i have an overwhelming feeling of heaviness. >> it's my only job. i don't have another one. >> trying to stay spirited and cheerful for the patrons since it's our last day. it's a bit tough for all of us. >> shutdown 2.0. this round drawing strong pushback from local businesses who fear they won't be able to stay afloat. plus the key covid-19 meeting that might just kick off the first vaccine distribution in america. one of the country's top health experts is speaking one-on-one with "gma" this morning. >> it's december 7th. good morning to you. we start with meteorologist mike nicco and a red flag warning that is in effect. hi, mike. >> hi, reggie, kumasi, jobina. thanks for joining us on this

monday. it was noisy last night due to the winds. that's part of the equation for the red flag warning. outside the santa clara valley we're still dealing with the potential of damaging winds through at least 11:00 this morning. now, you factor in drier air that's rolling in after 11:00, that's why we have the red flag warning that's going to extend until 5:00. it does not include the santa clara valley. you're missing out on both of these. the san francisco bay shore and san francisco also not in the red flag warning. let's look at the winds right now, up in the higher elevations, still pushing well over 40 miles per hour. we've been up around 50 and 60 during the night. that's why it's been noisy in some neighborhoods. down at the surface, seeing 37 at half moon bay. 33 at fairfield. 24 in san francisco. 31 in santa rosa. this is also going to help us push into record territory this afternoon from 66 in half moon bay to 74 today in santa rosa and also in antioch -- i should

say also in fairfield. now, we have issues at our beaches and the potential fire threat in the seven-day forecast. that's coming up. here is reggie with more on today's red flag warning. >> all right. thank you. bay area firefighters were busy this weekend preparing for the potential fire danger that is stretching into today. red flag warnings in december are rare. the last one happened in 2017. so with winds through tonight, firefighters are remaining vigilant. >> i don't think any of us thought we would be up-staffing and moving into a red flag and wind advisory for december. it's not typical for the bay area. the concern for winds like this, they will likely bring trees down. >> pg&e planned public safety power shutoffs across northern california today but since the winds shifted a bit the utility opted to cancel most of those. no one in the bay area is expected to lose power. four bay area counties are under a stay-at-home order this morning. it's a proactive measure aimed to help stop the spread of covid-19. the order is in effect in

alameda, contra costa, santa clara and san francisco counties. marin will join tomorrow. the counties are getting ahead of the state's guidance which says they will reach that level because the icu level is at 15%. the lockdown is prompting changes that will last until january 4th at least. there's no more indoor or outdoor dining. restaurants can only do takeout and delivery. hair and nail salons are no longer able to operate. longer operate. there are no more indoor religious services. capacity at grocery stores can be 20%. wineries, entertainment centers and playgrounds are closed. while hiking trails are still open, parks, museums, campgrounds, visitor centers all closed. the impact of the order on your health and the economy are important to abc7 as we work to build a better bay area. abc7 news reporter julian glover is live at san pedro square in san jose. i though there's some mixed reactions to this. julian? >> yeah. certainly some mixed reaction here, kumasi, as many bay area counties including santa clara

county jumped the gun ahead of the state to try to save lives here. once again it's closing time for these businesses in santa clara county. many of them in the south bay hoping they will be able to reopen doors on the other side of what will hopefully be the governor's final stay-at-home order. we were out in san jose yesterday with people taking in the last of 2020. the last hair cut, the last chance to dine out at an outdoor patio for the year. restaurants were busy taking down dining now open signs as they once again shift to carry out and delivery only. the situation more dire for hair salons and barbershops. the owner of oh beauty studio in san jose already five months behind on her rent. >> if this closing kept happening, i can't afford to pay rent. i might have to close down my business and take the loss. >> i don't think that closing is the answer. i think having stiff guidelines would be far better than that.

>> we heard from some folks over at mr. and mrs. hair salon where cuts went late into the night. there were questions about the latest stay-at-home orders effectiveness. reporting live in san jose this morning, julian glover, abc7 news. >> thank you. not all of the bay area counties are implementing this early stay-at-home order. the counties in blue, napa, solano, san mateo and will be able to operate until the icu beds reach 15%. the bay area average is 24% icu capacity. some san francisco small business owners protested the city's new stay-at-home order in front of city hall. pfizer's vaccine could be approved within days. the fda is meeting to review it

it this thursday. the vaccine has been approved in the uk. the first round of vaccinations there begins tomorrow. here in the u.s., the white house will be holding a vaccine summit tomorrow. surgeon general dr. jerome adams was on "gma" this morning talking about the importance of getting vaccinated. >> we can ultimately end this pandemic but it doesn't matter if people won't get the vaccination. we know vaccine levels are only about 50% for adults for flu, and they go down to about 40% for african-americans. i'm working with historically black colleges and universities, faith communities, i'm working with the divine nine, the leaders of the african-american fraternities and sororities, working with hispanic leaders, we want everyone to get this vaccine when it's available. >> dr. adams also urges people to get the flu shot if they have not done that yet. you can watch his entire interview at 7:00 on "gma." abc7 is committed to keeping you informed about developments with the covid-19 vaccine. if you want to stay on top of the latest vaccine news, we

we have an issue with sneaker waves and rip currents through 5:00 this afternoon. but then look what happens from 5:00 this afternoon to 5:00 tomorrow afternoon. long westerly swell, 25-foot breakers, powerful waves that will run up dangerous surf, even more so than what we're dealing with most of today. so that's why you want to stay away from the water the next 36 hours or so. here's santa cruz, immune from that right now. your activity planner for today, if you're out exercising, be vigilant. we have the high fire danger. if you're out on the bay, it will be windy and choppy and that danger at our beaches. maybe it's a good day to study at home and work from home. at least he would know it's safer there. let's talk more about that commute and get jobina in here. >> good morning, everybody. we will start off with a live look showing the bay bridge toll plaza. i have a couple things to talk about with the bay bridge toll plaza. the chp issued a high wind

advisory for the bay bridge. metering lights are on. let me check out that time there. metering lights came on at 5:53 this morning. but we also have a semi stalled in one of the lanes on the upper deck of the bay bridge. for people coming into san francisco, you might run into a slowdown there. want to move over to a live look showing off the san mateo bridge here. we have -- looks like -- i think we'll bring up the san mateo bridge. i'm not sure. i wanted to check in on traffic there and tell you it is moving. now you can see it. live look here. no slowdowns to report. also we do have a crash that is in oakland as we bring in the maps here. two-car crash on westbound 980 before jackson, injuries involved here. at least two lanes are blocked right now. expect delays in the area as it

today is national pearl harbor remembrance day. it marks the anniversary of japan's attack on this day in 1941. this was the day in 1941 that the u.s. changed its stance about being involved in world war ii two years after it started. nearly 20 american vessels and more than 300 airplanes were destroyed or damaged and more than 2,400 americans died. another 1,000 were injured. today there will be a beacon ceremony on top of mount diab mb you can watch this starting at 4:30 today at new dramatics following a rescue on oregon's mounthood. the woman who fell into a vent on the side of the active

volcano is talking about "good morning america." carolyn sunbum was skiing down the volcano on friday when she plunged 15 feet into a vent on the side of a volcano that was emitting carbon dioxide and water. >> i was terrified. very concerned that the snow was going to fall in on me and suffocate me. >> a bystander saw her fall, pulled her out with a rope. she hurt her shoulder, otherwise she's okay. she said it could have been much worse if she didn't have a mel me helmet on. she's explain what other precautions she took coming up on "gma" after abc7 mornings. >> i have been to mounthood several times. i didn't know you could fall into it. >> in it. she dislocated her shoulder.

couldn't pop it back in. she went through a lot. >> wow. >> skiing on a slightly active volcano? >> shouldn't there be a sign up? >> something. >> you would think so. there's a sign for everything. that's true. good point, kumasi. i'm glad she's okay. never thought of that. that might be fun. skiing on a volcano. no? okay. the you can see the south bay is immune from the red flag warning, at least in the lower elevation, while the rest of us have to deal with those dangers. record warmth possible today and tomorrow. fire concerns could creep back into the forecast wednesday night into thursday. keeping an eye on this. this is all too familiar so far this rain season. look at that atmospheric river which is missing us once again.

it will cause flooding to the north. they'll have too much rain. if we could just tap into a bit of that, take the flooding away from them, get rid of the fire danger for us, it's not happening. it's feast or famine right now. you can see as we head through the morning, we're up to very high fire index danger across the north bay. the rest of us are high. over the next couple of hours, we'll be high in the befo before-mentioned areas, while the north bay could go up to extreme. getting to 5:00, you can see things starting to calm down. during the overnight hours, the fire threat will be minimized. let's talk about the byproduct of this dry air and breezes. when air moves from higher elevation to lower elevation, it tends to compress and heat. near record highs today. low to mid 70s out there. only places like livermore, lake port and half moon bay in parts of the peninsula in the mid to upper 60s. tonight will be cooler than this morning with the lack of breezes out there and the dry air.

mid to upper 30s in the deepest inland valleys. low to upper 40s for the bay and out towards the coast. my accuweather 7-day forecast, with a cooler start tomorrow. highs near record territory. we have a cooler afternoon wednesday, wednesday night into thursday, watching another fire threat, nothing official just quite yet from the national weather service as far as the advisory or warning. as we head into saturday and sunday, expect more cloud cover, a bit above average temperatures, just a slight chance saturday night into sunday of some light showers. so light no storm impact scale once again in the seven-day forecast. back to you. have a good day. >> thank you. we'll turn to ginger zee with a live look at what's coming up on "gma" at 7:00. good morning. [ no audio ]

>> that's not ginger. but what it is is goats who are apparently in the christmas spirit, friend, do you see them? >> i do. >> what are they doing? >> i don't know. that's booney and madalli munching on popcorn and enjoying "how the grinch stole christmas." the tennessee woman who cares for the goats runs a youtube channel called goat life. she documents different themed outfits they wear. when you're expecting ginger and see goats, it's a twist in your head. >> take a moment and take this all in. >> okay. >> this is a lot. >> nothing makes sense about anything that just happened over the past 60 seconds. okay. coming up, the 49ers with a huge home game on monday night football tonight. they will be playing in arizona though. >> and a male high school student suspended for wearing nail polish to school.

we have the power to harness california's abundant solar and wind energy, but it's not available all day long. use less energy from 4 to 9 pm for a cleaner california.

welcome back. with all the talk about the fire threat out there, let me tell you it is kind of a marginal fire threat, but something you still want to take seriously. let me explain why it's marginal. our winds are barely making it into that threshold that you can see this morning. up to 30 miles per hour to 50 miles per hour. by 9:00, they're still right there. look how quickly they taper by the time we head to noon. that's why the wind advisory ends at 11:00. the driest of the air will come in when the winds start to calm down at 11:00. while we have a heightened fire danger, it's not one of the worst ones we've had. thank you. the 49ers are gearing up for their home game in arizona

tonight. the niners are spending most of the month in the desert because of santa clara county's coronavirus restrictions. the 49ers face the bills at state farm stadium on monday night football. the niners are looking for another win after they beat the rams last week. you can watch the game on abc7 starting tonight at 5:00. you can join larry beil and derek deese for after the game at 8:15. marin county is trying to make it easier to get tested for covid-19. according to our media partner, the marin ij, a mobile covid-19 testing van may be soon making rounds at local schools and community centers. the mobile testing site would operate five days a week. participants would take a self-administered mouth swab test. a texas high school student is leading a call for change after he got suspended for wearing nail polish.

trevor wilkinson is on "gma" talking about it. >> it's to remove discrimination, sexism, homophobia, racism in small towns that feel like they can enforce a dress code or rules that completely go against how people feel and completely go against freedom of expression. more than 65,000 people signed a petition on change.org backing him up. the school district said parents and students are provided with a copy of the dress code at the start of the school year but appreciates the feedback it received and will take it into consideration. next at 6:30, one local man's dazzling driveway display. he does it every year for christmas and halloween. we're seeing what he has come up with this time. it was a busy weekend as businesses prepared for this next shutdown. i'm amy hollyfield, i'll have that story coming up. and stimulus stickup.

>> latinos are four times more likely to be hospitalized with covid-19, a rate higher than any other racial ethnic group. if confirmed by the united states senate, it will be a latino who will be leading these important efforts. >> if becerra's confirmed, governor newsom would have to fill multiple high ranking positions including vice president-elect kamala harris's senate seat. developing news on capitol hill, a covid-19 relief bill could be announced as soon as today. the proposal for a 9$908 billio package is expected to include an extra $300 per person in federal weekly unemployment benefits. it will also reauthorize the paycheck protection program to help struggling businesses. there will not be another $1,200 stimulus check issued to bank accounts. just ahead, rudy giuliani's battle with covid. the latest as president trump's personal attorney finds himself hit by the virus. and a live look at the big board and the new york stock exchange. we're starting the day off down. we'll check again in a few minutes.

hill. 45 in san jose. a few 50s around sunnyvale and also santa clara. look at those, 43 in lafayette to 58 in san francisco, napa 59. as we look at your planner for today, mainly 50s and 60s by 9:00. then most of us in the low to upper 60s at 11:00. then you can see the 70s creep in during lunch. and hanging out at 1:00, and spreading to more neighborhoods as we head to 3:00. if you're heading out this evening, by 7:we're ba00 we're n to 60 degrees. the winds are a big issue across the bridges this morning. a little choppy out on the bay. let's talk more about that with jobina. hi, jobina. >> hi, mike. thank you very much. good morning, everybody. happy monday to you. we are going to begin with a live look showing off the bay bridge toll plaza. metering lights came on there at 5:53. also it's a bit slow as you make your way across the bridge and into san francisco. at first we had a stalled

as you wake up life looks a little bit different for much of the bay area. four counties, alameda, contra costa, santa clara and san francisco counties are now under a stay-at-home order. marin county is right behind coming in at noon tomorrow. the counties say this is a proactive measure to hit the emergency brake on the rapid rise in covid-19 cases. now this is ahead of the state's

guidance which triggers the order once a region's icu capacity drops under 15%. right now the bay area region stands at about 24%, but that is projected to fall. southern california and the central san joaquin region are at or below single digits, and their orders went into effect over the weekend. these numbers are a byproduct of this. this chart showing you what our abc7 data team is following daily. the bay area's rolling average of new cases spiking faster than ever. much sharper than in the summer. the new order will have major effects on our local economy, which is something we're committed to covering during the pandemic as we work to build a better bay area. this morning julian glover is live at san pedro square in san jose hearing from business owner owners. >> we were out and about in san jose as people were taking in the last of 2020, the last chance to grab a hair cut for
