Meteorologist kari hall breaking down why thats causing concern as today in the bay begins right now. Good morning and thanks so much for joining us. Im laura garcia. And im marcus washington. Of course mike is keeping his eyes on the road. Lets start with the forecast for today. And this morning a very foggy start. Yes, we are seeing that in the south bay as well as other parts of the bay area as we wake up, take a look at our live camera in san jose. Its foggy and its chilly so we are going to see that for the next couple of hours and then turning very mild as we go into the afternoon with some sunshine. Taking a look at our breezy winds picking up for tomorrow. We are going to stay dry in the forecast as we start out with some cold temperatures and the fog this morning. We do have concern of freezing fog. Well talk more about that cong up in just a few minutes. Mike, how is it looking right now for the commute . Kari, the fog is the topic of one of the chp reports. As we look at the san mateo bridge where they gave the fog advisory overnight we dont see a problem. We can see the high rise but it does appear a bit. I do think there may be low clouds hovering around, as kari said. Well watch for that effect. The map shows no slowing there or for the rest of the bay we are tracking a crash in oakland and brentwood. Details on that coming up. All right, thank you very much. We begin with some startling new numbers that really put into perspective the surge of cases the u. S. Is seeing right now as the covid19 wave intensifies this is what we looked like 30 days ago on november 1st. You can see the u. S. Confirmed more than 9 million u. S. Cases with deaths less than a quarter million. Fast forward to the current picture, infections at more than 13. 5 million and the number of deaths exceeding more than 260,000, nearly 4. 5 million new cases confirmed nationwide just in the past 30 days. Happening today in just a few hours cdc advisers will meet to discuss who should be in the First Priority group to get the sa vaccine. And if nursing home residents should be included. According to clinical data, more than 1,300 Nursing Homes across the u. S. Reported having three or more covid cases and about 40 of the nations covid deaths have been in Nursing Homes. Experts have a range of concerns including possible side effects of the vaccine and that many nursing home residents that travel to the hospital or outpatient clinics. When we move a new drug into the general population and we look at how it acts in the real world, its so critical that we do so before we move into a frail population. So that is why even though longterm care residents are at greatest risk for covid, there is some consideration that perhaps the vaccine should be delayed for them. Major pharmacy chains such as walgreens are preparing to bring the vaccine to Nursing Homes either by setting up a Central Location within the facility or going room to room. As testing ramps up in hospitals were one step closer to getting approval for not one but two covid vaccines. Today in the bays cheryl hurd breaking down how fast distribution could happen. Reporter the rush is on at ucsf. The fda is very close to making a decision on the Pfizer Vaccine. We know the fda is going to meet on december 10th, and it says hours after that decision is made people will be able to get vaccines. Reporter the drug and injection sites will be ready to go. Ucsf and Zuckerberg San Francisco hospitals are getting ready to roll out the first phase of distribution. At the governors new conference gavin newsom says 327,000 doses of the Pfizer Vaccine is on the way to california. These are challenging vaccines because theyre the ultra low temperature stored vaccines, the vaccines that require a second dose, which we anticipate in three weeks. Reporter he anticipates an approval for the Moderna Vaccine to follow right behind pfizer. A Cdc Advisory Committee will meet to decide who will get the shots first. The process is not straightfostraigh straightforward because you have to think who is the frontline of the frontline because we dont have enough vaccines for all in the first batch of vaccines. Reporter moving millions of doses will be a challenge. American airlines is a part of a massive Distribution Network now taking shape worldwide. It is using empty passenger planes to rush supplies around the globe. I think our biggest challenge is reaching those urban constituents that need the vaccines, Rural Health Care centers, rural hospitals. Reporter the hospitals must be equipped to store the vaccine. The pfizer drug requires arctic cold, negative 94 degrees fahrenheit. Theres a lot of work that needs to be done in a very short amount of time. Cheryl hurd, today in the bay. 4 35 for you that morning, and be ready to quarantine if you plan on traveling outside of the south bay. Health leaders there say anyone who has traveled into Santa Clara County from more than 150 miles away will actually have to quarantine for 14 days. Under that rule people in the south bay can travel to places like napa, sacramento, by car without quarantine. If you go to places like lake tahoe or anywhere beyond fresno in the south, signs say that you should do that. Theyre already posted at san jose airport. Most passengers say they done even know they had to quarantine. We didnt realize it was actually mandated until we walked down the stairs here. What difference does it make 150, 200 or 50 . Health leaders say people could get fined if they violate the travel quarantine. Heres a grandmother who when push comes to shove you do not want to mess with her. Here is why. It happened last friday in San Franciscos mission district. Video shows a customer becoming upset about her order not being ready. Were told she became verbally abusive, and she threw a fivepound bottle of Hand Sanitizer nearly striking a manager who was holding her young son. And thats when the boys 57yearold grandmother drew the line. After throwing a bag of food at the irate customer, she knocked her down with the table. I was thinking if she could hit my grandson, i mean, i do whatever i have to do. I was thinking nothing. No thinking in that moment. Someone entering the restaurant got the irate customer out the door. That woman was gone by the time police arrived. Dont touch the baby, ill tell you. Everyone needs to calm down. People are stressed these days. I was just going to say its just food. Its just food. 4 38 this morning. Lets get a look at the forecast. Nice and cold this morning again. Yeah, and we are going to have more mornings like this because we have such dry air in place. Were going to look at the way were starting with our temperatures mostly in the mid30s in parts of the north bay but were seeing temperatures below freezing in clear lake and other areas are very close and when you factor in fog, that high humidity can deposit on some of those elevated roads and create icy conditions so watch out for that around santa rosa. Mike, youre seeing the commute already heading out. How is it looking . Well, its looking standard. That note about the north bay fog, well go out to the maps and ive circled in oakland you see the yellow circle north 880, that crash off of the roadway just on the shoulder no major injuries reported. A smooth drive and there were never any speed sensor slowings. In brentwood it sounds like a headon crash. Im trying to get details. I want to show you 121 in the area highlighted with fog, not far from there, southbound side of 121 blocked by a crash. Brentwood and up in the north bay theyre both sig alerts from the chp.

And a good morning to you. A terrific tuesday, as i like to call it, dark and early for you. A live look at the bay bridge. Pretty dark and early there. As we get started for the day. All right, its 4 47 this morning. You know what, kari, coming in this morning, i dont know if any of you saw it out of your wind windows, i looked out and saw nothing. I have these big windows, couldnt see anything. Hmm, have to open your eyes. That was it . Yeah. There were a lot of thick clouds of fog this morning this downtown san jose. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we are seeing the fog rolling by san jose and reducing that visibility. We are seeing some fairly patchy fog and take a look at this shot because the camera is up a little bit higher than down at the ground seeing visibility at about four miles. Really not hurting too much of the morning drive, but look at San Francisco near the airport. Visibility is zero and so its been really dense in some spots. And you do have to be careful. We in the north bay could see some of that fog freezing after this very cold and foggy start. This is where were heading, temperatures turning out to be very nice reaching into the mid60s, up to 65 in livermore, san jose. 68 degrees in santa rosa. San francisco today will reach 62 degrees and going through the forecast still dry as we go through the week possibly all of next week may be dry. We are not seeing a change in this weather pattern. When we see the very dry vegetation and at times gusty winds, were still talking about the potential of a high fire danger going into december even as we now start meteorological winter. And usually december is one of the wettest months of the year, but then when we take a look back at how much rain we measure during october and november, barely anything. The orange shading shows you how much rain we actually measure compared to the normal amount. We are now only at about 5 of the normal amount of rain in san jose and oakland, and the best were doing is in the north bay where weve only had 22 of the normal amount of rain. So its been extremely dry. We need a lot of rain to catch up to normal, even to get through the very first part of our water year. You can see that we dont have any in the forecast so, unfortunately, its not something we are going to see here soon. And its going to warm up slightly heading into the upper 60s by the end of the weekend for the inland areas. We are still going to have these cold mornings well have to deal with some fog. Well continue to monitor that. Of course ill let you know if we have any sign of hope in the forecast. Mike, how is it looking now as workers are getting ready to head out to work this morning, heading out the door. Yeah, kari, its definitely cold. Theres fog out there. We have two Traffic Alerts. For what you call your smaller commute spots but if youre local to the area, big deal. Over my shoulder i circled 121. In the north bay affected by a crash, the Traffic Alert called by chp for the one lane in either direction, the winery. Do watch 121. I want to take you over. We just got an update over in brentwood this crash is a deadly crash. At least one person has died as a result of a headon crash there and they have vasco closed. You can use marsh creek. Highway 4 also to get past that scene. The rest of the bay shows a smoother drive. Tracking both brentwood and in the north bay for those Traffic Alerts. The green sensors dominate the map. Back to you. Thanks, mike. A live look in San Francisco, the new curfew there just wrapped up about 30 minutes ago. All bay area counties but marin under the most restrictive purple tier following the limited stayathome order. San francisco and san mateo became the latest counties to slide into the purple tier.

Essential retail like Grocery Stores can remain open. Transportation Services Including buses and ride share will still be available.
