Not to burst their bubble but there were some things that did get out of hand in la last night as they celebrated the lakers first. Nba championship in 10 years. You got to hand it to lebron the bubble playoffs were definitely the most bizarre if not the most challenging conditions. King james fought tooth and nail to add this 4th jewel to his crown and says you better respect him. We just want our respect. Rob lowe says respects coach vogel waters respect organization what they respect laker nation what they respect. I want my them respect yes sir. Well, the nba bubble has succeeded in keeping covid out the nfl. Chose a different route and there are more detours more positive tests on the patriots and the titans are affecting the schedule of 9 teams now its gone so complicated that im just going to say if you want to know if your team is playing. Look at kids or look away im going to show you a gruesome ankle snap in a minute, but first almost as painful watching jimmy g get destroyed by the dolphins sacked intercepted end bench for best 3rd. The niners took a 4317 beating and when it was over or opt tap danced around questions about his ankle every offensive every team really have to find your identity you know, and its a process every team goes through every year. And its just its not one of those things that happens very quickly takes time. And i know we need to do with a little bit of sense urgency. Derek carr has a new identity he is now the guy who can be clutch go deep and get a win at arrowhead stadium. The raiders beat the chiefs 40s 32. Carr threw for 347 yards and 3 touchdowns and. Even though he absolutely outplayed Patrick Mahomes after the game he acted more relieved than victorious im taking a lot of a lot said walks up there and his elves but not to enjoy this pretty humble words just beating a super bowl champion. But take a look at what happened can happen one move and snap. Quarterback for the cowboys dak prescott broke his ankle in the 3rd quarter the game they won against the giants. Take another look. Yeah, no closeup. Thats going the wrong way. Okay so its not just broken his dislocated they carted off the field and right into surgery Recovery Time could be 4 to 6 months. So much for being the next player in line for a monster contract. Did you hear me when i even said the cowboys beat the giants do care. This is a better shot james know i will make you look at the other one i looked it several times still waiting for the feeling to come back in my and this is this is the quarterback who thought he was going to sign the next big deal. This is the way it goes he was holding up his leg with his. No wrong and and then past and we see that as i cant unsee that sorry. Well starting this week people to travel to hawaii will no longer have to quarantine as long as they have proof of a negative coronavirus test. Weve got nikki schonfeld now with a look at what you can expect. Starting thursday transpacific passengers to all islands will be able to bypass quarantine with proof of a negative covid test. Once you land in plane there will be 2 lines one for people who took the test and another for those who didnt really hope that theres nobody in that line that says i didnt take a test because theyre crazy. Theyre going to be quarantine for 14 days. Those who took the protests will have already uploaded the results in their safe travels app you know the artificial intelligence. Well have vetted it and checked it will also have some backup capacity to check out the airport if necessary. There will be an added step if you land in kona governor a is expected to sign off americans proposal which requires all incoming passengers to take a second antigen test Kona International airport. The free rapid bd verot or test yields results in about 15 minutes, its not a 100 but when combined with the pcr test from the mainland its quite good if its negative youre free to go if you test positive hell be given the Gold Standard pcr test on site. But youll have to quarantine until your results comes back that should be enough security for anyone to mean that will that will double sift out any cases those who are awaiting for pre travel results will still have to quarantine regardless of what the antigen test result is those same antigen test could be used to reopen inner island travel. Thats our goal. This were start well and we have be. School. Well did and we will do that by blending take different was stopped the car. That would be my recommendation do that within 72 hours of inner island travel and if i think they can do within 72 minutes because its a fast you can just get test and no youre not youre right before. That was nicky schoenfeld reporting here in the bay area, several airlines are offering covid tests but of course they will cost you however, Oakland Airport is offering them for free the rapid tests to you just got to make sure you yourself plenty of time and make an appointment it is another reason i love the Oakland Airport name.

Heidi loop lives in San Mateo County and this week she received 2 ballots for the general election. She says nothing has changed since the midterms her name and address are still the same the only thing i did do is i went on track my ballots. Track your ballots and it said that i didnt have a registration. So i typed in my name and it said i would be registered so maybe that kicked a second registration in to process that appears to be the case and the issue is more common than you might think up north in placer county, the registrar of voters says up to 6,000 voters are expected to get 2 ballots in the mail every time that somebody touches that record it triggers a second ballot to be generated for that boat or if you receive 2 ballots and in the second one and void the first either by destroying it or turning it into your local elections office. Regardless if you turn one in it will be flagged in the event someone attempts to vote twice we want to make sure that 2 ballots are not counted for one boater and so thats why the process is set up like it is to avoid that first ballot when the second ballot is generally heidi loop was already concerned about fraud potentially tainting this election. She does not want the results corrupted by people voting multiple times i hope that through the audit process. The official ballots would be thrown out, but im not sure that thats the case. And graver concerns that i had before understandable, but process is in place to prevent one person from getting 2 votes. I believe all kron 4 news.

Yeah, i mean were going from perfect weather this weekend can get any better than what we had on friday and saturday least in my opinion i loved it as we make our way through this week its getting hotter, its going to be dry and winds are going to pick up, but we know what that combination brings us an incrense in fire danger as of this morning, its beautiful unclear, definitely good air quality too thats the cherry on top of what is a nice morning the step outside at least monday mornings cooperating with us as we are pulling ourselves out of bed and getting back to work. Jet stream sent far to the north thats bringing with it some rainfall to the Pacific Northwest as High Pressure builds back in for us, this means a return to the hot dry conditions that we had been seeing and returned offshore winds, especially starting tuesday night lasting through wednesday thursday and friday. After that we do see these offshore winds relaxing come the weekend so at least we have that to hold on to but a few days there were fire danger really becomes an issue. So today and tomorrow, not or windiest of days tomorrow night we see winds picking up initially for napa and sonoma counties, spreading further east to the north bay and into the rest of the east bay come wednesday and thursday these will be here to windiest of days thursday and friday holding on to some breezy conditions and 2 of your hottest of days then.

Sonoma and napa also up to 90 today. And thats just the start more 90s in the forecast come tomorrow and even more so towards wednesday thursday and friday are hottest days in our highest fire danger days as offshore winds really kick up. Youre also noticing, 90s right along the bay come thursday and friday that tells you how hot dry air is going to be pushed out towards the coast by saturday and sunday were easing out of the hottest of whether or nor windiest conditions and we do see some relief from the weekend.
