Some none of that dense to fog developing out there for tonight going to stay nice and clear throughout the night. Todays highs running above normal in many spots right at the average in San Francisco at 62, but you get to oakland 66 degrees 67 in san jose, 64 limb or 66 in concord and 67 degrees. In santa rosa. Few of those high clouds drifting overhead today and then started to push all the way down to Southern California little more off the coastline but this low thats been around there thats going to slowly track maybe throw a few more clouds high clouds right our way, but thats about it otherwise were looking at a great weekend ahead.

Theres a chance you could even see a couple of patches of frost inside of me thats a little harder to do. But you get some 30s and 40s you might see some of those cars a little frost building up on top of roofs, there in the meantime though tonight skies going to stay nice and clear it will be cold and frosty in spots, especially inland and then tomorrow, sunny and should be very warm in many spots well inland almost 70 degrees in some places still looking kind of active out there in the pacific weve got this low off the coastline, weve got one to the north is that one on the gulf of alaska that is going to kind of swipe across Northern California as we head in toward the latter part of the weekend but not tomorrow looking good High Pressure going to some nice temperatures the bay area around much of the state and then were going to see some of those clouds move in as we head in toward lot of part of the weekend temperatures around the state about 71 degrees in reading about 71 in Santa Barbara looking good mid 70s in los angeles.

Well the fight against Covid Vaccine trials are underway here in the bay areas Drug Companies really race to seek fda approval yet the bright spot.

Pfizer and moderna announcing their vaccines are about 95 effective we spoke with samantha a pharmacy solution advisor at which provides hospitals with data to help them solve Health Care Supply chain challenges trip pharmaceutical companies which one is better. I think its too early to really be able to bet on on one vaccine over the other, but what we do know is that and the fda very rigorous in their so if they do grant. Emergency use authorization to either it means that in their eyes a benefit far outweighs the risks and that a review the efficacy and safety data pfizer is awaiting emergency approval from the food and Drug Administration if signed off the vaccine could roll out in a few weeks moderna expects to also seek emergency authorization within weeks the drug will be given to those most at risk particularly health care workers. The plan is to phase this out i think with those 2 manufactures theres probably going to be about doses but theyre projecting for the end of nearly a billion next year and the big question when will the public have access to the vaccine for the rest of us likely and 2021. Those that are perhaps lower risk whats great about that is as they continue the Clinical Trials and continue to study other patient populations like perhaps pediatric er children populations and things of that nature will have a little bit more information also in 2021.
