have visibility as low as a couple hundred feet around sfo and petaluma. it's going to be here for the entire morning commute. and as you look at the breezes, this will slide slowly south so it could fill in parts of the east bay shoreline also. but i don't think it is going to quite get over to the east bay valleys. this afternoon, a touch of haze behind, but definitely sunglass weather. above average temperatures. low to mid 60s. 61 to 65 around the bay. 58 to 66 along the coast. more on this first day of meteor logical winter coming up. here's reggie. the cdc will meet with the top health advisors to discuss a possible covid-19 vaccine. the fda could approve pfizer's vaccine as early as next week. how the cdc will decide who gets priority. >> how much good are you going to do? how many lives are you going to save? second. what is fair. what is the fair way to do it.

in to a cvs or walgreens and get vaccinated. >> mu derna is also on track to produce 20 million doses for the entire country. also by the end of december, monday morning the company announced that like pfizer it has applied for federal emergency authorization of their vaccine. that ucsf doctor you just heard from he stresses while 327,000 doses of the pfizer vaccine may seem small when you compare it to california's population of 39 million people, this is very's bucket. lives will surely be saved. reporting live, julian glover, abc7 news. governor newsom says if current trends continue he may reinstate the stay-at-home order for counties in the purple tier. >> it will require and we are assessing this in realtime over the next day or two to make determinations of deep purple moves.

entire commute. after 9:00, it will start to fade away. highway 116 is what sue said. 58 at half moon bay and everybody else from 62 in san francisco to 68 in santa rosa. temperatures anywhere from 2 to 9 degrees warmer than average today. all right. let's get some news and send it back to, let's send it to reggie. most of us in the bay area are now in the purple tier which means we have a nightly curfew. we can't go inside gyms or movie theaters and dining is outdoor only. yet, it could actually get more restrictive. the governor is hinting of another lockdown. and one of the key indicators he's looking at the shrinking number of icu beds. with more on that, we goe to ab7 news reporter amy hollyfield in walnut creek. amy? >> reggie, he is saying we all need to stay home so icu beds don't fill up. here's the numbers governor newsom is tracking.

75% of california's icu beds are now occupied with the state setting records two days in a row. more than 1,800 people are in intensive care. the governor's worried that icus could be overflowing in the next couple of weeks. so, he is considering a stay-at-home order. >> it will require and we are assessing this in realtime over the next day or two to make determinations of deep purple moves in those purple tiered status that is more equivalent, more in line with the stay-at-home order that folks were familiar with in the beginning of this year. >> now, the governor typically mentions that he is thinking about something like issuing a curfew before he does it. so, it does seem likely that he will be issuing this order now that he has mentioned it. he hasn't said when he will decide or what it would look

like but the last stay-at-home order back in march stated that we should only leave our homes for central business like the grocery store or if you're an essential worker or for exercise. live in walnut creek, amy hollyfield. >> perfect segue to marin county where everyone working out at this particular gym has to watch the clock because this is the only county in the red tier which means indoor workouts are still allowed but only have 10% capacity. this gym tells us demand is high. as the clock counts down, the workouts speed up every hour all the customers have to leave so new ones can come in. we spoke with the owner of a coffee shop who is not letting customers dine in, even though the guidelines allow it. >> i would never allow a customer to even sit here. if i'm going to purchase more, would you just close your eyes one side and open the other side. no can do. i'm doing this not just because for me and you, but for our

community as a whole. >> marin county reported nearly 60 new cases sunday. the county may still be in the red tier because it tests twice as many people as the state average. covid-19 has hurt small businesses across california and now governor newsom has announced a relief program and that includes grants that will keep them going until state lawmakers can build an even bigger package. >> these are grants up to $25,000. this program will be bridged just over the next number of weeks. to what we will work on with the legislature in the next legislative session. >> tap into the reserve fund to provide the grants for organizations and extend the deadline for companies that owe less than $1 million in sales tax. the cdc has issued a warning against travel to mexico. the country recently surpassed more than 1 million cases and you are looking at a test site in mexico city. a popular tourist destination for americans who want to enjoy

vacation without restrictions. you see, unlike hawaii and the caribbean, mexico does not require tourists to present a negative covid-19 test. a san diego couple knows what it is like to travel first hand. jose and gloria ended up hospitalized with covid-19 after a trip. they went last month and their daughter said they were wary about the virus and wanted to use airfare credits that were about to expire. >> their trip postponed two or three times when all of this started and they didn't want to lose the money so they decided to go this time. >> the couple wore goggles, masks, face shields while sight seeing and eating at restaurants and still they got sick. about a week into their vacation. jose was flown back to the u.s. to be treated at a va hospital. he is on a ventilator. gloria was hospitalized in mexico for several days and she is now quarantining at an air bnb. california's vaccine vision.

munt e mountain view to 45 in san jose. head up the east bay shore and some fog is starting to sneak up to castro valley where it is 37 and most temperatures here in the mid 40s. let's take a look else where and you can see the thick fog on the peninsula and all the way up to the north bay santa rosa. 31 degrees and fog in the air. that's why you have black ice. 33 in pleasanton from one of the cooler spots and the east bay and look at blush this morning. got a new name on twitter. it's 45 degrees as you look down from sutro tower. widespread fog the only real issue for the commute and that is just for the morning. let's look at this stubborn area of low pressure and pushing the jet stream so far into canada and up near alaska. getting rain in places they should be getting snow. we saw a storm come close to us wednesday and falls apart and just brings us extra clouds thursday and cools us a little bit. another storm system looking close saturday and you cann ese
