another state going against the science tonight. the state of wyoming announcing it will repeals it mask mandate, meaning that as of this hour 15 states now do not have a mask mandate and three more states, including wyoming, are planning to end theirs in the next coming days. dropping masks, despite coming a plateau of the number of cases in the united states. right now the united states is averaging about 60,000 cases. now it is just hovering there. it is plateauing. it is exactly where we were in the summer when many of the states, including texas had mask mandates. so here is the problem with this. if we get it right now, this could be the turning point. there is so much that is critical that is riding on the next two months. how quickly that we vaccinate versus whether we have another surge really relies on what happens in march and april. so, it is crucial right now. on that front let s take a look at what is happening in boise, idaho. there is a burn the mask rally
The solemn tradition followed by the start of the celebrations im proud to be an american where at least i know im free with a make America Great again concert at the Lincoln Memorial. Now just hours from becoming americas 45th president when he takes the oath of office here at the capitol. Trump is said to be finalizing his inaugural speech. Its going to be a personal and sincere statement about his vision for the country. This tweet from the First Lady Michelle Obama shows her gratitude as barack obama spent his last full day in office. Such a very interesting time after eight years tonight, the obamas will spend their final night at the white house and tomorrow night, donald trump will occupy that home. Again, its a tremendously exciting time to be in washington on a number of fronts because there is great excitement about the new president. There is also great opposition. That is a big part of this story. Weve been speaking today with a number of people from the bay area who have c
This will linger into your morning commute as well. Lets get straight to the radar and show you where the heavier radar is. Its San Francisco stretching to oakland, barely getting wet in antioch. Same thing in hayward. San rafael same thing. Were going to see some lower elevations now, some dusting at Higher Elevations around the bay area. Closer to discovery bay, all seeing low showers. Moisture on the way the rest of the night. Why 2 am, wind speeds will start to kick up. Lets plan out your day tomorrow. By 9 am, lots of rain expected. Inland locations, 48 degrees, rain and wind by noon. Our wind speeds will stay very strong with the system. Low 50s by the coast, the bay, and inland locations.

And hot tub used to stand. Last wednesday during the height of the storm drain water rushing down the slope of the Santa Cruz Mountains eroded the soil underneath the deck. The deck obviously gave way early that morning. Sliding almost into the road. Right as the sun was coming up you heard a big snap and it was all the legs going. And that was thats it for now. Reporter there were no injuries but the deck and hot tub are complete losses. Neighbors raced to the rescue helping cleared mud and debris from the road which reopened this last weekend but it has been raining actively today and more is forecast for tomorrow which has many residents worried. I think were going to see more landslides. Are you doing anything to get ready . Thats why im out here on this tractor. Clearing the culverts and trying to make sure the road is passable. Reporter we saw some county crews out also doing the same trying to make sure the roads leading up into the mountains are passable. If the deluge can weak
Now the question is. How much of fight will democrats in the senate mount . With three Court Members in their 80s or near 80. All three liberal or moderate. Pres ident trump could easily have one or more additional appointments. And those could really shift the way the court leans. Some think the demoncrats should wait to make a stand. But Many Democrats are still bitter. Last year, republicans refused to consider president obamas nominee for the seat. Merrick garland. That was a big gamble leading up to the election, and it worked out for the gop. Democrats are already vowing to delay the process for confirming judge neil gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Kron 4s alecia reid continues our coverage she spoke with people on both sides of the aisle about president trumps pick. Most are expecting democrats in the senate to fight this nomination. Not because he isnt qulified, but because donald trump picked him. Pkg sot the democrats right now have a lot of issues in respect to donald trumpnei
