Sleeping. Joe i say joe biden took the lead over from President Trump in the Early Morning hours. Georgia his lead is only by about a 1000 votes in pennsylvania about 5500 votes, but theres still a few more left to count. So the conventional wisdom is that joe biden leads will continue to grow. But well have to wait and see how were not calling anything in the a p is not calling anything until the votes are actually counted. Like joe biden was saying, lets just wait and see these votes come in its monumental with the number of people who voted even the popular vote is huge where you can joe biden with almost 4 million votes over President Trump and the counting continues. We can to take a live look right now to get matter fact because yeah like the president said in that sound bite at the top of the hour about how the vote was being conducted. In secret. Well thats not necessarily case happened you can go to any basically any secretary of states website many of them have live stream. Cameras where you can watch the vote take place this is an example out of Maricopa County in arizona where President Trump is actually gaining on joe biden and not only can you watch the live feed but in every one of these whole counting locations you have poll watchers right 4 democrats 4 republicans and independents and they work in teams, they go around the inspect whats happening if theres any question if any one of those members of the of the watching committee has any issue with whats happening. They can raise their hand they can take a closer look at the ballot. They all come to a consensus and they continue with the count. So its not like these are being done in a secret room with nobody watching you yourself it cannot happen same thing with a in pennsylvania, you can actually just pull up a website and see the counting. As it happens and we saw more votes come in this morning. Theyre going to continue to update them and well update you as they come in. But theres also been some breaking news overnight out of pennsylvania philadelphia is investigating a plot to attack the Convention Center where votes are being counted and Robin Winston has more on that.

All in front of the house. They were there just screaming to the House Police Officers actually had to be called out they had barriers they had to watch the situation just to see if it was spread throughout the community.

Well and weve got much more on this story and all of the rest of the election stories around the bay and the nation on our website at kron 4 dot com. All right now lets get a check of the forecast the other big news event that you need to be worried about is the rain on the horizon just in time for the weekend john yeah, know just in time to interrupt your weekend plans. We will be seeing some showers tonight across the bay area mostly after 04 00pm across the day so that does mean your commute into work this morning is actually being accompanied by some pretty inviting conditions were cool were a bit on the breezy side. So dont forget the jacket as you are getting out there you look outside of tehran shows just some sunshine overhead we have had some high passing clouds but not really interrupting the sunshine just yet you can see a pretty quiet picture on satellite and radar right now but lets zoom out across the region and there you go theres those showers to our north and ive been telling you about mostly held up right against the oregon border and still pretty sparse as of this point but as i mentioned increasing after 04 00pm today, a breezy start to the morning and will remain windy throughout much of the day today. Temperatures right now are in the 50s and 60s that doesnt change a lot later on today will remain in the 50s and 60s even our warmest in the middle of the afternoon talking more about this weekend rain and of course the cooler temperatures still to come daryn james. Thanks a lot. It is 7 08 and another big story this out of the east bay Contra Costa County is going to be scaling back its reopening because of covid cases, yeah unfortunately, crawfords rain harvey live there in Contra Costa County. To explain good morning right now. Morning not the best news for the county here but i was looking at the number of cases in a july they had huge spike here and they start to get a handle on it gradually going down if you look at the numbers now in october and 2 november starting to go right back up there and so businesses you can see like out here along a creek. Already set up places outside because theyre no longer going to be able to have as many people indoors at a lot of these businesses so if you have a restaurant a Movie Theater or church. You can no longer have 50 capacity theyre going to bring that number down to 25 also when it comes to bars and outdoor areas. No longer allowing that at all unless you have a meal with that drink now been talking to people this morning and like i said people are going to split down the middle heres a one gentleman had to say about the reopening this. I think everybody just taking necessary precautions are just following the law or whatever the case may be. But if it is to future cases i think everybody take to missus no matter how long does it take. Larger better sooner later a right so the gentleman actually works out here wannacry can you say and he you know understands a lot of people need work in jobs and things like that the numbers here as of todays date 250 people have died here in Contra Costa County so thats what officials are looking at they dont want that number to get any higher, but it still remains to be seen if this scale that doesnt have any change on those numbers so well be watching closely will be bringing you those updates for now reporting here in walnut creek way to harvey on for news all right. Thank you very much asked whose remains stuck at home and studying from home their grades are falling at an alarming rate. This is apparently because there are so many distractions they get in the way they area School Districts, including the sequoyah Union High School district in redwood city say that failing Distance Learning has become more common allen sarver a trustee with that district says students with one failing grade or more jumped 19 last year now its 29 this year. To 50 increase and its. You know its a meaningful increase number that is fairly representative but not something that were proud of or positive about to a number that substantially higher. Mount diablo unified School District in Contra Costa County and School Officials in Sonoma County have also seen a similar spike in their failing students. Educators say that a big problem with Distance Learning is what they call zoom fatigue where students have trouble focusing on their screens. East bay, we have 3 Elementary Schools in berkeley that will be welcoming students back in small groups for in Person Learning rosa parks, malcolm x and jefferson Elementary Schools will be opening back up on monday with face masks required. Students are actually going to be split up into 2 groups and the alternate some will do long Distance Learning. The others are going to be on campus and then those sort of flipflop back and forth the remaining 8 schools from grades pre k to 5 that remain close will reopen on january 13th. At this point theres no set target date for when middle schools and high schools will begin in Person Learning but School Officials say it could take weeks or months to come up with a plan for them to reopen. Its 7. 11 and coming up next on the kron 00 00am morning news were live in las vegas where the votes are still coming in as we speak, changing the balance in this president ial election.

Have some you know because i like that because when i heard that i knew rain was on the way well have to add some sparkle looking at quite the change from where we have been for a long time now which of course has been all these dry skies. Were still looking at sunshine this morning, your view across the bay from sausalito down at San Francisco showing you all the sunshine weve got there and sfo this morning is also looking quite sunny. It was a bit of a foggy start for us yesterday and then it was a record breaker of an afternoon up to 80 degrees at sfo today. Well be lucky if you hit the low 60s, a full 20 degree drop in temperatures across much of the bay this is due to a plunge of cool air across the west coast and along with it potential of some shower activity 10 45pm tonight here on future cast and looking at some showers looking likely across the bay at this point and also looking at some snowfall up in the Sierra Nevada in blue right there that snowfall could interrupt your travel if youre heading that direction, im anticipating areas Like Yosemite National Park getting up to a foot of it and that definitely going to be making for some slick conditions now into tomorrow we start the morning with a few isolated showers tomorrow afternoon looks to be dry. But just as cool as we will be today temperatures in the 50s and 60s well throughout this forecast even honor sunnier days. Sunday, a couple of sprinkles could remain, but by the afternoon showers should be said and done across the region. How much rain can we be looking at here well rainfall totals look to be pretty light for most areas, especially the north bay just a trace of rainfall for most areas Oakland Hayward in pacifica as of right now models are showing you sing the greatest potential up to a quarter of an inch of rain again these totals are still pretty light at our greatest but were enough of it to see some wet roadways and some slick conditions at times across the region, especially slick once you head up into the sierra we will have our first winter storm warnings and advisories of the season so far warnings in red watches in blue as we see inches to up to feet of snowfall piling up make sure to bring your chains with you if you are heading that direction for the weekend ahead. High temperatures today will only rise into the 50s and 60s as i mentioned a noticeable about cooler than yesterday especially for those inland areas were daytime highs yesterday. Were still well up into the 80s and today in some cases only in the upper 50s to low 60s for livermore its a drop of over 20 degrees down to 59 degrees today hayward also at 59. Well oakland sharing that same number with you richmond at 62 walnut creek at a warm, but are a comfortably cool 64 degrees, warmer compared to the rest of the bay area fairfield the also be at 64 while santa rosa at only 59 point raise in Stinson Beach in the mid 50s, heres a look ahead at the next 7 days. You notice how temperatures from this point out not warming back up we are staying cool in the 50s and 60s for the foreseeable future here best chances of rainfall will be later today, mostly after sunset tonight, slight chance of showers on sunday and then another chance of rain after that into thursday of next week. Stay with us how do i use better than bouillon . I just add a spoonful to my marinades. To stir frys. Sauces. Just whisk it in. Brush it on. Saute it. It adds a cooked all day taste. That doesnt take all day. Better than bouillon. Dont just make it. Make it better because when i get home, we like to play crocodile on the floor. Promist maxs pad removes over 99 of bacteria, with just water. Better cleaning with less waste. Ocedar. It feels great to feel at home. Breaking news, the numbers are changing as we speak this morning, yeah they keep coming in for all these states that are still too close to call that includes nevada. Georgia pennsylvania. And in the wee hours this morning we had a big shift in the basically the the polls to one candidate or the other we had georgia and pennsylvania go towards joe biden as he now is in the lead when you look at the vote count, its still small but hes in the lead and not shifting is the president s stance on whats going on lets go live to washington dc now. Basal john is covering the latest there. Hi basal. Good morning guys sing. Yes, the latest information as you just said is that former Vice President joe biden has taken advantage in taking the lead in the state of pennsylvania, currently with more than 5,000 more ballots on the way to be counted. This follows the news we learned around 5 oclock this morning that biden taking control of georgia but only with a very small difference of more than 1000 votes to his name now when youre looking at it from the Bigger Picture both the president and the former Vice President had a very different ways of looking at these changing polls that been going on. But theres been a lot of shenanigans and we cant stand for that in our country President Donald Trump of the election process in question claiming democrats told votes if you count the legal votes. I easily win. If you count the illegal votes. They can try to steal. The election from us this accusation comes after the country saw a major shift some votes in some battleground states such as pennsylvania georgia and nevada. Former Vice President joe biden says the voting process should be respected it is the will of the voters. No one not anything else to choose is the president United StatesAm
