Now, that fog. Right. Were seeing that as we look now from the cupertino hills in the south bay. Right now not a good view of it, but hopefully tomorrow youll have a better chance. Lets go through our temperature trend. Were going to see our morning start in the 60s, and then as we go throughout today, its going to reach up to about 80 degrees, and this will actually be one of the coolest days of the week as we reach into the mid80s in the south bay and some mid80 force parts of the inland east bay with concord reaching 86. Well talk about hotter weather ahead in the forecast. Mike, how is it looking right now for the morning commute . Kari, the bay area toll plaza just turned on about 10 minutes ago. You see all lanes have filled in, so that was pretty quick. Theyre not stopped up, but theyre close to getting there. Looking at the map, there is no problem on the approach, just the backup on the toll plaza. The rest looks good, so does the rest of the bay. Back to you. Thank you, mike. We want to get right to that breaking news. Russia said it developed the first covid19 vaccine. Scott macfarlane is in washington, d. C. What is the talk right now . We know a lot of scientists will have some skepticism, but politically speaking, what are you hearing . Well, there is a world of skepticism throughout the world on this. Vladimir putin, russias president , said it registered a vaccine which means it could go into mass production and could be disseminated to medical workers by next month. In fact, putin says his daughter has already taken a couple doses of this vaccine and feels well. This is, though, a skeptical topic forhistory, there is no peer review thats been finalizesededd on this vac and there is concern theyre putting National Prestige ahead of health and safety here and letting National Prestige win out. And, scott, question. Is there any reaction from the white house at this point or capitol hill . We know that the stock markets seem to have reacted a bit. The president has Just Announced a News Conference 2 30 p. M. Pacific time, but his Health Secretary spoke this morning and said, quote, the point is to have a vaccine thats safe and effective for the American People and the people of the world showing some concern this may not be yet proven as safe in russia.

On wednesday morning, kari, the question is always, will we be able to see it or will the fog steal the show . It depends on where we are, because as we take this live view in dublin, it is clear here, but then you look over toward castro valley, and you can see that layer of fog over that area. So we will at times see some fog rolling in. I think the south bay will have the best chance of getting a clear view as we head towards tonight and tomorrow morning, but these shooting stars, they are flying past. And as the predawn hours will be the best up until about 5 30. Just lay out there with a panoramic view and enjoy the show. We are going to have some great weather for it.

Again, southbound the headlights building in towards Silicon Valley. Good morning and a very happy tuesday to you. Investors are very, very optimistic this morning after news out of rus to you that there may be a working vaccine. Now, there is some dubiousness to this. The number of people, for instance, who have actually been tested with this vaccine is very low, and this is also the same country that says it doesnt know who invaded ukraine, it doesnt know who all those soldiers are, and it certainly did not interfere with our election. That country. Nonetheless, lets take you out to the futures board this morning as we take a look at how the stock market is likely to trade. Perhaps science will overcome politics.

We will dive deeply into that if this seems to become a reality. Meanwhile, the payroll taxes, were still waiting for guidance from the irs as to how to handle this. Remember, the proposal is or the executive order is that President Trump says your employer will no longer take out payroll taxes out of your paycheck starting september 1st. That means more money in your paycheck, but youre still going to owe the tax that will come due, and its california got the bulk of the unemployment money out of the 250 billion spent by the federal government in those extra payments.

They may add one star to their entourage, betty white. They may add a cameo to their new video, and we cant say it on morning tv, which might explain why i cant pronounce it, and it features a cameo by bettysand carly jenner. If betty white was in that video, shut it down. It would have been a classic. But if you dont know what it is i feel totally left out. Kris, ill tell you later. Youre over 18 so we can talk about it. I just did a search that said wireless application protocol. Yeah, well go with that one. Well go with that. Well switch right over to weather. And im going to change the subject completely. All right, lets start out this morning as we get a live look outside. Looking at lafayette as the clouds start to roll over parts of the east bay this morning, and as we take a look at the 7day forecast thats coming up on the bottom of the screen, a cloudy start but it wont be that way all day long. In fact, as we check out our high temperatures for all our microclimates, expect concord to reach 87 degrees, 71 degrees in oakland and some low 80s for palo alto. San francisco, were staying in the mid60s here. Enjoy today with those little breaks you have from work or from home schooling. Get outside and take it in, because we are going to have some hot weather in the forecast. Let me show you whats happening out there in the pacific. So we have now hurricane elida, and this is way to the south of us, and this is happening south of even cabo right now, and its going to continue on its westward track over the pacific, and then weaken over the next few days. But this will actually have an impact on our bay area weather going toward the end of the week, so what happens here is as that storm weakens, it gets picked up on the High Pressure thats over the Desert Southwest and gets drawn into the bay area. So its going to bring in more clouds, possibly some higher humidity as we go into friday, as well as saturday. Higher humidity and very hot temperatures from the Desert Southwest is not a good combination for us. Its going to be sweltering hot for the weekend, and we are going to see some relief along the coastline. Take a look at these numbers. Over the next seven days, for the inland areas, we go from the upper 80s today to the 90s tomorrow and then some upper 90s in some of our hottest spots in the inland areas, but also with some high humidity, it is going to be not comfortable at all, mike. Is it looking a little bit better for the commute right now . Carkari, it was until just a couple moments ago when i got word of a traffic look in San Francisco overlooking the bay bridge. The bay bridge toll plaza already had the backup and theyre likely to slow these metering lights down, because on the San Francisco side, west 80 that you commute into the city, a report of a crash and a car fire blocking your two left lanes at the fifth offramp there. There will be a stek pectacle f folks coming on the offramp through San Francisco. The rest of the bay is okay. If you could option for the Richmond Bridge or the san mateo bridge, great options for you. No problem for the south bay, either, but again, west 85th in San Francisco, we do have a traffic alert. Back to you. Thank you, mike. Next for you here on today in the bay, the search for survivors is continuing in baltimore. This is after that home explosion. Plus, what the power and gas company is saying this morning. New for you this morning, the video showing you damage left behind in the midwest. This was after severe storms swept through the night. On your left, this is a chicago suburb. The heavy rain there flooding many of those streets. Wind damage also toppling trees, causing power outages. On your right you can see right there that tree broken in half. That was in iowa caused by those strong winds, Hurricane Force winds, actually ripping through the state. Also happening now for you, in baltimore, rescue units sifting through the debris of a home explosion, searching for survivors. Aerial video showing you damage there, the extent of it. There used to be about three row homes there. That explosion killed a woman, injuring three others. The cause of that explosion still unknown, but the gas and Electric Company saying there was no gas reading found in any of the buildings and no leaks were found on the gas main. A Southern California mother is now speaking out about a si
