"today in the bay" starts right now. a very good monday morning. thank you for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. mike is keeping an eye on the roads we have around the bay area. first, let's get a look at the weather today with meteorologist kari hall. it is cold outside. yeah. we're going to see more of these cold mornings over the next several days. it does warm up and shapes up to be a nice day with all of that sunshine. we're still looking at some dry weather and some gusty winds. i don't have to change this bottom line. still no rain in the forecast through the rest of the week. as we start out the door this morning, we're seeing some spots dipping below freezing. we'll be watching those numbers go down even further. we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. mike, how is it looking getting out the door for the early morning commute? kari, i'm trying not to play favorites but all of the roadways look good except for a couple incidents. one was major closing down

highway 24. two lanes are affected by debris and by a crash. maybe a light pole down eastbound as you're approaching oak hill. keep that in mind if you're traveling to the walnut creek interchange. across oakland to san francisco, though, that bay bridge is clear, as is the rest of contra costa county. breaking news for you this morning, moderna says that it is filing today for an emergency use authorization of its covid-19 vaccine with the fda. the drug maker says that its coronavirus vaccine is 94% effective with no serious safety concerns. the fda vaccine committee is expected to review that data by december 17th after emergency use authorization is granted moderna will start distributing vaccines immediately. the company says it expects to have 20 million doses available by the end of 2020 and up to a billion doses in 2021. new restrictions are in place throughout the bay area as the surge of cases continues to

for 14 days. this is the last group of travelers arriving at sjc who will not be asked to quarantine, but at midnight that all changes. that's when a new travel order goes into effect in santa clara county requiring people who travel more than 150 miles from the county to quarantine for 14 days. travelers have mixed feelings about the restriction. >> for most people that doesn't really -- that won't really fly with their lifestyle. i could work from home, but some people may not be able to work from home, so i don't know if they're going to miss out on income. >> i think it's a good idea with the numbers picking up. >> reporter: there are exceptions such as people who perform essential government function. it's not clear if the county will be tracking whether people actually quarantine, but the county is notifying travelers of the policy.
