Were monitoring the roads and the skies because its typically a huge travel day the day before thanksgiving we have seen empty airports. I personally well my daughter has seen jfk was a ghost town and then she arrived at sfo which was also so quiet last night, but if you look at the entire system we are expecting thousands of people yes to be on these flights heading. To parts farflung to visit family and friends. Hopefully we keep that number at a minimum a lot of people are planning on taking covid tests before they go just try and get that piece of my however it has a fall got to tell you. Theyre all out. Yeah oh yeah, you needed to have planned ahead for that Sarah Stinson joins us live right now with whats going on good morning sara. Good morning. I went into one of the terminals here in the domestic terminals and i saw that theres quite a few people but it was still very ghostlike like daria explained but sure daughter saw last night still the security lines very empty people are respecting social distancing. I saw that those good news, but still number of people heading into the airport. Sfo expects one 0. 2 Million People to fly through here from last week last friday until december 1st so thats quite a lot of people heading out for the holidays on this thanksgiving were 24 hours out so right now. Were seeing a lot of last minute travelers heading out for the thanksgiving and talk to one man going to seattle talk to another guy going to atlanta all to see family and people saying you know its a scary times, but they want to fly anyway for the holidays, people are very prepared the ring mass some people are wearing gloves as their Hand Sanitizer is also Hand Sanitizer scattered across the airport. So thats good. But is that enough when the airport get specter what about when the airplane gets packed because we know a lot of the airlines. All are filling up the seats and some even selling them up before they said they were going to not keeping that middle seat open as a foot sfo doing a lot to try and keep people safe with markers telling people where to stand so that they can keep the proper distance between each other. Theres plexiglas at counters Hand Sanitizer i talked to people about traveling one man and i asked you know is this worth it checked in with him i want to see how people feel lets take a listen. To travel for this thanksgiving. Maybe yeah, reasons you have to see people to. Yeah, i mean. It bring contact and. Mask and social distance, best and. It will put on the spot we left afterwards disease like this is probably not ours it and i feel kind of bad but he said he needed to go visit family for the holidays. The tow lot of people are feeling even though you know cdc Public Health officials all saying do not do it. I have us a lot of people many though saying im going to stay put im not going to travel this year. Now as a foe says so many people are traveling know that they ran out they sold out of covid tests so that is something to note you cannot get a day of tests here a full right now theyre sold out there is an alternative at United Maintenance center. But thats not a rapid test their results could come back within 48 hours so. If youre trying to get home for the holidays. Thats not going to be your best bet.

He says its up to those that live here stay home to celebrate, thanksgiving. But there people that we already with us. Please do not gather with people from other hospitals, especially indoors. Well, San Francisco has so far avoided being moved from the red reopening tear to the most restrictive purple tier colfax says were so close that will likely happen before the end of the week. Well what we can again question is this are curve but we do expect on their last to be in relatively said on a brighter note. Colfax says the city has purchased 3 ultracold freezers to store hundreds of thousands of doses of the covid19 vaccine once its ready for distribution. If San Francisco does move from the red to the purple tier later this week it will mean that curfew that other counties are experiencing.

Now im talking where were headed for thanksgiving and what else to expect in this forecast all still to come rob all right. Thank you john lets check in on the traffic hot spot finally out of the way 5 of the westbound at bayview right here. Theres a multi vehicle accident we had a semi truck involved 2 lanes were closed, so they issued a Traffic Alert theyve canceled alert. The traffic has recovered the crashes out of the way and now youre looking pretty good passing the scene continuing through richmond by the time that you get to your approach for the Richmond Sandra fell bridge, youre stuck in traffic right around castro also from castro through the toll plaza keep in mind that some of these folks are late because they were stuck behind the crash. The overturned crash back at the bayview exit so 14 minutes and growing from the toll plaza off to one o one in sandra fell here the bay bridge not too many folks on the road this morning. Its a great trip across the upper deck right on through downtown San Francisco to leave you with a look at 92 there it is started getting a little busy early this morning at 4 oclock its still busy to the peninsula. But no major issues 13 minutes off to one o one back to you and robin watch it on the roads today because its the thanksgiving holiday and that means a crackdown they want to make sure driving safely up as they do every year the chp is going to in that crackdown at 7 at 6 oclock tonight lasting through the holiday weekend. And joining us on the phone this morning to talk more about what well expect on the roads and some of the changes that are happening this year because the pandemic is chp officer brandon korea. Good morning officer chris thank you for joining us. Good morning, everybody james darya well to you too, but its a working thanksgiving to you all work on thanksgiving is an all hands on deck. Pretty much depends on what you see in your areas but for the most part all available officers are going to be on the roads there are maximum enforcement period which is just basically trying assist the public to get where they need to go safely without incident plus women were not even supposed to be going anywhere from yeah so thats new this hour we got pulled over just for driving at that time. No you will suggested curfew but if youre going to travel our emphasis is traveling safely so in general speaking, obviously thats a big thing for slow your speed down as a completely avoidable part of the crash is your speed you can control that right. It can and you know always the worry with you know evening parties like this is one too many glasses of wine. And thats when you become a danger to yourself and others on the road, so you can have like checkpoints as well checking for of people that may be inebriated or how are you guys going to enforce the maximum for some period. So best of change from check points to the max amount of officers out looking for impaired drivers that starts with maybe this specific type driving behavior and then pull that person over see it there just may be distracted on their phone. Thats another reason we saw people just after phones dont be distracted. We drive and then that person is deemed to be unfair of the field sobriety test and get that drive across the road. So the rest of the public and be safe not have infrastructure out there thats fair. But i got think theyre going to be a lot fewer cars out there and that youve seen since covid have you seen fewer accidents fewer drunk drivers, you know if you are fewer drivers in general. Its a mix of that there was period there everybody during the middle of this pandemic there was far less drivers and at not something we can be thankful for years less traffic right is less people on the road and during your travels today. But in general a lot of those numbers are down with 4 thankful for but just because theres theres less people on the road theres less congestion doesnt give you the free passes to drive a 100 to get out there. Those drivers off the road, he makes a point because when theres no traffic thats when people are speed absolutely not what you want and then also to given that they were in the middle the pandemic your Police Officers have to obviously take extra precautions for themselves. What are they doing as well to protect themselves when they approach vehicles doing enforcement. For sure always its officers safety you know want to make sure officers say first and then once the situation is it could be the regulars stopper could be a highrisk stop whatever it is but at the same time you know in my barricade right right now, but we have our mask on laws, we have or has that it has just like everyone else is doing. And then were being our best. How we can be safe and that matter spending a little time with us this morning and we hope you have turkey at the office or thankful for full im thankful that 2020 is almost over day worst year of my how about you could go away what about you.

Yeah, i mean all month long guys weve been talking about the weather better be good on thanksgiving. Unfortunately at least this has cooperated with us fortunately we are going to see sunshine tomorrow, nice warm weather and today also one of those nice days to maybe get out there do some shopping last minute before we do celebrate the holiday tomorrow we look outside at our sausalito cam focused on San Francisco show some sunshine overhead we have a touch of cloud cover but thats not stopping the brightness from reaching the bay area making for really nice start to the day were going to see more of that into tomorrow too. Now we are in the midst of a passing cold front this morning. So what is this doing for us whats kicking up a bit of a breeze, its also going to result in temperatures just a few degrees cooler this afternoon. What its not going to do for us is bring us any precipitation. Those showers just right now as they cross the oregon border. So there are a few areas of slick conditions right as you cross into oregon if you do happen to be heading up that direction. Also just some light snow flurries in the Sierra Nevada, its really not amounting to much at all futurecast is looking at conditions, nice and calm across the bay really just a few of those showers right at the edge of the state now as for todays temperatures i mentioned its a little cooler than yesterday was were a lot closer to 70 degrees yesterday today barely making the 60s for areas like fremont and san jose as well as livermore each just right at 60 degrees concord oakland, nevado right at 63 for your daytime highs today now tomorrow temperatures will recover a bit climbing a bit further into the 60s reaching the mid 60s for a few spots and if you are heading outside for thanksgiving, maybe in the backyard tomorrow. The best times of day to do so will be between noon and 04 00pm temperatures will fall off pretty quickly after that. So if you have a thanksgiving dinner planned. Well you might want to be inside for that one, but it will be better for some are leading outside. Temperatures will be in the 60s all the way through this forecast including through the weekend, weve got lots of sunshine sticking around through friday and saturday bit more cloud cover sunday but still dry and chances of rain in sight just yet 30s regularly for your inland evening lows. Robin thank you john we always need more rain but we definitely enjoy the sunshine. Checking in on the traffic is more sunshine. A beautiful shot of the Golden Gate Bridge where traffic looks good here. No problems nevado to San Francisco. We have not had any delays so far at the bay bridge toll plaza, its been Holiday Light on 80 all morning for hopefully this will stick for you 10 minutes to make it into San Francisco, but we do have some crowding at the Richmond Sandra fell the backup here spills to about castro which is not bad but keep in mind that some of these folks were late they were stuck in richmond behind an overturn accident out near bay view. So thats gone a little crowd here getting on to the span but overall still knife, its only 30 minutes to make it into the north bay back to you. Thanks robin 7. 48 National News president elect joe biden continues to make history with his cabinet does it shaping up to be really one of the most diverse cabinets in our countrys history. We have our washington correspondent alexandra le mon to explain.

The first latino and immigrant to lead the department of Homeland Security and a groundbreaking diplomat at the United Nations bidens choice for dhs secretary is had on my your test if confirmed he will be the first immigrant and son of refugees to lead the department my father and mother probably to this country to escape california congressman lou correa says mayorkas has decades of experience and was one of the architects of the dhaka program majorca. I believe will work. Not for a program, thats good for immigrants.
