Thank you john checking in on the traffic and we have a little bit of a line here squeezing into San Francisco were taking a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza where the backup stretches beyond the over crossing so pretty sluggish year coming in. Its completely normal so no crashes no stalls in the mix were doing fine at 11 minutes off to fremont street. But that number is going to go up down in the south bay traveling through san jose this morning keep in mind that a Police Investigation is underway. Mckee and capital a heavy Police Presence lanes are still blocked here so avoid this stretch if you can hes doing fine, one oh one is doing fine. No other big problems through the south bay just a Little Pocket of slowing north one oh 1, 6, 80 to 80 thats it well check more traffic coming up back to you, thanks robin 6 o one the top story coronavirus cases are on the rise in california and the governor is considering forcing counties to roll back their reopenings yeah here in the bay area we have Sonoma County still in the. Worst category and purple there meaning widespread the majority of the rest of the bay areas in that orange a moderate level we have San Francisco of course best of them all with minimal, but we are looking at things beginning to rise in terms of the numbers county by county and one of those counties is santa clara, lets go there live now kron 4 Sarah Stinson following what theyre going to be doing as far as rollbacks are concerned sarah. Governor gavin newsom says were seeing signs statewide of a second wave in this pandemic were seeing a 50 increase in our case rate in just the last 3 weeks, lets just take a look at the california numbers so you can get a good idea of what were talking about i think seeing the numbers help to understand why things are so severe or testing nearly 144,000 people a day on average nearly 6,000 people are testing positive a day putting our Positivity Rate at 3. 7 . Covid19 hospitalizations across our state are also up to 29 right now most of our bay area counties are in the states orange tier. But if we fall into the red and purple tier that reverts back to a time when activities and businesses were more restricted governor, newsome wants to remind people that this is not a time to become more relaxed. Its been an increase in cases here in the state of california. Its for obvious reasons people are letting their guard down the taking their masks off theyre starting to get together outside of their household cohorts there started to see businesses reopen and were starting again to see more people mixing as it gets colder. Well see more still so this was anticipated. No one is surprised by this. Governor newsom believes some bay area counties could fall into those more restrictive tears later this week so hes going to be talking more about this today and he asked everyone to please do your part to stop the spread of the coronavirus for now reporting live in palo alto Sarah Stinson kron 4 news all right, thanks. A lot sarah. Well check in with you later. So lets dig a little deeper now into the south bay as we just mentioned the surge in new covid19 cases could force local Health Officials to tighten their own restrictions. Santa clara county saw more than 350 new cases on sunday thats the most theyve seen there since july. Another troubling sign is a sharp increase in hospitalizations Health Officials trying to figure out now whats causing the search. Its possible that. We are about a week plus out from halloween. Its possible that we are all experiencing pandemic fatigue as weve been this for a very long time. Now the county stepping up enforcement of its Health Orders so far 79 businesses have received notices for noncompliance with more than a 1000 complaints about possible violations. Heres a look at the latest numbers as it relates to coronavirus weve surpassed 10 million cases now across the country. More than 237,000 people have died nationwide here in california more than were almost 18,000 deaths have been reported so far and for the bay area we are now above 1800 deaths from covid19. It doesnt matter your party, your point of view. We can save 10s of thousands lives of everyone would just wear a mask and the next few months. An appeal from president elect joe biden wear a mask when he takes office in january even then he doesnt have the constitutional power to issue a mandate nationwide. But Infectious Disease expert at u c berkeley say the studies are clear everybody should wear a mask to save lives so moving forward biden is asking americans not to look at wearing a mask as a political statement pose as a way to stay safe. According to a Political Science lecturer from san jose state biden can only model a mask policy and encourage local governments to adopt it. All the federal government has a lot of buildings and control on land and so they can start a mask requirement or federal employees from way out of the second thing a president has bully she urge all. Just try to encourage people to get better about masks and as the pandemic it gets worse. Actually be easier to left. There are currently 15 states that do not have a statewide rule requiring masks to be worn. Well in the north bay sandra fell city schools are welcoming kindergarten through second grade students back for in person classes today, but of course masks are required and lots of other safety guidelines as well lets go live to covers will tran hear more about what theyre doing in front of Sun Valley Elementary School this morning. I will. Good morning. Daria yes theyll be doing a lot of things social distancing they will make sure that the kids dont have a temperature they will make sure that their masks are always on to the point is to the point where theyre telling the parents dont bring snacks to the classrooms because its a half day and they want their kids to have their masks and not take it off to eat at any particular time. Take a look at your screen you talked about him in front of sun valley, this is one of 7 schools in sandra fell doing exactly what Berkeley Unified School district 3 Elementary Schools in that area did yesterday meaning welcoming the kids back inside the classrooms, were talking but he of this stuff, san Pedro Coleman sun valley, glenwood the nation valley and lower odell know unlike berkeley where the kids are in class all day long in this particular case they will have 2 sets of kids the first set will come to the classrooms in the morning and then they will rotate out for another set to come into the classrooms and when theyre not inside the classrooms. James and darya they will do Online Learning as far as the sandra fell School District in the schools here. They got the blessing from are in human health services, they say that everything is seems to be a pinup as far as this particular area. Before opening today to the students actually tested about 1000 people in the community were talking Staff Students the parents just to make sure how their covid19 rate is among them and they are satisfied with that which is why theyre allowing the kids back inside the classrooms if youre waking up right now getting your child ready for school leaves bundle up i want to make sure that your warm inside the classrooms. I grew up in seattle in every classroom i ever had was free think holds up make sure little johnny or jail has a fix wetter back to you absolutely all right will thank you very much. From sandra fell lets go to San Francisco now where students there probably wont expect to return to the classroom anytime soon. The district is in the middle right now inspecting each school in assessing whether the buildings air can safely support classes, one of the big challenges is making sure that the air circulation and ventilation systems meet the new Health Requirements that are in place in the best Case Scenario some students likely Young Children and those with special needs might be able to return to the classroom maybe after the first of the year we could learn more during tonights School Board Meeting we know that at least one board member is going to submit a plan for getting kids back into the classroom. 6 09 right now and still ahead on this tuesday morning, the future of the Affordable Care act is in jeopardy. Its headed back to the Supreme Court today and the Oakland Police are dealing with more gun violence. All across the city were going to tell you about the rise in shootings and what theyre doing. Plus the first snowfall. Its the sierra well take a look at the changes if you want to ski during this pandemic. And while the sierra see snow. We just have chilly conditions here across the bay area at least plenty of sunshine along with the Cool Temperatures today. It will be 60s later today for San Francisco, oakland and san jose. Your forecast is ahead. And like what i see so far on the road said your trip into San Francisco looks pretty normal. The backup is growing beyond 8. 80, but no big problems hot spots here for 80 will check more bridges for you coming up. Great day on the lake it is. Lunch is cookin and i saved a bunch of money on my boat insurance with geico. Fellas, can it get any better than this . Whoa my old hairstyle grew back. So did mine. [80s music] what . I was an 80s kid. It only gets better when you switch and save with geico. And you know what the snow and cold has we thank him skeen yeah, i know youre thinking about koko but i yeah so weve got obviously the sierra looking like this some ski resorts hoping maybe they can start gearing up for ski season now, but of course with covid19 theres going to be some changes to get to keep all that in mind a new saying and i always get a reservation system and i always think you know all its going to be a pain but you know the day before youre going go skiing youre going to go skiing right so just make a reservation lonnie wong has a look at our works. If we can still fall in the lake how area doesnt seem like much around 6 inches of snow at lake level to about a foot at the higher elevations. But the mere hint of a normal ski season after a dry october beginning of november has resorts gearing up for the new season, ski resorts like homewood are now making snow and temperatures allow to add to the latest snowfall. It gets people super excited. I know, im excited i know our guests are getting. Pumped up for the season as well. Theres always a lot of the songs i 84 ski resort was the first significant snow of the season hits the ground. But when the ski season starts in earnest in the coming weeks, the operations for many of them will be significantly different homewood has been planning for a safe covid19 ski season since the summer it limited season ticket sales to 25 of capacity. They just sold out their season ticket allotment weeks before its december 11th opening day ticket windows will also be closed daily tickets will be sold online only and fewer of them. Are also limiting our lift ticket sales every single day of the season to really make sure that we can ensure social distancing not only on the mountain but interface areas to homeless goal of fewer guests per acre can be a good thing for skiers who will see fewer crowds on the resorts 61 runs another possible covid plus buying food will be via phone app instead of in the lodge. You could be skiing on the chair left make your order online get a notification when your food and beverages ready go on take it off and keep skene. Also this year home what is encouraging guests to make their car their lives since the lodge will have limited capacity. Luckily, its parking lot is unusually close to the base of its runs. Ski lift rules will also be modified. So if you come as a family jump on that are left together or if you come as a single just ride alone. No one knows how covid operational changes will work the first things first resorts are looking forward to more snow this coming weekend. I believe theyre talking about it up to a foot maybe more. And then it looks like the pattern could be lining up really well for the rest of the month to at lake tahoe. Lonnie wong fox, 40 news. Excited and as i was telling you i did think it was a pain at first, but i dont think its that big of a deal realize, yeah you already know a day before going to anyway. Thats when you just call write and i always conch out so im in the lodge having lunch before its packed, but theyre not going let you pack it right so everybody is usually didnt want to like 1 oclock and i quit after like 6 runs like a lemon am done so theres a way its all going were going to work around yes, its going to be good and is there any sign of maybe more snow on the horizon coming what do you think yeah, its looking like plenty more snow actually guys this upcoming weekend is likely to bring some more of it into late thursday early friday, then again friday night into saturday and longterm signs are pointing towards an even more powerful storm possible into the middle of next week. So thats a lot of that snowfall up there in the sierra and that is definitely good news for those key businesses that really do need the business as for your view outside i 80 this morning, it is nice and clear but roadways are definitely a little bit slick as we have seen conditions.

Now friday night into saturday looks like an even more steady push of rain fall into the bay area and more snow in the Sierra Nevada that could amount to another foot of snowfall on top of what was already seen up there. So now were building that solid base and it looks like that will continue into the following week too with an even heavier dose of snowfall expected. 50s and 60s for your highs across the bay area today, this is a whole lot like we were yesterday couple of degrees warmer first few spots like burlingame at 66 foster city and seeing carlos also at 66 for your highs while in the south bay back into the low 60s after yesterdays upper 50s temperatures in the east bay also mostly 60s today oakland at 63 richmond at 61 orinda at 62 along with castro valley.

Thank you robin, good. Thank you all right, lets talk a bit more about politics that tops our National Headlines th s morning President Trump as weve. Been telling his continued to refuse to concede the election. This is a look at the Electoral College map right now as it stands this morning. The counting still continues in georgia too close to call though biden has a growing lead there. Were also looking at the state of nevada and arizona to where the president continues to eat into joe bidens lead there by the still ahead by about 14 and a half 1000 and its unclear right now if there are enough votes left in arizona for the president to close that gap, the conventional wisdom is that there arent, but well keep counting to make sure and the president continues to make unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud. Morgan wright has more on that. What donald trump is doing is downright. Dangerous near going senators Chris Van Hollen and ben cardin say they want all the votes from the election to be counted. But its clear that joe biden will be the next President Donald Trump is doing is 80 and abetting. The enemies of democracy legal issue should that are legitimate should be litigated. But to date we havent heard of any basis or a legal challenge center carden says he wants to see a smooth transition of power, but has concerns over road blocks from the president so far General Services administration isnt releasing funds to the biden team to pay for transition planning. I am the ranking democrat of the committee that has oversight over gsa. Were investigating what options we have in the meantime the president s attorneys, Rudy Giuliani alleges widespread Election Fraud but in almost every state. President trump had only. Going into the end of election night. Some of the leagues looking almost mathematically impossible. 2 10 20 for the vote. It almost all of those this practice was followed. And im right now trying to find do we get to see any ballots that we use for that purpose if thats case that we have a massive nationwide lawsuit and on twitter the president maintains he won the election. Reporting in washington, im morgan wright. Well california state leaders arent waiting theyre already gearing up to work with president and Vice President elect joe biden and Kamala Harris. Although President Trump again not conceding the race just yet governor Gavin Newsome says that the state will not be waiting to work with the new by Paris Administration theyre taking actions now. This is an exciting and live time and opportunity for the state of california and were going to were going to do everything we can to maximize it and to do so very efficiently and effectively and we are not waiting. President trump to make an announcement saying hes walking away and work its way through the court system we are working very collaboratively now and engaging all of our department head. Again that was the governor saying that he has yet to speak with president elect joe biden but conversations have already started with friends and colleagues and Vice President elect Kamala Harris. Governor newsome hasnt given a timeline yet for when harriss Vacant Senate seat will be filled, but already speculation is wrapping up thats right San Francisco mayor london breed has reportedly emerged as one of the possible candidates. To fill Kamala Harriss senate so we see them all Bridget Barlow though reports that the coveted seat is attached to a lot of other big names in california politics as well. The campaign is on to fill Vice President elect Kamala Harriss Us Senate Seat when she resigned the power to name her replacement foes in the hands of california governor Gavin Newsome having a u. S. Senate seat to fill by appointment is a very very rare thing the last time a california governor appointed someone to the senate was nearly 3 decades ago when then governor pete wilson replaced himself as senator and now just 2 days after joe biden and Kamala Harris has projected election victory Governor Newsom is already eyeing potential candidate to take care his place on capitol hill, hes get lobbied by everybody everybody wants this job being United States senator from the nations most populous state is one of the plum political jobs of all time political insiders say some of the people being considered right now are california congresswoman karen bass, San Francisco mayor london breed and california secretary of state alex padilla who many are calling a frontrunner for the position that has a long connection gavin newsom. Also hes obviously latino and that would be a first have a least in modern times to have a look you know senator from california and gavin newsom somebody who likes to ghana. Explore New Territory and that would affected from that standpoint Governor Newsom said monday. He is in no rush to fill the seat. But dan walters of calm matters says the pressure is on to close a Senate Vacancy quickly dont want to have the seat vacant in case the senate winds up to be a 5050 tie which you could. Then you dont want to have a vacancy walters says new most likely announce his pick in january after harris is sworn in as Vice President predicting it will be put dia to replace the nations first black female senator if it were or some other latino going to washington from california.
