Joins double edged sword here man we love to see the rain but these 4 restaurants, yeah, no boy just tough to get out there youre in the middle the rain. Any of the gusty winds to go along with that too so that makes a little bit harder to be outside and that kind weather and you know thats just the beginning, were just getting going here weve got a long way to go through the storm season in fact want to see more active pattern developing i think as we get into next week tonight still what tarmac out there tonight at sfo is weve had the rain moved through most us start to taper off just a bit now Doppler Radar still picking up scattered showers the worst the front has moved on by still sees few showers around the bay area right now most of that is very like, but you see the front has moved through especially into the afternoon rolling on by kind of a ragtag front not a real strong system let some of mountains in the north bay at over half an inch of rain in fact him registering near an inch of rain over the past 24 hours. So here we sit right now you see a couple scattered showers into the east bay, otherwise they start to quiet down quite a bit now, and thats the way its going to be as were going to see the system kind of fall apart, but its left behind some moisture. So maybe if the winds subside tonight we start to talk about some fog now speaking of the winds it was blustery around a good part of the bay areas that front came through some winds gusting 2030 miles an hour. And now the winds start to calm down just a little bit as that front has gone by the rainfall totals, not bad not huge, but 1900s in the mill Valley Timber on checking in with 1607 inch of rain for hundreds in santa rosa just 200s in oakland, a drop in the bucket there in San Francisco in danville check in with 700 of an inch of rain.

The better part of next week thank you lawrence well Indoor Dining will be banned in San Francisco for the foreseeable future back to that city leaders announcing new restrictions this week because of a spike in covid cases kron fours terisa stasio has reaction now from the already struggling Restaurant Industry. Despite relaxing restrictions just a few weeks ago now it is back to no more Indoor Dining. The Restaurant Industry already facing so much hardship with shelter in place and the slow roll out after that is struggling to deal with all of it very disappointed comes to have this happen Laurie Thomas executive director of the golden gate restaurant association. And owner of 2 restaurants now saying that with the cold weather and the rain its even harder to figure out how to you know this is a very touchy subject and its been a really rough 3 days. For everybody in our industry that the frustration i think is that. The for how were going to stay open is change the state says that even in the red category restaurants could be open at 25 indoor not to exceed a 100. Whatever is your lower amount and and if you guys all follow the the state is assigned an insulating doubt has assigned San Francisco county in the yellow which means were essentially now acting as if were in the purple by shutting down Indoor Dining tomorrow morning or at midnight tonight as well i think that what weve seen in the midwest and across the country has finally reached San Francisco and i think what Small Businesses and businesses across him scar ready for it along. Hard winter. You know shutting down Indoor Dining of course might be the right Public Health decision but as were all experiencing right now while its raining. Its not like Outdoor Dining its going to be a panacea for local restaurants and so folks are really going to be experiencing a pullback economically through the Holiday Season which so many Small Businesses depend on to succeed. One other county is Alameda County and they are looking at those metrics very closely speaking of science and data and metrics there was that study that came out from stanford this past week where it showed that most people are getting covid by spending time at restaurants grocery stores.

So well Indoor Fitness Centers and gyms and Concession Stands at movie theaters. We chose these activities because of the risks involved. For instance, diners and restaurants remove their masks to eat or drink has to make movie patrons when stacking on food from Concession Stands. On masks are one of the most effective prevention tools, heavy breathing exercise, even with a mask in transmitted virus particles very long of the health and safety of our guests and our staff for the most important things ended.

No one wants to be outside if its raining its its its a you know a drenching downpour, obviously no one will be served at the table and well just have to go back to what we did over the summer with the take out this Health Officials are hoping these latest restrictions will reverse the surge but if it does not. The state will officially move this county into the purple tier one week from this tuesday and that will come with additional restrictions walnut creek Dan Kerman Kron 4 news.

Many of the new cases are people in the 18 to 34 yearold range say leaders are also considering more restrictions because of a spike in covid cases today, california state leaders joined are again and washington issuing a travel advisory urging travelers to self quarantine for 14 days and asking residents to avoid all nonessential out of state trips.

Im going to get my test isolate until i get my test results. Depending on the results i will ask my board of consult my board of health or and the other Health Officials if i should get a second covid test, especially at the end of the 2 week period. Another traveler headed to utah for a family visit says he has no problem with the idea of quarantining once he comes home, i would do it. That will benefit me and my family and benefit others, he also supports the idea of asking residents not to travel for non essential reasons but also likes that this advisory is just voluntary you know covid19 spike here in california, you know its like everybody has to play a role on trying to stop but at the same time. Still have to freedom. Everybody has the right to travel on to whatever they want so the one man i spoke to off to visit friends says if this advisory had come out before he booked his trip.

At least for the time being convicted murderer Scott Peterson will remain on death row at san quentin state prison. The only person to physically appear in the courtroom at the hall of justice in redwood city was the superior court judge. Peter saying his defense and prosecutors all joined virtually at issue was whether or not the court would order peterson to be relocated from prison to the San Mateo County jail to allow him and his lawyers, easier access to one another ahead of future hearings. But the defense stated they were pleased with the access they have to their client on death row and that a transfer would be an unnecessary risk while covid19 continues to spread. The judge decided peterson can stay in prison. Legal analyst paula canny reacts its completely appropriate nothing is going to happen anytime soon in his case, the court hasnt made many important decisions. Like is the only next thing going to be a penalty phase or is court going rule on the haiti and ultimately decide that Scott Peterson is entitled to a new trial based on juror misconduct. So. Its completely appropriate that scott stay on death row peterson also waived his right to a speedy trial and reiterated his complete confidence in defense attorney pat harris adding that he had lost all faith in his original attorneys mark geragos. In august, the state Supreme Court overturned petersons death sentence because jurors who opposed Capital Punishment were improperly dismissed before the trial.

Thats right and he didnt want to say a Biden Administration he didnt want to mention his opponent. Partly that is in a personal sense. The President Donald Trump does not respect joe biden the former Vice President respected secretary clinton he doesnt have the same modicum of respect for the incoming president the president as a result, its hard for him to go to that place where he talks about what comes next however, clearly serious people in the white house understand whats going on the with georgia of the state of georgia in terms of its ballots arizona in terms of the moving out of the law one of the big law firms representing the president there they dont have a case all of this is kind of coming to a head rather the covid pandemic the weight of what has happened to this president and his presidency it weighs on you and it becomes an isolating experience weve seen this with president s during crises throughout our history.

Meanwhile Trumps Campaign lawyers are still contesting Election Results in several battleground states kron fours joe kaliyah looks deeper into the lawsuit said he spoke to experts about why the president may face an uphill battle. President Trumps Campaign lawyers continue to challenge the Election Results in court i think the goal of the lawsuit should be to make sure that every legally cast a ballot is counted. Zach smith is a legal expert with the heritage foundation, a conservative think tank. He says the campaigns best chance lies in states like pennsylvania where voting deadlines were extended over the summer as a result of covid but he says their best Case Scenario still may not flip the state for trump face an uphill battle for a couple of reasons. One is that Election Fraud is hard to prove of the nearly dozen lawsuits filed in pennsylvania georgia michigan arizona and nevada the allegations range from election observers being denied access legitimate ballots rejected late or invalid ballots improperly counted. And poll workers coaching voters to vote biden some are still pending others have been dismissed for lack of evidence unless campaign is able to show really systemic judges are going to be very hesitant to intervene in those situations and so far smith says that bar hasnt been still the lawsuits and fraud allegations have led to plant protests. We just dont want this tried to take place so were up here just to show some more. Peter simpson came to washington from missouri for the stop the steal protest. A supporter of President Trump he says he like many here was unsure about the Election Results. I would really like the Justice System worked through all this and presented to us in a way where we can believe what theyre saying and these protests have sparked antitrump protests are to a legitimate case what theyre trying to do is sold out on our democracy. Theres not a lot of there theres lots allegations of fraud but. I think courts a fairly well dispensed was most of Stephen Kaufman was on the team representing al gore after the 2000 president ial election. He says the trump campaigns lack of evidence in their filings is telling these. Lawsuits are being filed in bad was no real them to delay. The outcome of the election. President elect joe bidens Transition Team nonetheless is pushing for access to National Security briefings as well as updated information on the covid19 pandemic. There are areas where as much as president like been working on policy issues from National Security to health for you need real time information to deal with crises of the moment there are so on a covid front like access to ongoing work on distribution plans of Vaccine Development that engagement directly with the agencies would significantly help our to govern obviously at this pivotal time and as weve seen thousands seen this week thousands of americans have lost their lives to covid the current president is absent from that conversation you know its imperative that our team and our experts have that access. Yesterday republican senator James Lankford of oklahoma said that it was time for president elect biden to get the Intelligence Briefings which are traditionally provided during a president ial transition and lakefront het said that he would step in if that process had not started by today. Bidens Transition Team did not confirm whether the Intelligence Briefings had taken place but did say lankoord was not the only republican who had raised concerns about this very issue.

We know weve been reporting for weeks that thousands of disneyland and disney california adventure employees have been out of work whether theyre furloughed or been completely laid off for about 8 months now the big push by not only his employees but by the ceo Walt Disney Company is to get them back to work and get people back to the parks take a listen to what the ceo had to say in a press conference yesterday.

The disney parks experiences and Products Division side, 9. 7 billion dollar decline in revenue in the fiscal year 2020, the ceo went on to keep it a bit more positive say even with the disruption caused by covid19 we have been able to effectively manage our business while also taking bold deliberate steps to position our company for greater longterm growth and take a look at the tears for the california state covid19 guidelines, this is under governor Gavin Newsoms blueprint for a safer economy, major parks cannot reopen until their counties reach the yellow or minimal tier well right here in Orange County where disneyland and disney california adventure existed is currently in the red substantial tier 2 according see Health Care Agency officials it is unlikely but possible still that Orange County could move from the red substantial tier to the orange moderate tier 3 in right into minimal tier 4 by mid december. And im talking thats the best Case Scenario which would mean that once the parks where did the ruck lear to open it would still take another 2 to 5 weeks for them to be cleared for them to have visitors to come so that means that big reality of disneyland disney california adventure opening would be some time in january of next year but more realistically summertime 2021. Megan tell us reporting there for us tonight, disney is planning to open part of california adventure on november 19th but only for shopping and dining all of the attractions. Well stay close.

On sunday the niners head to new orleans to face the hottest team in football right now, and they use is predicting this game to be the second biggest beatdown of the weekend. The fortyniners do have Kendrick Bourne brandon can Trent Williams back after that whole covid debacle that kept him out of last weeks thursday night football game. But those are really the only major additions to the lineup since that embarrassing loss to the Green Bay Packers with a bye week ahead head coach Kyle Shanahan said his staff will be pushing any of the injured players to return. Hopefully we 12 we could see the likes of Richard Sherman and deebo samuel back on the field with some fresh legs. So this weekends task a tough one for sure, but if you think the 49 ers are throwing in the towel. Youd be rough. The better you do the better chance we have to win and then the new out on the spot that no one thing she can. And let me i think that entice is everybody he always want to prove people wrong and we know its going to be a big challenge but thats something that were ready to go compete for and that not just on sunday weve been working for this all weekend. Well see what happens sunday, but our guys going to go out there and go for it. Coronavirus has already wreaked havoc on the College Football season, but this week might be the worst yet take a look at all of the games postponed or canceled this weekend all thanks to covid19 we cant even fit the whole list in one graphic because there are 15 games all across the country and that will no longer be played as scheduled the pac 12 called off the su cal game with a u. S. After a su had several players test positive and we still have an update on the cal players who are quarantined as the result of a positive test last week this weekend we do have a first the pac 12 has scheduled a totally new game less than 48 hours out callan ucl and will play on sunday morning at the rose bowl. Ucl a saturday game against utah also canceled the 2 california teams were not previously scheduled to play this season, then of course we cant forget about these guys the Stanford Cardinal whove also had their fair share of drama this season. We learned today that last weekends covid tests that forced 3 players to sit out the organ game were deemed invalid and heres a statement you just saw there from stanford in the pac 12 released one to saying there was an error and pac 12 testing protocols that led to one players results coming back as inconclusive. And the Golden State Warriors are proposing an ambitious plan to get fans back inside the chase center. Theyre calling it operation dubbed nation. The plan includes the Team Spending 30 Million Dollars a game to test every single fan employee in player with the venue being filled up to 50 capacity. But the whole thing right on the availability of rapid pcr tests that provide results in about 15 minutes. Those previously havent been widely available or used in worst president. Rick welts as theyve been working with ucf s on this project projects since the spring and they believe if anyone can pull it off they could pull it off with this technology. Thats. Allows us to create a completely different and very safe atmosphere. This very different from anything been proposed of course. Were not oblivious to whats going on in our country right now and this plan has to be authorized by local and state Health Authorities but at that when the time is right for that. Were going to be ready. All keep our fingers crossed a thanksgiving less than 2 weeks away and despite the increase in covid19 numbers a lot of people still planning to head out for the weekend for a getaway thats the reality of it a popular destination this Holiday Season every year is tahoe specially with the snow that were getting right now. Liked how officials theyre not asking visitors to do anything really out of the ordinary saying just stick to the basics wear your mask, wash your hands physically distance yourself from people. You know live with. If you love to a whole and you respect i hope youll do the things you need and youre right. Its just as simple as washing your hands and putting on a mask and stay away from people, you dont know. I mean its just that simple just because were over covid19 doesnt mean covid is over us right, its not over. Went on to say that each resort has its own safety protocols in place so be sure to call ahead and see what extra steps you may have to take and a reminder. Tahoe has a mask mandate that carries a 500 fine for each violation. As we take a live look outside this is interstate 80 eastbound right Donner Summit you can see. Its been snowing lot of folks moving along the road there lets check in with our chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow he has the tahoe forecast as well as our yeah, a lot of folks like this sneak up to the high country this time of year enjoy. That nice wintry weather and certainly there seen it tonight the snow has been piling up out there in enough so that you need your chains if youre going up there. Winter weather advisories continue in there for a little longer as weve seen all that snow begin in the fall many the higher peaks and so youre going up kind of a rough ride up there and you can see why on the Doppler Radar you see the rain. Down to the south and this high country begin to see that turn into snow as those temperatures get a lot colder locally now things beginning to quiet down a couple of scattered showers possibly over the east bay hills but that is about it is the front kind of working its way out of the bay area kind of fall apart so tonight, nice night out there youve got fresh water out there on the road still a little bit slick out there for the first rain of the season some to watch out for temperatures started to get cool in spots. Weve got 50s inside the bay 50 degrees and 2 bronze, 48 nevada 46 degrees in petaluma 49. In santa rosa with some of that moisture on the ground. Some you may want to watch out for is a possibility some dense far we havent seen much of that. So far this season, but now got a cold front get a little moisture on the ground in the temperatures drop off and hit the dewpoint all of a sudden you get some of that ground fog so watch out for that late tonight early tomorrow morning. All right this what weve been waiting for of course, this is a slow start to the rain season. But finally get things going today, one cold front coming through right now that pushing on by behind that looks like if you go weekend plans looking pretty safe High Pressure building in overhead that ridge will tend to keep the storm track a little bit further to the north so looks promising that just cant quite get here staying dry through sunday were maybe those temperatures get closer to 7070 degrees and some of warmest spots and then as we get into next tuesday, this looks like a more impressive storm coming to the bay area to bring a round of rain maybe some scattered showers in the wednesday, at least in the north bay, the water have this model wants to bring this storm system up out of the south. If it does that would likely hold a lot more moisture coming our way and behind that guess what another once you get the idea open things up now to some more Stormy Weather this pattern. Finally making a shift that looks like its going to bring us a lot more rain until the end of the month. Temperatures for tomorrow should be dry 50s and some 60s.
