across the north bay later on this morning into the afternoon hours. it will be well after the morning commute is over. we have a bit of fog out there in the central valley and mainly up in the north bay where it normally is this time of year. we'll keep an eye on the east bay as the winds are drawing a bit east to west. some of that could move in to the eastern and northern parts of contra costa county. de definitely not as widespread as yesterday. moderate and light showers and the storm will be weakening as it moving north to south across our neighborhoods. there's little to no rain across the south bay. sutro tower is clear, 46 degrees. we'll see increasing clouds through the morning. best chance of showers up through noon, mainly in the north bay and then for the rest of us 4:00, that's it. it's almost over by 4:00. by 7:00, it's a distant memory. we'll start talking about tomorrow's rain. we'll do that when we come back in a few minutes with the accuweather 7-day forecast. >> all right. thank you. we have developing news to share with you in georgia where

history is being made this morning. voters in that state elected their first black senator. abc news is projecting reverend raphael warnock is the winner over incumbent kelly loeffler. the other senate race at this point is still too close. democrat jon ossoff hosts a slim lead over the current republican senator, david perdue. 98% of precincts are reporting at this point. this morning elizabeth schulze is live in atlanta with the state of these races. good morning. >> good morning. so this comes down to now one seat for the democrats left to flip to take control of the senate. that race between jon ossoff and david perdue, currently jon ossoff is leading by 16,000 votes, it's very tight. this comes on the heels of a historic victory for democrats here with reverend raphael warnock set to become the state's first black senator. this morning democrats one step closer to taking control of the

u.s. senate. abc news now projects democratic challenger reverend raphael warnock will defeat republican incumbent senator kelly loeffler in one of georgia's runoff races. >> every day i'm in the united states senate i will fight for you. >> reporter: warnock is a prominent black preacher at ebenezer baptist church in atlanta. a pulpit that once belonged to dr. martin luther king junior. warnock acknowledged his historic role as georgia's first elected black senator. >> i come before you tonight as a man who knows the improbable journey that led me to this place in this historic moment in america could only happen here. >> reporter: it's a opponent a staunch ally of president trump not giving in. >> we have a path to victory, we're staying on it. that's right. >> reporter: the other race between jon ossoff and republican david perdue remains too close to call. separated by just a couple

thousand votes. democrats need to win both seats to flip the senate. >> this was a political earthquake in georgia. it leaves democrats with the very real possibility of taking control of the senate for the first two years of joe biden's term and punctures the myth of infallibility, of unbeatibility that president trump has created inside the republican party. >> reporter: president trump has been a constant presence in the election here. chastising the state's election officials and claiming without evidence that the november votes were rigged. some republicans fear the president's claims may have suppressed turnout. >> after the election for president it was like, wow, did our vote count? >> reporter: so what happens next in georgia? election officials say we could get the final results this afternoon but remember here in the state a candidate can request a recount of the votes if it's within a 0.5% margin. currently that race between jon ossoff and david perdue is at 0.4%. so we could be headed for

another recount here in georgia if that's the case. we've already had a bunch of recounts after the presidential election. reporting live in atlanta, elizabeth schulze, abc7 news. reggie? >> thank you. this morning law enforcement in washington, d.c. bracing for protests as congress meets to certify the election results. tensions are running high. 30,000 supporters of president trump are gathering, dozens of republicans are promising to challenge the results. jobina is tracking this from the live desk. >> so what ever happens today, the results remain the same. joe biden will be the next president of the united states. but of course that is not stopping supporters of the president including these people who flew from sfo to d.c. yesterday. overnight police in d.c. clashed with members of the far right proud boys group prompting officers to use pepper spray to break up the crowd. u.s. park police arrested a man for allegedly carrying a

concealed fire arm during a protrump rally. the national guard is deployed to provide traffic control in the city. the president is still falsely claiming the results of the election rest in the hands of vice president mike pence who will preside over the joint session of congress this morning, even releasing a statement claiming both agree that pence has the power to act. >> i hope that our great vice president -- our great vice president comes through for us. >> pence does not have that power. he can only count the votes sent by states. we'll take a live look at washington, d.c. right now. authorities anticipate protesters gathering at the capitol. you can see people walking in that direction there right now. this is obviously a symbolic location around the city. we'll be watching this throughout the day. president trump is expected to speak at one event on the ellipse near the white house.

distribution across the state. nearly 900,000 doses are stuck in transit across california, but bay area health experts are urging the public to have patience. >> i will say that the size and scale of this effort is unlike any we have ever seen. >> that was dan ashley reporting. the san francisco department of health says they received about 30,000 vaccines, but only 6,000 have actually been delivered to front line health care workers. >> that is so tough to hear. let's talk about the temperatures. we knew it would be cooler this morning, it is in most areas except in napa and santa rosa, that's keeping you milder. let's go down to the south bay where san jose is five degrees cooler. you can see a lot of mid to upper 30s here. 35 in santa clara. 36 in campbell. 37 in milpitas. alum rock. 38 in sunnyvale. grab a heavier coat this morning. mid to upper 30s in the east bay valleys. the upper 30s as far north as redwood city and half moon bay. san pablo at 38. san francisco is what we're

good morning. >> good morning, kumasi. look at this lucky store. this is brentwood. the chevron here on lone tree way. it's not jackpot lucky, but 2$23 million lucky. the mega millions had a jackpot last night of 4$432 million. no one won the jackpot. it was the highest lottery prize since the pandemic started. people have not been out buying tickets. so jackpots have shrunk. but as people are out moving around a bit more, they are buying more and the jackpots have gone up. both mega millions and powerball were more than 400 million. that's created some excitement and more buying. the powerball drawing is tonight. here are the mega million numbers that were chosen last night. 20, 43, 51, 55, 57, and 4. no one had all the numbers, but someone here in brentwood had some of them. enough to win $2 million. so that's fun news this morning. the mega millions jackpot is up

to 4$490 million. that drawing will be on friday. up next is the powerball. the powerball jackpot is at 4$40 million. that drawing is tonight. we're talking about a lot of money here. good luck to everyone. reporting live in brentwood, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> yes. all right. thank you. >> i'm the one who always says, you know, good luck, there's no chance you will win. >> and they won. >> i take that back, because someone has $2 million this morning. again, my advice to you, tell no one. do not celebrate. >> my question is how much would it take for you to leave your whole life behind? is 2 million enough? do you need like 100 million? >> we have to carry the one and subtract the taxes. >> yes. you have to look at your kids. >> lump sum versus over, you know, certain amount of timeframe. you get less when you take the

lump sum as opposed to getting it over time. >> you have to do the lump sum, mike. you have to do the lump sum. >> i think so. i think so. i think with the stock market being what it was, you want all of it now and you want to invest it or play with it, do whatever you can. that's a good question. something i was thinking about, 2.3 after taxes and the lump sum, enough to walk away? >> in california? >> probably not in the bay area. elsewhere, yeah. let's talk about what's going on. here's sfo where we're seeing partly cloudy conditions and about 42 degrees. it is dry. we'll have conditions get wetter as we head through the morning hours. especially across the north bay and then a rapid weakening of the storms as they head down to the san mateo bridge and if you get some showers that far south, that's the exception. we'll get nothing in the south bay. so we're a 1 today for that system. it continues to weaken. we have temperatures around 55 in the north bay to nearly 65

degrees down around gilroy where you will see more sunshine. tonight, not as cool as this morning. more fog. temperatures in the upper 30s to upper 40s. here's a look at our storm track and what was such a promising week with those storms coming so close to us, it's going to pretty much end on a quiet note. most of the rain will go to the north with this next storm. tomorrow afternoon, you can see waves of rain and showers moving across the north bay. overnight through friday morning, that's when we have our best chance of wet weather. so friday's morning commute is the most affected commute by the rain out of these next two storms other than the north bay this evening. once we get past that, it gets dry and warmer than average next week. that could last for a couple of weeks. >> thank you. in today's world, time moves too fast. we're always in need of more. this morning some scientists are suggesting that we should shorten our normal minute to 59 seconds. what? it's because earth's rotation

rate has been increasing ever so slightly, which means shorter days by a matter of milliseconds per day. but those add up. atomic clock scientists are calling for a 59 second standard minute. the decision will be made at the world radio communication conference in 2023. the don't take time from me. >> don't do it. it's too much in my mind. >> i don't like this. >> let it be. >> don't you think we need a round number? >> that's what i'm saying. it's too much to try to do. >> can we just pretend we didn't say anything? >> i didn't hear anything. >> me neither. coming up next, the 7 things to know this morning. also, forget the fitting room, amazon is hoping this is

health care providers to comply. it's clear the vaccine rollout is off to a sloppy start here in california and across the country. nationally only 4.8 million doses have been administered of the more than 17 million that have been distributed. one big question is if this was a case of promising too much from operation warp speed or if there are just mistakes made along the way. >> we always knew this was going to be difficult. as tony said, these things take time to ramp up. what the american people need to know is we are quickly ramping up. we're approaching 500,000 vaccinations per day. >> jerome adams on "gma" this morning talking about what's being done to get those vaccines into the arms of average americans. >> this has always been an issue where it's administered as you say at the local level. we'll continue to work with states. we'll continue to encourage public private partnerships. cvs, walgreens, in florida with public supermarkets.

we'll make sure we're putting vaccines and supplies where the demand actually is. >> that full interview with dr. jerome adams on "good morning america" at 7:00 a.m. governor newsom has announced a $4 billion plan to help businesses survive this pandemic. this is part of a state budget proposal the governor is expected to unveil on friday. the plan includes more than $1 billion for immediate relief for small businesses, tax credits for new hires and a major jobs package that includes apprenticeships, housing development and green jobs. and some good news for small businesses in san francisco. a fee waiver totalling $5 million was just approved for restaurants and entertainment venues. this helps with costs like permit fees, business registration fees and taxes. don't be surprised if you see a lot of people buying lottery tickets today. tonight's powerball jackpot is up to 4$410 million. the mega millions jackpot is growing after no one matched all the numbers last night, but

someone in brentwood got pretty close. abc7 news reporter amy hollyfield is live at the chevron on lone tree way. >> we had fun this morning getting to tell the employee here that they sold a ticket worth 2$2.3 million. they didn't even know. so they were very excited. big smiles here. this is the chevron in brentwood on lone tree way. no one won the jackpot, but the store did sell a 2$2.3 million ticket. the mega millions jackpot last night was the largest we have seen since the pandemic started. in part because people weren't out and about buying lottery tickets. so without buyers, the jackpot doesn't go up. so this generated a lot of excitement. the powerball jackpot was also past 4$400 million. dual jackpots equalling almost 500 million dollars. that was exciting. no big winner last night.

though here in brentwood, we're talking about 2$2.3 million. we had fun telling people about it. we have not met the winner. we wonder if the winner knows they are the winner yet. people here are happy to hear this happened. >> i wish it was mine. but i'm happy for whoever did win it. he was a gentleman. i'm hoping he's excited as well. it's a new year, thank you. >> check your mega millions ticket. here are the numbers, 20, 43, 51, 55, 57 and 4. no one had all the numbers. so that jackpot now goes up again. it's going to be 4$490 million. that drawing will be friday. but up next is powerball. that jackpot is at 4$410 millio. that drawing is tonight.

get your tickets and good luck, everyone. reporting live in brentwood, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. coming up, the search for this 5-month-old french bulldog. her owner's scary story of how the puppy was stolen. people cannot get enough of this sight in marin county. we're hearing from people who caught this show. look at those cameras. first a check on the weather with meteorologist mike nicco. >> take the science classroom outside and watch that. that's cool. all right. let's start with temperatures in our inland east bay neighborhoods. clouds are starting to roll in. this is about as cold as we'll get. that's mid to upper 30s in most neighborhoods. we have 40 in antioch and pittsburg. mid to upper 30s in the north bay with the thickest fog. the fog is starting to spill out of the north bay and head to oakland and san francisco where it's 42 and 47. upper 30s around mountain view and san jose. here's a look from our east bay hills camera, no problem seen all the way across the bay bridge and into san francisco. now the fog is back.

as far as your activities today, wet up in the north bay. caution there if you're working or remote learning. exercising, the trails are still damp out there. the beaches are much calmer than yesterday. thankfully that high surf advisory expired at 11:00 last night. we're about 145 miles away from the wet weather up in santa rosa. the north bay will receive the wet weather first. as you can see by 9:00, it stays well north in mendocino county. by the end of the lunch hour, 1:00, it's still light to moderate but still stuck in the north bay. then it really falls apart once it tries to pass out of the north bay and into the rest of our neighborhoods. that's why i think outside of the north bay, rainfall amounts will be very, very light if any at all. they could be nonexistent. look at that. south of san francisco, it doesn't hit any of our buckets. north of that, up to 0.2 inches of rain. one more chance tomorrow. we'll talk about that coming up. want to get over to jobina and talk about the morning commute.
