Good wednesday morning to you. Thanks so much for joining us. Im laura garcia. And im marcus washington. Well get to the commute in just a bit. First lets start with the forecast. Meteorologist kari hall has been tracking those temps for us. Were starting out cool this morning in the trivalley, checking out whats going on in dublin, and we are seeing some clear visibility for now. We will see some light, patchy fog drifting by, but it will be slightly cooler today. And by tomorrow well have a very cold morning. Some of us may be starting out near freezing. Our dry weather does continue at least throughout the weekend. Well talk about whats ahead coming up. Mike, how is it looking right now for the commute . Kari, its looking really great right now as we look at the bay bridge toll plaza. Very light volume now and i expect for the earlier morning commute maybe 6 00, 6 15 well see slowing. Well watch that. The maps show no major issues around the bay. Maybe a little fog in the north bay.
Heat on my hand, which was concerning. The skier who fell down a volcano vent talks about what happened next and how she got out.

Marin county will begin restrictions tomorrow. Joining us to talk about its effectiveness, Infectious Disease specialist dr. Monica gandhi and ash coalrod. Thank you for joining me today. Thank you. Thank you. I want to dive into whether the new restrictions make sense. Bmp we do that, the governor announced alarming new numbers. Dr. Gandhi, when numbers caught your attention . You know, its aptly true that were in a surge, we have increased cases and many areas in the state have increased hospitalizations. This is not true we havent reached yet in the bay area. This is a prophylactic move to prevent us from getting into the kind of criteria that the governor explained. They were not there. Its a prophylactic move. We have to restrict activities, and so now the question becomes what makes sense, what gets restricted and what doesnt make sense. Thats absolutely true. Many things are closing down again. Indoor entertainment, outdoor playgrounds, that caught a lot of people by surprise. A
Monday. It was noisy last night due to the winds. Thats part of the equation for the red flag warning. Outside the Santa Clara Valley were still dealing with the potential of damaging winds through at least 11 00 this morning. Now, you factor in drier air thats rolling in after 11 00, thats why we have the red flag warning thats going to extend until 5 00. It does not include the Santa Clara Valley. Youre missing out on both of these. The San Francisco bay shore and San Francisco also not in the red flag warning. Lets look at the winds right now, up in the Higher Elevations, still pushing well over 40 Miles Per Hour. Weve been up around 50 and 60 during the night. Thats why its been noisy in some neighborhoods. Down at the surface, seeing 37 at Half Moon Bay. 33 at fairfield. 24 in San Francisco. 31 in santa rosa. This is also going to help us push into record territory this afternoon from 66 in Half Moon Bay to 74 today in santa rosa and also in antioch i should say also in fairfield.
