up that story radar just a lit up this oakland we're still watching for you really is going to be oakland on 80 as you make your way into san francisco or san francisco and oakland, whichever way you're going pocket a showers just moving south of you about a quarter of an inch an hour or so out. still sloppy commute probably on a t as the cell move south for the next 20 minutes. we'll continue to watch and quinton about a quarter of an inch. a little less than that right there near 5.80, coming down for you right now as we speak. and then to the east that we're still watching right here, all of this snow. so if you're headed to the sierra, we could see about 2 to 6 inches of snow. but in some places elevated of a 7200 feet, we could actually see a foot of snow. last time i checked, they were not screening for chains on 50, but they were screening for chains on trucks on 80 just to set that tone. so in addition to the snow in the mountains and the rain that we're going to here, probably about a quarter inch to some spots. we are receive

some rain the past couple of days. santa rosa close to an inch and a half san francisco, less than a quarter of an inch and richmond right there at very close to half an inch on top of a couple past weeks some places had 4 inches of rain. our water, you're actually starts in october and it's good to let up there right. on a serious note, you have a coastal flood warning that expires at 2 and we've been showing you throughout the newscast just south of us. more on the santa cruz area. just the damage that's been done. what those waves, again, we could see up to 40 feet waves. that could be a potential for us to. so we have those dangerous conditions. want to make sure you and your family stay out of the water. and when you're parking, make sure to not part by the coast, if you can, because near santa cruz. again, we're showing you just suvs knocked over just from those a gusty conditions and those dangerous waves and flooding temperatures right now. still chillier than and we're going to really struggle to get to the 60's. some places will get to the 60's like santa rosa. fremont mountain view. everybody else.

the average price for a bar ticket is going to be raising by $0.23. the fare increase was approved by bart board of directors. the board deciding to deviate from its usual policy of approving a fare increase every 2 years. instead, increasing fares, january 1st by 5.5%. and then again, next year by the same rate, they say to cushion the economic impact to their writers. so here is what you can expect. again, the average fare will increase by $0.23 a 12 mile trip from downtown berkeley to the embarcadero, for example, will increase by $0.25. and the longer the trip is the higher the increase will be a 45 mile trip for an antioch to montgomery street will increase by $0.40 for your total dollars and $0.60. so starting on january first as well. the transit agency is starting their clipper start program for low-income riders. e based fair discount for bart will increase from 20 to 50%. meaning low income riders will

state shirley weber to explore every legal option. but weber decided this week not to exclude him from the state's ballot saying in a letter that she must place the sanctity of elections above partisan politics, maybe more to the point her boss, governor newsom, had already said trump should stay on the ballot saying trump should face defeat by voters. another argument, remember, donald trump has not been convicted of any charge involving the insurrection. he hasn't been convicted. >> and there's a reason are going to made that since the 14th amendment is about due process. process should be attached to any determination. on the other hand, section 3 of the 14 amendment also seems the state. by virtue of the fact that you are participating in insurrection, you are automatically disqualify unless congress gives you exemption by two-thirds last week, colorado state supreme court ruled that trump was an eligible. >> to run for president citing

the insurrection, a span of the constitution's 14th amendment. then this week, the main secretary of state said that she would bounce trump from that state's ballot. i'm mindful that new secretary of state has ever deprived. you can debate about access under section 3 of the 14th amendment. >> but no presidential candidate has ever engaged insurrection. >> both the main and colorado decisions are on hold until january. 4th until the trump team can seek a u.s. supreme court review. but political analyst michael yaki is not so sure that trump is in any hurry to make that happen by concealing. is that the trump campaign. >> doesn't want us to go into supreme court because if they lose, they lose everywhere. right now they're losing in a couple states that they probably aren't counting in their electoral valley configuration. i think they're when they're quite willing to

serve protests to like make a lot of noise fundraise off it let it go. >> and that was catherine heenan reporting for us this morning. colorado's republican party is also asking the supreme court to get involved if the supreme court does eventually agreed to decide whether states can borrow trump, it would be an unprecedented case and a huge focus of the 2024 campaign. with the new year comes new tax brackets. the rs is putting in place higher limits for federal income tax bracket starting on monday. this means americans may be able to retain more of their income brackets are increasing by about 5.4% for both individual and mary filers. the new bracket starts at just over $609,000. the irs says the reason for this change is to address inflation. >> it's never going a all right. >> keep up all the way. because what they're doing is is again, they're making us a one-time and the fall.
