Dont need those winds sticking around any longer than they need to its actually a ping fire danger rarity for this time of year clear skies across the bay areas we do see offshore winds kicking up especially in the north bay or windy spots right now our areas like Sonoma Petaluma napa on up to calistoga which is seen winds well in excess of 15 to 20 Miles Per Hour this morning, red flag warnings remain in effect for the north bay, the inland east coastal San Mateo County through 05 00pm after that we take our foot off the gas pedal and winds begin to come down quite a lot into the evening tonight, right now temperatures are in the 50s and even low 60s a mild start to this breezy day. Rebecca. All right john thank you a couple of problems to take note of if youre going to be taking the bay bridge soon trying to get into downtown San Francisco. This is going a little bit weve got a little bit of a backup. Here behind the pay gates because theres a broken down big rig, a stalled out to greg that is stuck in the far right lane just passed a Treasure Island so that has caused a bit of a back up across the suspension span and then of course funneling a into a closer to the macarthur maze about the foot of the maze thats were going to see the backup start to extend so your wait time is actually bumped up to about 16 minutes. Coming out of the east bay and trying to get into downtown towards that fremont street exit youre about 16 minutes for your westbound 80 commute and then also theres a high wind advisory johns been talking about said the winds kicking up all morning long and chp does have a high wind advisory issued for the span so make sure that you do have both hands on that Steering Wheel. Coming up in just a bit ill have a complete bridge check with the san mateo golden gate and Richmond Center fell bridge back to the news, thanks a lot rob ive been rebecca. The big story today are the big changes that we face today because we are rolling it back to like when the pandemic began a stay at home order very strict that is affecting almost everybody in the bay area. A San Francisco contra costa Alameda Santa clara. All start tonight marin county joins them. Tomorrow at noon. This is going to be rollbacks like we have not seen in month Sonoma Napa Solano San Mateo County to theyre not doing it yet. But as a precaution before the state even mandates it. We are closing up in the it. We are closing up in the bay area and no more hair have to close. No more even Outdoor Dining so forget restaurants, its just takeout you got to roll up get your food and go right back home. No more gyms no more drivein gatherings over the had all the drivein movies com pop up. Playgrounds are out the kids cant go anymore Family Entertainment centers. Like zoos museums and outdoor areas. Those are all off bounds now open air bus and boat operators have had to shut down. This is all because we have seen a big increase in covid and we are taking precautions before. We are ordered to do so San Francisco parks have new restrictions in place, lets start there all playgrounds skate parks. The zoo, there are all closed. You could still have a picnic and a small outdoor gathering maximum 12 people in San Francisco parks and obviously still need to stick to the go ahead for prop to the covid regulations. Lets get to Something Else thats going to affect you and thats the east Bay Regional Park District that all campgrounds are out there close outdoor museums. Childrens playgrounds are closing at 6 oclock you can still hike so the trails are still open and thats ok its kind of like in the beginning of the shutdown when we first started just got to keep moving. The if you have a reservation, its canceled. And thats through january 4th at this point well have to see what happens with the numbers. Now we had a chance to speak with doctor deborah birx from the u. S. White House Coronavirus Task force about the state leaders here in california making this decision is it the right decision Going Forward just to do all these rollbacks once again, heres what she had to say. You know i dont think california has a choice at this moment you know governors and mayors across this great country want to make sure that hospitals are available to every american that needs care. Yes, the americans that need care from this serious virus in this pandemic. But also americans that need care for their other medical conditions and i think every governor and mayor recognizes that although we are moving this vaccine as fast as possible. And it will be immunizing Health Care Workers and a limited number of vulnerable individuals that are and how Long Term Care facilities. That leaves still a 100 million or so americans with comorbidities that we know. Often result in hospitalizations are succumbing to this virus and so were asking everybody to make these changes now how did we end up getting here if we had all warner mask. If we had not gathered outside of our household. Your governor will not be making these recommendations at this point and i think our behaviors will determine the next 4 to 6 weeks of what americans survive and what americans dont survive. And heres what really illustrates why Health Officials especially in San Francisco are so worried the capacity at hospitals Going Forward, this is a graph a graph that shows you the icu beds situation, the red xs on the left show the current level of available beds, it stands at about a 100 right now. This line is the 0 line anything below means were beyond capacity and it looks like the graph the blue line which projects where were going where were headed if the trend continues. It crosses over the 0 line right near christmas and thats the worry is that by december 26 we could be out of icu beds which would be disastrous for anybody heading to the hospital either for covid related issues or for any other health issue in which you need to be on a ventilator or you need to be an icu bed. There wont be one available to you you may find yourself in a hallway and thats a scenario that hospitals do not want to have to have california just keep setting records. Now weve seen a record for new covid cases in a single day it happened over the weekend more than 30,000 new cases reported saturday, the most cases in a single day since the beginning of the pandemic more than 300 new patients admitted to hospitals across the state brett that brings the total to 10,000 patients hospitalized with the virus. Time is running out for the bay area to get a handle on this kron 4 Sarah Stinson is live at u c s f with the details on what were trying to do sarah. What a grim reality check our citys Health Department director gave us as you just said, mean saying the prediction of that we would run out of hospital beds by this december 26th does a scary thought, but it is a prediction that we all need to do here in the hospitals like this ucsf that would be running out of beds and that would be hugely problematic Health Officials sent that frightening reality check to residents on sunday saying right now were seeing the worst covid19 surges across the city. Hospitals are overwhelmed and might not be able to care for those who need it but unlike other surges every hospital in california is under this exact same stress. So the worry is that there wouldnt be even a place to transfer people if feds do run out. Doctor colfax says in the last month hospitalizations have tripled in the last week have increased by 35 . Lets hear now more from doctor colfax and his predictions. By january force there will be approximately 206 people in San Francisco in need of a hospital bed. And it seems continue on this trajectory by february 4 years there could be 1600. 1600 people in San Francisco. You need a hospital that if this trend continues and we do not slow the spread of the virus. We will be unable to care for people in San Franciscos hospitals. And its not only because of events but its because we will not have enough nurses and doctors to adequately care for people. So what would happen if we had a major emergency or if someone just got in a car crash in needed help Something Like that that would be very scary to know that not only would they have enough staff or beds for covid patients, but any patients at also very scary stuff and this is why all of our Health Officials here in San Francisco said we are waiting in till that 15 . The having 15 or less beds available we need to act now so it doesnt get to the point where we have no beds so the time is now we have that stay at home order in effect and those numbers should definitely. Get everyone get on board with this in stay home as much as possible reporting live in San Francisco Sarah Stinson kron 4 news. Thanks a lot sarah. Well catch up with you a little bit lets take a look at the numbers here caught up on whats going in our state.

If you can catch up and after the break firefighters getting ready as part of the bay area dealing with some dangerous conditions john and today will be definitely a windy one which is part of the reason we do have such high fire danger for another day. We also had such dry conditions lately too. 60s even 70s for highs this afternoon your forecast is ahead. And im tracking problems on the bay bridge show broken on big rig is actually stuck on the upper deck just past the island here. Its causing this big backup behind the pay gates as well as across the suspension span on more details coming up after the break stay with us. 15 right now and strong winds and dry brush make for dangerous conditions. Yeah that was the worry coming into this morning red flag warning wind advisory all in effect for a lot of the region. Some of this video explains exactly why incredibly dry and windy conditions but to have a red flag warning in december and that was on the rare sight. Thats this year, rob fords gayle ong takes a look. Here in santa rosa firefighters are worried about the high winds mixed with the dry conditions. Residents are asked to secure or take down their holiday decorations a potential hazard that could turn even the most festive of times into a fastmoving fire. I dont think we would ever thought that would be telling people to prepare for a red flag warning and take down their you know their holiday decorations at the same time so. Well see a red flag warning in december due to diablo winds expected to return to the bay area sunday night. Coupled with dry conditions and low humidity polo and all assistant fire marshal with the Santa Rosa Fire Department knows all too well, how dangerous conditions can be after the devastating 2017 north bay fires and most recently the glass fire. Both burned down homes in santa rosa will have additional firefighters on staff. For the duration of the red flag warning and thats something youre going to see not only here in Sonoma County but across the bay area as additional departments continue to ramp up red flag warning thats it was quiet in the east bay hills sunday afternoon. But that is expected to change. The National Weather service also issued a wind advisory anticipating gust up to 45 Miles Per Hour above a 1000 feet. 60 Miles Per Hour in the higher peaks meteorologist jerry diaz with the National Weather Service Bay Area office says its rare for Northern California to deal with dangerous fire conditions during this time terms of red warnings in the month of december we had 2 other instances over the last 10 years. As the previous one was actually back in 2017. And then the one before that was in 2013. So those were also particularly dry years and we had some pretty historic fires during those years as well dia says while the north and east bay receive light showers last month. It wasnt enough and there appears to be no relief in sight for most of the models have been showing. Very limited chance for precipitation. There are a couple of moisture plans that weve noticed on some of the longerrange models but really for the next at least through 1st half of december. Were not seeing any i precipitation possibilities, normally this would be a time when we would transition to wet weather by now. As strong winds are expected through the night Firefighters Want you to have a plan have a go bag have an escape route. In case of fire apps here in santa gayle ong kron 4 news. 6. 18 right now and the big word today is when thats what watch so that red flag warning had everybody on alert with the potential for a pg power shut off today but luckily they change their mind over the weekend at least have that the deal powers always you put all the Christmas Lights up and then you lose the power of all that work for nothing. The thing that i never knew that they that be thats the ive never heard of that but that is Something Else that 2020 is doing for a squirrels now eating youre this morning, it is definitely a windy one that has obviously the thing that youre going to notice first and foremost as youre stepping outside it is a nice and bright one in addition to that a Half Moon Bay. We dont have any fog any cloud cover out there whatsoever we do actually have a red flag warning in effect a Half Moon Bay near just one of many spots that are under these red flag warnings this morning that includes the north bay the inland east bay and coastal San Mateo County these areas, especially subject to some of our strongest of winds. That paired with all the dry brush and grass that we have out there because we have been so dry for so long now does up fire danger this late into the season. The good news is red flag warnings expire at 05 00pm after that point winds really starting to calm down for the rest of the day. The best thing about these winds that really has helped to stir up the poor air the had been sitting across the bay. We spent part of your weekend in a spare the air alert as air quality was stagnant and just pour. This morning much improved, thanks to those winds that are unfortunately also picking up that fire danger futurecast shows dry skies. All the way up to the coastline. We dont have any marine layer out there thats because this offshore wind is pushing it well away from the coastline. So even as winds calm down tonight you can still expect another fog free evening ahead of us leading into your Tuesday Morning tomorrow as for temperatures it will be 60s and 70s across the bay area today. Now temperatures are well above average for this time of year normally were low to mid 60s. Warmest and we could be breaking some records for daytime highs today so do enjoy the 70s maybe get out in the backyard, especially if its a bit more sheltered and you dont to worry about the breeze so much you really get a good chance to enjoy the sunshine. The better air quality then of course these warm temperatures oakland youll be at 72 today, same temperature and fairfield sonoma napa in youngsville each also up to 72 for your highs. Even a little warmer than that in petaluma as well santa rosa at 73 today, heres a look ahead at the next 7 days today and tomorrow warmest days of this forecast after that temperatures settle down a lot closer to seasonal averages for the rest of the week and into the weekend. We do remain dry all the way through this forecast into the weekend and likely into next week rebecca. Thank you john him the bay bridge toll plaza approach we did have an earlier stall now big rig. But the good news is it was right Treasure Island in the right lane. Crews have actually clear that so this is going to start to improving over the next a little bit here 40 minutes though to make your way out of the east bay coming out of the macarthur maze, youre just going to have to wait and some of middle toll lanes there until getting on to the span the suspension part looks good. But once you get on to the upper deck and past the island, its still going to be a little bit slow go for you so keep that in mind until it completely clears out of the way. 14 minutes coming out of the east bay over to the peninsula for your sentiments here bridge.

Yeah leaves are going to be everywhere this morning as trash can in the middle of the market so winds overnight have been blowing the breeze on to roadways and theyve also been upping fire danger this morning. So thats why were in the midst of some pretty rare unseasonably late red flag warnings across the bay area, lets get you a look outside of the suture tower cam still dark but it is Crystal Clear these are offshore winds which means that are dry and theyre pushing any sort of fog. A marine layer, well off coast sonoma napa and calistoga petaluma some of our wind year spots right now half moon napa will be windy on into the afternoon too. The good news is winds will generally calm later in the day we get and after 05 00pm red flag warnings expired, but right now theyre in effect for portions of the north bay, the inland east bay and the coast. Rebecca. All right john. Thank you, yes, and speaking of the winds we do have a high wind advisory issued for the bay bridge. So and be really careful. Both hands on Steering Wheel as you make your way into San Francisco and also theres been a couple problems here on the bay bridge for your commute this morning, the drive times under 15 minutes in the San Francisco but were seeing still a backup here behind the tolls and its all because a number of things a big rig was stalled out on the upper deck by Treasure Island thats cleared. But now mattress has dropped in the middle of the lanes on the upper deck. So thats just really going to slow down your drive a little bit into downtown so just keep that in mind this morning be clear out there you make your way out to westbound 80 the san mateo bridge looks great 14 minutes trying to make your way off the nimitz freeway and then over to one o one connecting into foster city that looks good just more folks on the road but nothing to get in your way on the span itself. All the Richmond Sandra fell bridge and an update on the golden gate coming up in just a bit back to the news, thanks a lot 6. 32 and lets get back to the top story which is the stay at home order changing. How we do business in the bay area starting today. You can see the counties that are affected and its most of the bay area. Marine goes tomorrow, but today, San Francisco contra costa Alameda Santa clara. All have restrictions. Sonoma napa solano and San Mateo County. They are not in on this early stay at home order that is taking effect before the state even makes us lockdown so lets take a look at what you can no longer do. No more going to get your hair cut that out know bore going to restaurants to dine in or outside you have to only get take out there. The gyms are closed drive and gatherings are no more you cant go to outdoor playgrounds for the kids. A lot of Family Entertainment is no more anything outdoors that includes a. Outdoor zoos museums are indoors. But you cant go to those open air bus and boat operators are off limits as well they all have to close today. And in the east bay. Restaurants and hair salons also taking last rush of customers yesterday before they were forced to shut down in walnut creek for instance, restaurants, have transition away from outdoor like mentioned. Take out delivery that will be your only option of the 4 barbershops and hair salons theyre going to have to stay shut down potentially for the rest of the month and its a huge blow course to workers especially during the holidays. Its a dire situation to be able to keep some businesses open. In. I believe that the Beauty Industry in the Restaurant Industry are getting hit the hardest for safety wise. Its a good thing that were doing but it also that we can see your friends and family again. During the holidays, but we have to do the right thing at the end of the day i believe that the lockdown home its definitely going to help. Well the new restrictions will remain in place until monday january 4th. Meanwhile businesses were given as we mentioned just a few days to get ready that includes in the south bay as well where a lot of people rushed in to make last minute appointments crawfords taylor second reports that apartment and hair salons and barbershops particularly booked up fast this weekend so fast in fact that some shops opened up on their days off just to accommodate them.

Even the mayors or they have a plan for of some in comes a couple money or something how we got up and that the number one thing is just like man we shut down we still got a ranch in Santa Clara Taylor kron 4 news. Time is running out in San Francisco and the whole bay area trying to get a handle the icu beds situation kron 4 Sarah Stinson is live in San Francisco with what theyre doing sarah. Daria on this windy monday morning. Were all just trying to grasp of the brutal predictions put out by San Franciscos Health Department director saying that hospitals like this one ucsf could run out of hospital beds by december 26th. Health officials sent the frightening reality check to residents on sunday saying right now were seeing the worst covid19 surges across the City Hospitals are overwhelmed and might not be able to care for those who need it. But unlike other surges were seeing that every hospital in california. Under the same stress worrying about not having a place to transfer people if eds run out. Doctor colfax says in the last month hospitalizations have tripled and in the last week have increased by 35 by january 4th doctor colfax predicts there will be 200 people in need of a hospital bed, lets hear more from him now about his predictions. By january force there will be approximately 206 people in San Francisco in need of a hospital bed unlike in previous surges every hospital in california is under stress there will be no place to transfer patients. There will be no other place from which to hire more nurses or doctors which we would otherwise be able to do in a localized crisis. So as you just heard he doesnt just talk about the lack of beds also first to the shortage of nurses and doctors to saying that not only would they not be able to help every single covid patients. But they also not be able to help every single patient in general were talking about emergency room patients. Every kind of patient you need emergency surgery thats going to be a problem if we continue to see these numbers go the way theyre going right now so as we head into the stay at home order we look at these predictions and hopefully this urges people to follow the stay at home order and really just hunker down because otherwise we have very very grim outlook coming our way. Reporting live in San Francisco Sarah Stinson kron 4 news, thanks. A lot sarah. Despite cases spiking and thats home order in effect as sarah was just talking about parents in berkeley are actually demanding that schools reopen and begin in Person Learning more than 300 parents signed a petition calling on the berkeley unified School District to reopen schools. Parents are not demanding everyone they work hard to go to class but they think it should be an option at least they stress the emotional and educational told that Distance Learning is having on their children. We decided that it was time to hit the streets. We needed to show publicly to everybody out there to all of our community were here were here for you and if you guys all want to ban together with us and try to fight to get our kids. Backed his campus safely. Lets do this. Well berkeley Public Schools are working right now on a plan for hybrid learning. But it depends on when the county starts getting a handle on cases again. A similar rally was held saturday in San Francisco. This isnt the first time the states across the u. S. Have had to quickly roll out a brand new vaccine. The process has doctors looking back at the swine flu pandemic in 2009. And the challenges they faced when trying to get people vaccinated rock al sky to has details. The idea that history repeats itself lots of similarities to were dealing with now is an often applied to a Global Pandemic lasted about its so strange strange that around this time in 2009 people like doctor Michelle Barron were navigating the h one n one flu vaccine. People lined up to get the limited number of doses and this guy was on your screen is a gap between supply and demand initial supplies for the h one n one vaccine were limited so only highrisk populations like kids and young people received that first according to a 2010 brief from the state legislature. Colorado initially got about 250,000 doses of the vaccine. But by the end of 2009 distributed over 1 million to county Health Departments and other providers that was nearly 3 months after the first doses became available by the time the vaccine was widely available case numbers were declining doctor barron an inf ctious disease specialist at u c house remembers the challenges they faced and didnt know what we were going to get it we didnt know how much fear and against. And then we didnt know who would actually take it they actually received the the ship she says it was a combination of those things that led to public distrust in the vaccines still because of the timeframe in which it was done a lot of skepticism about whether corners have caught whether they were really following through all the normal process is a big difference from what were facing now h one n one didnt throw off our entire way of life the way covid19 house for nearly 9 months thats the nation for a twin and one us to help sort of lowered the caseload but it wasnt meant to be like ok we can start living her life again kind of meaning and so this is just going to be much longer process to get there. That was rachel sky to reporting doctors say one of the biggest Lessons Learned from 2009 is being as transparent as possible. About vaccine. Speaking of which theres a new breathalyzer test for covid19 Dallas Based Company world inc and texas, am university along with the u. S. Air force have teamed up for what theyre calling. Worlds protect. Now in this new test instead of q tip up your nose which is pretty painful a person just blows into a machine with a disposable straw that machine then tests for specific compounds that the body generates while fighting covid19 and if it shows signs of those compounds. Well, itll send those results right to your phone in seconds so you know. At it. You know for literally like 5 2nd boer, the system in less than minute youre going to result right and so the goal that put that on the cell phone. For now the prototype isnt being used to officially diagnose anyone with covid yet theyre still testing, but its acting more as a well screening system really to let you know if you should go get a more detail test. The company says the device is accurate and its comparable to results from a swab test. Well it is a very windy start to this monday morning skies are clear though and temperatures are pretty mild as you venture outside. Later today, were going to be seeing highs in the 70s for much of the bay. Your forecast is ahead. A high wind advisory issued a buy the chp for the bay bridge that used to take note if youre going to be taking westbound 80 into downtown San Francisco traffic is starting to thin out here we had a number of problems on the upper deck all have a complete traffic check coming up after the break stay with us. 6. 46 is the time and the big news is in the weather how windy it it is yeah and how that sort of amplified the fire threat. In the month of december for the bay area which is pretty john is just a oneday deal. So yeah we are looking at red flag warnings expiring at 05 00pm today guys so definitely more of a oneday event here and after this winds will be a whole lot calmer for the rest of our forecast which is good news at least we didnt have those power safety shutoffs last night so we all have power this morning as youre waking up this monday morning and were all looking at a breezy clear start to this morning. Sfo. Definitely on the windy side. But our windiest of spots are actually up in the north bay, which is one of the reasons that those red flag warnings are really lighting up the entirety of the north bay from the coast at sonoma are in counties all the way into solano county. Inland east bay and coastal San Mateo County also affected by these red flag warnings and wind advisories on top of that through 05 00pm today in these areas winds will regularly be 15 to 25 Miles Per Hour range gusts as high as 45 Miles Per Hour in our mountain tops some of our peak gusts today could be as high as 60 Miles Per Hour now one of the good things about that wind is its really helped to clean up our air quality actually we were under spare the air alerts for much of the weekend with their quality having been so poor the corporate there was stagnant air across the bay all the air is not stagnant anymore. As winds rush across the region. These winds are offshore so its pushing any sort of marine layer away from the coast, one of the reasons were so free of fog this morning and were going to stay free of fog as we work our way into the evening tonight, another clear start to your tuesday tomorrow and tomorrow will be another one of these warm days, daytime highs today in the low 70s for mission in financial districts daly city as well as up and down the peninsula and south San Francisco down a little bit further south mixed in with those upper 60s now these temperatures are well above average for this time of year and are actually likely to be record breaking for a whole lot of the bay area today low 70s for hayward well union city in fremont in the upper 60s, san leandro in concord at 71 oakland youll be at 72 today with 72 as well for areas like sonoma napa and fairfield and even a little bit warmer than that for both petaluma and santa rosa at 73 degrees each today.
