Kari has a look at our forecast. It is mostly cleared compared to yesterday morning. Weve seen some patches of some fog in some low lying areas. As we take a live look in san jose as the sun rises its all clear. We will have some sunshine for today and a touch cooler heading for thanksgiving and this weekend well continue with the mild and dry weather with our High Temperature today reaching into the low to mid60s. All good here. Well talk about whats ahead in the forecast and if we can get any rain coming up in a few minimum. Mike, how is it looking for the commute . Well, the bay bridge toll plaza metering lights have perhaps turned on in the last couple of minutes. I do see some slowing at the toll plaza, brake lights. As we look at the toll plaza itself the middle lanes are the first to stack up right on schedule. As we look at the map its not as severe as we often see. A lighter pattern for thanksgiving week but we still have some slowing for the areas. Do keep that in mind. A lot of slowing westbound 580 approaching lake shore. The crash was reported on the eastbound side. That cleared up suddenly and without explanation for either the clearing. Well monitor that but so far oakland looks great. So does the rest of the bay. I do have an incident in the Santa Cruz Mountains well talk about coming up. Back to you. All right, thank you very much, mike. This is concerning. Bay area covid19 cases have now topped 140,000. Nearly 2,000 people died and the number of cases are spiking. The testing rate is also blowing up. Bob redell with more in san ramon. Reporter what Contra Costa County is doing is stopped temporarily administering flu shots to focus on covid testing at places like this one in san ramon. The demand for these tests are surging here and in other parts of the bay area as people try to get tested before traveling or getting together for the thanksgiving holiday with their family and friends. Contra costa county says covid tests are available for those who are symptomatic and for first responders. Otherwise appointments are fully booked. If youre asymptomatic you can get a test result in time if youre willing to pay for it. Nbc bay area checks in with a local pharmacy yesterday here in the county. When we said we were asymptomatic we could not get an appointment for a free test but could get tested if we were willing to pay 139. We spoke with a woman at Oakland International who just returned from portland. She paid to get tested for her kids at home and her mother who has leukemia. Whatever it costs i will do. Were going to double mask up and put a shield on and not eat or drink anything on the plane. Lots of Hand Sanitizer and just not really afraid. Reporter that couple did not take a covid test before flying back home to phoenix. Now just because you test negative doesnt mean you should still travel or gather with people outside your bubble. Its still possible you are infectious if you get tested a day or two after exposure because theres not enough virus built up to show up on a test. Those rapid onehour tests produce a higher rate of false negatives. Are we getting an idea of what people are planning to do . Im being conservative not going anywhere and no one is coming over. Reporter laura and marcus, you want to Pay Attention to one survey put out by nerd wallet, take a look at some of the numbers. Now this is of the people who usually travel or get together during the thanksgiving holiday. 42 of those people say now they wont travel or visit with family or friends. 28 wont drive out of town. Of those who are traveling, 26 say they will spend less time away from home. Covid19 is having some impact on peoples plans. Marcus, laura . Were seeing more people not traveling. We know people will travel no matter what. Good to see that number a little bit higher. Thanks so much, bob. 6 05 this morning. President elect bidens transition is now getting the official green light from the Trump Administration. Despite the latest development the president is not giving up on his fight to overturn the election. We have Team Coverage on this developing news beginning at the white house with nbcs peter alexander. Reporter marcus and laura, good morning to you from here at the white house. The biden transition now officially under way after that long delay that had drawn fierce criticism. The trumpappointed administrator of a General Services administration in a letter to biden on monday writes that she was never directly or indirectly pressured by any executive branch official to hold things up. Her decision finally clears the way for bidens team to receive federal money and resources. And for his advisers to start coordinating with Trump Administration officials. For his part President Trump on twitter reluctantly acknowledged the news but still refused to concede. Well have the latest when we see you that morning on today.

Thats what we believe weve been called to do by god. This is our mission in a sense. Now there were no Services Going on at the time of the attack. The church usually shelters about 35 people.

Mike, how is it looking right now for the commute . Kari, overall the map looks just fine. We have your typical slowing for 84 and 580 through the trivalley. Well show that in a second. As we look at the maps we have to zoom down to the bottom of the screen. So if youre expecting the santa cruz side coming north in towards los gatos it will be really held up right now. In fact, i think both lanes may be blocked by a car that crashed into the Center Divide is across lanes. North is slow. North of the summit is where this is going on. They may be letting folks on the shoulder. Waiting for the chp update. On the bay bridge looks like folks are stopped at the bottom of the screen. You see the lanes just off the hov lanes not moving. No incidents reported. Im going to check on that. They may have just turned the metering lights on. The update coming up. Back to you. Pretty busy out there. Thanks, mike. 6 10.

Janet yellen will get the next job as the next secretary of the treasury, the first woman to run the federal reserve. If she takes the job the first woman to head the United States treasury. If you want some fun trivia, or at least i think its interesting, she will not be the first woman to have her signature on american money. In fact, theres been a woman signature on the dollar since the 1950s. Two people sign our money. The u. S. Treasurer who works under the secretary. Its been an unbroken string ever since. Where wall street is headed, investors pleased with the pick, though its not official yet. The General Services administration has cleared the way for bidens official transition. Investors like that, too.

Well, a mystery in the utah desert started when state officials were flying over southeastern utah doing normal routine stuff when they stumbled upon this. A large metal monolith about 11 feet tall and found in the middle of red rock just hanging out. Utahs bureau of Land Management will decide whether further investigation is needed. Joking around that one of us suddenly disappears then i guess the rest of us make a run for it. I assume it is some new wave artist or something or somebody who is a big 2001 space odyssey fan. Some believe it was likely placed by an artist rather than an alien. Also, theyre not revealing its exact location or where it might even end up. Pretty cool, though, to see. 6 18 for you that morning. Time to get a look at the forecast for you as you head out. Meteorologist kari hall is working hard for us. Today will be a nice one out there. Yeah, its already really nice. Weve started to see the sun rise and for most of us its pretty clear. As we get a live look in walnut creek we are not dealing with any dense fog, at least in this spot, but weve seen it in other spots especially some of our valleys this morning. Its cold. Grab a jacket before you step out the door. Were in the mid40s here. Some low 40s expected around sunrise. A nice warmup. As we go through our my crow climates the warmup will be happening as we head to lunch time. Well see some low to mid60s for today for our afternoon highs thats about normal for this time of year. All of that sunshine and clear skies will allow our temperatures to cool off once again later this evening as we head to sunset well be back in the 50s and later on tonight well start out in the 50s again. Looking at the same weather pattern but there will be a cold front moving through by wednesday just in time for thanksgiving to drop our temperatures. It doesnt bring us any rain. In fact, even as we see some systems moving by to our north, the rain dries up before it approaches the bay area. So here is a look live in squaw creek. Such a beautiful shot near lake tahoe. And it was nice to see the snow that fell, but if youre heading there for the holiday weekend, we are not going to see any new snow. Theyre having to make it, but what we got from Mother Nature was up to 40 inches at sierra at tahoe and most spots more than 2 feet of snow measured from the past couple of storms. Usually at this point we are getting our first or even second or third atmospheric river. We havent seen that yet and were not seeing it in the forecast. So as we head to thanksgiving if youre going to be outside its going to be cool. Our High Temperatures in the valleys only reach up to 60 degrees and its going to be a cold start near freezing that morning and those are the kinds of days well see leading into early next week. Mike, youve been looking at the commute. Anything new coming up . Yes, two spots really concerned with here, kari. Light traffic but the bay bridge toll plaza did see metering lights turned on and a quick slowdown, a quick backup, i should say, filling in all lanes right here. Theres an incident on the bay bridge. I think its actually westbound judging by the Speed Sensors and judging by the reaction when it did slow the lights down. Were looking at a disabled vehicle westbound on the span. Well keep monitoring that. That is your big backup folks might not be expecting. Also unexpected is the slow drive for the Santa Cruz Mountains is there. Northbound 17 right around id idydwild. Were watching that. Meanwhile the southbound side looks lick a distraction for those lights heading to the summit as well. We have a chance for laura to clear her throat. I hope youre okay. Back to you. Are you okay, friend . Okay. Up next Holiday Shopping scams you need to know about. First nbc bay area responds. Reporter mailboxes are an easy target for thieves.

The company normally would shut down fifth avenue for their iconic event. This year the event, however, was live streamed. Well, theres a lot of talk about how the shopping season will play out with all the restrictions were under. So far experts believe retailers will have a robust season and may grow as much as 5 compared to last november with about 760 billion. Retail remembers making it easier for many black friday deals already in place and many top retailers offering curbside pickup. Thieves are taking advantage of the pandemic to strike in different ways during the holidays and that includes new reports about suspicious offers and impostor websites promising deals on the latest playstation 5. Be wary of those. Also puppy scams are making a comeback. Also be cautious of scammers using covid19 to charm more for shipping. Scammers will claim airlines have higher fees to transport animals and thats just not true. As always, when making Online Transactions use credit cards, not a debit card for better consumer protection. The National Dog Show takes place thursday. Thor beat out 12,000 other dogs to take home the best in show title. The National Dog Show becoming a thanksgiving day tradition. This year will be different because of the pandemic, of course.

Plus, the latest Covid Concerns in the bay area. Reporter and as those cases continue to rise, two bay area counties slipping into another tier and whats at risk. Right now at 6 30, staring down more restrictions as most bay area counties live under new curfew rules. Three in San Francisco on the list. This morning theyre asking how long that might last. Today in the bay continues right now. And its a good tuesday morning, a terrific tuesday as i like to call it. Im marcus washington. Im laura garcia. Lets get on with the forecast. Kari has a look at our forecast. Starting out nice and clear in the south bay. I have seen some fog in the trivalley as well as parts of the north bay. We do have a lot of sunshine in our forecast. As we head to thanksgiving it will be a touch cooler and then for the weekend it will be staying dry and mild. Here is a look at todays High Temperatures. Some of our warmest spots like in some of the valleys and clear lake as well and reaching 60 degrees in San Francisco. Well talk about whats ahead in the forecast coming up. What is it looking like now for the commute . It was looking like a very light commute expected this time of year. Look at the toll plaza camera. We had one disabled vehicle around treasure island. Lets take a look it at the map. I believe one clears and another near fremont street. We may have the slow lane blocked. The rest of the bay shows nice, easy drive. No major problems and 17 the Santa Cruz Mountains that crash did clear on the northbound side just around bear creek road. Back to you. California is reporting more than 8,000 new covid infections with 50 additional deaths now about 1. 1 million confirm cases. Later today bay area counties will learn where they fit in the states newest covid assessment. Cierra, lets talk about the numbers. Reporter a broader picture, 95 of the counties in california are right now in that purple tier. In the bay area three counties, marin, san mateo and San Francisco are still in red. San mateo and San Francisco could make the shift into the more restrictive tier. Take a look at the numbers according to the states dashboard the latest numbers reveal 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 , about half a percentage point up from two weeks ago. And san mateo seeing those increases saturday recorded 215 cases well above the 105 case sevenday average. Now if both counties are downgraded to purple indoor operations for things like movie theaters, houses of worship, museums and gyms would be required to shut down within 24 hours and that curfew going on throughout some of the other bay areas would go into effect two days after those tier changes. We will be hearing from the departnt omehealth, the state department of health, where everyone stands and whether or not the two particular counties will remain in red or whether they will slip into the restrictive purple tier. Cierra johnson for today in the bay. Lets take a live look at los angeles as cases there climb. The county is now averaging 4,500 new cases per day and the decision may come as soon as today when supervisors meet. It comes with a new travel order taking Effect Tomorrow recommending anyone arriving in l. A. County selfquarantine for 14 days. Laura, listen to this, new for you that morning a new poll finding about 35 believe gathering for thanksgiving is worth the risk of catching or even spreading covid19. This is according to the Childrens Hospital in michigan. About twothirds of parents say they believe in asking guests to maintain social distancing as much as possible.

Gm also asked other automakers to join them switching sides which toyota is said to be considering.

The nfl adding new covid rules requiring all players to wear masks on the sidelines unless they have their helmets on. That strict limit will be in place on the number of players traveling. Espn confirming San Francisco 49ers top tackle Trent Williams is infected with the virus. Hes also a cancer survivor. He tells espn he is feeling fine and is expected to make a full recovery.

On friday sugar bowl, heavenly, north star were the first to open last week. In most cases you have to book ahead of time with major restrictions on the slope. Although ive been online in commercial breaks and looked at north star, home wood, squaw, and they are already booked up until next week or a couple weeks into december. Youd certainly better check ahead. Check ahead or just stay home. It seems like we have an update on covid19 vaccines, but are you ready to receive it . Next a look at what americans are saying about this in a live report straight ahead for you. Plus its official that joe biden can begin his transition. Well take a look at that. Wall street likes the stability. We like that. We like fun news, too. Cue the penguins. Look at where they are hanging out this week. Some adorable baby penguins as well. All next. Youre watching today in the bay. Theres no bad time to start at amazon. I like the flexibility. It also allows for picking up shifts. Safety comes first, speed comes second. Safety. Safety. Safety. Were making sure that somebody is getting their very important items. It makes me very happy. Right now at 6 41 the last time i look at this shot in the trivalley checking out dublin we saw some fog rolling through and now it has cleared out. Some drifting around, temperatures are chilly. The forecast coming up in a few minutes. And the last time we took a look at this shot, the bay bridge toll plaza. The second of the disabled vehicle has been removed from span. The green light from the Trump Administration to get to work, despite the new development the president has not given up his fight. We kick things off with today in the bays tracie potts with a look at what President Trump is now asking for. Reporter good morning. President trump is not giving up his fight even with his administration now signing off on the biden transition. The president says he will direct employees to cooperate but will continue his legal fight and will not concede. We will get to the actual outcome that the evidence shows. This is not about overturning an election on our part. Its about making sure we protect and preserve free and Fair Elections for all future american elections. Reporter the trump team says theyre moving full speed ahead with the legal challenges and the biden team moving ahead with filling out his cabinet. We have several names of people who will serve in foreign service, National Security, the Economic Team and including the first female director and the first latino to head the department of homeland security. Thanks for the latest. And now scott mcgrew. One person making it official in the eyes of the government and that is a lot of power. It is a lot of power and the person youre talking about, emily murphy, says she agrees with you. The law says the administrator, its her job to decide if and when to open up funds and give the goahead for an incoming president to begin the transition. She says shes been hesitating all this time because donald trump never conceded. She finally made her decision after concluding trumps Court Battles are all ending in defeat and she says in the future it really shouldnt be up to her or someone like her writing in a letter to president elect biden, 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 pressure to delay the transition writing i was never directly or indirectly pressured by any executive branch official including those who work at the white house. Now 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 plans to fight coronavirus as well and some day distribute a vaccine. Under normal circumstances the outgoing president tries to give the incoming president as much information as quickly as possible. The exception to that was the bush gore election which was held up by the Supreme Court and the delay in getting the eventual winner, george w. Bush, the information he needed was cited in the 9 11 report as part of the reason america was so unprepared for 9 11. President trump says the fight is not over. Tracie mentioned that. Here is a tweet. What does the gsa being allowed to preliminarily work with the democrats have to do with continuing to pursue our various cases on what will go down as the most corrupt election in history . We are moving full speed ahead. So, too, is the process. Michigan has certified its election. Joe biden is the winner there. Georgia certified biden as won. Hes acknowledged rather georgia acknowledged President Trump can have a recount. Its already recounted once already. Here is an official sounding a bit exasperated. Theres no specific evidence that anybody has brought to us anybody has done anything wrong and, again, both parties had the opportunity to view this in real time when it was being done. On a lighter note President Trump chooses the National Turkey today choosing between corn and cob. I think thats corn on your left maybe. This is a job president obama reportedly didnt like. President carter refused to do it. We showed you on the midday news a lot of twitter users have noticed 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, carrot refused to concede and demanded a recount, and were still fighting. Weve come to a conclusion, im sorry to tell you, the result did not change. Well talk about the turkey on twitter. You can follow me there, im scottmcgrew. Oh, scott, thanks so much. To the pandemic and three vaccine candidates now in play as possible weapons to beat down the coronavirus. Once the vaccines are safe and effective, will people be willing to get one . Not only that, how will it all happen . Today in the bays kris sanchez is live for us in san jose. Kris, what have you been learning about all of this . Reporter good morning to you, marcus and laura. Theres a saying in Public Health that vaccines dont save lives. Vaccinations do. Thats why its so important to get that Distribution Channel in place. A vaccine could be coming in just a few weeks. Here is what Governor Newsom said. 2. 4 Million Health care workers will be at the front of the line followed by vulnerable populations like people who live in care facilities, people who are medically vulnerable. Newsom says the state has existing infrastructure. Remember, the state does distribute millions of doses of routine vaccinations like flu shots every year. Even though widespread distribution for most of us is still months away, the clock is ticking. The fda will consider emergency approval for the pfizer vaccine. As you likely novak seens by moderna and astrazeneca are close behind. The astrazeneca seems the most shelf stable and least expensive. Perhaps thats the one the rest of us will get. Having a vaccine and getting a vaccine are two different things. Nurses may be at the front of the line but only about a third of them say they will get the vaccine for sure according to the American Nurses association. 31 say theyre not sure yet. 58 of regular americans said they would get the vaccine which is an increase in the number we saw back in september. Very unscientific poll on twitter right now, about 75 of people who answered my twitter poll said they would get the vaccine. Marcus and laura . Kris, before you go, until we even get the vaccine its really important to stress that personal choices matter when it comes to really trying to squash this current surge that were in. Reporter yeah, you know, its really important to stress the fact just because a vaccine becomes approved by the fda, most of us are not going to get that access to the early vaccine. Were not health care workers. If you are healthy, you are not at the front of the line. Washing hands and keeping socially distance during this time we want to get together is critical and wearing your mask because the virus will still circulate. I know a lot of people say they want to wait and see but do what you can, mask up and socially distance. Thanks, kris. And look for a little bit of happy in all of this pandemic. This is why were showing the baby penguins. At the sydney aquarium down under, the babies hatched over the past few weeks. The youngest one hatching just two weeks ago. Laura, more penguins for you, four of them from chicago. The aquarium there got to run around Soldier Field there where the bears play and, look, i can tell you the team was off but the penguins took over, this is our territory. They werent much interested in football. Of course theyre cute. They sure are. I think after all that holiday eating the turkey, the pie, the stuffing, well all be waddling around come next week. Im overnighting some stuff tonight. They should be getting it tomorrow. I cant do this. Kari has a look at our forecast for this thanksgiving week. Yeah, its going to be nice and its going to also be very chilly. I want to show you where were starting out this morning with some upper 30s in parts of the north bay. So if youre heading out for a run in napa, watch out for some fog. Temperatures will be in the low 40s to start. But if you wait until later in the morning it will feel much more comfortable and well see the fog cloerg out. Heading up to 65 degrees. Livermore reaching 64. And mostly some mid60s for a lot of our inland valleys and San Francisco reaching 60 degrees. We are going to see a cold front coming in just before thanksgiving. But it doesnt bring us any rain. The rain dries up before it gets here. The rest of the weather pattern for the rest of the week is looking all dry. So if you have solar panels, if youre using your regular amount of electricity you should be able to generate everything that you use today 100 for today, tomorrow, as well as thursday. And the amount of Carbon Dioxide that were not putting in the air by burning fossil fuels is equivalent to growing, planting over 22,000 trees so thats pretty awesome. Lets get a look at our dry forecast. We know we need the rain. With dry weather into at least the next week and it will be cool with the morning temperatures in the 30s. Some of us even freezing and highs will only reach into the lower 60s. Mike, heading out the door this morning weve been watching some fog but no major issues, right . No. Thats right, kari. Lighter overall traffic but three key spots, lets take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. Theres improvement there. Things are moving better after the earlier stall clears two disabled vehicles on the span. Looking at the map, the span of the bay bridge westbound. All lanes cleared from two earlier disabled vehicles. In the east bay we do have one issue. This is a deadly crash were being told about from the san will he and droe Police Department that has closed. Over 880 use 98 as an option and following that in a newsroom t. Does not affect on the nimitz freeway. Highway 17 as we look at the big view, no major problems on the map zooming down northbound 17 once again a disabled vehicle in the backup. Back to you.
