Were turned on and it is a little busier, more traffic heading over there. Some slowing on the span shows up on our maps because there may be a disabled vehicle. A semi truck perhaps getting close to the Treasure Island so we may see more backup as they slow the metering lights down. Well closely track that and the drive. The rest of the bay shows no major problems. The slowdown in concord is not what it may appear to be. Ill explain that coming up. The rest of the bay lighter than you would normally see. Back to you. Thank you, mike. 6 01 right now. From the bay area to los angeles to san diego millions of californians are waking up after the weekend to a new shelter at home order. Weve got live looks outside. Here is a look at how california is divided into regions in terms of tracking surge cases and hospital rates. All regions are now in some form of that stayathome order. Today in the bays Cierra Johnson is live for us. I know different counties are rolling out those restrictions differently. So break it down for us so we can understand. Reporter yeah, good morning. The whole point of the new restrictions is really just to urge folks to stay inside and limit that interaction with everyone else. This coming as we know that surge is expected from the folks that gathered during the thanksgiving holiday. It was only a matter of weeks after that holiday that those cases were expected to rise. The new restrictions really coming at a pivotal time. What counties are involved and what changes can you expect to see . Those regions within the state and five counties are impacted by this, alameda, marin, San Francisco, contra costa and santa clara counties. The biggest changes are coming for those restaurants. There is no more indoor or Outdoor Dining. Bars and restaurants at this point are limited to carryout only. As far as those personal Care Services like hair and nail salons and those counties, those also have to close along with museums retailers are allowed to have indoor business, but they must operate at no more than 20 capacity. Many Business Owners, the frustration really lies with whats been a roller coaster ride since march. Its really been difficult for them to adapt. Closing up shop. Take a listen. I mean, its a bummer for all of us here. Were final lip gettily getting stride of picking back up and reengaging with our regulars and seeing familiar faces. Next shutdown for it is a shame. Reporter and for those of you wondering about the school, if your district has that inperson learning, that inperson learning can continue as long as everyone is following the social distancing and mask wearing protocols. Were live in San Francisco, Cierra Johnson for today in the bay. All right, thank you very much, cierra. Well, it is 6 03 right now. Two of the five designated regions in california have already hit Critical Mass when it comes to icu bed availability. That is the actual metric that were talking about that triggers a region wide stayathome order. Now take a look at this map. It shows you all the regions that are being watched at this time and as you can see actually the bay area has more beds compared to most of the states. 24 . Look at one of the hardest hit areas, that is there in the central valley, san joaquin valley. They are just at over 6 of icu beds availability. Thats the danger of this outbreak should it get even worse there of where they put the people when they need so many of these icu beds. So were closely monitoring everything that is going on. This is whats determining the stayathome order that so many of us are now under, marcus. A lot of people need help. In washington, laura, thats where lawmakers on the same side cant even agree on the proposed covid relief bill. Senator Bernie Sanders says hes against the bill because it doesnt include 1,200 in direct payments to cover liability protection. Representative alexandria ocasiocortez says she supports the deal. A closer look at the divide as cases continue to surge. Tracie . Reporter now we have a vaccine that could be ready for some people by the end of the week. A covid relief bill that lawmakers hope will follow very quickly if not around the same time. This 908 billion that would include help for people whose help is running out fast. Unemployment and protection from evictions expected to happen this month. Theyre trying to deal with not the larger stimulus but relief for people whose benefits could be running out around the holidays. We have a few remaining issues. I think we can work them out. We dont have a choice now. Were gig relief to the landlords on the condition the person not be evicted. Reporter Small Business loans are running out. President elect biden is announcing his health and Human Services secretary who will be very much involved in fighting coronavirus will be Xavier Becerra, californias attorney general. A former member of congress who fought very hard for the Affordable Care act. Hes expected to announce soon, possibly today or tomorrow. The rest of the health team, we have those names today, they include a team focused on equity, an Equity Task Force to deal with the disproportionate impact on communities of color. Thank you, tracie. Well closely be watching the uk as history will be made tomorrow there. Started arriving at hospitals over the weekend. Vaccines from pfizer. Theyre going first to people over 80 years old. Front Care Health Care workers and nursing home staff and residents. All this week taking a closer look at the race for a vaccine. Were answering all of your questions from how the Covid Vaccine is different from other vaccines to who is paying for it. Ahead at 6 45 well show you how the Covid Vaccine will be different from any other vaccine that weve gotten. Check out our beautiful camera up top. You see it shaking. Those are the gusty winds meteorologist kari hall has been tracking. Up in the Higher Elevations this morning. All of that is prompting the rare december high fire danger. Bob redell is in dublin this morning. Here we go again. A lot of people say you have to stay alert when all of this is happening. Reporter the National Weather service has extended its red flag warning that was in effect until 5 00 tonight, marcus and laura. This is rare. Here we are in december, normally this time the fire danger normally has passed. There could be wind gusts of 40 up to 60 miles an hour in the upper elevations. Parts of the peninsula and the santa cruz mountains. Humidity levels could drop this morning. To 25 , 30 . Weve had hardly any rain and lots of dry fuel. All of that combined ingredient for wildfire. Red flag conditions have led to two destructive fire in southern california, back here in the bay area. Contra costa county fire keeping their fire stations fully staffed and their men and women ready to deploy if needed. Although its early december the conditions are such the fire danger is just as high standing here today as a month or two ago in october and november. Always in the back of my mind, we need the rain. I wish it would rain. Reporter i know the feeling. The National Weather service is discouraging any outside burning today. If you see smoke in the hills, assume the worst and call 911. Reporting live here in dublin, bob redell, today in the bay. All right, bob, thank you. If you see anything like that very important. Lets talk about the winds, kari. How gusty will they be in the Higher Elevations and how long will they stick around . The last hour i was looking at the healdsburg hills where weve had wind gusts up to 58 miles an hour. Were seeing wind gusts up to 35 right now. Its 20 to 25 miles an hour and then calm in other areas. I wanted to show you how that affects the temperatures because we look at ukiah right now where you dip down to 29. Its protected by the hills on either side. Its very calm there and its 29 degrees but you compare that to napa and santa rosa where the winds are rushing by and its 60 degrees right now, all of those winds creating the friction in the air and that warms up the temperatures. You can see the difference there. Were going to be watching this over the next few hours as our winds continue to gust this morning. And, mike, that may have a lot of drivers keeping a tight grip on the steering wheel. Yeah, because that friction can move your car around, too, right, pushing by the wind as well. Thats not an issue in the report just reported by chp. We will take a look because were concerned about that bay bridge for a number of reasons including that wind. From emeryville we do see the span. The camera is steady. The span was slow. Disabled semitruck reported as you head to Treasure Island. As we look at the map the sensors are starting to improve speeds going from red back to orange again and metering lights are on. I think they have cleared whatever issue was going on with that semitruck. Getting over, no problems. Highway 4 was slow through concord and the commute direction but the crash was eastbound and i believe those four vehicles have been cleared so the slowing i was going to show you good news, its cleared there. Never really showed up for much of the bay. A smooth, lighter drive right now. A major car recall. Up next engines in danger of catching fire. Find out if yours is one of the hundreds of thousands making this dangerous list. Plus a ceo makes a ton of money. Youll be surprised how much. Out to the futures this morning. Plus, were welcoming teeny tiny monkeys into the world this morning. Up next you wont believe just how tiny these babies are. Stick around. 6 12 this morning. I cant wait. Good monday morning. We are under a microclimate weather alert. As you get ready to head out for your commute be careful as you head to work. Heading into the 60s today with a lot of sunshine. Well talk about when that fire danger ends and whats ahead in the forecast coming up. And whats ahead at the bay bridge is right there. Some of the backup in the Rearview Mirror and what looks like a disabled big rig has cleared from the span. Well see how things change. Well check on that coming up. Good morning and a happy monday. Airbnb and door dash, well ask investors for. Doordash goes public on wednesday, well talk about them as we get further into the week and closer to those events. Tracie potts touched on the likelihood well see a Coronavirus Relief bill coming out of congress soon. All of that more important after fridays disappointing jobs numbers. Not only did the economy not add all that many new jobs, the Unemployment Rate showed a lot of people leaving the job market. They simply stopped looking. One of those situations where the Unemployment Rate going down is not necessarily good. The Unemployment Rate measures people who are without a job but looking for one. The Unemployment Rate looks better but its not. You recall the Trump Administration made a deal to loan kodak money so they could help in the manufacture of a vaccine. Kodak botched the job of announcing it to the point it looks suspicious. And several senators called for an investigation into whether the loan was legit. They have seen the final report and they say everything was aboveboard. Chickfila says its being mistreated by chicken farms, that they are making chicken more expensive than it should be. Grocery stores and other restaurants have made similar accusations in the past. England has changed quarantine policies. You dont need to quarantine once you land in england if youre what the government considers a high level person, ceos coming in for big business. Speaking of high value, bloomberg has taken a look at the compensation for the ceo of snowflake which debuted in september. The ceo has a deal with the company where hes paid in stock, he makes 108 million. 108 million would be a lot of money except he gets paid 108 million a month. Stock has tripled. 108 million a month. I have to figure what that is an hour. It has to be staggering. Im going to leave early today. Thanks, scott. 6 18 for you this morning. We have some new details on that delayed release of the new ford bronco. The last time they built a bronco ford 1996. Now ford says its going to delay the 2021 launch until this summer because a pandemic related problems in the supply change. They were expect ed to delay until midjanuary. So this is that recall alert for car drivers. Kia is now recalling nearly 300,000 cars for engine fire concerns that includes the 2011 to 2015 model of six different cars like the sorrento, the optima hybrid. Drivers are being told to take their cars to the dealership to see if the engine compartment is leaking fuel or oil. Last week kia agreed to pay a 210 million civil penalty after regulators say the company failed to recall the cars in a timely matter. All right, this one we were waiting for. Two tiny twins being shown off for the first time. The twins are the worlds smallest monkeys. They were born in september at the chester zoo in the uk. The twins are about the size of pingpong balls and still too small to determine if theyre male or female. Theyll be bouncing around like pingpong balls soon. You bet. Little squirrely. Cute there. Look, from cute to alert, 6 19 for you this morning. We have to talk about that red flag warning across the bay area today. Kari, youve been talking about the wind already picking up this morning. Weve had win gusts in the mountains really high this morning. And thats the reason we have this red flag warning that continues until 5 00 this evening. All of these areas shaded in red are included and that mostly includes our elevations above 1,000 feet where we could see some gusts over 60 Miles Per Hour but thats pushing up some high waves and were looking at some dangerous breakers today that could reach over 25 feet. Amazing to see high waves. The headsup that you dont want to ever turn your back to the water be a keep an eye on everyone around you including your pets. Were going to reach into the 60s but it will be windy and the winds will be picking up throughout the day. If youre like me at home home schooling and looking for opportunities for kids to get outside and get out some of that energy it will be in the mid to upper 60s for today in palo alto so its going to be nice especially after home schooling today. The rest of the week we are looking at some storm systems approaching but they just wont bring us any rain so were still stuck in this weather pattern where High Pressure is keeping all of the rain to the north but as we go to the end of the weekend, possibly we could start to see some changes. And im hoping we could at least get some rain in here by the middle of december, but this week is all dry. Looking at the forecast and our fmts mostly mid to upper 60s today and tomorrow. Those mornings are still going to be cold with some upper 30s heading through the end of the week its still going to be cool but well be watching out for increasing clouds on sunday and possibly some rain next monday. How is it looking for the commute . Well look at the wind advisory by the flag over in fremont. Take a look at our camera right there over off 880 and you do see that flag flapping around in the breeze so that does indicate theres more wind there than a few minutes ago when we were following that. As we look at the map its not causing a problem and you saw the traffic moving smoothly right where it says fremont there. Most of the bay shows a very easy, light drive. We are looking at the bay bridge toll plaza with metering lights on. Things are actually clearing up after an earlier disabled semi on the incline. Looks like thats cleared and also slowing for 980 getting over to 880. I think that incident has cleared but there was a crash reported. Well doublecheck on that. Back to you. All right, thank you very much, mike. 6 22 right now. It is the season of giving, but how easy is it to do during a pandemic and stay safe at the same time . Interesting to find out the answer and stick around. How two bay area women are making the job easier. Youre watching today in the bay. Welcome back to you. 6 25 right now. As temperatures drop, two women are helping hundreds of people in the east bay. Oh, i love this story, marcus. Cynthia owns a popup shop in martinez along with her partner. They wanted to start a way to keep people warm. So look at this. They collect jackets and they hang them on trees downtown in martinez for those in need to just go get them. The response has been so overwhelming both in donations and then people actually taking those coats. This was an opportunity for us to kind of give back. Its a rough time for everybody in general and certainly its cold and these jackets were just something that the Community Just loves and theyre responding to it. One random act of kindness can create a tidal wave and thats what were seeing. Thats like the most beautiful thing. Look at that. They just tie them to the trees and people can get them. The women have given away hundreds of jackets and they continue to take donations. They plan on hanging more coats at least twice before christmas. I would love to see this extend through the entire bay area. A beautiful sight. Trending for you that morning Robert Downey jr. Pay tribute to fellow marvel star Chadwick Boseman during mtvs movie and tv awards special. Take a look. The way he lived his life behind a higher purpose and that will be his legacy. The avengers of all have been given an opportunity to portray characters that are meaningful and hopefully memorable. Mr. Boseman truly embodied what it meant to be a superhero. Boseman was named hero for the ages. Mtv says, quote, that the awards honor a star whose heroes are on screen was only surpassed by the true hero they were. 6 27 right now. Back to our top stories, much of the bay area waking up to the strict new shelter at home order. Our live coverage resumes next. Reporter and coming up on today in the
