I see changes in the trivalley. Well have that coming up. Mike, thank you. President elect bidens transition is now official with the green light from the Trump Administration to get to work. Here is a live look at the white house. This is where, despite the new development, the president is not giving up his fight against the election results. Today in the bays tracie potts joins us with the very latest. Good morning, tracie. Reporter good morning, everyone. The president said he will continue to fight but will also now cooperate with the biden transition. Theyve lost time. They have 57 days to get ready to run this country. The pentagon overnight announced they will be working with the biden team. And here is a little bit of a civics lesson about how that happened. Determining an apparent president ial winner opens the door to more than 7 million in Government Funds for the biden transition and allows them to coordinate with the federal government. General Services Director emily murphy insists her delayed decision was not political. And while President Trump says for the first time hell direct federal employees to comply, he added that legal challenges are moving full speed ahead, and he will never concede. The election was stolen and President Trump won by a landslide. Reporter president elect biden moving forward appearing this afternoon with newly announced cabinet nominees making history with two never before held by women. Former Federal Reserve chair janet yellen as treasury secretary, and avril haines as director of national intelligence. Plus alejandro mayorkas, the first immigrant and latino to serve as secretary. Hes telling the rest of the world we are back, this is our a team. Reporter biden telling the nations mayors were here for you and were going to listen to you. Reporter former diplomat Linda Thomasgreenfield as ambassador to the united nationss. Jake sullivan as National Security adviser. Longtime Foreign Policy adviser tony blinken as secretary of state. And former secretary of state john kerry as a special envoy on climate. So you may remember or recognize some of those names from the obama administration. Laura and marcus, we are told that the Foreign Service and the National Security team will be announced today, the Economic Team likely announced early next week. All right. A lot of information coming out of the white house in washington. Thanks, tracie, reporting live from washington. Today on nbcnbc nightly new lester hold will sit down with president elect joe biden. The first enter view since clinching the presidency. Nightly news begins at 5 30 right after nbc bay area news at 5 00. To the pandemic and california is reporting more than 8,000 new infections with 50 additional deaths. There have been 1. 1 million cases and nearly 19,000 people have died. However, the deaths in the state are trending downward. The California Hospital Association says its due to increased testing and better treatment. Other Health Experts warn up to 30 of those diagnosed are experiencing longterm health consequences. Along with the surge in cases growing demand for covid tests before the thanksgiving holiday. People just want to know if theyre in the clear before they see family. Today in the bays bob redell is live in Contra Costa County looking at whats being done to meet that demand. A lot of people lined up, bob. Reporter good morning to you, marcus. Contra costa county and what theyre doing now they temporarily stopped administering flu shots so they can focus on testing people for covid19 at drivein test sites like the one behind me in san ramon. Demand here is surging as people try to get tested before traveling or getting together for the thanksgiving holiday with their family and friends this upcoming thursday. Contra costa county says covid tests are available for those who are symptomatic and for first responders. Otherwise apointments are fully booked if you are asymptomatias. Nbc bay area checked with a local pharmacy here in the county when we said we were asymptomatic and could not get an appointment for a free test but you could get tested if you were willing to pay 139. We spoke with a woman who just returned from portland. She paid to get tested for the sake of her kids at home and mother who has leukemia. I havent seen them since february, so i miss them a lot. Im staying as safe as i can and they are, too. Were going to double mask up and a shield on. Lots of Hand Sanitizer and just not really afraid. Reporter that couple you just heard from did not take a covid test before flying back home to phoenix but said they are being cautious. Last week Contra Costa County before a Turkey Campaign encouraged people to get swabbed before thursdays holiday. Again, as i mentioned demand is really high and if you are asymptomatic most places you will have to pay for it on your own before the holiday. Reporting live, bob redell, today in the bay. Sonoma county is reportedly putting a halt to School Reopening applications. The press democrat reports the process was put on hold yesterday due to rising case numbers.

The pastor says the attacker is known in the community and one of those victims is a shelter worker who was trying to intervene. But they say through all of this, this will not deter them from their work. Were dedicated to serving those individuals in the best way we possibly can. Thats what we do.

It can be very chilly as long as the waves are good. I think a lot of people still will be heading to the beach and we dont see the fog that weve seen the past couple of days except for around the napa area. Take a look at the visibility down to threequarters of a mile. We do see some light fog around santa rosa as well. We may have the fog in parts of the north bay. Mostly clear in the south bay.

We are seeing more of the same weather, a very quiet weather pattern here, and were seeing still some active weather across the Pacific Northwest with a few of the storms moving in. Here the storms reach the bay area the rain just dries up. We have had decent amounts of snowfall and we were talking about some of the ski resorts opening today. Thats a live look at squaw creek resort there and its very nice but a cool morning. Lets take a look at our snowfall totals weve had so far this season. Weve had up to 40 inches of snow at sierra and tahoe. Its been decent but we could use a lot more and well see still some dry weather in the forecast. It is slightly cooler heading to thanksgiving here in the bay area. Mike, any issues popping up now for the morning commute . We have a little change here and also what ive been watching out for in the east bay lets take folks out and make the map bigger. Were going to look over on the right side of the screen where we do see a smooth flow of traffic but also that little shift in the altamont and 84 coming to livermore. Nothing dramatic there. Over here watching 880 southbound heading down to 23rd. Taking it down a couple lanes overnight. Sometimes we see flowing but right now no problem.

Later today bay area counties will learn where they fit in the states newest covid assessment and the clock may be ticking for at least two of the counties now outside the most restrictive purple tier. Cierra johnson is live. Its all about the numbers so what are they saying . Reporter good morning. Weve been looking at the numbers all day and i can tell you san mateo and San Francisco are approaching that gray area where they may enter from red to purple. Three of the counties in the bay area, san mateo, San Francisco and marin, are in red. So looking at covid dashboards, the latest numbers reveal 70 new cases in San Francisco, which brings the total number of cases to just over 14,000. And in terms of testing the fourday average is at 2. 3 for positivity. That is about half a percent up from two weeks ago. San mateo was also seeing increases with the recorded 250 cases well above the 105 sevenday average. If they are downgraded to purple, operations for things like movie theaters, houses of worship, museums and gyms would require to shut down within 24 hours and the curfew 10 00 p. M. To 5 00 a. M. Would go into effect two days after that tier change. Now we could learn more about those numbers as the department of health is holding that virtual covid update at noon today so only a matter of hours before we can tell whether or not those counties will, in fact, be downgraded. Live in San Francisco, Cierra Johnson for today in the bay. Thanks so much. More detailed cases are climbing so high in Southern California l. A. County leaders are on the verge of issuing a new stayathome order. Here is a live look, in fact. The county is averaging 4,500 new cases per day.

The company has announced it will no longer support the Trump Administration in its efforts to loosen clean air standards. Instead its siding with california and leading environmental groups. Gm also asked other automakers to join them in switching sides which toyota now says it is considering. Analysts say this may just be a matter of backing the winning team with Joe Biden Taking Office in january. This week more tahoe ski resorts opened. Squaw valley and Alpine Meadows opened today. On friday the sugar bowl, heavenly, north star were the first to open last week n. Most cases youll have to book your lift passes with major restrictions on the slopes. Make sure you check ahead because a lot of these lift tickets are already selling out, kari. So what about snow, though, in the forecast. Any plans . No snow in the forecast. Weve had a little bit over the past couple of weeks but, of course, we could use more this is a live look at the cold temperatures and that live view that were seeing right now at the resort at squaw creek. It is beautiful. And so far weve had up to 40 inches of snow at sierra at tahoe. Other areas have had over two feet of snow which is decent but at this point we are normally seeing a lot more snow. I dont see anything in the forecast. No bay area rain. Well talk about that in a few minimum. Mike, how is it looking with this dry morning commute . Well, its looking great as far as those conditions go because the roadways are dry, no spinouts reported. Well take you out to the maps and we dont see any real surprises for the Speed Sensors. Surprisingly light for a tuesday. 5 37. Remember, this is the week of thanksgiving. I expect slowing before 6 00 as the crew clears. So far its eastbound 580 a crash at lake shore. No slowing there and no problems at the toll plaza. Kris . Reporter a Covid Vaccine could be weeks away. How does it get from that lab to your arm . Well talk about the Distribution Plan here in california. Plus, its official as the gsa says joe biden is the president elect. Well go over what that means coming up. And the historic move by the nfl, the team that has a lot of people buzzing the morning after taking the field. Plus a royal uproar. The concern Princess Dianas brother is raising about the Netflix Series the crown. Youre watching today in the bay. Good Tuesday Morning. At 5 41 slightly lower visibility as the fog rolls into the trivalley. A look at this live view in dublin. And drifting around parts of the bay area with cold temperatures, starting out in the low 40s. We will see some sunshine today. We will talk about that and the forecast coming up in a few minute. A view of the bay bridge toll plaza. We see fewer headlights and no brake lights. Again, well see how it affects the trivalley coming up. President elect joe biden will get the things he needs to prepare for the white house. Emily murphy, most people never heard of before this, she herself says she wished to remain behind the scenes but as administrator of the General Services administration its her job to open up the funds and give the goahead for an incoming president to begin the transition. Shes been hesitating all this time because donald trump never conceded. Murphy finally made her decision after concluding trumps Court Battles are all ending in defeat. She herself thinks the rules give her far too power writing i strongly urge congress to consider amendments to the General Services act that gives her the decision to make. She also added she had not been under any pressure to delay the transition writing i was never directly or indirectly pressured by any executive branch official including those who worked at the white house. Murphys decision funds bidens transition but, more importantly, clears the way for Trump Officials to talk to biden officials about classified information. Perhaps, most importantly, about the plans to fight coronavirus and some day distribute a vaccine. Under normal circumstances the outgoing president gives the incoming president as much information as quickly as possible. The exception to that was during the bush gore election which was held up by the supreme court. The delay in getting the information to the eventual winner, george w. Bush, was cited in the 9 11 report as part of the reason america was so unprepared. President trump says the fight is not over tweeting what does gsa being allowed to preliminarily work with the democrats have to do with continuing to pursue our various causes on what will go down as the most corrupt election in american political history . Things are moving full speed ahead. So, too, is the process. Michigan has certified its election with joe biden as the winner. Georgia, which joe biden won, has acknowledged President Trump cant have a recount. Theres no specific evidence brought to us if anybody has done anything wrong and, again, both parties have the opportunity to view this in real time when it was being done. President trump chooses the National Turkey between, between corn and cob, a job president obama didnt like and president carter refused to do. As we showed you yesterday a lot of twitter users noted a turkey pardon from a few years ago sounds particularly interesting now. The winner of this vote was decided by a fair and open election conducted on the white house website. This was a fair election. Unfortunately, refused to concede and demanded a recount and i will tell you weve come to a conclusion, im sorry to tell you the result did not change. Well find out today whether corn or cob is the National Turkey. Both of them get pardoned, for the record. You can follow that on twitter. Im scottmcgrew. What cracks me up most are the names. Corn and cob. Senator Dianne Feinstein plans to step down from the Senate Judiciary committee. Shes currently the highest ranking democrat. Feinstein is not elaborating about the exact reason why but says she plans to focus on climate change. This follows criticism of the way she handled Justice Amy Coney barretts confirmation hearing. To the pandemic and as scientists work on a vaccine thats safe and effective, the question is will people be willing to get one and how will that happen . Today in the bays kris sanchez is live for us in san jose and, kris, lets start here at home. What is the plan rolling out that vaccine . Reporter theres a saying vaccinations dont save lives, vaccines do. It doesnt matter if theres a shot. You have to get one. Thats why the work to create this distribution web is so critically important. Now that we know we could see our first vaccine get fda emergency approval within the next couple of weeks. Let me show you what the governor said just yesterday. Hes working on a plan for the state to put 2. 4 Million Health care workers at the front of the line vofollowed by vulnerable populations, people who are medically vulnerable. The state already has existing infrastructure. Think about it, the state does distribute millions of doses of routine vaccinations every year like for the flu. Even though widespread distribution is still months away, the clock is ticking because the fda is considering emergency approval for that Pfizer Vaccine on december 10th. As you likely novak seens by moderna and astrazeneca are close behind. The astrazeneca one seems to be more shelf stable so perhaps the one you and i will get as regular joes. Having and getting a vaccine are two different things. Nurses may be at the front of the line but only a third of them say they will get that vaccine for sure according to the National Nurses association. Theyre not saying no. 58 of americans average joes say they will get the vaccine which is actually more people than back in september according to gallup polling. An interesting thing as a parent, i dont believe any of these vaccine trials include vaccination tests on children, so it will be a different decision for families to say mom and dad will get one. What are we going to do about the kids . We do want them to go back to school at some point. I would like to know where you fall on the continuum. Ill put it up on facebook and twitter. Kris sanchez, today in the bay. Before you go, kris, lets chat more. Until we get this vaccine, its important to stress that personal choices matter when it comes to squashing the current surge were in. Reporter you probably noticed i havent been wearing a mask because we are out here so early in the morning and we are 6 feet apart, my cameraman and i, now that things have gotten so serious i think its wise to do everything you possibly can. Maybe it wont make a difference but maybe it will. And wouldnt it be nice to do everything you can do to keep you and people you know safe. We are in a surge. We have to do something. Thanks, kris. It is 5 49 right now. The nfl is adding new covid rules requiring all players to wear a mask on the sidelines unless they have their helmet on. Strict limits will be placed on the number of players traveling to road games. Espn is now confirm San Franciscos Trent William is infected. Hes also a cancer survivor. He is feeling fine and expects to recover. The team placed him on the covid list once before but only for close contact. Nine niners are on the covid list. We dont know how many tested positive. They travel to play the rams next sunday. Speaking of the rams, their game in tampa made nfl history. The first time an allblack nfl officiating crew took to the field. Veteran ref boger led the team. He wore a uniform once worn by johnny greer, the first ever black nfl referee starting in 1988. The rams beat tampa in a close one, 2724. Trending this morning, a royal uproar over the portrayal of Princess Diana in the crown. Dianas brother is speaking out as her private life comes back into spotlight. In a recent interview producers asked to film at their family home. He said no. He also said the show should not be considered a History Lesson and instead considered fiction. Also trending a new star wars character. Sort of. Fans are calling in jeans guy as he appears by accident. This is in the scene, one of the mandalorian episodes. Viewers quickly took note during the fight scene. One created a mock of that account. You see right there, jeans guy, action figure. Now thats pretty cool. Im amazed amazed when people can find just the smallest little thing. It probably happened so quickly. There was another show where there was a Starbucks Coffee in it yes. Game of thrones. Thats just weird no one notices that. Time to get a look at the forecast. We are seeing low visibility in some spots. Weve seen that throughout the morning and started to see the fog drifting into the trivalley as well. Watch out as you drive to work this morning. Going for a hike it will start out cloudy but by 9 00 were start to go see the skies part and well see the clear skies throughout the day with our high temperatures reaching into the upper 50s here right along the immediate coastline. Some spots inland will be slightly warmer, up to 64 in livermore and in martinez. Santa rosa today up to 64 degrees and reaching 60 degrees in San Francisco.
