To be getting done. Now outside this morning temperatures not quite as cold as yesterday was at least for most of us as suppose looking pretty clear we do have low lying cloud cover thats pushing right above the bay shouldnt be interrupting your commute your errands whatever you may be doing today a look at radar shows a very quiet picture across the bay right now, but if we zoom out across the region. You do see some shower activity to our north. Its actually remain pretty minimal so far this morning but watch out for some wet spots if youre heading north towards the oregon border. Thats about the only problem areas weve got in the state right now so your region is looking calm and especially the bay temperatures are in the 40s and 50s for most of the bay the south bay bayside cities the east bay cities all that way while napa nevado in santa rosa are the exceptions to those 40s and 50s because youre actually down in the 30s this morning a lot like yesterday so keep the jackets on hand if youre getting outside Early Morning if youre waiting till a little bit later today youll be back to the 60s to enjoy. Robin. Thank you john checking in on the traffic we are taking a look at your commute around the bay area this morning which is light and quiet and hot spot free so far a live look at 92 just a little busy lee to hayward but overall an easy trip of 12 minutes off to the peninsula, the bay bridge toll plaza remains trouble free the drive into San Francisco, not a problem so come on in were at 8 minutes and growing to make it over to fremont street and theyre just checking in on some numbers around the bay area they look really get highway 4 at the limit 6. 80 south nice and smooth. No problems for the nimitz or one oh one easy commute here from san jose to menlo park well check more numbers coming up james darya the big story today the day before thanksgiving is will people travel right. They are predicted to use cars more than planes but you can see this is a life flight so we do have obviously a lot of activity going on the question as daryn mentioned will be how many of those folks are going to be traveling. Beyond their immediate household for thanksgiving holiday. We saw will tran was out of sfo last week right and it was basically a ghost town out front them but todays expected to be one of the busiest days at sfo right so lets move the prompter and well tell you where were going now were going go to sara stinson this time shes it file. Well see what shes got there so far have you seen anybody yet. See lots of cars driving towards departure area and this is going to be a busy day is expected to be a busy day despite that we know theres a second wave going on across our country and right here in the bay area people have still gone against what the cdc and local Health Officials have advised which is to not travel to see your family and friends and to stay put celebrating thanksgiving only with the people you live with so people are kind of thrown out the window and traveling anyways and thats not recommended you can see in the video people to get pretty prepared to fly with masks gloves Hand Sanitizer and other ppe but is that really enough when the airport gets packed you have to be the judge know a cellphone has done a lot to try and keep people safe. With markers telling people where and how to social distance plexiglas at the counters in Hand Sanitizer will say though people tend to throw social distancing out the window when they get to security thats what i have experienced personally while traveling during the pandemic that is not comfortable. Ive even had to say and can you give me some space people respecting and her aunt, public Health Officials have advised against Holiday Travel telling people stay home, however, that doesnt seem to stop people traveling to another area and seeing family members this thanksgiving puts everyone at high risk so many people are traveling, its got to the point where sfo has sold out of covid tests the ones where people get the day of travel. Theres an alternative though well tell you a drivethru testing site at united smeaton center. But they do not have rapid test those costs a 105 with results in 48 hours that doesnt really help you for trying to make it in time for thanksgiving. Once you get to your destination. It will be interesting to see if people you know quarantine stay at hotel or say jump right in and stay with family again not recommended you really want to protect your family members during this time where coronavirus is spreading rapidly can again second wave of the pandemic well be live here at sfo to show you exactly how people are behaving how they feel and how many people are traveling 24 hours before thanksgiving. Reporting live at sfo Sarah Stinson kron 4 news look for the college kids. My daughter came back last night as simple as a ghost town jfk was a ghost town.
