I know we joke every day feel the same, but fridays feel different. It is the heat that has us a little troubled, and i thought i heard you mentioned some winds as well. Are those two happening at the same time . Yes i know. And i will explain why. A couple people have written me , they texted my friend steve. Yes. I used to work in denver and i have seen this before. But what would happen is, if that system carves itself out front up to the west, that would pick up the wind for us. So that is something to watch for early next week. When i first started endeavor, the first day i was there, i was on a blizzard, a week later i had tornado warnings. The only thing i kept saying is im not in california anymore. Plenty of that going around, almost everybody, not everybody, 50s on the temperatures, 60s in san jose, the fog, some of it is reducing physical ability, if you get a fog bank like this, you are not going to warm up that much. This will be the warmest day so far of the work week. It is a warmer friday, morning fog and then sunny and warmer. It got wiped out yesterday. It will be wiped out today sooner. It is tomorrow and sunday that the temperatures are going to go up a lot more in about 10 minutes. Over to sal, i do want to say he has had his feet on the desk, but it has been pretty quiet unless something new has popped up. It has been pretty quiet. Good morning to you. You can see traffic is moving along pretty well along the bay area on this friday before the Holiday Weekend, and it still shows you that fridays can be light especially before Holiday Weekend, even during this current pandemic you can see the bay bridge has been very good, no problems on interstate 880, we have been looking at a lot of these commutes, we havent found a lot of slowing, theres 280 in san jose that looks good as well. Lets go back to the headlines. With a heatwave on the way and a three day weekend starting for many of us, Health Officials are getting the word out, stay vigilant against covid19 this Holiday Weekend. Allie rasmus now with the advice from Health Officials. Good morning. Good money. Public health Officials Say that all summer long they noticed spikes in covid19 cases about a week or two after some popular summer holidays. Memorial day, fourth of july, fathers day as well, so ahead of labor day they are trying to get the message out that people need to keep their guard up. They want people to keep their outings local, limited to their immediate family members and low key. Public health Officials Say clusters of infections over the summer were often traced back to things like backyard barbecues, picnics and family gettogethers. The Deputy Health director says part of the reason why is because when people are at the barbecue they take off their masks to eat and drink. He also pointed out another reason. When people have gatherings, people congregate inside in the kitchen to help with food preparation, and drinks and that kind of activity, and we would really ask that only the host be in the kitchen, that guests do not help out with any sort of food preparation. It limits your activity to outside, to outdoors. We will have additional rangers and Police Officers on duty this weekend to enforce these closures. Those closures are in effect for all beaches in pacifica this weekend to discourage large clouds from gathering. Hiking trails well remain open. Masks and social distancing are required, Half Moon Bay beaches are open this weekend, point race National Seashore is closed. In santa cruz and monterey counties, most beaches and state parks are closed. Santa cruz county leaders explain the reasoning behind the partial opening, they said they wanted to discourage people from coming in from out oftown but still keep the beaches open to locals during those evening hours. Most east Bay Regional Parks will be open this Holiday Weekend, but some things wont be allowed like picnicking, barbecuing, and swimming because of Health Restrictions. Crowds are expected so you are advised to make sure you social distance and wear a mask. A heartbroken mother in east bay has an important 20 for anyone considering a trip to the beach. Per the mayor says that her 19 yearold daughter had gone to panther bijan sent a clear beach with friends in july. She says at one point the group decided to sit out on a rock. The mother says that when her daughter, was swept into the ocean by a large wave and drowned. Sometimes its like im living in somebody elses world. You cannot believe that this has happened. It is like sheer devastation. She was our only and she was the absolute love of our life. She was our absolute everything. This grieving mother now wants to warn everyone about the dangers of rip currents and how young life can be taken so quickly and forever in one horrible instance. New this morning, the drug Company Received authorization from the fda for a test to quickly find out if a patient has the coronavirus or the flu. The company says with flu season approaching fast, the new test is very important because it is hard to know if someone has the flu or the coronavirus based just on symptoms. They are based in switzerland, but it does have offices in pleasanton. It also owns another Company Based in south San Francisco. Officials in Santa Clara County say next week they expect the county to move to the next tier of californias colorcoded system for the coronavirus. Right now Santa Clara County is in the lowest tier, in purple, with widespread risk. But next week, it may join San Francisco and napa counties in the red, meaning less risk. Based on adjustments to Santa Clara Countys coronavirus case rate, that would mean that museums, places of worship, movie theaters and Indoor Dining could reopen at 25 capacity. However, county Officials Say that is not likely. The local order is more strict in some areas, so there will not be indoor theaters or restaurants. Many Restaurant Owners plan to buy tents, tarps, and heaters to continue the Outdoor Dining in the fall months. Next week some students in marin county will be heading back to class in person. The Marin County Office of education says they have been working since last bring on specific protocol to keep students and teachers safe. We talked with one woman who said her eightyearold son will be returning to his special education class. She says for him, Remote Learning wasnt working. It has been a long 5 1 2 months since school closed, and we are thrilled to be going back. So far, 15 schools in marin county have been clear to reopen. Right now marin county is in the tier 1 or purple classification for coronavirus risk. It is nearing tier 2 which is red. If that happens, all schools will be able to open for in person classes come september 22nd. Now to the city of alameda where police are looking for at least three people behind a string of brazen thefts from several stores. The Surveillance Video and once incident and we will show you what happened on august 20th. You can see people breaking cases, stealing cosmetics and other product, putting them in bags and thenis asked to call alameda police. We will have a major heatwave this weekend as you know and a statewide flex alert has been issued by the operators of the power grid. We are all asked to conserve power starting tomorrow and through monday to prevent rolling blackouts. Some parts of the bay area will have more than 100 degree temperatures which would increase the demand for power. You are advised to precool your house in the morning and then set the thermostat at 78 in the afternoon. The entire west is competing for supply going into this hot period. Governor newsom also signed an emergency proclamation to release extra Energy Capacity during the extreme heat. That allows power plants to generate more energy bypassed bypassing certain permit requirements. Heres some extra advice, dont use washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, or pool pumps until 9 00 at night. Put bottles of water in the refrigerator to keep them cool. Try not to turn on an oven. They say dont turn it on and also charge the vehicles and electronics in the morning. Lets talk about the weather. I think a lot of the ac repair guys and gals will be very busy this weekend. People either turning the ac on the first time and realizing it doesnt work or perhaps it is not working because it has been working so hard. That is correct, gasia. That happened to me in july, 2006. If your ac goes, you are you know what, out of luck. Ive had a couple guys call me when its cool, call me when its cool. Lets get to it. But gasia is right. Temperatures today will be back, when you have a fog bank like we have today, but it is more in the fog variety, the last couple of days, the bases have been high. Theyre coming it down because theres warm air aloft. Today santa rosa, concord, san jose, from 70s, 80s to near 90s today. We still had a breeze yesterday afternoon, i was mentioning sitting out back, the breeze stopped and i said oh man its getting hot and in the breeze kicked back in. Santa rosa, it is more of a fog forecast then low overcast. 98 to 108 would not surprise, excessive heat warning it starts tomorrow at 11 00 a. M. So does the heat advisory. 52 san anselmo, im sure kenwood is in there, unfortunately is not reporting right now. Last i saw they were about 50 so they might be 49. So a couple upper 40s. It is a warmer friday, morning fog for many, not for all, but for many, sunny and warmer weather, near highest today, but tomorrow they are going above, and it looks like everyone is going way above. It is all went dependent. To beget it a little east or north winds, some of these might be higher than that but for right now it is mainly in inland event. You have to watch for the wind picking up.
