yesterday got awfully foggy by about 9:00 so we could see a similar situation, a live look outside, exploratorium camera, cold with fog in spots mainly sunny today, as winter arrives tomorrow, there is a system that's going to move into northern california so we'll offer up some clouds through the bay area, not until monday night, though, and we'll pick up on that in a moment. as we look at your sunday forecast, we've got the clear conditions. you can see some of the fog right through 11:00, lingering there by fairfield and as we get to the evening hours we're cold again. here is your monday in the morning, we're sunny but as we get towards late in the day, the evening hours, that's when we're going to see the clouds increase. this is the first day of winter, we could see maybe a few sprinkles up here in the north bay, otherwise the system continues to really offer up the moisture to the north and east of us, and we'll see a few clouds with it. as we get into the latter part of the week, that looks more promising. midweek it's quiet out there.

this is wednesday into christmas eve and then into your christmas day. here it is late in the day, where we could see some showers, some mountain snow, and then the next system looks to arrive perhaps late in the weekend as well. it's looking weak, and it's not 100% certain, so hopefully that pans out. as for today, we're back into our pattern of the afternoon highs getting a bit milder, so very cold to start, but then looking at that 63 in oakland today, feels pretty good by about 2:00, 3:00, 62 in fremont. mid-60s in morgan hill, one of the warmer locations, and here once again, the overnight lows with the cold conditions, and the fog, certainly perhaps to the east of us, and maybe up in the north bay. the accuweather seven-day forecast from the upper 50s to the mid-60s today, sunny and mild afternoon, winter arrives tomorrow, clouds increase late, maybe a few sprinkles into tuesday. behind that system breezy for tuesday afternoon and wednesday,

for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa

as we near the end of the year we've been looking back at important people and stories that have shaped 2020. in july we took an in-depth look at marin county. latinos made up nearly 80% of covid-19 cases despite being just 16% of the county's population. it's the largest racial disparity of any county in the bay area. one of the people who has been at the heart of addressing this issue is omar carrera, ceo of the canal alliance in san rafael who is joining us now to talk about where things currently stand in the county. omar, good to see you.

>> good to see you, thank you for the invitation. >> thank you. so omar, why has the latino community in marin disproportionately impacted and have we seen any improvements over the last five months? >> there's multiple reasons why that happened, starting from the historically inequities that created the perfect environment for the virus to spread quickly. latinos are the essential workers of the county so they've been more exposed by the nature of the job they perform so we have continued working on education, making sure the testing is available for the community, and it has been improvements in that area. >> we talk about what's changed, though, i think right now it's 60% of cases in the county are among latinos. so we have seen some improvement. talk about the change that we've seen since the summer. >> i think definitely testing and education. the community is also participating actively in distributing masks among their friends and families, and all of that has helped, the economic

crisis that was created by the health crisis has become now a major barrier for people to continue getting access to testing. people are desperate. the debt accumulation is growing fast in relationship to the fact they cannot pay their rent. as you know, the latino community was not making no money even before the pandemic so post pandemic they have lost their jobs, they have lost hours of work and they're not making enough money to pay the rent. >> i know you told me i think more than 10,000 families right now are at imminent risk of eviction. so what kind of help are you seeking for these families? >> it's a combination of programs that will allow us to pay back their debt. we are looking at rental assistance, looking at zero percent interest loans for the

people that are able to pay, to use a loan as an instrument to pay their debt and also advocating for local policies. the last ten months we were focusing on the health crisis in particular but the economic crisis that was being built parallel to the health crisis has been coming as i mentioned like a huge tsunami coming our way and we really need to not separate the health crisis from the economic crisis so if we want to reopen our economy, we need to work towards the common good. we need to make sure the people who need the most has access to everything that they need to survive, to take care of their families, to pay the rent, unless we don't do that, we are going to have those hard times opening in 2021. >> omar carrera with canal alliance, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you for the invitation. and still to come on "abc 7 mornings," congress still trying to agree on a covid-19 relief package. why democrats and republicans believe a deal can get done today.

the fog in the north bay, we have that strong radiational cooling and notice the storm track is well up into the pacific northwest. so here's a look at the visibility, quarter-mile santa rosa, novato, half mile by the delta. four miles in concord, eight miles in livermore. san jose is looking okay although it is cold out there. nice view here from mt. tam, where it's nice and clear. the fog is further north. it is 47 downtown, 38 in oakland. so you've dropped a few degrees there. 34 mountain view. 37 san jose, 38 in morgan hill with 41 on the coast and this is our walnut creek camera, the sun coming up at about 7:21, and setting at 4:54 so that's 9:33 of daylight today. 34 santa rosa. 32 freezing in novato with upper 30s in napa and low 30s for new livermore. certainly cold out there, with the fog once again. it's going to take towards about

10:00, 11:00 for this to lift. suto a little bit of haze so cold temperature, foggy spots this morning and mainly sunny for this afternoon. winter arrives tomorrow, late day tomorrow increasing clouds with a weak weather system that is going to push to the north and east of us, and it will provide a few extra clouds monday night. we're clear today for your sunday afternoon, and as we get into your monday, the possibility exists for a few sprinkles late monday, perhaps through the overnight hours, picking this up at we go through the early part of the week, there's that weak system, and then by tuesday we could see some breezy winds behind the system, into wednesday. queueing up for christmas eve is that system that will bring perhaps widespread rain into the bay area for your christmas night, ending saturday morning. looks like we could see another system by the end of the weekend. so hopefully we'll get some much-needed rain out of this, nothing to bring us up to where we should be for this time of year. the deficit is just too large at

this point. temperatures in the low 60s in fremont. 62 in san jose. 61 later on this afternoon in richmond, with those cool upper 50s downtown. tonight, once again, dropping back into the 30s with fog and n our east bay, perhaps in our north bay. low 40s around oakland and the accuweather seven-day forecast looking at sunny and mild today. winter arriving tomorrow, increasing clouds late monday, maybe a few sprinkleless ins iny tuesday. breezy winds on wednesday and thursday but the next item of concern would be the rain arrivi arriving. it will be light if we see it, liz, a level one system for the scattered showers. >> we'll take what we can get. lisa, thank you. abc 7 news dedicated this past week what you need to know about the vaccines, while the race to vaccinate a majority of americans against covid-19 is under way, there are many unknowns, including how long it will take and if the months do drag on, could it lead to a kind of viral divide? so abc 7 morning news anchor

kamasi aron examines what life could be like in the world of vaccine haves and have nots. >> reporter: it's the dream on the horizon, a world without masks where you glide through the airport or sit down to dinner wherever you want. the question now is, will you need a so-called vaccine passport to get there, proof that you've had the shot? some experts say it doesn't have to. >> if it comes out with a relatively high acceptance rate, like 60%, 70% of people, miller time. we're done. >> reporter: what if vaccinations begin to slow? infectious disease expert dr. george rutherford of ucsf says the problems would begin if many months go by and some groups still have trouble getting a shot, or a significant number choose not to, leaving us short of the majority needed to reach an overall herd immunity. at that point, some worry about a potential scenario of vaccine

haves and have nots. >> you're the ones get to see the giants play, you're the one who will get to go to the a's game, the one who gets to go to a restaurant and to the movie theater. you're the one that united airlines is going to let on the plane. >> reporter: and airline trade group is finalizing plans for a vaccine travel pass and the department of defense has released images of a vaccination record card for vaccine recipients. could they become the calling cards of a temporarily split society? >> i'm not sure i believe in airlines or restaurants doing that. i think that instead, let's get people vaccinated as fast as we can. >> reporter: fellow ucf infectious disease expert dr. monica gandhi reports researchers haven't determined whether vaccinated people could still be infectious for a time and believes precautions will be critical in the months to come, even with increased pressure to return to normal. >> they continue to wear their masks until everyone, enough of

the people are vaccinated, like you said, so that we can get to herd immunity. >> reporter: to speed that time line, some have suggested mandates vaccinations as soon as they're available for students returning to school, possibly accelerating the drive toward herd immunity. berkeley professor arthur reingold is hoping that won't be necessary. >> well, i always prefer incentives and knowledge and to mandates, mandates are very unpopular although mandates tend to get the job done. >> reporter: they believe getting vaccines distributed as quickly and widely as possible is the key to avoiding potentially fractured months with the prospect of passport privileges and vaccine haves and have nots. >> you know, i think that's how we're going to, where we're going to end up with infection rates dropping. >> reporter: and perhaps ultimately realizing the elusive dream of return to normal. in san francisco, kumasi erin, abc 7 news. >> you'll find the stories online at abc7news.com/vaccine.
