Reporter once the vaccine is available to the general public, dr. Chinhong kong expects it will be free for everyone and could be available at places like target, cvs and walgreens but at this point, Health Experts dont know if the shot prevents someone from passing the virus to others.

Youre going to get some protection after first shot but the best protection and the best probability of protection is going to be there about 28 days after the second likely. Reporter dr.

They expect that number to go up this year due to covidrelated health conditions. Temperatures dropping as we speak. Going to be a chilly night all week. Lets check in with meteorologist rob mayeda. Sunny skies, dry air. Help to dry things out more and once the winds are back up, well see starting late night. Valleys dropping even colder. Likely some of the areas that our wind sheltered waking up to low 30s by tomorrow morning and more dry weather, which during the day, pretty nice with the sunshine. Things really cool off very quickly as we head into the evening hours. Bay side, it wont be quite as bad. Well have the temperatures staying in the 40s but it will be inland locations including later on san jose and i think tonight, by 11 00, low 40s eventually, mid 30s heading into your friday morning and walnut creek, 56 and tomorrow, the wind really backs off. We could see low 30s for parts of inland contra costa county. Notice temperatures for the morning. Watch out for those very chilly valleys for the morning. Pretty good recovery and the temperatures by noon tomorrow. Youve got 50s and 60s around 12 00 and then by midafternoon and early evening, numbers looking pretty good.

Numbers looking pretty good for football. Weather not much of a factor at all. Sunny skies and temperatures close to 60 degrees in berkeley. Here is the bigger issue.

December 3rd, we have to go way out there in the forecast to see this slight chance of showers. That falls apart on our doorstep and the orange you see over california, that is High Pressure and you realize in the past, gone into novembers and decembers that stayed dry. We talk about these particularly persistent ridges of High Pressure. Theres one right there and notice what it will likely do for our rain chances through the end of november. This takes us all the way to december 7th. So while the weather is pleasant during the day, all the sunshine, chilly mornings, rainfall averages, likely stay below average. Based on the long range outlook into the beginning of december and likely, at least during the day, well continue to see those above average temperatures of highs in the 60s. So the sevenday forecast heading through the weekend, copy and paste pretty much throughout not having any real changes there. Breezy still at times tomorrow. Not as windy as we have today for the north bay and east bay and then another round possibly of some breezes for the hills on monday and tuesday. Typically, this is one of the wettest times of the year. First quarter into the second quarter. As you just saw, all the dry weather will have a price as things continue to stay quite dry and fire danger could be a concern if we get too much of the wind into december without seeing more of that rainmaking a comeback. So far though, sevenday forecast looking pretty dry. Thats the last thing we need. Janelle, we had apple pie in the mayeda household. What do we have in the nbc newsroom . Anything .

What youre made of, were made for. Usaa many students and techers are a new type of covid test may be the key to reopening schools. Many students and teachers are relying on the socalled saliva test rather than those nose and throat swabs. Your saliva can be tested for covid. Its less invasive and less painful for most kids. Another plus is that it can test up to 200 samples at once. Nasal swabs need a person to take that sample. Invasive procedure. The nasal swab at that moment in time, a supply shortage. The tests rolled out at Small Schools right now across the country. A thanksgiving gift from zoom to families across the country. Today, the San Jose Based Company got rid of 40 minute meeting limit so people could have more time to chat with loved ones as they socially distanced this holiday but it will be put back in place tomorrow.
