Around the corner which as you guys mentioned could cause a lot of us across the bay area problems, especially if you are in one of those areas. We could lose power as fire danger increases, looking outside this morning at least we do have a beautiful start to the day. Its dark but it is very clear out there to kick off this morning, pretty calm for now, but winds pick up tonight across especially the coast and across the north bay, those winds will gradually spread be really widespread for portions of the in one north bay into the inland, the east bay by the time we work our way into wednesday and thursday now these winds paired with increasingly warm temperatures means fire danger is going to be of concern vacaville atlas peak Calistoga Sonoma seeing winds gusting regularly and into a 20 to 30 Miles Per Hour range that paired with low humidity and hot temperatures of so theres a lot this season way too much is going to result in the high fire danger out right now temperatures 40s 50s 60s depending on where youre at some of our cooler spots are in the north bay little bit warmer in San Francisco alameda and timber on in those low to mid 60s later on today, it will be 80s to even low 90s so beginning to warm up ahead of even warmer days ahead of us. Robin. Thank you john a long line at the bay bridge toll plaza this happened within the last 5 minutes or so now its backed up and we also have a of course thats adding to the slowdown the crashes 80 west after Treasure Island. So its on the suspension youre right lane is blocked, its backed up through the tunnel and now in stretches from the eastern span the pay gates beyond the att overcrossing and now to west grand so that was pretty quick 14 minutes and growing to make it into San Francisco Road Construction wrapping up in fremont northbound 6. 80 in washington, its still very sluggish from mission south. An overturned crash still active in the lay how if you take 80 east and you plan on heading in that direction. The right lane is blocked there with that overturned crash with stacking up a little bit as you approach the scene back to you. All right, thank you robin. Lets get to our big story this morning people bracing for maybe the power to be shut off pg and e is releasing more details about which areas could be impacted. Yeah, this is one of those proactive power shut off conference sara stinson live for us in Sonoma County with what we know so far. This morning, sarah. Yeah thats right p jeannie making these proactive decisions because of the wildfire danger and the weather conditions were seeing this speak specifically tomorrow afternoon. So that is when the power will be shut off if this power shut off goes into place affecting over 22,000 pg e customers take a look at your screen theyve released how many customers in each of the bay area counties affected im live here in Sonoma County you can see all the other counties on your screen alameda contra costa santa clara son, the tail and then on the next slide you can see napa sonoma and solano this again due to those hot and dry conditions paired with the expected high wind gusts which causes major wildfire danger. The highest probability areas are the north bay mountains near mount saint helene a small pockets in the east bay near mount diablo the Oakland Hills east of piedmont portions of the santa cruz area this is how you can prepare take a look at your screen make sure to have gallons of water available with nonperishable foods. Flashlights extra batteries, those portable phone chargers well if you have a generator, the good tip is practiced using it before the power outage to make sure youre using it correctly. And of course have a go bag ready of course this is all because of wildfire danger so if youre in this area, means youre near an area that is prone to wild fire or has dry fuels or thats why the pg era worried about that area now i talked with a pg spokesperson to kind of dig into the weeds a little bit more about who is specifically affected. So right now we are multiple areas that have the potential for impact, although please no. We would not be impacting entire regions it would just be pockets of areas. So if you live in one of those counties we showed you earlier doesnt mean youre necessarily one of those customers is going to be without power you should have been notified already theyve been telling their customers that this is a potential to be happening wednesday afternoon and they expect to get another notification sometime today probably in the afternoon 24 hours in advance because again the time in which the power would be shut off is wednesday afternoon and you get a call attacks an email some kind of notification but for now all we can do is come prepared.

Lets go to her live now to see more about what we can expect in day 2 of these hearings jesse. Good morning just as yesterday was able to indicate from everyones Opening Statements the focus today quickly turned to the upcoming case of the Affordable Care act thats going to be before the u. S. Supreme court just one week after election day. Chairman lindsey graham, a republican who is also up for reelection this year started off the hearing today by attacking the Affordable Care act saying that his state of South Carolina does not wanted and then his counterpart at the top democrat californias Dianne Feinstein started off her statements in her questioning. So in support of the Affordable Care act worried that barrons confirmation to the nations highest court would essentially put that in jeopardy for millions of americans we did see yesterday how Democrats Use posters with the faces of americans on them who they said you know could potentially lose their health care of barrett was confirmed, but were hearing today, republicans just continuing to push back on that and really trying to show you threw their line of questioning that bear it doesnt come into this in a partisan way she comes to this as a kind of fair and impartial juror as a judge it was interesting during her Opening Statement yesterday she you know made mention of that that like in the mold of. Antonin scalia that she could make decisions that may be run counter to her personal views, but that you know thats the job is to separate your role as justice the Supreme Court with your personal views you think that was that resonated with any of the democrats on the panel. They were probably listening closely to that, but i think that theyre still almost it looking back on President Trumps words and said of her words we heard that a lot yesterday with them referring to President Trump saying that hes essentially appointing barrett to the kind you know to the Supreme Court in hopes that she overturns the Affordable Care act he wants it eliminated and so he made it very clear from the get go that thats essentially why he was appointing her and so shes kind of in this difficult space here as you know as a judge trying to come across as impartial and so yeah itll be interesting to hear how she kind of feels these very partisan questions today all right, thanks a lot just see. Were covering it live if you want to watch the hearings just go to kron 4 dot com and we have an uninterrupted live stream right there for you.

As you saw he offered to move the microphone back but then when he insisted on taking asking her the protests of the reporters he obviously walked off. We do know that some senators have recently contracted covid19 and reporters as well and thats why theres a lot of heightened sensitivity to making sure everybody follows the Health Protocols in the Capitol Building well President Trump is back on the campaign trail.

No delays yet at the richmond sandra fell its still wide open to the north bay and check out this heavy traffic earlier i talked about your crash thats wrapping up 84 west before 6. 80 thats still working so its going to be a tough commute. Leaving livermore backed up to just about to dallas eagles roads you going to be sitting in for miles of heavy traffic until they clear that crash your 6 ad but its a little slow someone dropped a load of with debris south 6 idiots and all boulevard so theyre running traffic breaks to clear that for you so its a little heavy now 19 minutes, 6. 80 south from dublin to fremont were checking highway for up to 22 minutes antioch to concord and the minor crowding on the nimitz rolling south 26 minutes and growing from san leandro to milpitas back to you. Thanks a lot rob, and its 6. 48 and High School Football is still on hold for schools all across california but for one Southern California school. Its not the boys who are disappointed, its the girls nancy loo explains. This is the extent of the action these days on the football field of garfield high in east l a it is usually a stage for a competitive football program. When the garfield bulldogs play this year it will be a season like no other hi, my name is both of us tonight, latest year for offense and safety for their members and police law receiver hi im katie lopez in my place lot receiver hiring genzlers i play wide receiver is ever money all center. Yes, she said center and these are just 5 of curls on the garfield Varsity Football Team which remain socially distanced with home workouts and the season currently postponed until january there is clear disappointment. These girls have been playing tackle football for years they want to be back in pads and inaction i love the sport i love the job of a journalist when youre running getting tackled getting knocked on the ground starting back up this. Probably one of the most one something that i really like to do you know. Well guys remain the majority on the garfield team which is fielded girls before along with other schools in the district, this is the first year with so many girls honestly dont see a difference. All i know is that the put the nano work that i put in or maybe even more quarterback jason vargas described the team as a family and according to one of his lineman performances valued above all else. But all the bottom make a play. And thats all that matters to us on the matter me and my job my job as a buffer them i thought i dont matter me i feel like every girl on this team has earned their spot and were just here because we love the game as long as its a person under that home and we dont judge and the football tradition is serious here garfield is consistently ranked in the top 10 theyve been in the playoffs for 19 years straight. And theyve also won city championship. These athletes can thrive regardless of their gender veteran coach Lorenzo Hernandez believes the girls are strengthening the program the new mentality has been a paradigm shift that you give every kid an opportunity in creating environment. Which theyre going to enjoy regardless of their gender i think these kids want to come in and put in the work they do exactly what the other gender does why not coaches discipline has the same exact way the discipline, the guys. If the guys go out there and theyre doing very cross were doing very cross. Theyre doing pushups were doing pushups. Its the same working their way into key positions on the varsity team has made the garfield Girls Community influencers after season, there was some girls from other schools that are going to start coming in from middle school. But they wanted to play football. The reason being because theres girls on the football team, they mean want to play regardless of who you are. Usual to our program and youre going to get coached open develop so you can be competitive and has nothing to do with her gender just like most of the guys the girls may not get to play beyond high school but they played the sport, they loved im going to look back and think this is a really important time in my life and help me learn so many lessons to be successful in life because im being successful in football.
