Starting this friday Sonoma County joins napa county opening tast 1045 and just in time for the weekend there is a relaxation of the wine tasting rules in Sonoma County. Yes wineries that dont serve food are allowed to reopen and even if they do serve food, so its pretty much open to everybody crawford sara stinson live in santa rosa to explain more ice era. They worry a little bit of relaxation in the guidelines for these wineries and breweries hopefully a little bit of relaxation in for you as you finally are able to go the house and do something that is fun and not quite essential as we head back to normal life. Im live here at fog Line Vineyards and it just like a lot of wineries in Sonoma County. Not really mentioning online anywhere if theyre going to be open right away this friday now that theyre allowed to open their tasting rooms so my biggest tip to you call ahead reach out to them if youre going either sonoma napa county to go to a winery definitely call ahead and make a reservation if you can now this that the choice to reopen the tasting room aligns with governor newsoms order tasting rooms are encouraged to offer food but it is no longer a requirement to serve food to reopen whereas last month wineries were able to reopen only they could provide sitdown outdoor meals with a food facility permit as well as Curbside Pickup in deliveries takes years will need to follow social distancing and Health Guidelines to reopen. Specifics not on the website for Sonoma County quite yet napa county reopened tasting rooms last friday and they wera books right away i i would definitely call weiner before heading up to wine country make that reservation because they cant fit a lot of people inside the tasting rooms anymore they need to have space for people to make sure its safe. Fortunately a lot of these wineries have beautiful outdoor spaces for you to sit and enjoy a tasting i do do recommend you to bring a mask because that way you will be allowed and you have to wear a mask when youre Walking Around to say the bathroom or when you enter the facility and then once you sit at your table youre enjoying tasting in your relaxing hopefully you can then take that mask off obviously you cant drink wine with a mask on so definitely bring the mass and have a good time call ahead that is the biggest tip well give you for now live in Sonoma County Sarah Stinson kron 4 news you can not drink or eat with a mask did you see picture of somebody who had cut out cut out a whole she cut out like nose and mouth well its hard to breathe and stuff so this is much defeats the purpose all right lets get over to the Weather Center john trouble looking at the forecast for today and for the weekend ahead little foggy right now. Yeah, definitely foggy out there to start guys but we are seeing improvements in areas like San Francisco, currently where once was foggy blocking out the Sales Force Tower now you can actually see all the skyline. Nice and clear over san jose definitely hasnt been any fog in the south bay this morning that foggy blanket very evident looking out from the Berkeley Hills right over the bay, where you are seeing the fog you cant miss it like in the Golden Gate Bridge and up into the marine highlands foggo become less and less scene for coastal areas today and theyre going to join the rest of us with some of those clear skies that youre seeing High Pressure in place for just one more day before this low pressure area drags in some cooler air behind it and youre really going to notice the difference in temperatures from today into tomorrow as that cooler air slips into the bay year unfortunately going to have a pickup in wind speed. And yet another brisk weekend with friday and saturday being especially windy days while the bay area remains dry look at what we have friday night up in the Sierra Nevada, some thunderstorms popping up in the foothills and some snow at the highest of elevations for those of you that maybe have planning on heading that direction to start the weekend. Otherwise bay area just cooler and windier to start the weekend as for today cooler at the coast with that cool ocean breeze pushing in you see that in the form of fog this morning, youll notice it more so as far as temperatures go later today, cooler than the 70s we had yesterday areas further away from the pacific hold on to temperatures that are still warm with 80s on the peninsula on the bay side and 80s in the south bay too. Temperatures in the east bay, mostly in the 80s as well just a few degrees above our seasonal averages. And yet another toasty day for areas like conquered at 90 degrees. 90s as well in Solano County and upper 80s to low 90s in napa and sonoma counties until you head to the cot at least where youve got some 60s mixed in. Tomorrow temperatures fall rapidly for inland areas down from the 80s to the 70s our warmest and will stay that way into our brisk saturday. Sunday we reverse or cooling trends. Temperatures begin to climb again and by early next week, its back to inland heat and cooler temperatures at the coast. James. Thank you john quick check of the traffic this morning, well take a quick look here is the Golden Gate Bridge camera and it shows weve got. As john mentioned foggy conditions here across the span. But traffic is moving nice and swiftly across the and into San Francisco. So its all right heading in from Murray County this morning the richmond sandra fell bridge, a plea foggy but you can see the backup here just ahead of the toll plaza stretches just out of view there in the background but youre still making a normal time, its not anything unusual here just a normal congestion backup there is no accident on the span this morning. Well on a related note. Speaking of traffic we a bay area commuters you can expect to see toll takers back in their booths in just a few weeks time. The longterm goal is to phase them out and go cashless but Officials Say theyre not that just yet with kron fours Maureen Kelly with a closer look. Its these eastbound fast track lanes of the benicia bridge that Bay Area Transportation planners want all the toll plazas that state run bridges to look like with no toll booths in the way to force commuters to reduce speed going completely cashless has been a long term goal that was expected to come to fruition over the next couple of years. And then coronavirus hit. Toll takers were ordered how due to safety and the planned to go to all electronic tolling went into effect immediately. The switch was made smoother by the fact that bridge traffic all but disappeared, but now is the bay area is beginning to reopen congestion is making a comeback traffic is coming back for about 70 of where we were before the school in 19 to Randi Rentschler the metropolitan Transportation Commission says they like to stay cashless but there are still too many drivers not switching over to fast track and in addition to contributing to backups at the bridges, theyre also adding workload for the office staff which is also reduced to covid19 stuck with a tedious job of building those without fast tracked for the toll money they owe and thats a job that gets more overwhelming the more cash paying drivers get back behind the wheel. So toll, takers will return to the job in weeks rather than months, but its expected that accepting any type of cash at bay area bridges will be in the rearview sooner than originally planned whats likely to take place. Is that were going to have the toll takers back. For some given period of time. And then were going to convert though the bridges back to an america to collection and then later well take out the tool to infrastructure taking out the toll booths themselves will likely take years. But eventually open road tolling is expected to make crossing the state run bay area spans less of a stop and go experience. Maureen kelly kron 4 news.
