Like of the entire bay area is going to be hit by this rain and were also going to expect about a foot or 2 of snow in the sierra i will have more details on that and i will time out the storm system hour by hour. Coming up in my next complete weather check for now, head over to the Traffic Center and say good morning to robin good morning to you as well were checking in on your commute around the bay area and we have a light at the bay bridge toll plaza there it is stocked up busy in the cash lanes fast track lanes. This is a first little wave of traffic that were seeing squeezing into San Francisco. Its already stocking up just the over crossing so get on out there now before it gets too bad. Were looking at 13 minutes and growing to make it in and yes its going to get heavier so come on in right now a northbound 2. 80 and larkspur traveling along the peninsula just getting word of a downed tree that caused a multi vehicle north to 80 and larkspur in millbrae this is before you get to 3. 80. Crews are on scene its backing up in both directions so ill be keeping an eye on this down tree an accident for you but as you continue north on one oh one 2. 80 from the peninsula to San Francisco. It looks really good that was the only trouble spots Everything Else is wide open including the skyway and the central freeway, ill check more freeways and drive times coming up back to you thank you robin 6 02 and the covid situation is bad in the bay area and that is why counties are now having to rollback their reopening moran, San Francisco and san mateo counties. They have all fallen into the substantial or red tier. Indicating a higher spread and restrictions and youll notice the worst category is widespread thats purple and you can see that now includes not just sonoma anymore, but also napa solano contra costa alameda. And santa clara which means more restrictions on businesses, especially out there in contra costa lets talk about what is going to be closed and whats going to be curtailed with kron fours will tran he is live in san ramon good morning. Well. Good morning readjust to get it out the way a lot of people were worried obviously about hair cuts under the purple tier. They can still get haircuts but it will be very restrictive the salons the barber shops, they know what they need to do to make sure they and you are safe. So that is not going to be shut down. But what we saw in the early days of the pandemic all the other ever we will see a shutdown when it comes to indoor activities in Contra Costa County. No more Indoor Dining museums places of worship. We are not going to see that for the immediate future as they try to get a handle on covid19. Now you might recall the Contra Costa County just stepped into the red a few days ago, but the governor says we cant wait hes pulling the break as he said so to speak on covid19 in the cases which is why immediately i should not say immediately affective at 8 oclock this morning. But for all intent and purposes youre going to wake up in the purple. This is video from last night walnut creek you can see people Outdoor Dining. They want to shut down Indoor Dining bring you back outside even though its cold and it will rain a little bit later because they want to have as much space as they possibly can to create that social distance as far as Contra Costa County joins 40 other counties, 41 total counties in california that will be in the purple in this particular county the Positivity Rate is still acceptable at 3. 7 for every 100,000 cases. James and area so its good. But they are trying to get a handle of this because this whole thing has always been about not over running the Hospital System with the beds, the staff and thats why theyre doing this now governor gavin newsom says dont keep in mind that other counties that might not be in the purple this morning that based on the information you could leapfrog tears so for example you i go from orange to purple before you know it back to you. Well see if that happens thank you very much well. In the east bay, the Health Orders for the purple tier in Alameda County go into effect. Tomorrow that means theyre no more Indoor Dining no more gyms there inside and no more church gatherings. The county Health Data Shows indoor gatherings contributed to the rapid rise of covid Health Officers want people to continue wearing masks. The risk really goes up quite a bit weve seen that time and again with covid19. Each of the surge is. All of you know famous clusters outbreaks that weve seen. The really the Common Thread is people gather together, especially in indoor theyre not always without masks can really spread in an environment. Schools already open to in Person Learning they can continue but no Additional Schools in Alameda County can reopen their classrooms under these new restrictions and in the south bay Santa Clara County has also moved into the most restrictive purple tier, the changes are now go ahead proper lets move up the changes are in effect this morning santa claras Health Officer doctor sara cody explains how the increase is causing the setback.

Were making sure that somebody is getting their very important items. It makes me very happy. Right now and we are tracking a storm that could get away but look so its so nice out yeah, so if you if you want to get to work before it gets wet, nows the time to go. Yeah i think. I may be closer towards the end of the commute things can start getting a little dicey on the road is it worth leaving your house right picking up and they get find out how intense it might be for you though if you do decide the way weve got back on the Weather Center with that yeah james and ari will if you have any errands try to get them done now at 6 oclock in a. Because guys were really going to see things a pickup closer towards the end of the morning commute maybe around 9 oclock thats how were tracking this storm system all time enough for you in just a moment, but right now look at this gorgeous picture of a downtown San Francisco. You wouldnt even know that there is a storm on the way to the bay area. Our sutro tower camera showing just a flawless clear shot of the downtown area, the bay bridge and all the way across it to our east bayside it is absolutely beautiful this morning but said things are going to change the skies are going to get dark and and were going to see a whole lot of wet weather. Coming to us the winds really starting to be a factor as well radar showing all the activity to the far north of us for now, but it is heading our direction were seeing the coast. Definitely impacted parts of your rica right now and are some pockets of heavy rain showers and even close to the oregon border, were seeing a lot of it. It is moving southeast though and heading towards our direction timing out the storm system on futurecast 4 here we go closer to the 9 oclock hour about half of the north bail be covered under the shower activity but look at this by 10 oclock the entire north bay covered by the rain pockets of heavy rain at times really intense, especially you can see that red on your screen and some of that orange color. The yellow more moderate shower activity, San Francisco. Youre going to be covered by 10 oclock parts of the peninsula as well and even parts of our south bays owner east bays on rather like berkeley and the Oakland Hills were going to see a definitely getting what by 10 oclock this morning. By noontime lunch time here you go everyone is going to see this rain going to feel this rain were going to see a very widespread by the noontime hour and then even towards of the 5 oclock hour were going to see it continue to push southeast with the bulk of its has sticking to our peninsula. The south bay. And our east bay zone moving out towards the valley were going to see some scattered stick with us across the north is on by 5 and then things will start to lighten up as we get closer to the evening hours late tonight and then overnight were going to see things kind of died down a little bit until a tomorrow morning, well see those scattered showers left over showers pop up once again, so you will need the umbrellas through tomorrow and then futurecast for showing us tomorrow night things should be completely dry and out of the bay area leaving thursday to be a pretty dry and a little bit of sunshine for us coming back. The wind gusts though were going to be a picking up over the next couple of hours were going to be seeing things really amp up by 10 look at all the 20s and even 30s that were seeing on the board anywhere from 20 to 25 even 35 Miles Per Hour wind gust depending on where youre going to be by 10 and its going the winds are going to stick with us throughout the entire day today as this storm system this cold front pushes through the bay area tomorrow winds are going to be a factor as well as so we still have left over showers that were going to be seeing then by tomorrow night though thats when things are going to start to quiet down around the bay area so the winds are going to start subsiding as well as the wet weather. How much rain are we talking anywhere from a 3rd of an inch in some spots to a half an inch and then a full inch a little bit over an in our north is on santa rosa looks like youre going get the most and just over an inch nap youre going to get 3 quarters of an inch or so about half an inch for oakland and hayward along the east bay shoreline and then close to a 3rd for much of our south bay zone, your around the bay. Forecaster you go yes, what today and tomorrow, theres a slight chance of rain in the north bay, but the just a really slight chance and then it looks like the rest of the week into your weekend should be nice and dry and mostly sunny conditions into the beginning of next week temperatures are going to be really evenly spread into the 60s. But its as overnight lows. You want to Pay Attention to inland, especially were going to get near freezing if not freezing temperatures for thursday friday and saturday inland, so it is going to be cold out there around the ban the coast it looks like were going to be mostly in the 40s. So rainy chilly and its going to be windy. So definitely just be careful on the roads today and speaking of those roads handed over to robin and get an update. Well, some spots are fantastic other spots we have traffic thats crawling so it all depends on where youre heading this morning, rebecca for folks getting over to the Richmond Sandra fell bridge. The traffic is picking up, but its not bad. No major delays right now and easy 7 minutes off the highway, one oh one here at the bay bridge toll plaza we have this long line of traffic and its filled all the way back the over crossing so yes, its finally packed into San Francisco. You need to get out there early if you have to sit in this 11 minutes and growing for your drive to fremont street and our biggest problem is a downed tree and this is on the peninsula in millbrae its south to 80 near the larkspur exit. Im not sure if the crash caused the tree to come down or if there was a downed tree that led to a crash a very few details here but at last check cruz said all lanes are blocked so this is going to impact you leaving San Francisco south San Francisco, san bruno heading into millbrae and possibly continuing on to the peninsula. So once again south to ad at the larkspur exit down tree led to a multi vehicle accident as many as 6 cars involved there so ill be watching at the south bay looks great 8780 17 one oh one. All nice and light so far back to you thanks a lot robin 6. 18 and the big story is the vaccine were getting closer to a coronavirus vaccine. Moderna says theirs is 94 and a half percent effective. One participant in the trial Neil Browning lives in Washington State he got his first shot back in march and then a second dose in april and he says the entire process has been flawless. So i had a very slightly sore arm after each injection much like i would get from a standard flu shot. I heard about that i had no ill effects and its been really doing anything at all about. Browning was part of a group of 45 Healthy People who volunteered for the first stage of modernas vaccine study. Well until we get a vaccine right now our best weapon against the virus is well theyre drug cocktails like the ones President Trump received after he tested positive. Weve got alyssa gored explaining how they work to fight the virus. By now youre probably familiar with what a coronavirus looks like all those things sticking out from the surface. Those are spike proteins and bio science you t have been studying them since 2013 now companies trying to create covid19 vaccines and antibody therapies are using Duty Research to target those spikes yeah we we know the spike is the weak point that we want to target but professor Jason Mcclellan says if a spike has a mutation that can stop covid19 treatments from working and with the virus spreading globally there are lots of chances for a to mutate which is why this week many you t researchers kept returning to the same point we think the winners in this field on the antibody side are those who are making cocktails a cocktail meaning the treatment contains more than one way to target spike proteins making it harder for the virus to escape. The researchers say cocktails will also help when covid19 develops resistance to antiviral therapy is order in pretty good at making cocktails and have to apply that anti where rave it seems these scientists may have a little time on their side as they try to stop covid19 from outsmarting treatments thats the good news.

And were taking a look at the storm that is rolling slowly towards the bay area will give you the exact timing in a few minutes. Ng din] [sfx Bing Bing Bing ] [sfx bloop bloop bloop ] [ sfx bing bloop ding ding bloop bing ] the day can wait. Enter the golden state, with real california dairy. Its 25 and you know what pops into my head when i see this the weather outside is everything is frightening yeah actually for the Holiday Season between i mean weve got a little rain on our way but its covid yeah and the rollbacks keep on coming and thats how were going to be starting off Holiday Shopping season, another blow, a course to retailers have been struggling all year long to stay afloat during this pandemic the next 8 weeks typically make or break in a regularly year. They make or break an entire and with covid its even worse coverage Jonathan Mccall has more. Its supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year for retailers with credit card swiping in cash registers ringing. But this Holiday Season covid19 could bring lumps of coal to many of them and im very concerned that our businesses are not going to be able to survive this ritual michelin is with the California Retailers association. She says that governor newsoms announcement on monday, returning a number of counties back to the states most restrictive reopening tear is a blow to many retailers now gearing up for the Holiday Season. And its really going to the decision on whether or not these businesses around come january first michelin says with indoor Retail Limited or even banned in some of those tears. It will be tough for retailers, especially Small Businesses and mom and pop stores to keep afloat. She says the states one size all approach simply doesnt work. And if youre 15. 100 square foot retailer. I 25 capacity when the asking to be but its doable here 900 square retailer, 25 capacity can be life or death in terms of whether your business can with nearly 20 of all retail sales coming during the Holiday Season. She says the next 8 weeks will either make or break owners. Not just financially but also mentally mentally becomes really difficult and it does become easier to say you know what ive done and i cant do this anymore. Michelin says these retail rollbacks will also leave plenty of Seasonal Workers out of a job and on the outside looking in a lot of people who depend on that holiday paycheck to probably their Holiday Spending thats not going to be there because if theyre not having that capacity coming into the store theyre not going to hire the employees. No i was Jonathan Mccall reporting the California Retail association believes that more people will be Online Shopping this Holiday Season and that may put an extra strain on package companies to get deliveries in time for christmas. Covid cases are rising in marine county along with many others has been moved into more restrictive tier i live with all the details coming up.

A lot of our camera showing beautiful weather calm conditions this morning and still of the storm system gets to our area or live Camera Network right now showing us a really nice shot the east bay camera thats on top of the hills and there we are seeing some cloud cover move in and then were definitely seeing it right now as a matter of fact and then now you can see on radar. The tieup that line of rain pushing through a and part of the coast there to the far north of us and were going to be seeing it move closer to us over the next couple of hours possibly by the tail end of the morning commute we could it touched down across parts of the north bay but look at the totals that were expecting out of the storm system over the next couple of days over an inch of rain expected in santa rosa. And then everyone else anywhere from a 3rd of an inch to about a half an inch, especially along the east bay hayward youre looking at half an inch to oakland just underneath that a 3rd of an inch expected for the Livermore Valley area and right here in san were expecting about a half an inch of rain as well so we will take it we needed and then were going to see this rain through tomorrow ill track out the storm system hour by hour coming up in just a bit for now lets hand it to robin and get an update on the dry conditions and the roads out there he robin hey there can thank you. Yes, were checking in on the traffic taking a look at the drive into San Francisco. We have a long line here at the bay bridge toll plaza with a traffic stacking up beyond 8. 80 spilling all the way back to the bottom of the maze. So yes. It has reached that point but no we dont have trouble spots that you have to worry about making your way into San Francisco where over to the san mateo bridge. We had a little problem with a stall and some debris that was scattered right before the high rise there on the flat section looks like they finally got him out of the way, but it really kicked off that slow traffic and started backing you up on to the flat section so once again the problems out of the way but theres are slow traffic here approaching the high rise and this one looks like on the hayward side just west of the toll plaza, so it has reached that point and now were up to 23 minutes from 80 across the span and off to one o one want to get that issue gone the so traffic is still there. Were checking in on southbound 2. 80 at the larkspur exit in millbrae a downed tree and a multi vehicle accidents still active so all lanes may be blocked here on the peninsula keep that in mind if so you can just hop over to south one oh one instead of using south to 80 until they get this to you a Little Pocket of slow traffic into san jose on northbound one oh one approaching 6. 80 were up to almost 40 minutes now from san jose to menlo park back to you going to be less driving robin around the bay because theyre less things you can do now more restrictions because of the rise in covid yeah as we take a look at the map behind us you can see that weve got. A number of counties now in the purple tier that includes sonoma napa all the way down the east bay and again thats considered widespread and thats the worst tier which means the most restrictions but even the other ones have gone from medium or minimal or moderate to were substantially you can see. In the red here that San Francisco san mateo and marin county lets go live to sara stinson shes in marin county right now talking about more of what the rollbacks mean good morning sara. Darya james, the storm is a brewing here in live right now in mill valley where they usually close the downtown area here. Well you can see that wind gust right now and they usually close this downtown area with barricades and they close it down for restaurants to have more Outdoor Dining space but tell me this whos going to want to do Outdoor Dining with a storm or say colder temperatures as we head into winter so its going to be hard for these businesses like restaurants to survive with only Outdoor Dining allowed marine is moving from the orange colored here. Moderate risk to the more restrictive red tier substantial risk. Moran is now one of 11 counties had a 58 in the red tier status. The primary structure ins beginning today include retail establishments in indoor businesses in their malls rather are loud at 50 capacity restaurants again only Outdoor Services bars and breweries closed unless they serve meals outdoors wineries outdoor only personal Care Services are allowed indoors museums place of worship and movie theaters all allowed at 25 capacity, gyms and Fitness Centers down to 10 capacity the change that here too does not are in School Reopening process local started reopening september 8th while the county was in the purple tier and now 70 of run schools are open with some kind of classroom based learning so far no case the coronavirus have sprung from any of the in classroom learning now this is going to be a big impact its going to be more weeks of being in a more restrictive tier at least 21 days it will be from Warren County to see if we can get those cases down but again were heading in the Holiday Season people you know they want to see their family which were saying thats not recommended and its cold so people are in the gathering indoors more. 2 things that a recipe for more cases to increase for now reporting live in mill valley, Sarah Stinson kron 4 news since i have you here and we all know island red county and personal questions needed help other because you know the hairdressers we used to do it outside and they were allowed inside i got a haircut coming up. Does this mean the role that means no more hair cuts inside and i got to go back out to the backyard. The ad says personal Services Outdoors you that that seems like yeah its going to be outdoors again so this gosh i havent got my hair done it theres a pocket in marin county where they indoors right and i took advantage of it and then they went right back out doors and then yeah, so there that you need the rain well if its raining and then also coloring you need to have lost and all the stuff in its hard to do that when youre outside people thought i was crazy driving with foils in my hair from the back yard of the hairdresser too much. My house make it work. Thanks sarah. Well, 6. 37 on the clock, San Francisco county, one of those counties that we referenced earlier that actually jumped to tears, he dropped it was at yellow, and now its been downgraded to the red tier which is now forcing the closure of a number of non essential offices, its also reduced indoor capacity at places like Fitness Centers to just 10 . Since october daily cases have gone from an average of just 29 cases per day to now 97 cases per day a big jump. And thats why the mayor now is calling on residents. Not to have large gatherings over the thanksgiving holiday. This year were asking people to sacrifice because of thanksgiving when we get together we see large family gatherings, especially indoors. When those happen. We could be dealing with the impacts of those decisions by christmas with a significant increase in hospitalizations. San Francisco Health director doctor grant colfax took it one step further and called on residents not to travel at all over thanksgiving. The Health Directors also made it clear that should San Francisco continue downward. In this spiral from the red tier to the purple tier. Well there would be additional rollbacks and on the horizon. And once again, heres where the counties are now in the red tier they include marin county, San Francisco counties San Mateo County now san mateo is in the red tier, however, they have an exception which still allows for some Indoor Dining. And hospitals across the area are also bracing for a surge of new covid19 patients, the latest wave of cases could put Hospital Capacity to the test kron fours rob fladeboe reporting now from the south bay. Are seeing an uptick right now Valley Medical Centers doctor Sanjay Khurana and his colleagues at the countys 3 Public Hospitals of emc oconnor has st. Louis. Currently treating 35 patients with covid19 thats 15 more than they had in late october. Well, no immediate threat to Hospital Capacity, this 3rd wave of the coronavirus could increase pressure on hospitals nonetheless says doctor kerr on e. Situation most are testing situation looks right its and make hospital and making sure hospitalizations are up 10 across the county. Regional Medical Center has 30 patients Stanford Health care is 15 well, Good Samaritan hospital has 10 for a county wide total of 110. Complicating the picture though is the expected surge in non Covid Patients says doctor so we okay. Were always dealing with system the way a seasonal youre dealing a potential situation where we can get planning for a 3rd wave requires hospitals to be flexible in terms of moving resources where theyre needed most Colder Weather will make it harder to use tents and other facilities outdoors. Officials say moving back to and widespread mask use may will keep many people out of the hospital. But planning for the next wave is fraught with uncertainty says doctor khurana this what next way. Its going to be a state thats what we saw in the it can be blocked we dont know what we have to as if this is going to be something similar to what we saw in the summer. In san jose rob fladeboe kron 4 news in addition to the 9 bay area counties 31 other counties across the state are also rolling back their reopenings in algona newsome says hes considering a statewide curfew this is because we have seen the numbers statewide double in the last 10 days in all the demographics and regions. Cases today. Well end up in our hospital beds in 2 to 3 weeks. Consistently at a rate of about 12 this is simply the fastest increase. California has seen since the beginning of this pandemic. Governor newsom has not made a final decision about a statewide curfew but he says his plan is still being assessed its something that could happen now on the peninsula. One local leader in San Mateo County is against the idea of a curfew because say he thinks the county supervisor david canepa he thinks that businesses Small Businesses like restaurants especially are going to suffer even more. If theres a curfew he believes the focus that state and local leader should have is on individuals being accountable having to wear masks and avoid gatherings. The curfew. Brings a little bit of fear. I think we should were much more sophisticated. We know what we need to do i think having a curfew is just a total overreach to date there has not ben one infectious scientists that says a curfew works. San mateo county is now in the red tier and it is the only bay area county that is. Still allowing Indoor Dining at 25 capacity. Time now 6. 42 well take a quick break still ahead on the kron 4 morning news, the Trump Administration still refusing to cooperate with the Biden Transition Team now the president elect says the lack of cooperation.

And though we can see a nice a picturesque picture over all the way over if i can secret this morning that would help all the way over to sarah you can already start to see some of that cloud cover roll through we havent seen that earlier this morning and now were starting to see that storm getting closer and closer to the bay area radar showing a up inching closer as we look now were starting at to just northwest Solano County right now definitely overlooking eureka even getting over to parts of redding and its going to get closer to us as we get closer to that 9 oclock hour looks like towards the end of the morning commute. Thats were going to the north bay completely covered by this rainfall future cast for showing us by the noontime hour were going to see it widespread across the entire bay area so do not leave the rain gear at home today youre going to need all and the good news is were also going to see a some rain and some snow for the sierra were expecting anywhere from a foot or 2 of snow. If youre going to be heading up to high country. Rain is going to be sticking with us through wednesday and the snow as well so just keep that in mind and speaking of tahoe, if youre going to be heading in that direction. This is what its going to look like over the next couple of days you probably want to leave on thursday to play it safe because were going to see stormy conditions for today and tomorrow temperatures in the 40s there for the rest of the week and a winter storm warning in effect as well through tomorrow, so not a time to travel, but again once thursday hits you can definitely go there and the wind speeds are going to be anywhere from 50 to 60 Miles Per Hour on summer higher elevations, looking ahead though its going to be wet today and tomorrow, then it looks like things should dry out around the bay area were going to see its a nice and sunny into the weekend. And even towards the beginning of next week with temperatures in the 60s. But look at the overnight lows though were going to see some near freezing temperatures inland on thursday friday and saturday and then around the bay and the coast temperatures overnight are going to be mostly in the 50s and even getting into some of the 40s so what whether its going to be cold and its going to be windy over the next couple of days so just to stay safe out there. Thats a look at the weather, lets head over to the Traffic Center. Thank you rebecca and as i always say before the rain gets here. Its always a good idea to do that little maintenance check on your car top off your fluids make sure your.

All right off to the south where we go northbound one o one at tolley and san jose getting word of an overturned crash looks like the vehicle that flipped over is actually on the shoulder but we have other cars involved in some lanes blocked you can see it backing up a couple of miles here so this is your trouble spot for the south bay, northbound one o one at tally with that accident still beyond that through downtown and continuing to the peninsula. The rest of your trip looks good 38 minutes from san jose to menlo park thats going to go up 70 oh bridge recovering from an earlier problem was a stall and some debris out of the high rise 60 minutes not that at all from Hayward Office and the tail so thats a good drive time, heres your lineup, the bay bridge toll plaza folks are making their way into San Francisco.
