yep! get the gifts you love... yesss! ... for everyone on your list. you've got the holidays, and we've got you... with all the gift for less. at ross. yes for less! good morning. it is saturday, december 5th. 7:00 on the dot as we take a live look outside from communication hill in san jose. we will check in with vianey arana in a few minutes to bet your full microclimate forecast for this first weekend of december. but first, i'm kira klapper

with a look at what's happening right now. 50 degrees in san francisco. expected in a little bit we are seeing 30s and 40s across the bay area right now. and we do have some anticipated 60s, so something to look forward to. we're going to check in with vianey arana right now for your microclimate forecast. >> hey, good morning. yeah, we have about 50 degrees in san francisco but it's widespread because we go from 50s in san francisco to 40s in san jose. you can see how beautiful it is to start. to the very cold 30s in the north bay. 30s, 40s and 50s to start and by the around we should be comfortably sitting in the 60s but we'll notice an increase in cloud cover later this evening and a chance for some drizzle for the north bay. in addition to that, there's a spare the air alert in effect and we're monitoring windy conditions tonight into tomorrow. that's coming up in a few

minutes. >> thanks so much, see you in 15. we begin with a new lockdown. it is back to march for many of us. most of the bay area will be under a new stay at home order by tomorrow night after five counties joined forces and said they will not wait for the state to implement tighter coronavirus restrictions. it starts tomorrow night for people in san francisco, contra costa and santa clara counties. for alameda county, first thing on monday and for marin county, first thing on tuesday. the new rules are in place until january 4th. hair and nail salons, zoos, play grounds will once again be forced to close. restaurants can only open for takeout or delivery. retail stores can remain open but just at 20% capacity. we found many small businesses owners who had recently reopened under new restrictions, restaurants that had just invested in umbrellas and heaters for outdoor dining, frustrated that nothing they can do is enough to keep customers safe. and concerned about keeping

their businesses afloat. >> you think -- you're thinking that it's working out and you just don't know what to do. >> i hiked through kameno, got through cancer. i hope to god i can get through this. >> several business owners and customers saying they want to see evidence that proves that this will actually bend the curve. health leaders say this is the most dangerous surge yet of this pandemic that's why these drastic measures are needed to save lives. they say that this preemptive move is necessary because hospitals are filling up. this is a look at the intensive care unit capacity across the bay area. solana and alameda counties in yellow are still with more than 30% of their beds available. the ones in orange have less than that. san francisco, napa and contra costa counties.

but the counties in red have dropped below that 15% threshold. that's sonoma, san mateo and santa clara counties as of last night. marin county, by the way, had not reported the icu capacity. looking at the bay area as a whole, we have more icu capacity remaining than most of the state of california with more than 21% availability. local health leaders though point to the lack of icu space in los angeles county at just 13% is. saying we are acting now in hopes of avoiding that. nonhospitalization cases are rising as well. california reported more than 22,000 cases in the 24 hour period. and that's a record. it's more than 2,000 more cases than the previous record set on tuesday. santa clara county, meanwhile, has had a record number of new infections at 856. in san francisco, we found people enjoying their last

friday night out until next year. "today in the bay" jackie reports. >> reporter: this place is called the beach, but for this group of friends it's where everybody knows their names. >> it helped me to retain some normalcy and a new cadence outside of working in my apartment. >> reporter: they don't get why businesses have to close the outdoor areas. >> you can't tell me there's scientific correlation to that. and then to tell me you're going to shut down these mom and pop businesses i think it's wrong. >> reporter: but the owner luker torres understands. >> is it the right thing to do 100% it's the right thing to do we don't want this problem to continue on in 2021. >> reporter: she will adjust again by turning her bar's window into the tamale window

and delivering wine to customers' home. >> i have my aunt's famous salsa so it will be great. >> reporter: but the director of the golden gate restaurant association said the timing is hardest to swallow. >> because everybody sort of said yesterday, oh, okay, we can have a week of two. see what's going to happen. you know, maybe we'll get a week off around christmas but none of us expected a 30-day closure before the state. >> that was jackie ward reporting. as we said the stay at home order goes into effect at different times depending on where you live. if you live in san francisco, contra costa or santa clara counties in purple, the new restrictions begin tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. for alameda county in blue, the order starts first thing monday. 12:01 a.m. just after midnight. and in marin county in red, the

new order starts at noon on tuesday. you may have noticed there's some local counties that are not voluntarily going into the stay at home order. that's san mateo county and the leaders are taking wait and see approach. it's an approach that's giving somal mixed reaction on the peninsula. >> but i'm glad they are going to let us be working. >> my big concern is we should probably shelter in place now as opposed to later. >> in a statement the san mateo public health office says its appreciates and understands the measures taken by other counties but it will continue to work with businesses and community leaders to follow existing guidelines. we are aware there's a lot to keep track of with this new stay at home order so we have a breakdown on the website, nbc bay area.com. it is right at the top of the page. click on the red bar. 7:07, we have much more ahead on "today in the bay."

no outdoor dining, no hair cuts and no backyard hangouts. the new stay at home order includes rules about your social bubble. the guidelines for gatherings that are disappointing a lot of covid pods. plus, what needs to happen for life to return to normal. we asked an infectious disease specialist.

welcome back. it's 7:10 on a saturday morning. gray and pink as we look towards san francisco from emeryville. clear enough to see the tower which means it is cold out there. 30s and 40s this morning. and by the way, we have our first spare the air alert of the season. no lighting your fires today. the first new stay at home orders take effect tomorrow night and it will not only impact businesses. the new rules actually are putting a pause on your social bubble, the covid pod.

we're not supposed to get together with anybody outside of the immediate household for the next four weeks and this includes the holidays. "today in the bay" reports. >> reporter: in los gatos, vehicles lined up for the opening of the fantasy of lights display at the park. in the midst of a pandemic, this socially distanced drive-thru event is ideal. >> i'm excited. >> reporter: for the raudez fultz family it's one of the last things together to enjoy for the last month. >> we enjoy having the in laws and sharing family time. >> reporter: the social bubble has mostly included immediate family and that's supposed to stop. >> until we get through this wave, you should not meet in person with anyone you do not live with. even in a small group and even outdoors with precautions. if you have a social bubble, it is now parked. >> reporter: as most of the bay area reverts to another stay at

home order, one of the biggest concerns from families is a return to isolation. >> i understand the concern, but at the same time, it's hard. i mean, i have kids so we have been inside for so long and now again we have to be inside even longer. >> reporter: in addition to possible mental health issues, at least one epidemiologist is raising concerns about shutting down the dining, playgrounds and socially distanced meetups. >> outdoors where we haven't any data driven reasons for closing these things and i think it can really lead people to possibly drive them indoors which is what i'm most worried about, right, because then that is the place where it's least safe. >> reporter: santa clara county shutdown kicks in sunday night at 10:00. >> i don't even know what my sons are going to think now that the playgrounds are closing again. 7:12.

we have much more ahead on "today in the bay" coming up. there's hope on the horizon. a new covid test that could be the key to getting more students back to school. and there is a spare the air alert in effect for today. we are monitoring that. plus we've got windy conditions ahead. a close look at the full forecast coming up. stay with us. (soft music) hey dad, i'm about to leave. don't forget your hat . good morning. how can i help? i need help connecting with my students. behind every last minute save, ok, that works. and holiday surprise, thank you! a customer service rep is working unseen, making it happen. and at genesys, we're proud to help them help you everyday.

welcome back. 7:15 on your saturday morning. a gorgeous look at the sun rising over san jose on the first weekend of december. near freezing temperatures, but 60s to look forward to today. vianey arana has your full microclimate in just about two minutes, but first, despite the second shutdown there are signs of hope. the head of the world health organization is reminding everyone the first vaccine is already going to market in britain and could be approved in the u.s. as soon as next week.

but he's reminding, we need to stay vigilant and not let our collective guard down. >> progress on vaccines gives us all a lift and we can now start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. however, there are concerns that there's a growing perception that the pandemic is over. >> the director points out that nations across the world are seeing the virus spread at incredibly high rates. he says fighting this pandemic is quote, everybody's business. but when can we get back to normal, if ever. harvard researchers told us months ago they project january of 2022. a local infectious disease specialist says normalcy returns when a large number of americans get the covid vaccine. >> the first, you know, kind of quick answer is that probably between 60% and 70% of the population needs to be immune to

sars covid 2 or covid-19 before we'll have what's popularly known as herd immunity. however, having said that, again, understand that it may be the mid to latter part of 2021 before we have enough vaccine available in the u.s. to really inimmunityize the population. >> any vaccine is not 100% effective and not everyone will be protected especially if they have underlying conditions. but the boost to keep kids in schools could be getting a boost. saliva tests are accurate and they're easy. while experts say schools are not a major transmission point for coronavirus, more testing is seen as critical. labs in 25 states are working to increase testing capacity and

reduce cost. back to some other issues people in the bay area are dealing with and it has nothing to do with covid. we're talking about fire danger in december. gusty winds are expected this weekend and that has pg&e warning of potential power outages in parts of napa and sonoma counties. the areas in yellow could be affected. pg&e says the shutoffs could begin as soon as monday morning. the utility says it plans to notify affected customers two days before a planned shutoff. perfect time now to check in with vianey arana for a look at the microclimate forecast. strange to think of fire danger in december, as if we haven't been through enough already. >> absolutely. we have had such dry conditions, we're currently in an active drought that's definitely not helping us. when you do think about the fact that we are in an active sort of fire danger in the month of december, it is incredible.

so let me guide you through the changes that we have coming up this weekend and what we can expect. right now, we've got great clear skies over san francisco. we have a clear start. definitely cold which is what we have been seeing in the past couple of days. look at that. 30s up to the north bay. 30s into the interior valleys and then a couple of 40s and 50s to start our morning. here's a closer look at doppler radar and satellite. so this shows us the incoming system that's going to pass just to our north. this is actually going to help us recover in terms of some of that humidity which will be good because once the winds begin to drive in tomorrow night, at least it's going to keep some of those drier conditions at bay which does not mean that we'll be completely in the clear of, you know, the possibility of fires but at least when the wind kicks up we'll get a little bit of a recovery when it comes to the humidity. let's look at your microclimate highs for today. afternoon clouds will start to roll in and temperatures will top out in the mid 60s throughout the bay area. san jose, 65. oakland, 62.

san francisco, 60 degrees. and i want to take you as well through the forecast because we're dealing with a spare the air alert that will remain in effect for today and that means that no wood burning is allowed. and down through the south bay, so keep the windows shut if you can. remember that satellite radar i showed you with the system to the north, well, as this continues to drop down, notice the green. that is rain. there is a slight chance that we could see some drizzle mainly for the north bay though. the rest of the bay area, the biggest impact is going to come in the form of some cloud cover increasing late into the evening. as i push the time line forward, you can sort of see that system making the approach when it comes to the cloud cover. by early tomorrow morning we should be clearing out with a cloud cover, but we have got a cold front dropping in on late sunday night into monday. what that's going to do is that's going to kick up the winds and this is where the concern comes in. especially overnight sunday into

monday. take a look at the wind gusts expected. right around 2:30 monday morning, santa rosa, napa. keep in mind, that we still have so much dry brush out there that that is the reason why we have to keep a close eye on these winds heading in to monday morning. especially because the wind event is set to happen right when people are typically sleeping, right? overnight. here's a look at the seven-day forecast. we have the winds kicking up sunday night into monday. that can mean higher mountain wind and lower humidity. so we'll dry out again. temperatures remain in the 50s and 60s and then a push of high pressure that rolls in on monday and tuesday and that will warm us potentially into the 70s. >> strange weather indeed, thank you so much. 7:21 right now. still ahead on "today in the bay" -- >> they said what do you need, what scares you, what are we going to need most? >> helping people make it in the bay during this pandemic.

"today in the bay's" garvin thomas has their story in this morning's bay area proud. >> reporter: for more than 20 years in the city of east palo alto, there has been a nonprofit making a lot of noise helping young people. of course, much of that noise came from the young people themselves. >> what, you mean before covid? before covid, it was a million kids in here. >> reporter: eugene jackson is on the staff at live in peace.

a group that started out as a violence prevention program but has shifted into so much more. there's the bike workshop for project based learning. the gym for fitness of body and mind. >> this is all of our college graduates. >> reporter: educational programs that executive director heather stearns longwood says has sent 70 students on the college degrees. but starting in march, covid restrictions meant they couldn't provide many of those services while more pressing needs suddenly arose. >> it was immediate. the county shut down march 16th. people already lost their jobs. i mean, that day, you know, kids are like, oh, yeah, my mom is not working. >> i have been familiar with this community for a long time. >> reporter: howard says that the nonprofit knew it needed to pivot but how? they turned to their clients for the answer. >> they said, what do you need,

what scares you, what are we going to need most and the answer was resounding rent relief. >> reporter: so live in peace has done something it hadn't done before, went out to raise money to help pay people's rent. the original goal was $100,000. to date, they have raised more than $2.3 million. that is enough to pay the rent for 372 families for three months at a time. the total -- more than double the annual budget. they also created learning pods for students like this high school junior who needed a place for remote learning. >> it's really hard to focus at home and i have little siblings. they're in classes too. >> reporter: it's a success story in a year that's sadly seen too few of them. a nonprofit able to turn on a dime and turn it into help for hundreds of families.

>> we love our community and we know our community because we are our community. >> reporter: garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> just remarkable. 7:27. we have much more ahead for you on "today in the bay." coming up, most of the bay area suddenly bracing for its second shutdown. when the new rules take effect and what it means for your covid bubble. plus, a little too close for comfort. why wild animals are suddenly making their presence known in the east bay.

good morning. it is saturday, december 5th, 7:29 as we take a live look outside over san jose from communications hill. the sun is shining. we do have a little bit of cloud cover there. it is a chilly morning outside. thank you so much for starting your weekend with us. i'm kira klapper.

vianey arana has a peek at your microclimate forecast and this would be the perfect morning to light your fire but unfortunately, we can't do that. we're under a spare the air alert. >> that's a great point, kira. that will be in effect, we're seeing the air quality, you might have smelled the smoke, i certainly did in the south bay. and for the north bay as well. so the spare the air alert is in effect for today. san francisco, waking up to 49 degrees. clear skies overall and we will be seeing an increase in some cloud cover headed into this afternoon. a very cold 34 degrees for the north bay in fairfax. you can see here, here are the headlines. more monitoring for today and time the weekend. by this afternoon, we'll get a slight chance of seeing some drizzle mainly for the north bay. everywhere in the 60s and sunday and monday, we are monitoring a

wind event as a cold front is set to pass through and that will bring up concerns for fire danger. the full forecast coming up in a few minutes. >> just when we thought we could catch a break. thanks so much. we begin right now with a lockdown. it is back to march for many of us. most of the bay area will be in a stay at home order after tomorrow night after five counties joined forces and said they will not wait for the state of california to implement tighter coronavirus restrictions. so it starts tomorrow night for people in contra costa and santa clara counties and for alameda county, first thing monday morning and for marin county, midday tuesday. the new rules in place for everyone until january 4th. hair and nail salons, zoos, playgrounds will be forced to close. restaurants can only open for takeout delivery. retail stores can remain open but at just 20% capacity.

we found many small business owners, restaurants that had just invested in umbrellas and heaters for outdoor dining frustrated that nothing they can do is enough to keep customers safe and keep them afloat. >> it's just hard. you think -- that thing is working out. and you don't know what to do. >> i got through cancer. i hope to god i can get through this. >> several business owners and customers told us that they want to see evidence that proofs that shutting down indoor businesses will actually bend the curve. health leaders say this is the most dangerous surge yet of this pandemic and that's why these drastic measures are needed to save lives. health leaders say the preemptive move is necessary because hospitals are filling up. this is a look at the intensive

care unit capacity across the bay area. salo know and alameda counties in yellow still have more than 30% of the beds available. counties in orange have less than that, so that's san francisco, napa and contra costa counties. and the counties in red have dropped below the 15% thresholds including san mateo and santa clara counties. this is as of last night when marin county had not reported the icu capacities. here's another look at the bay area as a whole, we have more icu capacity as a region than most of california does. we have 21% availability. but los angeles county is at 13% availability. saying that we are acting now in hopes of avoiding that. nonhospitalization cases are rising as well. california reported more than 22,000 cases in a 24-hour period.

that was between thursday night and friday night. that's a record. it's more than 2,000 more cases than the previous record set on tuesday. santa clara county, by the way, also saw a record number of new infections, 856. now we want to take you to san francisco where we found people enjoying their last friday night out on the town. until 2021. "today in the bay's" jackie ward reports. >> reporter: this space outside of robber baron is called the beach, but for this group of friends everybody knows their names. >> the fridays here have helped me to maintain some type of normalcy and like life and a new cadence outside of like working and my 450 square foot apartment. >> reporter: they don't get why businesses like the restaurants have to close the outdoor areas. >> you can't tell me there's scientific correlation to that and then to say you're going to shut down the mom and pop

businesses i think it's wrong. >> reporter: but owner luker torres understands the reasoning. >> is it the right thing to do? 100% it is. because we don't want this problem to continue on in 2021. >> reporter: and she'll adjust again by turning her bar's window into a tamale window and delivering wine to her customers' homes. >> my aunt famous pickled onion salsa, so it's going to be great. >> reporter: but laura thomas who's executive director of the golden gate restaurant association says the timing of this is what's hardest to swallow. >> because everybody sort of said yesterday, oh, okay, we'll have a week or two. we'll see what's going to happen. maybe we'll get a week off around christmas, but none of us expected a 30-day closure before the state. >> that was jackie ward reporting. as we said, the stay at home order goes into effect depending on where you live.

for san francisco, contra costa, santa clara counties, the new restrictions start tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. for alameda county, 12:01 a.m., two two hours after the other counties. marin county has until noon on tuesday. there are still some local counties that are not voluntarily going into the stay at home order. leaders there tell us they are taking a wait and see approach before going along with the rest of the bay area. it is getting some mixed reaction we found on the peninsula. >> but i'm glad they're going to let us be working. >> my big concern is we should probably shelter in place now as opposed to later. >> in a statement, the san mateo

public office said it appreciates and understands the order taken by other bay areas and it will continue to work with business leaders to follow existing guidelines. we did mention sonoma county is not implementing the new stay at home order and county officials said they'll be watching data and that things may change in the coming weeks. >> so at this point we're going to monitor the data and see where we go. very well next week if things look like they're going even further up and we're further concerned then along with our partners make that decision. >> we know there are a lot of moving parts to this new stay at home order. we have posted a breakdown on our website, nbc bay area.com and we'll continue to update it as things change. you can find it at the top of the home page by clicking on that red bar. we'll take a minute and turn to other news. not once but three times that's how many trips a fremont man

tells us a group of thieves made to his neighbor's house. he tells us that it all happened overnight. he sent us the surveillance video that shows the burglars came back with more people and more cars. the neighbor hasn't lived in the home for quite some time. when he called police about it the first time he claims they told him it wasn't a priority because the crime was considered quote trespassing. >> yeah, i was very surprised because the crime in progress, i witnessed it with my eyes. i told them that this is not the people living there. so you guys should send somebody here right away. and, you know, you will miss them. >> so we reached out to the fremont police department and a spokesman said the first call was specified as trespassing because the caller didn't mention anybody was stealing anything from the house and when

he called the second time he described a burglary in progress and that's when officers went out to the home. the neighbor says the burglars got away minutes before police arrived. and that you see there, not a dog. it is a coyote walking through an east bay parking lot. visitors at the lafayette reservoir were stunned yesterday to see it just trotting along. max from venetia tells us he hikes there often and he's never seen this before. ironically, three hours earlier and less than half a mile away, a coyote bit a jogger's leg. no word on whether it's the same animal. 7:39. still to come on "today in the bay," a unique move. politicians in detroit making a power play for a 49ers coach. sports is next.

injuries have made a challenging year even tougher for the 49ers defense but they're still one of the best in the nfl and the rest of the country is starting to notice. a group of politicians in michigan are campaigning for defensive coordinator robert saleh to be the next head coach of the detroit lions. called a hometown hero, salah went to high school 15 minutes away from ford field and he played college ball at northern michigan university and later was an assistant at michigan state. >> i didn't see anything or hear anything until coming off the practice field. so i'm not -- i don't know what to make of it or anything like that. so it's just -- whatever i guess, you know? >> he has been san francisco's defensive coordinator since 2017. and we are monitoring a cold start but it will eventually warm up just a little bit into the 60s. we have a cooldown on the way also. monitoring winds headed into sunday night. the full forecast coming up. stay with us. ahhh!

good morning. buenos dias. saturday, we off to a good start. clear in san francisco right now, 49 degrees and we sort of good a good range of temperatures. 40s in san francisco and low 40s in san jose. 41 degrees through there and we still got those 30s very cold up through the north bay fairfax. so let's look at doppler radar. you can see just to our north and off in the pacific we have an approaching system. now what is this going to mean for us? well, it looks like the majority of the bay area is expected to remain dry, but there is a possibility that we could get some drizzle in the north bay. first things first, let's talk about the daytime highs. temperatures in the low to mid 60s in this afternoon so we're a few degrees cooler than yesterday. now, another thing to keep in mind, spare the air alert is in

effect for today. no wood burning allowed, we have unhealthy air quality in the north bay and the south bay expected for today. notice the time bar in the corner. we have the increase in cloud cover so we're starting out pretty clear and then that green that you see there is the possibility of seeing a little bit of rain mainly though drizzle for portions of the north bay. the rest of the bay area is going to remain dry. no measurable amounts of rain expected out of this system. just an increase in that cloud cover which is good because it will help sort of track us back up into our humidity. so it will help up bring up the humidity because as you know we have been dry. we are in need of the rain and then we have a chance coming tomorrow night and that's going to kick up the winds and of course the concern any time we see winds is the possibility of the elevated fire danger which is what we're seeing right now in southern california. so let's talk about the latest drought monitor. areas like clear lake, napa, fairfield, in extreme drought and the drought is expanding. we haven't seen much in the way

of rain and the fire danger is going to continue to increase. as we head in towards sunday night and monday, when we see all of that dry brush out there, any time that we see winds begin to gust is when we start to have to look at things closely. let's look at the timing of the wind expected as that cold front passes through. monday around 3:00 a.m., look at santa rosa and napa, upwards of 30 plus miles an hour. as we head into monday, northeast wind, 10 to 35 miles per hour. once that wind begins to kick up it will lower our humidity overnight and our temperatures are going to warm up into monday and tuesday with the arrival of a high pressure system. in san francisco, that's going to mean mid 60s in the temperature range and for the inland temperatures we could see upper 60s. even a couple of low 70s into monday. but again, we're looking out for the winds, sunday night into monday for today. a very slight chance of spotty

drizzle for the evening. mainly for the north bay. something to keep in mind. remember, spare the air alert is in place. >> indeed. good reminder there. thanks. it is just shy of 7:48. still to come on today in the bay, who receives ppp loans and how much did they get? we investigate and track down the money, next.
