Friday morning, his 4th looking at a cool weekend to come so thats good and thanks for joining yeah lots to talk about. Weve got as daryn mentioned that nice weather on tap which ive been looking forward to because weve been dealing with the red flag warning fire weather for handful of days now john yeah, its nice that we back off the heats were still in the midst of what well be some windy conditions at times into the weekend. But to start the weekend things are actually looking pretty good so we do get a nice breather here and it certainly actually starts to feel like fall for those of you that are stepping outside. Little bit of a brisk feel this morning got the golden gate or bay bridge behind me there with the sun coming up and a little bit of cloud cover sitting over the San Francisco itself some brightness making its way down but the cloud cover pretty evident sitting right over the bay. Now red flag warnings only remain force a lake and mendocino counties this morning elsewhere what youre seeing in the golden hue on the screen is actually what will be high wind watches and fire weather watches as well that dont take effect until sunday night into monday at which point wind speeds will rapidly increase all over again even amid the cooler temperatures that does result in some higher fire danger. Right now temperatures are mostly in the 50s a few exceptions like double in livermore san anselmo and say tone lena or in the 40s to kick things off berkeley and San Francisco in the midfifties well oakland right now at a cool 58. So cool this morning we have that fall feel for sure not all that breezy just yet but were going to get there later on in this forecast as for traffic this morning we are seeing some conditions that have offered you a slowdown from time to time whats it looking like out there right now robin still quite slow in the problems keep coming in john we started off so nice and quiet. And all of a sudden so many trouble spots off to the richmond sandra fell bridge crews are working to clear a stall here westbound 5. 80 at mid span. In the left lane. So thats why its so heavy getting into the north bay this morning, 13 minutes for your drive time thats considered an improvement because at one point it was over 30 minutes, so theyre still working on it here the bay bridge looking good 80 west, nice and smooth as its been throughout the morning so 12 minutes for your drive and then leaving San Francisco, another stall this is at the tpentrance to the lower deck. Its backing up traffic on the skyway that spilling over to the james lick which is now solid from 2. 80 so lots of heavy traffic getting out of San Francisco because of that stall i also have a problem in the south bay darya and james but coming up. Well take a closer look at the guadalupe parkway because theres a new problem one thing clears and then Something Else pops up so well check out some that weight is always sorry thank you very much robin. Well our top story this morning more businesses being allowed to resume indoor operations today in Alameda County and that includes restaurants and places of worship, but of course there are going to be some restrictions can forget kron fours reyna harvey is live in Alameda County with the rules and what theyre doing here the morning, although these places are opening back up not everybody feels comfortable with going back ive been talking to residents that element county lot the movies are opening churches, but i just dont feel comfortable just yet. But heres the movie theaters 25 capacity, 100 people or less sits which ever number is less on that scale also in addition to that youve got a lot of restaurants going reopening their doors theyre going to have those same rules though you got to wear a mask and practice social distancing that 25 capacity also falls under religious centers, so churches you can go back there as well or shove indoors, but theyre saying that 25 capacity cap or 100 people whichever is less and why thats important for religious facilities is because some churches are mega churches and so that 25 capacity would be a lot more than a 100 and so theyre capping it at that number theyre saying thats going to be the rule and like i mentioned people are split down the middle on all of these things take a listen. Yeah, i think its very exciting that our numbers are im concerned as in the rest of the country theyre not so it looks like any moment they can they can go up if were not very careful. I think we have to start somewhere so. So maybe this is a good start personally i i still not go do indoor im a im a posh serwer in fosse the were certainly not going to open up the church at. We dont think its its quite so have mixed feelings about it when it comes to right now this is progress in the orange tier out here in Alameda County i remember us being out here in the purple and then in the red and so there are some changes happening here and so people are saying you know if we rush back into things are we going to go backwards a lot of Business Owners happy that they can offer services to more people who feel comfortable with coming back for now reporting elevator the harvey kron 4 news and well see how long it takes for people to feel comfortable doing that thank you from Alameda County, lets head over to San Francisco now where the School District there says it will reopen for in Person Learning in january. Starting next year special education classes and preschools will reopen followed shortly thereafter by kindergartners and first graders the district at this point now is looking for a provider who can conduct regular covid19 testing. 86 is the time and in the south bay playgrounds are reopening in san jose kron 4 Sarah Stinson is live there with a look and how they plan to do that and keep the kids safe sarah. I found out this morning is not just the kids are excited. Its the parents too because they get to bring him here let him play maybe get a little break for a minute but. Theyre not going to get much of a break as they need to stay on top of the the safety of it all and make sure their kids are being as safe as possible theyre sanitizing because the city of san jose says. Open up parks like this lens in park. However, its up to you and take your own risk theyre going to be opening up 290 playgrounds in over 30. Of the recreation exercise areas this is it going to be happening in several phases, but it all starts today again its at your own risk because the city will not be sanitizing the playground equipment daily however, there is going to be a ton of signage posted about guidelines to follow and will be up to you guys to make sure that you follow these rules and these include only using open facilities with members of your own household because social gatherings are still prohibited are prohibited wash or sanitize hands before and after using playground equipment wear face coverings at all times and keep 6 feet of distance these are things that it were totally used to know sharing personal items or toys bring wipes or something to sanitize the used equipment before and after use say use the swing wipe it down afterwards now i talked to a father he lives in this area and hes been bringing his kids to this park for about 10 years now so hes quite excited, its open and hes ready to follow rules. Its up to us to manage the cleanliness of our children so we had sanitizer. Thank you have a safe. The kids in the hands and mouths after they play is like that. Its working out really well so far. I said you must have big kids because i just cant imagine it being easy to make sure kids dont put their hands in their mouths and keep all the rules keep their mask on its got to be super difficult now also reopening today are some the barbecue picnic areas, however remember household only and hoops and mets will be reinstalled in volleyball and basketball courts. That is big people have been missing that dearly for months now not only in san jose but across the bay area so once that happens well be definitely same people out on the court. But as ive suggested earlier maybe youre not going doing you know 6 on 6 whenever youre falling out to play a game of course bring it back to the Old School Days and you know just shoot the ball reporting live in san jose Sarah Stinson kron 4 oldschool i mean i feel for these parents i cant and theyre all there to play then you got to run around with that with bottle sanitizer behind your kids spray e the goldfish or drop it on like picking up a knee that kid, i mean you know we have to worry about that whether right. All right, i feel thanks sarah. Time now is 8 09 coronavirus cases though are quickly rising in the u. S. In fact we just received word that the u. S. Has had the single highest day today it was yesterday where we had more than 77,000 cases alone in a single day now its important to note the cases are increasing in almost every single state. There is some good news, however, major progress has been made in the fight against coronavirus the first drug to treat the virus has just been approved by the fda severe is an antiviral medicine given through an i v for patients who need hospitalization before getting approval recently by the fda was of course authorized but only for emergency use that was back in the spring. The drug comes with a hefty price tag though back to cost more than 2000 for people that are covered by Government Health programs and the price could go up to 3,000 for patients with private insurance. And when it comes to coronavirus weve seen a big difference depending on what state you live nationally at the National Level things are seeming like were going into a 3rd wave. If you look at some of the positivity like. There are some states in the in the south are looking at 2030 40 positivity rate, california were under 3 . A recent study projects an additional 167,000 people could die of covid by february but if we wear a mask and we wash your hands we can change that. My advice is to minimize risk at all times that means not getting lots of people together from lots of different pods if you will from lots of different bubbles. Just try to have as much of the south side as possible. And cranky people separate so that if you have you know 2 families there have 2 tables. So were continuing to track the and again the numbers can change depending on what we do with social distancing. Maskwearing and handwashing all important. Well still ahead here on the kron 00 04am morning news, a pregnant woman is shot and killed in the east bay, well tell you more about that story plus Scott Peterson could be back in court this morning were live on the scene and i should say weve got the potential for fire burning dangerously close to homes in oakland more on that to come. Yeah were going to be seeing out there this weekend james is a nice cool down thats what were going to enjoy first and foremost today with daytime highs only in the 70s for inland areas. Later this weekend though winds picking back up and that has resulted increase in fire danger. Your forecast ahead. And the traffic is flowing down getting a little crowded and busy on 92, heres a live look at the san mateo bridge 13 minutes and growing heading to the peninsula. Well check more bridges for you coming up. I didnt choose this job because it was easy. But i cant say i expected this. To fight these fires, we need funding plain and simple. For this crisis, and for the next one. Prop 15 closes tax loopholes so rich corporations pay their fair share of taxes. So firefighters like me, have what we need to do the job, and to do it right. The big corporations want to keep their tax loopholes. Its what they do. Well, i do what i do. If yould like to help, join me and vote yes on prop 15.

Great taste thats sustainably baked. And now, introducing our super delicious and nutritious organic kids bread featuring disneys mickey mouse and minnie mouse yes a fire in oakland dangerously close to homes and drivers on 5. 80 this broke out yesterday afternoon at 5. 80 and 35th avenue and luckily it didnt get far huge relief you can see the firefighters out there. They were be able to put it out pretty and it was the wind again and you know theres a gas station nearby so its just good that they acted so quickly that red flag warning that we were talking about john has been tracking it luckily, weve got some relief on the horizon for the weekend ahead job. Yeah today tomorrow bringing that much needed relief guys sunday into monday. Well be back at it again it looks like has wind speeds do generally pick up across the bay area later on in this weekends forecast but lets focus on the time being because it is a nice breather from where we have been first of all you do have a nice marine push right above the bay some low stratus have pushed in really helping us out as far as the way temperatures are feeling as youre getting out there as cfo looking nice and clear at the surface with not a lot of fog to talk about winds relatively calm for now we will see wind speeds increasing into the afternoon but not enough to cause too many issues for your friday today. We move into tomorrow, another calm start before wind speeds increase generally into the latter part of your saturday again not enough for that peak fire danger just yet that does come sunday into monday when wind speeds not only increase in those areas that we often talk about that are susceptible to it like the north bay in our upper elevations, but in some areas that dont often see yourselves and sing the wind speeds that were about to see San Francisco santa rosa was peak vacaville danville hayward over to oakland all looking at some significant winds come sunday night into monday the u. S. We will be seeing multiple advisories ahead of this red flag warnings do remain for just a lake and mendocino counties the rest of those red flag warnings have since expired, but what were also seeing is that gold on the map that is a wind advisory paired with. I have fire weather watches that will take effect starting 11 00am on sunday lasting through 11 00am on monday. So not in effect just yet. But theres going to be a lot of the bay area. It is very susceptible to the strong winds that includes upper elevations on the peninsula, the inland east bay. The u. S. A county red flag warning still in effect there on top of of advisory. Still ahead of us and then marine sonoma and napa counties as well so were talking about stronger winds just around the corner widespread winds could result in extreme fire danger into early next week periods of gusty offshore winds will be funneling. Cool but very dry air our direction so not a warm dry wind event but a cool dry wind events as we work our way through this weekend as for today, relatively calm compared to where were about to be 70s an app of the in santa rosa for highs today, oakland, San Francisco mill valley in the 60s. Well, livermore unconquered each in the upper 70s, your next 7 days, nice and cool to start, but we do see a warm up towards the latter part of the forecast. Again the most concern for winds its bowl sunday and monday early on. Thats when wind speeds are really going to be picking up across the bay bayside areas temperatures also will cool down for the next couple of days before revving back up again into the mid to upper 70s by the middle of this next week, coastal areas, stay in the 60s through this forecast so. Today tomorrow, great cool fall weather to enjoy as much as possible. Sunday night into monday is when youre really going to have to watch those winds and well certainly keep you updated right here. Robin. Thank you john checking back in on the traffic we still have some slowing out there starting off with 92 your trip across the san mateo bridge a little busy here heading across the span but we havent had any significant changes so still under 15 minutes for your drive time were off to the Richmond Center fell bridge. Youll notice that its a little bit more sluggish than normal thats because we had a stall westbound right after mitt span that was blocking that left lane so now that its pretty much out of the way the traffic is looking much much better already 40 minutes is your drive time thats much better than 30 minutes right were checking the bay bridge. No delays at all into San Francisco. Its been nice and clear throughout the morning. So lets keep it that way not as good leaving San Francisco on the lower deck or entering the lower deck. Theres a stall at the entrance being cleared so its backed up on the skyway thats backing up onto the james lick which is now heavy from 2. 80 so its all just merging together one guadalupe parkway in san jose northbound 87 at kirchner multi vehicle accident blocking several lanes of traffic so 87 is gonna be heavy its already stacking up from 85 back to you.

Yeah guys i want to slow dramatic scene to before you had that dramatic fog over your this is dramatic enough have as it was a little bit faster looking out there this morning we do have definitely some low cloud cover thats making for these like from our sutro tower cam. Not all the clearest its ever been but well take it is coming along with a nice cool down as far as fire danger is concerned were taking a step back for a lot of the bay area today and tomorrow there are still red flag warning since a lot of lake and mendocino counties but what youre seeing in that gold yellow hue on the map those are actually fire weather watches and wind advisories that will take effect sunday into monday later this weekend.

But we do have some problems to talk about so coming up i will check in on the richmond sandra fell bridge where crews are clearing a stall. I have a trouble spot so wrapping up on 87 down in the south bay and well take a look at the eastbound skyway heading out of San Francisco as well james darya thank you 32 in the big story, the Scott Peterson murder case is returning to a courtroom this morning. Yeah weve got a judge that ordered the case to the case be reexamined because of possible juror misconduct. Kron fours will tran been following the story for us joining us live from the courthouse there in modesto will. This is a story you covered all those years ago as well and here we are all over again. I never thought i would be back here 16 years later, i was here when Scott Peterson made his Court Appearance with celebrity lawyer. Mark geragos and here it is right now the courts just open a few minutes ago. He will technically be in court not physically but he will be on a Video Conference call the reason why this is going back before a judge. This is the penalty face the Supreme Court of california ruled a couple of months ago the overturned the Death Penalty conviction for him it does not mean that hes a free man, but they will revisit the Death Penalty phase because of the jury back in 2004. During the case made International News that this juror did not release all the information that the courts are asking for and because of that she might have had a conflict of interest that could have prejudiced her decision in the case so they will revisit that the judge will decide whether or not Scott Peterson should get a public defender or he will have his own private attorney now the long game james and darya there is an outside shot albeit very long shot there is a chance that he could get a new trial and then they will revisit this all together you might recall back in 2002 Lacy Peterson was 8 months pregnant they he claimed he went fishing on christmas eve. In San Francisco bay. 4 months later unfortunately her body washed up. He was convicted of murder for Lacy Peterson and seconddegree murder for the death of his unborn son who they were going to name conner at the time they both lived in modesto this case was so explosive james and area. It gave me chills just driving back out here just remembering all. And the media circus, their house all the stuffed animals in front. A lot of people are outraged that Scott Peterson even is getting to this point. But it is the legal system and even if hes granted. A new trial. According to legal experts it could take years. Right now hes in san quentin and has been for the last 16 years back to you. Thank you very much well. 34 is the time and the Santa Clara CountyDistrict Attorneys dismissing cases filed by officers from a south bay police department, the officers, were involved in posting racist statements on social media kauffman said hed mean has the latest. Over a dozen criminal cases handled by 5 San Jose Police officers are now being dismissed by Santa Clara CountyDistrict Attorney jeff rosen, the move is the result of an investigation by the das office in 2 races post on a social media site that were discovered over the summer. The community has a right for the convictions that we seek in the das office to be untainted by prejudice and its my obligation to make sure that the convictions that we receive that we obtain are not tainted by prejudice. Yeah. The social media posts were filled with islam a phobic and antiblack language leaders from both communities say however the da did not go far enough the das decision is an important step in the right direction, but its not enough. A Police Officer joking about violence against women who wear headscarves rights to strangle her with that head scarf covering her face with as as one who wears a headscarf and lives in san jose i was horrified. But now i believe this will continue to allow some officers to close the extreme. However, the president of the union that represents San Jose Police thinks the dia made a political decision that goes too far his Statement Reads in part quote his recent decision to not file and standalone 1, 4, 8 pc resisting arrest charges will cause injuries to officers and escalate use of force against suspects unquote according to the police union 2 of the officers involved are back on duty after being completely exonerated and the internal Police Investigation and administrative reviews are unknown. Has made you kron 4 news. Well rideshare drivers in San Francisco are now considered employees a California Appeals Court rules, the drivers for uber and lyft it will be considered employees and not independent contractors. Uber and lyft have insisted the state labor law doesnt apply to them because they have an arrangement with their drivers ultimately however, this issue may be taken up by voters come november. I would do like the prop 22 decision a little bit better. And being employee but i do think that there could be mimpr they should have had. Some more representation of drivers at least helping to make the decisions to help kind of make it a winwin for both uber and lyft and the drivers. They just heard from a driver whos in favor of proposition 22 and wants to be continue to be considered independent contractors so that the riders are the drivers are split on this but prop 22 is going to be on the ballot, something youll vote on and it allowed companies to treat their drivers as independent contractors, if you approve it. 4 morning news.

I must say leave the furniture outside. Just might not be using it quite as much as you did on those really sunny and warm days that we had been saying as of this morning, not a whole lot of sunshine out there for some areas there is a pretty decent layer of stratus actually pushed into the bay they can for some great conditions for a couple of spots there is definitely sunlight down to sfo though pretty calm winds this morning all Things Considered where we have been you line it up to the stronger winds that we have seen and are about to see it again and today actually taking a step back from some of the strongest of winds tomorrow a little bit breezier but not a whole lot just yet it really is sunday night into monday that wind speeds are expected to increase as much as they will be. And that is something that is causing so much concern likely to be another slew of advisories in effect you can see that by sunday night wind speeds starting to pick back up and only becoming more and more widespread as we eventually push their way into the map as far as gold goes this is actually. Fire weather watches and wind advisories that are going to take effect sunday starting at 11 00am lasting through monday at 11 00am as those wind speeds really kick up now what is the risk here. We have of course going to be seeing a continuation of extreme fire danger even as temperatures will be cooler. We still are in the midst of some really dry weather very dry grasses and dry brush is not to mention humidity is about to be as low as it will be dropping into the single digits. So even though temperatures are going to be in the 90s triple digits, not even the 80s for most of us were still seeing that increased risk of fire danger later this weekend sunday into early monday of next week as for temperatures today, this is the best high part of the forecast. Daytime highs today 70s on this map across the board. I do have to a tease for you thats for walnut creek in vacaaille today. But its just up to right at that 80 degree mark concord in livermore each at 78 napa 76 while areas like oakland, San Francisco, Half Moon Bay in mill valley only in the 60s today, heres a breakdown of your next 7 days so today, definitely still some upper 70s for inland areas, but look at saturday and sunday temperatures cooling even further leading into monday too. Now as for our bayside areas. Temperatures will also further be cooling down into tomorrow before we level out the 70s for next week. And temperatures alongside the coast will pretty consistently be in the 60s now i have here sunday night into monday that wind event is looking to be very substantial likely to be some of the windiest weather weve seen so far this year.

We had a stalled it back to up on the skyway that spilled over to one o one which is solid from 2. 80 so lots of heavy traffic getting out of San Francisco to the Richmond Center fell bridge or stall finally cleared west 5. 80 admits pan still sluggish as we can see were looking at 13 minutes, not bad for the trip into the north bay back to you, thanks robin, its 8. 49 and almost every industry has suffered a major hit because of covid. But a real estate seems to be doing just fine kron 4 Sanaz Tahernia takes a closer look and a newly released housing report that says things are going in a positive direction. A big ray of sunshine thats what Financial Advisor george and his charity is calling the current Housing Market he says well covid19 has created a volatile economy. The Housing Market has remained on impacted the Building Permits were up 5 and new home starts were up 2 home prices in the bay area are still high because supply is low, but chevy says with the new Building Permits new inventory will be created we have about about 3 months of inventory. Really need about 6 months plus of inventory that means were increasing our supply and what we do that the cost of housing is goes down which is really important for first time homebuyers and while prices are still high buyers are still buying according to another report. Home sales soared in september 7 in 10 homes were really in less than a month. And total home sales of existing homes. Rose about 9. 4 so the big question. Should you wait until prices go down before buying a home or by now. If you can. She says that if you wait for new homes to be built. It might be a while since space in the bay area is so limited. But thats not the only reason you may want to consider putting in an offer now you could find a better time for buying because of the fact that the Interest Rates are so low we do project the Interest Rates to start creeping up in fact they be be a 10 year bond. Has actually creeped up a little bit so were starting to see where the rates could go up so you know you really want to secure something he says that you can choose to wait until inventory goes up. But you may be paying much higher Interest Rates. Reporting in San Francisco sauce tahernia kron 4 news.
