected his own tweet, tweeting that out. But by then it had really gone viral. Now you may be alarmed to hear someone in michigan made a typo. At least publicly facing computer screen appeared to give biden 825,000 votes. Those votes never existed. Never counted. The same goes for a news media when the Network Makes a call on a state, it is an estimation, it is not the actual thing. So, keep that in mind as we continue to go. Only a state secretary of state can certify a vote, marcus. Good to know. Scott, jumping back to the lawsuit that was filed by the president to stop the counting in michigan, georgia and pennsylvania. Talk about whether trump has really the grounds for that. Well, theyre not being real specific about the wrongdoing, are they . The actual wrong doing. You hear them talking about cheating. They dont provide any proof. The lawsuits actually when you look at them are not as powerful as theyre making them sound. The president s attorney is making them sound. I actually made kind of a little list for you. Lets take a look at it. In pennsylvania they want republican observers to be allowed to see the vote count close up. Kind of an argument over where people are standing. They also want the u. S. Supreme court to rethink its earlier ruling about how long pennsylvania can accept those legal and legitimate ballots. Michigan same thing. Where do people stand. Also keep in mind that it appears biden has already won michigan. Georgia a lawsuit to force Election Officials to remind election workers not to process ballots postmarked after election day and in nevada, concerns about how signatures are matching up. President trump seems to realize that these lawsuits with maybe with the exception of the one in pennsylvania will not do a lot to change the outcome. Our lawyers have asked for meaningful access, but what good does that do . Again, laura and marcus, we do expect the press conference from his lawyers, the president s lawyers in nevada at 8 30 our time. Were hoping if theyve got these allegations that they will provide some sort of proof of these allegations. It will be interesting to see and then also the vote count in pennsylvania coming in. Thanks so much, scott. Well check back with you later. In the meantime, uncertainty over the election sparking nationwide protests overnight. Numerous arrests being reported as demonstrators hit the streets in several u. S. Cities. Closer to home, peaceful but loud protesters gathered last night in San Francisco. Just outside of twitter headquarters. They demanded a ban on tweets from the president claiming hes misleading followers about the electoral process. Its worth noting twitter is flagging some of the president s tweets. In the meantime, protesters gathered in both san jose and oakland yesterday demanding a ballot count in battleground states. Demanding that those counts continue. Coming up for you at 6 45, our decision 2020 coverage continues. Today in the bay kris sanchez will break down the Record Number of voters across the state and she has an update on how many votes still need to be counted. A live look in San Francisco for you this morning and covid cases are spiking, unfortunately, just in time for the holidays. Now, Bay Area Health leaders are already considering the added health risk from large family gatherings. Cierra johnson is live in San Francisco. Cierra, i know this Holiday Season will look a lot different for a lot of people. It definitely is. Its really hard to believe that thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. But with thanksgiving and then christmas, much like weve seen in the past, folks are going to want to get together and with that comes the risk of an uptick in cases. So, with that, according to the examiner Health Officials are exploring the idea of having a 14day quarantine period after travel outside of the area. Now, according to the examiner, that group of Public Officials is exploring the idea of quarantining as pandemic fatigue and ticket prices continue to entice people outside of the area. The proposal wouldnt be an order, much more of a strong recommendation. This comes as many states approach the third wave of the virus. That combined with the flu in terms of covid numbers. The bay area as a whole has seen lower numbers but the numbers do continue to rise. But Health Experts worry about how two major holidays could impablth thi impact that. The state of new york announced a quarantine for out of state and international visitors. Those with a negative test within 72 hours are still required to quarantine, but just for three days. So, as we approach the holidays, its still smart to remember to do what you can to really slow the spread. Holidays are going to be a very interesting time and nothing like anything weve ever seen before. Cierra johnson for today in the bay. Thank you, cierra. Lets get a look at our forecast right now at 6 10. We saw fog rolling over san jose and seeing it clearing out downtown but may still be in the foothills so watching out for that as we start out on this thursday. But we are going to have a very Beautiful Day nice, comfortable temperatures. This is the last day of it. Get out there and enjoy it as our highs reach up to 79 degrees in napa, oakland will reach 73 degrees and san jose reaching 77 and some low 80s for a few spots in the inland valleys. Mike, hows it looking right now for the morning commute . Well, kari, the live camera and talked about the changes. Lets show the map because you and i share that weather data, as well. On the map you see that the orange or yellowish kind of highlighting here in the south bay shows you where there is going to be pretty low visibility considering the fact that it is the south bay. We dont see fog 280 interchange there. North 101 where the arrow is recovery the crash at oakland road on the shoulder was a distraction. Less of a distraction and the slowing is clearing there. The rest of the bay pretty it inical pattern in ic the live look shows you the backup all lanes here and the earlier crash on the span cleared without incident. So the backup only from about the 880 overcrossing to the metering lights including the toll plaza. Back to you. Thanks so much. 6 11 right now. Still ahead, how some in the bay area are handling their postelection stress. So far election expectations are sending stocks higher. Will that last . Well check with our live cnbc news desk coming up and well see the futures are up. Bubbles at this price . Is this for real . Oh, its real. Believe me. I mean this is upexpected. You would say. Remarkable . Absolutly. A remarkable deal. Thanks. I get that all the time. Wait. What . grocrey outlet jingle the time is 6 14. Its been a stressful week so if youre able to relax and get away, head to the beach. Its going to be the last day well get some sunshine here and some nice, calm waves. Were going to see a storm system coming in by tomorrow bringing clouds and much cooler temperatures. Well talk about that in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. And i dont want to make you stressed but i just want to let you know that the san mateo bridge move smoothly but a little more congested and look at low clouds hover around the high rise there and also hovering around 880, for example, visibility for drivers is just fine but there is that glow and farther south in Silicon Valley you might find patches where its a little tougher to see. Were just watching out for that. Thanks so much, mike. 6 15 right now. The undecided president ial race so far not having a big impact on the market. Joining us now at cnbc bertha coombs. Bertha so far so good when it comes to the markets. Thats right, marcus and laura. We have actually the dow looking to open up about 300 points. The nasdaq up about 250 points after a huge rally yesterday. We saw the dow actually gain 370 points, though that was well off of the highs of the day. The nasdaq was huge. Up 430 points or 3. 8 . In fact, the s p 500 and the nasdaq had their best postelection day rally on record. Investors right now are focused on the possibility that it looks like you may see joe biden take the president ial race and you may see the senate remain in republican hands. Gridlock generally good for the markets. Think about the two biggest pieces of ledgestratigislation last decade. They would hold. One being obama care. Health care stocks up big and the others the tax breaks passed by the republicans in 2017. You have gridlock. Youre not likely to see major change on that. That would be good for tech and thats what you saw that big tech rebound, people coming back into those stocks yesterday. Back over to you. Yeah, so, it will be really interesting to see if the president ial race lingers on what we really will expect from investors, as well. Where the markets will go. That is the thing. If this goes on, the uncertainty goes on like we saw in 2000 and were talking another 30 days and it ends up in the Supreme Court, that enthusiasm will likely stay. But people also look at history. Over the last 30 years when we had gridlock, you had president of one party and a mixed congress, thats when we actually had the best returns in the stock market. And had a president whos democrat and republicans in charge of one of the houses of congress. Thats when youve seen even bigger returns somewhere along the lines of 40 during those sessions. All right. Interesting to watch. Thank you, bertha. Well, trending this morning, sonic pack your bags. Sonic the hedgehog. Most humans may not be able to get away during then pademic but one species has its own vacation destination. Take a look at this. The ukbased Company Created a holiday park for hedgehogs to hibernate during the winter. To better protect themselves from extinction. Youll never notice theyre in there, right . The company is encouraging everyone to make a do it yourself little habitat and hedgehog highways. Those are considered some paths for them to enter their winter homes. They were placed on the endangered species list for the first time this year. That is a fancy little get away for hibernating. It really is. Now, buying the home is at bay area prices or midwest prices . Yeah, that can make a big difference. He may get down by the freeway fixer upper. Nice digs there. All right. Here we go at 6 18 for you with a look at that forecast. Stepping outside today, kari, people should be happy. I think so. I mean, were trying to take it where your weekend can get some nice, quiet conditions and not have to worry about things. Were watching some fog drifting around parts of the south bay and so weve seen that on the camera there. Heres a look at our high temperatures for the afternoon as we reach up to 77 degrees in the south bay. The peninsula will reach up to 75 degrees and heading over towards the trivalley. Well reach about 79 degrees. Looking at our live camera, though. It shows you how were beginning the day and what were expecting for the afternoon with north bay reaching up to 79, San Francisco up to 69 degrees and as we head over to the east bay reaching mostly to the low 70s. Well see a lot of changes here over the next couple days. It starts tomorrow with a dip in temperatures, a storm system arriving with a cold front and its going to bring in some spotty, light showers by tomorrow afternoon. But it looks like it wont be raining all throughout the day or throughout the weekend. Were just going to see some light showers passing here and there. But mainly tomorrow evening will be the best time we can see some of the rain moving through. Looks like well take a break on saturday for the most part, but its just going to be cool and windy and then on sunday there will be another system coming in that will just kind of reinforce the cool air were feeling and bringing in another chance of some spotty showers going into sunday afternoon as well as sunday evening. But clearing out by monday. So, a lot of unsettled weather here as were getting ready for all of these changes but the models are just picking up on a few hundredths of an inch of rain and mostly up to a tenth to possibly a quarter inch of rain for parts of the east bay. But its really nice that were seeing the possibility of a significant snow storm for the sierra and it already has the winter storm watches posted. If youre going there for the weekend, be prepared for the winterlike weather. Make sure you have that emergency kit and the tire change just in case. Here were looking at a big dip in temperatures from walnut creek. Look at the sevenday forecast. 83 today and then 63 tomorrow. So, its time to dig out the winter gear possibly get ready for mornings that will dip back into the 30s. Well have more on that coming up. Mike, hows it looking right now for the commute . Well, kari, the change in the weather youre talking about already shows a little bit on our maps. If you look at the bottom of the screen as i show you the map the full screen. The highlighted yellows lower visibility, low clouds and maybe some fog through some of our san jose cameras and youre showing that, kari. A smooth drive despite the fact that youll have a little trouble seeing a little caution right now to Silicon Valley. The rest of the bay the earlier issues pretty much cleared and disabled vehicle towards the dublin interchange and a circle im watching for a few and no slowing there. Show you where theres typical slowing out of the altamont and coming down the nimitz southbound and drive through the bay bridge toll plaza beutthe metering lights are on at the toll plaza and you have your wait right there. Back to you. All right, thank you very much, mike. Picking up out there. 6 21 right now. Marijuana is gaining ground in america. Coming up, new states where voters are giving legalized pot the green light. But its not just pot, laura. One state now going far beyond that.

Arizona, montana, new jersey and south dakota are joining 11 others you see there in yellow where marijuana is already legal. Mississippi voters on tuesday approved medical marijuana, as well. In the meantime, oregon voters decriminalized drug use and legalized psychedelic mushrooms. Some cities including oakland have already done the first thing but oregon becomes the first state to do so. The outcome in the president ial race still unclear for many anxiety is growing and some in the bay area are taking their frustrations to the streets. Those demonstrators took over the intersection on the peninsula. This was yesterday, demanding every vote be counted. This is right on los altos Mountain View border on El Camino Real with many expressing stress over the uncertainty. Psychologists say theyre shared anxiety right now. Very different year compared to others not only because were in the middle of a global pandemic, but also facing natural disaster, political changes and all of which lead us to experience that we used to have.

The decision to go on and play in tonights game here at levi stadium. And today will be the last day of temperatures in the upper 70s before a major cool down comes into the bay area bringing some rain and gusty winds. Well talk about that in the forecast, coming up. Its not easy now with this pandemic. Second harvest makes me really really happy. Meatballs, mexican rice, chicken enchiladas, and mole. For almost twenty years. Speaking in spanish wild thing, you make my heart sing wild thing i. Think i. You know what i think . I think you owe us 48. 50. Wild thing. If you ride, you get it. Geico motorcycle.

But we really have seen the Dow Jones Industrial average whole day very nice jump there. You see it up a little over 1 this morning. Today in the bay continues right now. A very good wednesday morning to you, thanks so much for joining us, im laura garcia. Im marcus washington. Scott so far the markets reacting well to the point that we dont know who won the presidency. They may be reacting investors to the senate where it seems as if we cant predict for sure that it looks like the democrats will not take over the senate. That means that joe biden would not be able to pass higher taxes. Then, again, it might give them trouble trying to pass some coronavirus relief, as well. That might be what is happening there. Lets look at the electoral map, as well. Always keeping an eye on this. Watching these races as is wall street and we are expecting to get updates from nevada and pennsylvania today, as well. Laura . All right, thanks so much, scott. Well check back with you in a little bit. Right now a look at that forecast for you today. Meteorologist kari hall tracking the temperatures and looking and going to feel good today, kari. You better enjoy it because we have a lot of changes ahead. Were looking at highs today still reaching into the 70s but big changes tomorrow as the cold front moves in. It will bring in some high winds and some rain. And a big dip in temperatures. Going to stay chilly throughout the weekend with off and on showers. Today will, once again, have the last day of the spring or i should say falllike weather as we see the highs reaching up into the upper 70s for a lot of our inland valleys. Well talk more about that drop in temperatures coming up. Mike, how is it looking right now for the commute . Kari, you have a big drop in temperatures coming and i have a little drop in speeds but that affects the overall commute time. As we take a look at the bay bridge toll mrplaza a good flow and some movement in the middle lanes and we would like to see some, that is better than none. Look at the map, lower speeds coming down the east shore freeway. 20 minutes from highway 4 all the way down to the backup you just saw at the bay bridge toll plaza. No surprises but that pattern out to what you would expect there and the rest of the bay. The bottom of the screen a little fog registered for the south bay. Well talk about that and show that to you coming up. Back to you. All right, well check back with you. 6 32 right now happening today the niners host the packers tonight at levi stadium even though several players on both teams now on the covid list. Today in the bay bob redell live outside the stadium and shut down the Team Facility yesterday. Correct, marcus and laura. Yes, the 49ers shut down their headquarters which is actually located next door here at levi stadium in santa clara theyre now going to do meetings virtually until they get the all clear. After one of the teammates tested positive for covid19. Were talking about Kendrick Bourne. The first 49er to be placed on the covid19 list during the regular season. The fourth overall. Now he was wearing a mask tuesday at practice just before his positive test came back. I actually spoke with his agent yesterday. He tells me bourne is asymptomatic and he feels fine and quarantining at home. Yesterday afternoon the Team Announced three more players were placed on the covid list including samuel. The niners are already playing without jimmy g. And moster not because of covid but because of injuries. Our team knows how to deal with it. Kind of what were going through now is unprecedented i think for us and probably for anybody. But i think our guys take it as a challenge. As you guys have mentioned, three players from the Green Bay Packers have also tested positive for covid19. Between the teams, seven players will miss tonights game because of the coronavirus. Up north in berkeley a cal Football Player has tested positive. Cal is scheduled to play its first game of the season this saturday when they host washington. Reporting live here outside levi stadium in santa clara, bob redell today in the bay. Thanks. Right now Sonoma County the only county in the bay area still in the states most restrictive purple tier. Take a look at this map right here and shows you the county tiers across the bay area and the state this week, once again, denied counties or reopenings. Its been in the purple tier since august and that news comes as california top Health Officials warns of a rise in new covid cases. New top Health Leaders warn a rise in new cases and hospitalizations both up statewide. In the meantime in Contra Costa County an increase in covid19 cases and theyre now set to tighten restrictions again. Currently in the orange tier or that moderate level but now there are four cases per 100,000 people daily. So county leaders are deciding to get out in front of that problem. Things such as bars are no longer going to be able to serve alcohol unless its with a meal which takes you back to the red standard. Restaurants are going to need to go back to the 25 capacity rather than the 50 . Starting tomorrow that order will go into effect. Meantime, no mask, no shirt, no shoes, no service. Call it the new covidstyle refrain from businesses in los angeles. Theyre now allowed to refuse service to anyone not wearing a mask. Council members signed off on that new ordinance yesterday citing Small Business owners and employees who are risking their lives to stay afloat. They say wearing a mask is one easy way to lower that risk. So, we just gave you a short break from election coverage, did you like it . Our Team Coverage also continues next. Not quite a long break, as laura said. Were talking election coverage. Were asking voters how are you feeling postelection and i think we speak for most of us. Were also taking a look at social mead quu adia and some o things that are just simply wrong. Lets take you out to the big board, as well. We were talking about this earlier. A big spike on the dow.

Were taking a trip around the country this morning in our decision 2020 coverage. Now, i want to show you a live look from las vegas and phoenix. Two areas being closely watched as votes are still being counted there and the president ial race. Nevada and arizona among the states too close to call. Want to head to philly right now and a live look where people are counting those votes. Theyve been doing it all night. Again, another state just too close to call. In the meantime, the president is suing to stop the count in three battleground states. Heres nbc Peter Alexander at the white house. Hey, marcus and laura. Good morning to you in the bay area. Thats why they call this election week and not election day. We have not seen the president since the wee hours of election day but hearing plenty from him and his lawyers filing those lawsuits in three states, michigan, pennsylvania and georgia. In wisconsin they are requesting a recount. For contacts the last recount was in 2016 and earned candidate trump 131 additional votes. He is down by 20,000 in the state right now so that appears to be a high hurdle for him. In arizona, the former, the republican governor there has been advising the president and his team that there are enough votes left there for him to try to pull out a win. The bottom line it appears in the places where the president s trailing, they want the officials to keep counting. And those places where hes ahead, theyre trying to freeze the vote. Take michigan and pennsylvania. On twitter, the president has been casting more doubt on the integrity of the election fueling conspiracy theories about cheating and fraud, but to this point, theres no evidence of that. Back to you guys in the bay area. Tracie, what is the latest with bidens campaign . So, the latest is that they say they are ready to deal with the president s challenges. Legal challenges. The latest in michigan and in pennsylvania. They believe that theres a path to victory here either through pennsylvania or through nevada and out west in nevada specifically because they are so close within 7,000 votes. Also in arizona but they still have a lot of votes to count. In arizona with biden there. They have a couple paths to victory here and that is why it is a wait and see game but they believe the legal challenges are baseless and the biden team says that they have a number of lawyers on standby to fight these challenges, not only in michigan and in pennsylvania, but pending challenges in georgia and nevada. Tracie potts in delaware, thank you. A look at the state of the Electoral College and joe biden holds the lead but as you can see right there, several states have yet to be called. There will be updates today from nevada and pennsylvania. Yeah, those updates coming this morning from pennsylvania. Also today scott mcgrew an update from President Trumps lawyers who want this to play out in court. Yeah, they allege wrongdoing but as pete pointed out, there is no evidence of any wrongdoing and theyre not providing and a conservative spokesperson and adviser to the white house says he will hold a press conference in las vegas at 8 30. E Rudy Giuliani had their own press conference making claims of and providing no proof. The Trump Campaign has filed a number of lawsuits but as we were discussing earlier, much of what theyre asking for is unlikely to change the outcome. Also a number of changes on twitter and social media and as you might guess, theyre incorrect. Election officials in arizona say nothing to the socalled sharpie gate. Some counters were given sharpie markers to mark their ballots and talk on social media those ballots would not be accepted. Now, Maricopa County says those ballots are fine and, yes, they will be counted. Speaking of tweets. A lot of americans retweeting. Every single ballot were for joe biden. Well, it turns out the number was a typo made be an election official who later corrected it. This twitter user later tweeted his own correction but by then it had gone viral. That typo had no effect on the actual outcome. Remember a secretary of state will eventually certify the outcome. The other thing on social media that people are being constantly surprised by or saying theyre surprised by is this idea that state counts start with republicans aheado only for democrats to catch up and this should not be a surprise. Weve been talking about it for weeks and fox news warned its viewers. A live look at that philadelphia counting, mailin ballots could not be counted in pennsylvania until tuesday and theyre still being counted as they come in so long as they are postmarked on or before election day. President trump tweeting out what i assume he meant as a criticism but could be read as just plain fact. We are winning pennsylvania big but the pennsylvania secretary of state Just Announced that there are millions of ballots left to be counted. President trump discouraged his fans from using mailin ballots. Biden encouraged his supporters to use mailin ballots. Walkin votes were counted first in pennsylvania. They supported trump, generally speaking. Mailin ballots counted second and are still being counted and, marcus and laura, they tend to lead towards biden. So, theres nothing suspicious happening here. Its happening exactly as many of us predicted it would. Well, and we know that california voters registered in Record Numbers for this election. Many here voted very early. So, a lot of californians may be a little frustrated right now that these battleground states are holding up the count. Thats why we want to bring in kris sanchez in san jose. What are they saying with these results still up in the air. I think the voters are saying what a lot of us are feeling. Just a little bit baggy staying up past our bedtimes a little bit watching for those results to change. No matter what side youre on if youre just a democracy nerd like me. We know a lot of californians were vested in this election. They really wanted to vote. In the bay area 3. 5 Million People in the nine counties requested ballots. At this point, almost 56 of those ballots have been counted. We know ballots mailed in on election day are still trickling in keeping election workers busy here just as scott was reporting. And we asked voters how theyre feeling about waiting for those results in the president ial election and we found people are stressed, but theyre also hopeful. A little anxious, nervous. You know, what everyone is feeling. Yeah. A little scared. A lot of uncertainty, but, i mean, even though we dont know what the results are, all i can do is be hopeful. It is kind of frustrating but, you know, every vote has got to be counted to make sure, right . Right, even though we do like instant gratification. On twitter people did say, dont trust the polls. Understand that the usa is divided in half and dont give up on our democracy. Another person said i feel exactly how i thought i would feel. I will respect President Trump or president biden, no more riots. Its 2020, why should we expect a smooth election. Another historical milestone for this year. Hector hernandez says people on both sides need to chill and wait for results. Jennifer says ive been waiting for it to be done and no drama and no lawsuits and protests and fight covid and get our normalcy back. Serio seriously, its been an exhausting year. A lot of folks would agree with you, jennifer. This will take a long time to play out. Some of the challenges have timelines attached to them. We heard perhaps beyond thanksgiving is when we can expect results, but, of course, well have to be patient and wait and see even though we are so used to that instant gratification. No kidding. And youre supposed to stay away from politics at the thanksgiving table. But i guess this year doesnt matter because no one can come to the table anyway. Were in this pandemic. Which is fine. Right. Talk amongst yourself, literally. Thanks. Time to get a look at that forecast for you. Look at this. A beautiful shot of oakland, hey, fog is sticking around for us this morning which means a little cooler in that area. Meteorologist kari hall has a more accurate look at what we can do with this forecast. Im giving my opinion, kari. We are seeing some fog in spots where we normally dont see it. This is the view in san jose where visibility now down to a quarter mile or less. Big heads up about that before you get ready to head out the door in the south bay, we are going to see that fog clearing out and overall a really nice day. It will shape up to be the last warm day well have in quite a while reaching into the upper 70s in san jose, up to 81 today in antioch, as well as morgan hill and napa today will see a high of 79 degrees. Still some 60s near the coastline. As we go through the forecast, were waiting for a cold front to come in and bring in a blast of some Cool Temperatures and also a slight chance of spotty showers. The rain will be possible throughout tomorrow afternoon, kind of off and on around the bay area and then well see it continuing into friday night into saturday morning. Well see it clearing out and looks like well see a break for a lot of the rain chances on saturday. So thats probably your best day to get outside. Even though its going to be cool and breezy. And then as we go towards sunday, another wave that could bring in a chance of some scattered showers, as well as some sierra snow. Were going to see this off and on throughout the day on sunday. And then tapering off before we head into the new workweek. So, take a look at our sevenday forecast. We are going from the upper 70s today to the upper 50s tomorrow. Big change, once again. And, so, were having to dig out the coats and the hats and the umbrellas. We need to get all of that ready and possibly early next week as we start our mornings in the upper 30s, you may have to turn on the heater, at least ill be getting out the heated blanket. Well see a big cool down in the forecast that will continue as well as in San Francisco with our highs reaching into the upper 60s today but then 50s throughout the weekend as, once again, we track the off and on showers moving through. Mike, its looking clear for the morning commute for most of us, but then we have fog in unusual places. Yeah, so, thats a great warning for folks, kari. At least an advisory, not a warning. Nuthing to be scared about. Lets look at the bay bridge toll plaza. Folks do fear the backup. Moving a little better than it has for most of the time when the metering lights have been on. An earlier issue on the span as we take a look at the map that was westbound and causing a big backup. That set off the backup and the metering lights. Right now another issue but on the eastbound direction lower deck getting in and out of San Francisco. So, well track that and ill alert you if theres a problem. The arrow does show you generally slowing down the east shore freeway and predictable under 20 minutes from highway 4 to the backup that you saw at the toll plaza and the rest of the bay, a smooth drive. This bottom portion here where theres fog registered. Kari showed you at 280 at 17 in the middle of the screen and show you the oakland camera, as well. Not the oakland camera, the fremont camera, same freeway, though, 880. We dont have the camera right now and the fog has created an issue over there and it shouldnt be a problem for drivers, just low visibility as you travel 880 past tesla. Good to know. Mike, thanks.

Really hard to believe that were just a couple months away from thanksgiving and then a couple weeks away from thanksgiving rather and then a couple weeks after that, christmas. And like some of the holidays weve seen before like fourth of july, memorial day, folks will want to get together and with that is the increased risk of having some of that covid spread. According to the examiner, Health Officials are looking to endorse a 14day quarantine for those traveling outside of the u. S. Now, according to the examiner, a group of public Health Officials exploring the idea of a 14day quarantine as the pandemic fatigue and lower than normal ticket prices continue to entice people to travel outside of the area. Now, the proposal wouldnt be in order so much more of a strong recommendation. This comes as many states are approaching that third wave of the virus combined with flu season. In terms of covid numbers, the bay area has been lower than many of the other metropolitan areas but our numbers are rising like everyone else. Health experts that two major holidays could impact where our numbers are. This week the state of new york announced a 14day quarantine for those out of state and international visitors. Those with a negative test would only have to quarantine for three days. A lot to keep in mind here as we approach the holidays.
