Little less windy, too, which does add up to a better feel to it out there. Already starting this morning off with conditions that are big clear than they were yesterday. Thats the first noticeable Change Today as compared to where we were for your wednesday. Half moon, bay skies. Look pretty clear overall few clouds overhead, but certainly no fog out there and fog isnt an issue that were having really anywhere across the bay this morning. 40s and 50s for most of our current temps with Hayward And Oakland right at 50 degrees. I would be to fremont san mateo and San Francisco in the upper 40s. While some 30s in the North Bay. So you do want that extra earlier this morning. Were starting off the morning. Cold or but guess what . Were going to be finishing this day with conditions a little bit warmer than they were yesterday. As far as traffic goes we are looking roadways still on the light side for but we do have the hot spot that. Yeah, we have that hot spot. Remember yesterday we started the morning with a hot spot on the peninsula. Now out in sandra fell with this one. This is at freight is parkway out the air. So we have this northbound one. Oh, one Phrase Parkway in san rafale. The main issue that were looking at is to see if this is going to affect the richmond. Sandra fell all right.

So another big story that were following this morning is the fact that in the East Bay we have parts of Alameda County now expanding its Vaccine Eligibility to anyone over the age of 16 getting a jump on things that this is only for certain Zip Codes. Lets go to kron. Fours will tran live in Alameda County with the details. Good morning. Will. Good morning, james. And ari, i mean, hayward off of grove way. And the reason why i am here. This is one of the Zip Codes that they chose. And the reason why they chose certain Zip Codes. These are the areas that they believe according to the state and the county. These are the areas that they believe are hardest hit. But dont worry, its going open up to all 16 year olds in a few days for now. So they just giving the Zip Codes a Head Start just like in contra, Costa County where right now theyre doing 16 years and older in Alameda County. If you have underlying health conditions and 16 years old. You were able to get your shot before this. But now they are giving people Head Start just so you can get vaccinated because they want to get the hardest hit groups out of the way. First, again, about 8 days from now. All 16 year olds within the state. That is the goal to get vaccinated. Take a look at your screen. Too many Zip Codes to mention, we will try to knock out a few just for you right now, theres 9, 4, 6, 0, 1, 9, 4, 6, 9, 4, 6. 06, 9, 4, 6, to one 9, 4, 5, 4, 5, to the Right And Bottom of your screen. And then theres 9, 4, 5, 7, 7, dont worry about it. We posted all of the Zip Codes on our website at kron 4 dot com. So you will know exactly whats going on. Yes, im in hayward does cover parts of san leandro. Keep in mind, just because i mean, hayward recently enjoyed does not mean that all of hayward is covered and we all know this.

James and ari, a remember they were scrambling to get their vaccines. And now they are opening it up earlier than expected. So sooner. Then later, james, im sure most of us will look at each other and go. Why didnt you get your shot. Back to you. All right. Well, its all beginning to happen now for a lot of people. Thanks a lot. Well. Well, the number of people getting shots is going up, which is good news as Vaccine Eligibility is expanding the number of doses in california is to receive going forward, though, unfortunately looks like its going to be declining. According to the latest state numbers from the Health Department Weve received so far. 2. 4 million doses this week. However, look next week that drops to just 2 million. And then it drops to below 2 million the week after that, the drop, were told is being attributed to fewer doses of johnson and Johnsons Vaccine going out. And when it comes to coronavirus now in the u. S. Its the Uk Variant, the super spreader strain. That is the most dominant spreading around the u. S. Right now. Though, the vaccinations do help as they are picking up. Its believed that this variant is 70 more infectious. 64 more deadly than the other strains. Meantime, lets take a look at the latest data that shows 5 states account for nearly half of all new infections in the u. S. You want to know. She wants new york, michigan, florida, pennsylvania and new jersey. They have. They have come for about almost 200,000 cases over the last 7 days and thats a 44 of the nations new infections.

You go out, you got that means store. Not getting together in congregate settings. Making sure that when you are and your people, you maintain social distance. Medical experts say those who were vaccinated have a little more leeway. But we still even if youve got your shot, you need to be cautious. On the peninsula. Daly city police now investigating what led to one of their officers shooting and killing a man. It happened Yesterday Afternoon on antic avenue, which is right near Union Pero SerraBoulevard And West lake avenue. Were told the officer approached people in a car and eventually fired their weapon hitting and killing a man at some point an officer was also hurt but is expected to be okay. Unclear exactly what led up to that shooting. But again, well keep you informed as that investigation develops in the south bay. The family of a man shot and killed by San Jose police has now filed a lawsuit against the city. This lawsuit claims that the deadly shooting in january was unjustified because the man was unarmed. Kron fours. Dan thorn takes a closer look. The lawsuit also says that police did not try to de escalate the situation when they went after tovar instead of trying to arrest him. They intended to kill him and that for the family says that he was denied his day in court and the officers that are responsible should have to pay for what theyve done. In graphic Bodycam Video shared by San Jose police last month. Officers are seen Opening Fire on a wanted murder not fired Shots Fire such suspect on the second floor. David tovar was running along the second Story Balcony of the Villa Fairlane Apartment complex on January 21st when he was killed. This was not a mission to bring somebody to court of justice. This was a mission to execute some more and thats what you saw dante pointer is a civil Rights Attorney representing tow Bars Family in a lawsuit against the city of San Jose. The suit claims the officers while using Militarystyle Assault rifles shot tovar while he was presenting no threat to anyone. A San JosePolice Spokesperson says Tow Bar was actually reaching for his waistband when officers shot him. But tovar was found to be unarmed following the shooting. This isnt a situation where police are dealing with someone whos whos taken hostage years or pointed the weapon animal has even fired a weapon. Now. This is this is the type of police. Situation that should result in everyone getting a chance to have their day in court the responding officers were said to have been on high alert when pursuing toll far because of his violent criminal history. The 27 yearold was being investigated by police in Gilroy Morgan HillSan Jose and the chp. After he was linked to a number of robberies and 2 shootings, including a murder. The lawsuit demands the officers involved in the fatal shooting be arrested and prosecuted the community and the state has demanded. That officers not use deadly force unless it is necessary. It was clearly not necessary when you have an unarmed man running away from officers who was shot in the back. Pointer says the officers also put people living at the Apartment Complex at risk by shooting at tovar, the San JosePolice Department is not commenting on this lawsuit reporting in San Jose.
