Transcripts For KNTV NBC Bay Area News At 6 20240711

About its new travel quarantine, which was just rereclarified again by the county in the past hour. Nbc bay areas robert handa was at todays announcement and why its so crucial to get moving on it. Reporter the race is on as the Public Health Department Works to keep its vaccine and quarantine plans on track, even as covid cases surge. Whether its a vaccine or a travel quarantine, its all about trying to stop what Public Health calls a chain of transmission. The latest numbers show parts of the south bay running out of hospital beds. We are especially concerned because none of the hospitals serving south county and East San Jose had more than five icu beds available as of yesterday. Reporter the downy submitted its vaccine plan to the state detailing how it will distribute and administer vaccinations. There are some difficult logistics, including that necessary ultra cold Storage Units are now only being set up to store the vaccines at 70 degrees below zero. Dr. Jennifer tong says theyre making good progress. Literally before coming to the press conference, i was on the phone with a group that was telling me that freezers had arrived on a truck as of yesterday. Multiple freezers have been installed. Reporter county Council James williams said it is still monitoring the effectiveness of the travel quarantine that started monday, mandating people that travel in from 150 miles from the county line must isolate for 14 days upon return. Williams said the 150mile distance was chosen to incorporate areas where locals often travel, such as the Central Valley and southern california. It is measured as the crow flies, the distance is measured by the raids you of 150 miles, regardless of how long it takes to drive that distance, and voluntary compliance is still the key. But just like our expect takes around face coverings, just like our expectations around social distancing, we absolutely need to all do our collective part. Reporter the Public Health Department Says it plans to give the Front Line Health Workers the vaccines first, but how many vaccines it will get and when is still evolving. In san jose, robert handa, nbc bay area news. Okay. As robert just mentioned, in the past hour, Santa Clara County reclarified its travel order again. Its 150 miles from point to point, as the crow flies, so not driving distance. This is what it means for your weekend plans. Here is Santa Clara County in yellow right there. Now, if you go up north, napa, sacramento, youre fine. Take a look at lake tahoe. South lake tahoe is just under 150 miles, but if you want to go to incline village, which is the nevada side of north shore, thats too far. In the Central Valley, fresno is okay at 107 miles and down south, fine at 132 miles. If you want to go to santa maria, just over the limit, 155 miles. Raj . Okay, janelle. The buzz continues in San Francisco. Its all about the mayor, mayor breed. Is she practicing what she preaches . This compasses es as the mayor dinner while urging others to avoid these large gatherings. Whats the latest here . Heres nbc bay areas christie smith. Reporter its a hot topic in San Francisco after the mayor chose to visit the exclusive French Laundry restaurant. A small, openair family Birthday Dinner for a friend. There were eight people including the mayor, but some folks in the city dont like it. I feel its a little bit hypocritical. Reporter mayor breeds Office Points out that at the time San Francisco was in the yellow tier, napa county was in the orange tier. Both allowed indoor and outdoor dining. Still, people noticed its the same posh restaurant where Governor Newsom dined the night before with multiple people from outside his household. The optics are bad. It looks bad because i guess if theyre, you know, setting this example and telling us all that we need to crack down, which i totally agree with, that they ought to lead by example. My first reaction wasnt censure, it was actually empathy, because it really shows how hard it is for all of us. Reporter dr. Peter chin long, an Infectious Disease expert at ucsf says his overall measure is not to think politics, but what we can do to stay protected. It is what it is. We are all human. And lets move on. Lets focus on the biology. Lets focus on the science. We know what to do. Lets stick with it. Reporter the Mayors Office says she has safely supported city restaurants, adding shes always been cautious when she is dining out. Now with cases rising and bay area counties moving back into the purple tier, shes once again limiting her actions and encouraging all san franciscans to do the same. In San Francisco, christie smith, nbc bay area news. Lets go to the east bay now. A covid outbreak excuse me, in south bay now. Covid outbreak at Juvenile Hall in Santa Clara County. Its happening above juvenile half in san jose and james ranch in morgan hill. The county tells us nine juveniles and four Staff Members tested positive. The juvenile center tested all detainees who came in contact with the positive individuals. The close contacts are also undergoing a 14day quarantine. Its the first outbreak in Santa Clara County juvenile system since the pandemic started. The sheriff Sacramento County is in quarantine tonight with his family. Sheriff scott jones developed covid symptoms last week. Apparently he was exposed at work. Jones originally made news for this criticisms of the guidelines and refusal to enforce a curfew. He has since tested positive and said hes almost recovered from mild symptoms including fever, congestion and headache. December could be an especially deadly month not just because of covid, though. The American Red Cross says its blood supply is critically low and donors have been nearly impossible to find during this pandemic. Heres nbc bay areas anousha rasta. A couple of evenings ago i received a call from a gentleman from the red cross who informed me that there was a blood shortage. Reporter joe of san jose is a longtime blood donor. He says he was surprised to hear just how urgently the red cross needs donations right now. Especially for his blood type, apositive. He informed me that as soon as i donate and the blood is cleared and tested, that it could be going to someone of need within 24 hours. Which really just alarmed me that, gosh, i cant believe were we have that much of a shortage right now. Reporter a spokesperson for the American Red Cross tells us it takes two to three days from the time of donation for blood, platelets or plasma to be tested and made available to hospitals. The organizations and other major Blood Centers in the country have reported a huge drop in Blood Donations during the pandemic. Since both covid19 and natural disasters like wildfires in california have forced them to cancel blood drives. Now the red cross is also asking people for a different kind of Blood Donation. They need people who have been infected but have recovered from covid19. The organization explains convalescent plasma is a type of Blood Donation collected from covid19 survivors that have antibodies that may help patient bhos who are actively fighting the virus. Donors like joe toldis the red cross followed all covid safety guidelines when he went to donate blood and encourages others to roll up their sleeves as well. You should feel extremely safe going into an American Red Cross facility. They are taking all the necessary precautions to ensure both your safety, as well as the safety of their workers. Amidst this time. Knowing that the blood that youre giving is going to be giving essentially the gift of life to someone really means a lot. Reporter anousha rasta, nbc bay area news. Up next here at 6 00, coronavirus cases in a bay area classroom. How its fuelling the debate over bringing students back to campus. Plus, we investigated and he apologized. Now mayor sam laiccardo is talking to us. He explains his decision to have thanksgiving with a big family against his own advice. Im chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. We desperately need some rainfall. Ill talk about our dry pattern and the link to la nina and a look at our sevenday forecast coming up in about seven minutes. Concern tonight in the east bay over a covid outbreak at school just days after students and teachers returned to class. It happened in a San Ramon School district special education class. Nbc bay areas Jodi Hernandez has the story from danville where the outbreak is raising eyebrows as the district plans to open even more classes after christmas. Reporter this high school in danville is all set up to keep kids safe. Theyve got plexiglass and hand sanitizer, but when they reopened their classrooms last month, a handful of teachers and developmentally disabled students tested positive for covid19. The sad part for me is my class and myself, we were all guinea pigs. Guinea pigs on a system that did not work. In our special ed classroom. Reporter autism specialist jan jimenez says shes disappointed and upset. Jimenez returned to her classroom on november 17th as part of her School Districts phase ii reopening only to get covid19 along with nearly all of her students and fellow classroom staff. Eight people in all. She ended up giving it to her husband. Theyre still recovering. My husband and i are both miserable with the symptoms, which has ranged from fever, shortness of breath, body ache, terrible, terrible headache, fatigue. Reporter jimenez says her special ed students are unable to wear masks. She said some seemed visibly sick, and sure enough, those suspicions were confirmed. We apologize that this has happened. We are working hard to ensure that it doesnt happen again. Reporter San Ramon Valley district superintendent john malloy said the district has learned from the incident. He said special ed teachers will be given medicalgrade ppe, including n95 masks and the district is making sure all staff and parents understand the safety protocols. This is emerging, and when we do have a circumstance like this, which were very sorry about, we have to learn from it, and we are. Reporter the district is now gearing up to welcome 10,000 kids back to its 36 campuses on january 5th. They say theyre working handinhand with the health department. Jimenez says shes nervous. She urges parents to do their part as well. Never, ever send your student to school. If you have even the slightest inkling that there is a concern that they might be sick. Reporter in contracosta county, Jodi Hernandez, nbc bay area news. Something for us all to think about there. As we hit record numbers statewide and across the bay area, are we headed to another statewide lockdown. Lets bring in the Infectious Disease expert at ucsf. Well do it the Old Fashioned way with your phone. What concerns you the most about these next few weeks here, doctor . You know, it is true that were in a surge. Its true that we are having increased case rates. And increased hospitalizations. But i and i think it has to do with the seasonality of the virus as well as people being together more. Its not just this is actually what we see with seasonal viruses. We see these increases in cases, and we also see that its become more transmissible with time because of the newtation. So this is definitely happening and its been a concerning time. Dr. Gandhi, the vaccine is almost here. Is there a false optimism, though, that this will be all be over by next february or march . I dont think its a false optimism. February or march is very, very soon. So its not going to be over by then, but it isnt its true that this will be over. And the most important thing i want to say is that these vaccines are incredible. Their efficacy is so high. No safety concerns so far. Just got approved in the uk, the pfizer vaccine. They are going to be rolled out and life will get back to normal. Until then, if we can just hold on with these nonpharmaceutical interventions, this masking, distancing, ventilation, hand hygiene, everything that were doing, and february and march is early, but we will get back to normal. Think about it more in the summer. We are almost there. Doctor, how much damage to our Mental Health, especially for teenagers and people who have just lost their jobs. I mean, i think that that is were going to be writing about this for years about the terrible impacts of isolation, loneliness, and especially teenagers and kids who dont, cant have been in and out of school. It has been a terrible time and i think we dont message enough it will be over. I wouldnt have said that a month ago before the vaccine came out with this degree of efficacy. It would have been like, im not sure, im not sure. This is wonderful. These vaccines are amazing. They are going to work. We are going to get there and you will have people will have a normal life. I dont know how to explain it. Its gonna happen. We asked you this back seven months ago. Ill ask it again as we wrap it up. Are the doctors and Health Care Workers specifically at ucsf doing okay . There is some burnout there. We have been more spared in the bay area than anywhere else. We definitely have increased hospitalizations, but its not to the levels that you see in the midwest, not to the levels in the dakotas. Were lucky that way, but, yes, people are tired. They are completely tired. We snap at each other a little more readily. People are a little more irritated and cant wait until this time is over. Thank you for your candid responses and wish you the best. Thank you, doctor. Thanks so much, doctor. Well, lets check in with chief meteorologist jeff ranieri now. Jeff, weve had lots of cold mornings and sunshine and no sign of rain. Yes, and, you know, its really made it pleasant to be outside and getting some of that fresh air, even though we definitely need that rainfall. So ill take you outside to that live highdef information Sky Cam Network right now. We do have great visibility here. No fog as of yet, but do i think tomorrow morning with temperatures dropping down to the 30s and 40s thats gonna help some areas of fog to develop. Then by tomorrow, we get some more sun back for the afternoon, and some moderate air quality. So i think were looking good here through thursday. And ahead breezy conditions sunday and monday, likely increasing our fire danger. For tomorrow morning, start off with chilly morning temperatures, take your jacket. And then through the day, we dont see much differences here as you move around through the bay area. Lots of mid to upper 60s for the daytime highs. My extended forecast stays dry over the next seven days with a chance of a little bit of wind here, 10 to 25 Miles Per Hour in the hills by sunday and monday. I want to focus real fast, though, on the larger problem, and thats the lack of rain. Now, we have la nina developing. When you see la nina phase developing like we have right now, this generally brings an area of High Pressure that can keep the storm track off to the north. That is exactly what were seeing now. What we need is that storm track to lower a little bit in order to give us these rain chances. Ill talk more about those rain chances ahead and how long we may have to wait. Well check in with my viewer mail and well share a really Beautiful Tree photo. Ive been asking for those. Lucys over here. Weve got a jampacked hit coming up in about 25 minutes. So see you then. It is lucy wednesday. Well see you shortly. Thanks, jeff. Well, much more to come in the next 40 minutes. Stay home for the holidays. Warnings from the cdc. Also no longer 14 days. The agency reduces the number of days you should quarantine if youve been exposed. Plus, where did all that ppp loan money go . We investigate and track down who benefitted the most from the government program. And what does san joses mayor have to say for himself . Our Investigative Unit sits down oneonone with the mayor following his thanksgiving day dinner that was not covid friendly. Well be back in three minutes. In just a few months, weve learned a lot more about the covid19 virus. Its real. And its dangerous. So, on behalf of all of us working on the front lines, please take it seriously. And while we dont yet have a cure or a vaccine, we do know how to keep you and your loved ones safe. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Stay six feet apart. Do your best to stay out of crowded spaces. And get a flu shot, its even more important this year. We can do this. If we do it together. We have the power to harness californias Abundant Solar and wind energy, but its not available all day long. Use less energy from 4 to 9 pm for a cleaner california. It continues to grow. A new turn in that public corruption and bribery scandal in San Francisco. City administrator naomi kelly is taking a leave from her job. Naomi kelly is the wife of harlan kelly who was the general manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities commission. Hes already stepped down from his job after federal prosecutors accused him of trading Insider Information for a paid vacation. Today naomi says she needs to help him and her family get through this tough time. She is not accused of any crime, and city supervisor matt haney says taking a leave from her job is the right thing to do. We cannot have a situation where that individual is either under investigation or, you know, hugely distracted. So i do think for restoring the public trust and for her own personal wellbeing, makes sense for her to take a leave of absence. A key witness in the corruption investigation who is cooperating with the fbi claims that he paid for harlan kelly to vacation in china in exchange for getting Insider Information to help him bid public works jobs. Naomi kelly insists her husband paid for that trip. Well, the pandemic has hit so many people so hard, and now one south Bay Community is doing what it can do to help. Staff and volunteers at Sunnyvale Community Service hosted a drivethrough distribution today. They handed out target gift cards and food for families in need. Giving these families here in sunnyvale who were struggling the chance to pick gifts and groceries that they want and need, and to make sure that they have a better holiday, even though a lot of them are really suffering right now. Its affecting so many people. The Community Services center regularly helps more than 2,000 people in need. Making it in the bay. This is our series about the challenges of living here. Its still a renters market in San Francisco. The pandemic has increased vacancies, and thats driving down rent. According to apartmentlist. Com in november, the month over month decline was 3. 4 . With an average price of more than 2,000 bucks for a onebedroom apartment and 2,300 bucks for a twobedroom. Its unclear if prices will rebound next spring, but analysts say major factors include businesses reopening and the anticipated rollout of the vaccines. Well, the homeless issue near apple headquarters in cupertino continues. Today the dismantling of a homeless encampment disrupted traffic there in cupertino. Growing concern about the wolf road encampment accelerated in august when a member was hit and killed in a hitandrun accident. This was right in Abode Services is arranging motel rooms and temporary housing for those who qualify. The city of cupertino is establishing a safer, temporary outdoor site for others with covid amenities, including portable restrooms and handwashing stations. Outreach ser Outreach Services are helping with Mental Health and employment. A dire warning from the cdc about your Holiday Travel plans. The agency also changingis guidelines when it comes to how long you should yaurnt. Also, who got those ppp loans and how much did they get . We investigate and track down the money. Right now at 6 30, the cdc is changing its guidance on how to quarantine. Instead of the standard 14 days for people who may have been exposed, the cdc says you only need to isolate for ten days and if you test negative, you can shorten that to seven days. Expected that reduction in quarantine time, along with urging everyone to avoid traveling altogether for the holidays. Well, so how are bay area travellers handling all this news . We sent nbc bay area scott budman to sfo to find out. Reporter yeah, most travellers here we spoke to say theyll take the updated guidelines seriously, telling us the recent spike in covid cases has made them rethink Holiday Travel plans. Admittedly, if youre already here at the airport, you have a reason to travel. I mean, just for me personally, like, im from new york, and my parents live here. And im going to come here and see them for christmas, too, and im not going to selfquarantine the whole time. Not really because were working from home anyway. So we have to go back home and work. Reporter but the new cdc warnings along with the recent spike in covid cases have hit home for many travellers. I think that probably would change my plans. If i was, you know, told i had to quarantine when i get back. And its probably safer to stay home anyway. Reporter and as for shortening the amount of posttravel quarantine time, most dont think it changes much. They tell us theyll take the risk but try to stay safe. I think if youre traveling by car 150 miles and youre social distancing, i dont think thats necessary, personally. But, again, i dont make the rules. Reporter if you are going to travel, despite the warnings, the cdc recommends getting tested both three days before and after your trip and avoiding nonessential travel for seven days afterwards. Add sfo, scott budman, nbc bay area news. A dubious milestone today in california. Over 20,000 new cases confirmed. That blows away the states previous records. This graph shows the daily number of new cases across the state. Check out during the july surge. On july 21st, we had a record 12,800 cases, and then look, tick downwards and then this huge uptick in the month of november. And then today the state confirming a record 20,759 cases in one day. It shows us just how serious this winter surge is becoming. And one bay area county in the midst of all of this has managed to stay in the red tier. Were talking about marin county. Take a look at this map. Its surrounded by all the other counties in purple. Its the only county in red. So how has it managed to stay out of purple . County Health Officers say its a combination of factors. First, the county is more suburban than urban. Therefore its easy to social distance and work from home. Second, marin county has been ranked as healthiest county in california several times over the past decade and Health Officers believe people who live in marin county are taking the pandemic very seriously as a whole. Thirdly, the county has the oldest population in the bay area, and most of them are just staying home to stay safe, but the countys red tier status could be shortlived. Health Officials Say they could move into the purple tier next week. Yeah nell, lets talk about some money here. Were Small Businesses shut out. Tonight were getting a complete look at who got a big chunk of that 2 trillion federal stimulus package over last summer. Our Investigative Team got some answers thanks to a lawsuit filed by several news organizations, including nbc. Senior investigator Stephen Stoch follows the money. Reporter the biggest part of this stimulus package went to help Small Businesses survive this pandemic. Its called the ppp, short for paycheck protection program. More than 522 million of your tax dollars went to help more than 5 million businesses nationwide. From robert a. Bofman construction in santa clara to Quantum Corporation in san jose, from Shoe Palace Corporation in morgan hill to United Mechanical in san jose. 24 Different Companies in the bay area got a 10 million loan each from the Small Business administration. To help them pay workers and stay in business. The maximum single amount distributed under the sba Program Given to about 5,000 companies nationwide. The smallest amount given, 1. What this tells us is a little more detail on exactly how much each company got. Reporter mark goldwine is Senior Vice President of policy at the committee for a responsible federal budget or cfrb, based in washington, d. C. We werent trying to pick winners and losers based on which industries are best for the economy or most important for the recovery. Reporter the for the most part, the recipients fell into a few specific categories, construction companies, medical practices and restaurants. Restaurant chains such as black angus steakhouses, lazy dog restaurants, rubios restaurants and kings seafood here in california all got the 10 million maximum ppp loan. It shouldnt be a surprise to us that restaurants were a big recipient. For two reasons. First of all, there are tons and tons of restaurants that are independently owned. But secondly, theyve been the most affected. Reporter local art institutions and universities also got large loans. Like the San Francisco opera association. Californias academy of sciences. And the San Francisco symphony. As well as the citys Ballet Association and Golden Gate University and the museum of modern art. We can argue whether the program was designed right, whether we should be having such a universal reach. But this was the goal of the program as it was stated. Reporter whether or not all of this money is enough to keep Small Businesses open is currently the debate going on in washington. About whether to pass yet another massive spending bill. Im stephen stock, nbc bay area news. President trump tonight is threatening congress over big tech. He says hell veto a Popular Defense bill unless lawmakers clamp down on social media giants, which he claims are biased against him. Meanwhile, in delaware today, president elect joe biden resumed his messaging on the economy, hosting a virtual roundtable about the pandemic with struggling workers and Small Business owners. President trump speaking at a White House Christmas Party Last Night hinted at entering the 2024 race. Its been an amazing four years. Were trying to do another four years, otherwise ill see you in four years. Sources tell nbc news the president may skip bidens inauguration ceremony to instead kick off his own 2024 campaign. Multiple sources also tell nbc news hes considering preempti preemptive pardons for his three eldest children and soninlaw and other close associates. He says he feels embattled but does not believe he or his family have done anything illegal. Up next, they boarded a fly to sfo knowing they had the coronavirus. The punishment now for this couple from hawaii. Frustrations and resentment about officials breaking covid19 guidelines. Were hearing directly from San Francisco mayor sam liccardo about his thanksgiving dinner that prompted him to give a public apology. Our Senior Investigative reporter broke the story that mayor liccardo had hat holiday dinner in saratoga with family from five different households. As you may know by now, state gatherings are banned from more than three households. I know the rules are hard to follow because i broke them, and i failed at following them. Did you not know about the state Health Guidelines or did you know and just decide to break them anyway . I rationalized and believed, well, if im outdoors and only with Seven Members of my family and were all sitting at three different tables and spatially distanced and all wearing masks, i rationalized it would be fine. And what i should have done is looked at the rules. There are families, people you represent, who have made the decision to stay away from aging parents, from newborn babies, weddings, funerals. What do you say to those who chose to miss out on a lot of important life moments when you, yourself, did not . This is brutally hard. These rules are tough. I know i broke them. So i know how tough it is. To follow the rules. Im grateful for the many residents who recognize how important following these rules are to saving lives. And ive got to do better and im going to do better. Again, we just did that interview a short while ago, within the hour. We want to point out the mayors press agent originally told us he was going to spend the holiday at his home. To their credit, his office called us on their own, thanksgiving day, to correct that and let us know he had gone to his parents home instead. They just wouldnt say how many people attended that gathering. They boarded a flight to sfo at sfof to hawaii after they tested positive for covid and tonight theyre in big trouble in hawaii. Police arrested a couple at the airport in kauai when they got off the plane. Leslie and courtney tested positive at sfos quarantine station, before they departed, and then they disobeyed instructions to isolate and not travel. Theyre not charged with Reckless Endangerment and child endangerment because they were traveling with their 4yearold child. All right. The rules have changed on the slopes. If youre thinking of a lastminute trip to lake tahoe, think again. Resorts are banned from selling day of tickets. You got to have a season pass or make a reservation in advance. Skiers and borders must wear a mask and social distancing at all times while going down the slopes. Riding a chairlift or trams or gondolas, you can only ride with members of your household. Resorts are being asked to discourage all group activities, that means ski lessons and Training Classes could see changes as well. So you can still ski, but you just got to plan ahead before going up to tahoe. We need some fresh powder. Right, lucy . Wouldnt you say, lucy . We do. Nice to see you both. She would love the snow. She really would. Good to see you guys, too. Shes recovering from thanksgiving like i am. And a little bit of a turkey haze. Well check in with lucy and well talk about our longrange rain outlook here coming up in just a few minutes. Plus, a floating fire station. Right here in the bay area. It sounds like something out of the future, but were going to show you where in the bay area you can now find this one. Ernest hemingway wrote the old man and the sea at 52 Satchel Paige was still dominating batters at 59. Celia cruz was still winning grammys at 77 john wheeler illuminated our ideas of the universe at 70 and roger crouch was 56 when he first went into space your best is yet to come San Francisco has more than 40 fire stations and now one of them floats. Our chopper caught sight of it today anchored off treasure island, but its about to move overnight. Tug boats will tow it to peier 22. The times of the move depends on the tides. The existing building on the embarcadero is just too old. 105 years old and outdated. Munis about to get some of its Light Rail Service back on track. You may remember muni halted light rail trains nine months ago but now above ground trains are gradually scheduled to restart this month. At the end of january, the t third line will return from embarcadero to sunnydale. And will return above ground in february. The demographics are changing, but the lineage of San Francisco can never be altered. The citys amazing Music History is now on display for everyone to see. A Ribbon Cutting ceremony took place today at the Music City Hotel on bush and polk. Showing some of the biggest names to rock the citys music scene. Some of the stars, the grateful dead, santana and janis joplin. Its part of San Franciscos fabric. When you think about San Francisco, people think about the golden gate bridge. They think about cable cars. They think about great restaurants. And they think about the music. The music, the music, the music thats come out of our great city. A play list of featured artists also plays on a loop inside the hotel. Well, people magazine, which often celebrates fame and beauty, has decided to put dr. Anthony fauci on its cover for its next people of the year issue. Its one of four covers. Dr. Fauci is recognized for his contributions in fighting the coronavirus, of course, also getting the cover treatment, singer and actress selena gomez for her Fundraising Efforts for Mental Health access, oscar winner regina king for her activism in ending police brutality.

Does she enjoy thanksgiving . Give you a lick. She did. She says she heard the word leftovers. Shes like, yes, more, more, more. Were actually keeping her from her dinner right now, but, you know, fame sometimes you got to work for it, right, lucy . Okay. And, yes, i can report she did, in fact, get some turkey off the floor and she is also extremely ready for christmas dinner. So you only got about four more weeks to go, lucy, all right . Going to be coming your way. Lets go ahead and bring you into that Weather Forecast tonight. Ive been showing some viewer photos. I had my tree up really early. Over a week ago, and i asked to hear from some of you. Look at this one coming in from tin. She just messaged me on instagram and she said, check out my tree. And what a tree it is. Ive never seen one with so much blue color. So beautiful. Look at all that detail. Just really, really remarkable to see how great thats decorated. So, tyn, thanks for sending that in. Get ahold of me on twitter, instagram and facebook. Id love to share your photos on air when i can. Mobile dopplar radar, its try, that really has been the problem, the dry weather. We really need to get some rainfall in here. Running about 2 to 5 inches behind for the rain season. This is the issue, High Pressure. Any time we get a storm system close by like the one that is just off to the north right now, High Pressure is sitting out here offshore of the bay area and its just breaking up the storm, so were not seeing any big rain chances at all. In fact, no rain chances with that storm. So for tomorrow morning, well start off cold. Take your jacket, have it by the door if you got to head to the Grocery Store or just going outside to walk the dog or get some time for yourself and do some exercise. 37 in the trivalley. Peninsula, 41, south bay at 40. Well also have a little bit of that earlymorning patchy fog from about 5 00 to 7 00 in the morning. North bay, 37. San francisco, 42, and the east bay at 38. Temperatures tomorrow, look, we got a great day moving in. By the afternoon, we get that sunshine. Were going to be up to 69 in gilroy. 68 in morgan hill and 67 in milpitas. 6 64 in concord, 67 in danville and more of the 60s in the peninsula. 62 in san mateo. The mission at 63. So its another one of these forecasts where you travel around the bay area and things dont change too much. 67 in santa rosa. My extended forecast in San Francisco, 40s for morning lows, 60s for those afternoon highs and a little bit of wind sunday and monday, 10 to 25 Miles Per Hour. So that will increase our fire danger a little bit here. For the inland valleys were also looking at cold mornings in the 30s to low 40s and 60s for daytime highs. The twoweek rain outlook, i wanted you to see below average chances. We may need to wait until the end of december, early january to really get some better rainfall chances in here. And, you know, i mentioned lucy was ready for christmas dinner. Shes also ready to wear a rain coat. My mom sent her this rain coat and she already has some boots.
