"today in the bay's" jackie ward is live for us this morning. jackie, what are people saying about this? i know the owners have to be frustrated. >> reporter: well, good morning to you, laura. they are absolutely frustrated. so here in contra costa county this is where the strictest regulations will be put back into place from the entire region really and gym owners are fighting back because gyms are once again having to close their indoor facilities along with some indoor dining and indoor

theater concessions will have to stop in an effort to reduce the spike in cases. many gym owners across the state say they're being treated unfairly with county health departments deciding to shut them down without having the contact tracing data to prove people going to the gym are helping spread the virus. the owner and general manager say they're tired of being blamed for being part of the problem and they're looking into fighting the county order that is tightening restrictions as contra costa returns to red again. >> we are working to find a lawyer to file an injunction so we can stay open. >> we're going back into the red which should allow gyms to operate at 10% which is what we've been complying with. >> reporter: the pandemic is forcing another beloved local business to shut down. one of the world's first cross fit gyms held its last workout yesterday. they say their overhead remains the same while their loss of membership and limits placed

"the sf examiner" reporting the embarcadero testing facility booked two weeks out though they can test 1,500 per day. now smaller neighborhoods sites are stretching their limits.

a new testing site at the farmers market is expected to reopen today. this is to hopefully cut down on some of the backlog. more renters struggling to make it in the bay struggling with mounting debt. california makes up almost one-fourpt one one-fourth of the rental debt. by the end of the year california renters may have to pay back nearly $2 billion in rent. it amounts to around a quarter million renters who are behind in their rent statewide. king tides are back in the bay area. take a look at this. it led to scenes of flooding in low lying coastal areas. king tides happen when the sun and the moon align to force stronger gravitational pull that will stick around through tomorrow at least. right, kari? today is the last day of the king tides and coastal flood

the private/public commercial spacecraft program that made the weekend's launch possible. it just took that many years to develop the spacecraft from spacex and boeing. it's mostly luck president trump was president when the launches started. it is exciting and good news. i know you have more about it. >> we sure do. >> the latest launch making history with that crew onboard. the rocket blasted off. victor glover will be the first black crew member at the international space station. he's just the 14th black american out of more than 300 nasa astronauts. maybe you want to get away but you're not an astronaut. time to fly high with costco. costco offering a 12-month membership with a private jet membership called wheels up for about $17,000.

areas like portland approaching seattle this is all a part of the cold front that will be quickly moving south and dipping into the bay area bringing us more seasonable temperatures. as it does so it will bring us some gusty winds tomorrow and then we'll start to see some of the rain moving in by late morning in parts of the north bay. where you see the yellows and oranges indicate heavier rain and we're mostly going to see that in the north bay as it moves into the rest of the bay area during the afternoon. most of us will only see light showers. tomorrow afternoon into the evening and for the evening commute, may be pretty wet but we are going to see the rain tapering off. for the most part some of the heaviest rain will be out of here. a quarter to half an inch of rain.

and then for the sierra the snow as we could see a couple of feet in some spots. 10 to 11 feet. some of our resorts could get a great amount of snow up to 20 to 21 inches. after that we just dry out and temperatures remaining in the 60s for the rest of the week and that dry weather continues even into the weekend. >> looks pretty good. a couple spots where a slight adjustment is going on. the car fire, the pickup truck, no injuries and that's the important part. the slowing was jammed up. it's now eased up to its normal commute. the arrows show you where the

>> we can do something about it. yes, it's a very serious situation. we know that this covid fatigue that people are just tired of the kinds of restrictions but there are fundamental things that we talk about all the time that i've discussied, the physical distancing, the universal wearing of masking, the staying away from crowds. if we do that uniformly throughout the country we don't have to accept major surges. >> reporter: and this update comes at a crucial time as the nation hits another unfortunate milestone. the u.s. has now passed 11 million cases and this comes when states and cities tighten restrictions. where does the golden state stand? reached more than 3,600 on saturday. that number reflect the surge in

cases. the week before the hospitalizations were closer to 2,900. if you do the math a 27% increase from week to week. the last time hospitals hit these types of numbers was back on september 1st. and speaking of dr. anthony fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert. he was honored by san jose state university. he received a 2020 national award. the faculty praised him for his trustworthy and reliable information, for delivering that information in the midst of a pandemic for months now. congratulations to dr. fauci. things looking up in terms of vaccines. we'll continue to bring any updates with any of those late phase trials as they become available. live in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> it sounds great, thank you. in total three counties will tighten restrictions tomorrow. while it's not yet official you may want to make it four.

limited. i want to show you the restrictions so you can see what i'm talking about. classes are capped at 12 to 16 students per class depending on the grade. teachers and students have to remain in designated spaces so they're not moving around freely. there will be priority placement for students who have special needs or who are really struggling with that distance learning. students who have at least one parent or guardian who is an essential worker also will get priority placement. starting today in san francisco 20 city workers will inspect each and every classroom to see if they have things like functioning sinks and window that is open, furniture that can be moved. tomorrow a trustee will talk about returning to in-person instruction starting january 25th. prioritizing students from transitional kindergarten to first grade and students with special needs. middle school and high school have to submit plans in january.

oranges but knots how it becomes broken up. this is during tomorrow afternoon so the system is expected to weaken but not as much as it did last friday where we were hoping for some rain and only got a little bit. as we go from tuesday night into early wednesday morning. then we look at how much rain, at least a quarter to half an inch of rain. nice to see decent amounts of rain here as well as sierra snow. at least a foot of snow for upper elevations. up to 21 inches of snow. mike, how is it looking for the commute? it's looking a little bit
