Expect still ahead. Robin. All right, thank you. John yes, well get to the fog in just a bit but we do have a trouble spot to talk about in oakland, its a car fire that slowing down traffic a little bit we actually have some video coming up from the citizens at the shows us exactly whats happening there check this out you can see fire crews have made it out to the scene and it looks like an xfinity van that was involved in an accident there and caught fire so emergency crews are still blocking this is right along hagan burger next to the nimitz freeway so this is not on the nimitz but its the offramp so theyre requesting Traffic Control theyre shutting down the hagan burger offramp to the south only as they deal with that accident and vehicle fire so its going to be a little slow you may want to dump off before or after hagan burger, if thats your normal exit. Now the northbound side the ramp is open. But its a visual distraction and we have some commute traffic there as well to north that slows from to 38 in san leandro all the way up to hagan burger but only 15 minutes to downtown open. Thats not bad at all. The fog karl is in the way this morning, the bay bridge, the golden gate, the car keen as all under dense fog advisories from chp so headlights and wipers will be needed. The slowing its normal its slow from west grand only 12 minutes into San Francisco darya james. Thanks a lot robin in the south bay under new state guidelines Santa Clara County says that kids can return to the classrooms. But san joses the School District says not so fast no they want to hold off just a bit kron 4 Sarah Stinson live in san jose to explain. Why good morning sara. Good morning. The superintendent says while Santa Clara County is moving forward in a good way into tier 2 with the states. Codes tear system she says that they say it is time to reflect on san joses number she says those numbers are continuing to go up and theyre not comfortable Going Forward with in person classes and the best thing to do is what theyre saying is to be consistent for not only parents and students but also the staff so consistently. No ones going back to the classrooms here in san jose in this district until december. Probably until january christmas and all that, but theyre going to tell you in december had back which will probably be next semester if all goes well though supernanny also says cases continue to rise there just not comfortable, but they did say they put out a survey to parents staff and students and it showed people wanted a consistent plan throughout the semester whether that be consistently going back to classroom or consistently during distancelearning well turns out Distance Learning is the route that theyre going to take now while in Person Learning is the very best type of learning they said they will revert back to that one and is known to be safer and that will likely be 2021 it all depends on case numbers and accessibility to Rapid Testing which they say has gotten a lot better here in san jose. So they will be continuing to monitor that as well as state guidelines because this counties and clare county and all the counties in tier 2 have to be in it consistently to stay in it and to allow those schools go back to school in person and you know locking changes weve seen before so they decided were going to stick with Distance Learning. They will announce early december what the plan is for next semester. I have reached out to the district to see if we can do an interview just get a little bit more details havent heard back quite yet. For now live in san jose Sarah Stinson kron 4 news okay. Thank you sir, and Santa Clara County Health Officials announced a new enhanced testing order so that its easier for people to get tested and get covered by insurance. As an essential worker this new order expands the definition of essential workers to extend not just a health professionals, but to people who are working as teachers are in Grocery Stores and that type of it also will ensure that they get tested quicker and get the results back sooner. We are grateful that the county has announced an order that is going to demolish the labyrinth that too many of our residents have found themselves when theyre trying to find their way to get to testing. County Officials Say its also mandatory so there are violations that will come with fines and other penalties. President trump. Claims that a vaccine is the key to getting out of this pandemic and yes that is a major component, but the cdc says that until we get a vaccine to the population, its more important people now where masks across the board. An Infectious Disease expert at ucsf agrees with the cdc kron fours gayle ong reports on that. The Berkeley City Council members approved the mask fine after seeing an increase of covid19 cases in july and august this as the cdc director stresses the importance of wearing a mask and this face mask. Is more guaranteed to protect me against covid then when i take a covid vaccine. Wednesday cdc director doctor Robert Redfield says a covid19 vaccine would not be available for another 9 to 12 months ucsf Infectious Disease doctor Monica Gandhi agrees number one is to take a while for the vaccine and number 2 were to see the vaccine is but we know these protected doctor gandhi studied maskwearing early on looking at data from japans diamond princess cruise ship where more than 700 people on board came down with covid19. Before maskwearing was suggested so were actually populating the mass school. Multiple components of the response one is transmission and made by reducing the amount of cars that get you get in it may reduce the severity and to seize tuesday night the city of berkeley approved an ordinance to fine people not wearing a mask in public or focus is not on criminalizing people its making sure people get the right track is obviously been shown to be one of most effective way to stop this road and season its a very cheap and easy way to save a life district 4 Council Member Kate Harrison says city workers will be keeping an eye on large gatherings of 12 or more at parks parties and student events we had cal students come back about 3 weeks ago and at present the 190 students have been found positive. And i dont want them to spread their fellow students, their parents and grandparents and neighbors and certainly not the rest of our community other bay area counties like santa clara napa and marine have already approved similar measures maskwearing is already required in berkeley. Now a 100 fine used as enother tool to prevent the spread of covid19 the money gathered from fines will buy mass for low income people in berkeley gayle ong kron 4 news. Well this morning President Trump is contradicting the statement by the cdc director Robert Redfield that you just saw there in the last story that masks are more effective in vaccines. Take a listen. I mean everyone is not more effective by any means that a vaccine and i called him about that those with the 2 things i take skus with it. And i believe that if you ask him. He would. Probably say that he didnt understand the question. So redfield also said the vaccines again wont be ready and available to the public until the middle to latter half of next year the president also disputes that claim saying the vaccines will be ready to go in a couple of months at the latest, however, the vast majority of medical experts. I dont understand where that numbers coming from. It is the time as the flu season looms and east bay doctor now suggesting people who come in for a vaccine for the flu also get tested for coronavirus doctor front says that its possible to suffer from both since they both share many of the same symptoms and so hes working now to acquire more covid tests in flu vaccine so that when a person does come into their clinics, hell be able to test them book for both of them at the same time. Were trying to prepare this is you know this is a long haul where where were going to be in all to the winner. So were trying preparer sites to be able to be indoors when the weather required to.

Halloween is pretty close cant believe that fall is next week and its going to be different this year for sure if the kids go trick or treating at all. In Contra Costa County Health Officials say that the traditional trick or treating, isnt a good idea. And neither are haunted houses or big parties they are that. The traditional trick or is a kind of risky during the covid youve got small children gathered together in front porches and front front touching on high touch surfaces like door knobs and door bells. Candy candy jars. And so that all those type of activities pose a risk for covid. County Health Officials say that its not like youre going to get a fine for trick or treating because theres no local or state ban but they are still discouraging everybody from doing that.

This is a problem that we face on a daytoday basis. We have serious risk in terms of wildfire and wildfire season is not a couple months that like it used to be its at least half the year now. Signage has been posted at the 9 turnouts reminding the public of course that the area is off limits between 9 oclock at night and 6 in the morning. Well heres a quick live look outside weve got our camera on the market there at San Francisco and boy you can certainly see that fog. And low overhead. But there is a little bit of sunshine beginning to work its way through well get another update from john a in 42 and the remnants of Hurricane Sally are now moving north from the gulf coast and leaving behind a wake a flooding and destruction of florida and alabama sally hit the gulf coast yesterday morning as a category 2 105 Miles Per Hour rain in the feet not in the inches and hundreds of people had to be rescued more than a half a million homes and businesses are without power.

So far the death toll, one person in alabama has died and there was another person there whos missing. All right. Well, lets get to our weather obviously nothing as severe. Here we just have a little bit of fog and some smoke to get through, but actually smoked out that bad john yeah weve seen improvements thankfully because we had those you know multiple weeks of very very smoky conditions will take the foggy day above that in fact not a whole lot of fog lingering for the north bay, its really starting to burn off up in the Marin Headlands but you are looking at it over your bridges and i know thats been causing some issues some of our hill top spearing through what is actually a relatively thin but pretty dense marine layer once youre down in that as far as air quality goes. Yeah, were looking a whole lot better good conditions all across the bay area. You can notice some of the yellow orange and very poor conditions on the right side of your screen up towards the sierra nevada. If youre heading out that direction air quality is definitely not kept up with their improvements that weve had back here a little closer to the coastline. Were sweeping winds have been pushing through pretty consistently the past few days and well continue ahead of this advancing front keeping air nice and clean and conditions actually a little bit cooler as we work our way into tomorrow and saturday even good news for the Pacific Northwest are getting some rainfall from this advancing system as for the bay area were going to pick up the nice breeze in the cooler air from it. But were not going to be seeing that rainfall you have to head north of ukiah up in the humboldt and del norte counties before you really start to see any sort of consistent rainfall. Were going to see a few clouds come tomorrow and a noticeable breeze, a cool breeze from the coast going to sweep through a little bit further inland help our Central Valley locations out with their quality of it before that wind relaxes into sunday and haze likely returns even into the bay to close out the weekend. Winds may be calm this morning but look at how they pick up later on today tonight into tomorrow morning do expect a breezy start as that cooler air pushes in. Todays daytime highs, 60s and 70s for San Francisco and our other coastal locations much like yesterday will be back to the 70s and 80s for daytime highs elsewhere little bit cooler only one to 2 degrees down from yesterdays highs though so pretty much a repeat of the good air quality we had the abundant sunshine. We had yesterday once the cleared out and then of course that warm but not too warm of temperatures 70s 80s for the north bay to with the vacaville are close to spot to 90 degrees. Toledo at 79 sandra fell more than 85 degrees. Tomorrows temperatures will be a bit cooler as i mentioned as will be the case on saturday sunday and monday the easier last 2 days of summer and were going out pretty like summer should with highs a little bit warmer and hazy skies returning for sunday and monday likely tuesday will cool back down just a few degrees to kick off all. Robin. Thank you john traffic, not so bad heading from the east bay to the north bay we have a little bit of a backup at the richmond sandra fell. Already gone so its going to be a great trip into the north bay, its only 8 minutes off to one on one. Now here at the favorites, lots of often on slowing this morning into San Francisco, youre backed up to west grand the stalled west of Treasure Island clear but a little sluggish on the suspension.

So if you want to avoid it altogether stay away from the nimitz take 5. 80 instead, ill let you know when they finally have it out of the way darya back to you thank you robin is 8 46 and in the south bay, San Jose Police are looking for the person behind a deadly shooting that happened tuesday night. Around 10 00pm at south 8th and reed streets in san jose. 2 men were shot and killed and 4 other people were hurt. And this was the scene yesterday morning as we brought you this live here on the kron 4 morning news showing a heavy Police Presence and the investigation. The victims were all attending an outdoor candlelight vigil when they were shot, but the police dont know yet if that vigil was somehow related to the shooting. Still interviewing witnesses were still trying to connect all the dots obviously if we do. We have more information share we will certainly put that out but this investigation is still very active. Were still talking to witnesses. And they still havent told us yet if there was another 911 call that happened earlier in the night from the same area, but theyre not saying yet if those 2 calls were related. Well developing story out of the north bay where we have leaders with the delay, a police union saying that they want to work with the city and the police chief on reforms to improve the department this comes after recent fatal shootings at the hands of delay hope police kron fours Jonathan Mccall has more. The boy told Police Officers Association Says officers are open and ready to implement reform changes here in the city. But the citys top cop says its not what hes heard so the bullet hole Police Officers Association Says its officers are looking for a new chapter for the city and the department we see it as an opportunity i move the department forward in a new direction, Peter Hoffman is a Union Representative and says that officers. Are on board with the idea of having new and innovative policing policies in order to improve the Department Position us as somehow an impediment to change and reform. And to the contrary. We have reached out on numerous occasions to get the ball rolling on these reforms offices of recommendations from 2 City Commission studies are on the table. But so far none of them have been implemented. He says as crime rises across the city, the biggest need right now more officers on the streets.
