The weather early and stay on wednesday got it to look good just like aoc and back from vacation nothings no idea what day it is he knows john when its over like this it always feels like a monday because youre stepping outside to just that extra hurdle, i guess. So its easy to get confused. We are going to be seeing continued showers into the afternoon today already saw them yesterday but yesterdays rain was the most widespread today were starting to see conditions diminishing a little bit more scattered as far as your rainfall variety goes. Not much of a view from your berkeley cam just yet its cloudy and its misty out there up in the east bay hills, although rainfall has tapered off or east bay hills right now we are seeing our most widespread of rainfall little bit further south. Towards pleasant and toss ahora san ramon youre seeing a couple light sprinkles if you had even further south just yet milpitas down into san Jose Campbell and eventually towards morgan hill in gilroy moderate rainfall right along one o one there from san jose down morgan hill so watch for some wet spots in that direction. Its definitely dried out on the peninsula just sing a couple sprinkles on the peninsula. Maybe a couple of sprinkles as youre driving over the bay bridge in the richmond sandra fell bridge. But there are some puddles on the road from overnight rainfall of course the rain we had yesterday so even though its looking calmer we are still seeing some very wet conditions from those overnight showers that had been pushing overhead Solano County not a whole lot of rain for you left we are seeing dryer conditions in fairfield and vallejo but just an hour ago you had been seeing rain so definitely wet roadways and we have more rainfall to ahead of us if you look to our north right along the north coast into washington, oregon. We still have multiple bands of rainfall that have yet to even reach the bay area thats going to keep us pretty wet as we work our way into the early afternoon. So anticipate keeping the rain jacket on hand even as you step outside for your lunch break later on 50s and 60s for current temperatures, it is a mild start. Mild cloudy and yes rainy to kick off this wednesday. So again bring the umbrellas in the rain jackets with you youll all the way into the early afternoon over to you robin all right, thank you john and being that the roads are pretty slick slow it down out there its been a tough commute with so many spinouts and. Overturns in hot spots, its calming down a little bit but just get out there early if you can especially if youre hopping on a strain because a stray number one, its still late it was 22 minutes leaving vasco out of livermore this morning. So that means the rest of the stops will be behind schedule as well make sure you plan ahead for a stray number one as it rolls from the east bay down to the south bay also get out there early if you plan on rolling into San Francisco. We are packed at the bay bridge toll plaza, heres your full house spilling beyond 8. 80, but its calm its quiet and thats what we like, but its also slippery so once again reduce your speed, especially on those on and off ramps thats where most of the crashes occur so 12 minutes into San Francisco, heres 92 a busy commute leaving hayward on the flat section making your way to the high rise, but no big problems here for the san mateo bridge. So its pretty easy right now, but its congested self get out there early ill keep saying it traveling from Castro Valley to san leandro just getting word of a new accident here as you transition from to 38 at the flyover right before you connect with amendments to 38 north at 8. 80 just getting word of an accident so to 38 is backing you up almost a 5. 80 out of Castro Valley so keep that in mind but at least our other problems on the nimitz has standout but trust me it will have more so be careful out there well check more slow downs coming up back to you thanks a lot robin 6. 33 and our top story is this map look at all the purple thats the worst here you can be and when it comes to covid yeah thats where cases are considered widespread. The most restrictive in terms of. Restrictions on businesses and personal travel from santa clara through alameda contra costa. Solano and across a good bit to the north bay as well lets go there now kron fours will tran has been following this from napa talking about the new restrictions. That are taken effect good morning. Well. Daria how explosive is a situation where the napa county actually leapfrogged one tear they went from orange leapfrog red and now in the purple as you mentioned the most restrictive tier because they have seen a dramatic increase in covid19 cases reportedly just last week about 250 cases it doesnt mean Positivity Rate it still acceptable. But the cases that are being introduced to Health Officials simply too much for napa county and for governor Gavin Newsome which is why effective at midnight or 6 and a half hours into it. We are now in the purple tier. What makes us a little bit different. The weather because now you can not Indoor Dining you cant go inside the gyms will have to do it outdoors as far as the barbershop still can happen but with restrictions so if you live in napa what it means to you is youre almost basically back what we saw in the early summer months, but the difference is now the weather is cold, we expect rain of course today. Its going to possibly get much colder and a lot of places simply cannot afford the outdoor heaters so they probably will have to shut down while its in the purple tier. The reason being is they want to get those numbers down not to overrun the Hospital Systems that governor gavin newsom has always said he is going to run by the numbers as far as napa county you are not alone because 40 other counties in california doing the same thing the most restrictive tier. You can see this place behind me here this marketplace they will open up in a little bit about an hour from now well try to get reaction but the good part about napa as far as the a lot of them are designed for outdoor were talking the winerys saw at least they are a little bit more flexible and some of the other counties chance and area back to you. Thank you well, thanks well. Its 6. 35 while we are waiting for a vaccine, Business Owners are trying to navigate the changing health guidelines, the new coronavirus purple to restrictions in Contra Costa County of course means no more Indoor Dining and obviously as you can see in the video thats proving to be difficult for restaurants, one. Its raining. Yesterdays storm in fact kept people away from the Outdoor Dining tables in downtown lafayette restaurant workers theyre obviously very worried about the months ahead. Were in there, you know we we always we wish for more, i know businesses are struggling in. Were grateful for everything that we have that comes our way and weve got repeat customers that love us because weve been around for a long time. If People Choose to stay away from Outdoor Dining because of the rain and the cold weather restaurants are hoping that you least help them out by ordering takeout that might be the only way they can stay afloat. Its 6. 36 right now and while grieving his wifes death a modesto man is calling on people to do their part to stop the spread of covid yeah chris housers wife brandi died friday and now hes sharing the story of his loss.

Kay recede fox, 40 news. To help california slow the spread of covid cases the state now is updating its face mask order. Now everyone older than 2 years old has to wear a Face Covering while outside of their home. There are a few exceptions where you dont have to wear masks, lets talk about those briefly if youre driving in your car by yourself or with members of your immediate household and you dont have to wear a mask. If youre working in an office or in a room alone. Youre also exempt if youre eating or as long as youre 6 feet away from other people and that are in your household of course you have to wear a mask there and if youre outside and 6 feet away from others. Not in your household and have to wear a mask, but you have to keep it with you at all times in case you do come across others, you can put the mask on if youre painting a service involving the nose or face then you can remove your mask briefly for that and workers who are required to wear respiratory protection are also exempt since there out the nose are already covered certain people are also exempt from the mask mandate and as i mentioned that includes anyone under 2 years old people with medical conditions or Mental Health conditions or disabilities that prevent them from being able to wear a Face Covering people who are hearing impaired or communicating with the person who is hearing impaired and you need to read lips, then you can take your mask off for that and if wearing a Face Covering would create a risk for yourself at work. Youre exempt and these Face Coverings by the way when you do wear them have to cover both your nose and your mouth at the same time to be effective for a full list of the mandate and the exemptions go to our website at kron 4 dot com.

Actually not too happy about delays just like that that theyre seeing on the way up to make sure you have chains. Dennis shanahan has more. Eastbound travelers on interstate 80 were met with the chain control checkpoint at king bill on this tuesday evening, travelers chained up under a drenching rain. The elevation here is about 6,000 feet but just a few miles east and 500 feet higher in elevation. The reason for those chain requirements became clear slippery conditions over the summit because of the heavy snowfall at Donner Summit gas and soda springs, Staff Members are thankful for the storm they already feels like christmas in your body appears real happy 85. The snow is great for business in these mountains, but leslie that hes advises against driving on a night like yeah dont stay home if you had a couple of days. Then come out and if you do come out make sure youre going get your water and pet food if you bring your pets, we love people spend the night sometimes its not good. So just be prepared. Jeremy montgomery is traveling all the way to nebraska but he explains his plans hit a roadblock when a chain installer put the chains on the wrong tires could have been on the rear not the now hes doing it himself hoping to get over the summit while he still can get there. And give them near Donner Summit, the snow is falling heavily on Boreal Mountain resort. Thats where we met Brooke Schumacher and her friends celebrating her 15th birthday. With a snowball night seen actually snow once brooks says her mom has never driven in snow, so theyre thinking about waiting out the storm at a hotel in truckee. That way they can watch the news so this will be on hand. You can see yourselves. With snowfall. I love it. Thats the kind of fun people are looking forward to having up in the same maybe its fun for you if youre the one checking the snowballs but i was the kid who is getting go to the east coast. I hate. Know ball throwing and a lot of the for me and marielis acres never yeah, and i i could never make a good my problems. You can make a pretty good job all i had a younger sister late so fortunately i it the snow as a about the bay area you can go to the snow and you want to you can stay away from the snowballs when you need to we just saw that view of 80 as it traversed up into the summit Donner Summit right here you can see just how a cloudy how windy it is to this working its way back and forth a little bit travel still a moving along just fine up there, but there are chain controls in effect up 80 into the sierra so if youre heading that direction to mind the snow that is continuing to fall on into even the afternoon today were not done with that snowfall just yet for a Higher Elevations. Nor are we done with the rainfall here in the bay area light to moderate showers still continue most of which are centered right around san jose in the south bay, especially up in the Higher Elevations just east of san jose thats where some heavy rain is actually following what we are seeing on the peninsula the north bay and then much of the northern portions of the east bay like contra costa, northern alameda counties. Pretty light activity a couple of sprinkles here and there but much quieter than where we were at the same point yesterday. We still do have some showers working their way southward our direction so were not done with rainfall just yet the sierra certainly not done with that snowfall just yet as we continue to see the impact from this low pressure area pushing multiple waves of energy down our direction so will be a rainy midafternoon rainy early afternoon. But after that we start to see conditions coming down 10 15am right here. A couple of spotty showers still remain will look at showers continuing towards 02 00pm then really starting to die down after that point and by the evening and tomorrow morning. We work our way out of the showers and back into what will be a much drier forecast in the days to come the rest of the week looks to remain dry does the upcoming weekend just around the corner sunday, well have a few clouds along with it but likely to remain dry to close out the weekend. Winter storm warnings in the sierra remain until 06 00pm tonight you saw those multiple views of the sierra snow is still falling it is very slick out there. So definitely watch your travel as youre heading up into the mountains today, maybe save it for tomorrow or into the start of the weekend. When those roads will be nice and plowed and youll still have that fresh snowfall 50s and 60s for todays highs in the bay area, nice and cool cooler than we have been we actually remain pretty cool through this forecast low to mid 60s remain for average daytime highs evening lows are about to get a whole lot chillier were starting this morning on a mild, but rain you know as conditions dry back out or evening lows will have the opportunity to fall back into the 30s for some inland spots to be trading in the rain jackets for the thicker winter coats here in just a matter of days. Robin. Thank you john were checking in on the traffic out there i saw emergency crews a fire truck chp roll through the toll plaza about 10 minutes ago responding to a new accident near the pay gates doesnt look like its on the side because they came right through here enroll passes camera so maybe a little bit closer to the metering lights. Its not going to help whats going on here at the pay gates are already dealing with slow traffic from the bottom of the maze and then the roads are slick to the rain. Its us all a bad combination so get out there early 15 minutes and growing for the trip into San Francisco and once again that accident is west of this camera shot a little bit closer to the meeting lights, not bad here at the richmond sandra fell bridge. The traffic is rolling through the pay gates, but at least its quiet 10 minutes to make it to the north bay and down in the south bay another overturn this is like our 4th overturned crash of the morning. Santa cruz mountains south 17 at idlewild at least one lane blocked traffic squeezing by but its backing up towards the reservoir back to you. Thank you very much robin 6. 52 is the time President Trump now facing increased pressure to share critical covid19 information with president elect joe bidens Transition Team as that process continues to move forward. President like biden did receive a National Security briefing yesterday, but it wasnt from anybody inside the administration instead it was from experts who dont work in the federal government more any more but still have expertise to share and instead of helping the biden team with the transition, the president is instead focused on challenging the Election Results in court though none of those lawsuits have proved fruitful. So far but even with the challenges ahead they say we still have to move forward. My opinion there really are no bombshells that are about to drop that will be rail a biden presidency at the end of the day in my view the litigation will not work. It will not this election. Yeah and in georgia by the way were a hand recount is underway. The secretary of state says that hes getting pressure from republican lawmakers to make sure that President Trump comes out ahead in the recount. He says hes even received death threats.

Welcome back just a few minutes away from 06 00am now at 6. 56 on the dot and still looking at some showers across the bay area. Some of our heaviest of rainfall which isnt very heavy at all that more widespread is sitting just south of san jose now weve seen conditions, calming down for much of the bay which im highlighting for you here. But san jose southward, some areas of light rain youre also seeing rain towards the Central Valley and snow continuing on up into the Sierra Nevada too. Lets actually zoom in on some of our local areas here and what you are seeing as i mentioned is some of that heavier rainfall just east and south of the region in general now they look like things are pretty calm right now, and thats certainly the truth but after some evening showers roadways are wet. So give yourself that extra time to get on to the roads and take it a little slower on your morning commute on into work. We also do have continued showers sitting just to our north which will be working their way down our direction towards the latter part of the day cloudy but calm at sfo currently obviously some very wet conditions on the tarmac and as we work our way through the day pockets of rainfall will continue and 50s and 60s for your highs mean you know you want to keep that jacket on even as we do look at drier conditions interspersed by those showers back to you.
