Thursday night as we show you some high clouds in our chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow talking about some changes in the weather. This could be a really nice sunset tonight, but certainly starting to see more that sea breeze kicking in and the fog is not far away going to be moving inside the Golden Gate Bridge little hazy out there right now weve seen a couple of patches of fog flirting with trying to come on shore but that will race on shore overnight tonight filling into the bay means weve got some much cooler temperatures coming our way this can talk about the high clouds there you go guys got a cold front off the coastline mostly energy is going to have all the way up in the far Northern California get up towards eureka may be a chance of a few scattered light showers for the bay area really just a few high clouds but these systems are going start to roll over the top of that region start to move it further and further to the east that means the pressure is going to be in the fall or temperatures going to start to drop and as much as 15 degrees. Cooler, i think by tomorrow afternoon in sum the warmest parts of the bay area tomorrow morning we wake up to some patchy fog along the coastline of some of that actually inside the bay and maybe some local valleys temperatures going to be the 50s and the 60s by the middle of the make sure some sunshine and some high clouds but noticeably cooler by noon tomorrow, so plan on that and the winds will be kicking up its going to be a blustery afternoon, especially along the immediate coastline and jus temperatures to be had everywhere in fact instead the 90s like we have some spots in like concord learn more today and tomorrow youre topping out in the mid 70s, so big change in the weather pattern coming our way again this pattern plan out of the last 3 weeks hot during the middle of the week really cool down for the weekend looks like thats going to happen again 70s, 60s inside the bay 50s and cool 60s blustery winds out toward the coastline. The next few days we drop down the temperature right through saturday, warm up a little bit on sunday and then we heat up again toward the middle of next week. All right. Thank you lawrence coming up on kron 4 news at a covid19 words of Warning Health experts say a second wave is coming and thousands more people could die if no action is taken the push for Police Reform is happening at all levels of government when the white house as an executive order on reform will arrive plus Outdoor Dining will soon be allowed in the city of San Francisco, but so the virus still poses a serious threat experts at the institute for Health Metrics and evaluation. Predict a second wave will start in mid september and there could be as many as a 170,000 deaths in the u. S. By october. Health Officials Say there have been some spikes in some states as economies begin to reopen. Everyone is still advise to continue to wear masks wash your hands often and to maintain physical distancing. The number of covid19 cases has officially passed 2 million in the u. S. And as we mentioned its killed more than a 113,000 people here in california there been more than a 142,000 cases of coronavirus and more than 4900 people have died in the bay area there have been more than 16,000 cases to date and 478 people have died from covid19. We have a breakdown of the case is available on our website kron 4 dot com. Well some San Francisco restaurants are getting ready for Outdoor Dining which will be allowed in the city starting tomorrow in front of the 44 the restaurant which is a long bell then place the tables are out and they are spaced out as sort of a dress rehearsal for tomorrow, the staff is also trying to figure out where to hang new massive menus for the patrons to order from because wait staff will not be handing out individual menus. Survive on. Singhs visit. Offices tourism convention. The 3 of them got wiped out so i think it was the lead on time and the student body on top thanks cause of you know turning the lights on and open the door is is humongous. Whether we have one customer was 10 of people is the same that 6 cost needs to be paid. So for us to add added expenses just because were going to get a few tables and we dont now if people going to come we dont know if people are going to respect the rules. We just we dont feel like its safe enough for us and for our customers. As you just heard not everybody is in a rush to reopen more allow on the moroccan restaurant which is south of market in San Francisco. The russia bears his name he says it does not make Financial Sense for him to reopen right now because the cost of running the business is too expensive so hes planning to wait possibly reopening some time after the city allows for Indoor Dining in mid july, if you are among the thousands of people who hit the streets to protest the past couple of weeks. U should covid19 that is the word from Health Officials in the south bay kron fours rob fladeboe reports. Whether it was a protest march like this one recently in front of San Jose Police headquarters. Were one of the less peaceful protests that are taking place across the bay area. Those who take part should get tested says the Health Department doctor marty fenster shine up and we look at the pictures. And we see some people with no mask and people who are very close together other people that are screaming. And spreading potentially spreading the virus among those who got tested today here at the countys burger drive test side was lindsay during who joined a protest last week in fremont despite trying to keep her distance from fellow protesters. I think it still make sense to go get tested if you can especially knowing that you can spread. The virus when youre asymptomatic and i dont have symptoms but i just figured that was the safest thing to do thing is just easier to get it over with to just make sure. Make sure theres no risk because like i have my grandparents, a home as well. I think is just a better option to make sure for obvious reasons tracing the contacts of someone suspected of acquiring the virus at a protest is difficult if not impossible. Given the numbers in relative anonymity involved. But those crowds are worrisome the symptoms typically arriving at least 3 to 5 days after exposure or not at all in some people. The Health Departments social Media Outreach says if you protest and get tested because the virus needs a little bit of time to eat debate before we probably can get a positive test out of it that yes if you were in a protest. And with a large gathering of people get yourself tested in san jose rob fladeboe kron 4 news.
