county stand on those closures? that's coming up for you in a live report straight ahead. and the third hour of "today in the bay" continues for you right now. thanks so much for making us a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. i hope you had a great weekend. thanks for starting your day with us. we'll check in with mike in a moment with a look at that monday morning commute. but kari has a look at our forecast right now. watching out for the fire danger along with high waves along the coastline and we've seen the winds picking up especially in some of our mountains where we have not only the fire danger but the wind advisory as we could see those gusts over 60 miles per hour for today. we're going to see high winds bring in some pretty big breakers up to 25 feet along the coastline. i'm watching all of this in the forecast so we'll talk about the details coming up in a few minutes. mike, how is it looking for the commute? kari, it looks busier at the bay bridge but it looked like that because the metering lights

were turned on and it is a little busier, more traffic heading over there. some slowing on the span shows up on our maps because there may be a disabled vehicle. a semi truck perhaps getting close to the treasure island so we may see more backup as they slow the metering lights down. we'll closely track that and the drive. the rest of the bay shows no major problems. the slowdown in concord is not what it may appear to be. i'll explain that coming up. the rest of the bay lighter than you would normally see. back to you. thank you, mike. 6:01 right now. from the bay area to los angeles to san diego millions of californians are waking up after the weekend to a new shelter at home order. we've got live looks outside. >> here is a look at how california is divided into regions in terms of tracking surge cases and hospital rates. all regions are now in some form of that stay-at-home order. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live for us. i know different counties are rolling out those restrictions differently. so break it down for us so we can understand.

>> reporter: yeah, good morning. the whole point of the new restrictions is really just to urge folks to stay inside and limit that interaction with everyone else. this coming as we know that surge is expected from the folks that gathered during the thanksgiving holiday. it was only a matter of weeks after that holiday that those cases were expected to rise. the new restrictions really coming at a pivotal time. what counties are involved and what changes can you expect to see? those regions within the state and five counties are impacted by this, alameda, marin, san francisco, contra costa and santa clara counties. the biggest changes are coming for those restaurants. there is no more indoor or outdoor dining. bars and restaurants at this point are limited to carryout only. as far as those personal care services like hair and nail salons and those counties, those also have to close along with museums --

retailers are allowed to have indoor business, but they must operate at no more than 20% capacity. many business owners, the frustration really lies with what's been a roller coaster ride since march. it's really been difficult for them to adapt. closing up shop. take a listen. >> i mean, it's a bummer for all of us here. we're final lip gettily getting stride of picking back up and re-engaging with our regulars and seeing familiar faces. next shutdown for it is a shame. >> reporter: and for those of you wondering about the school, if your district has that in-person learning, that in-person learning can continue as long as everyone is following the social distancing and mask wearing protocols. we're live in san francisco,

cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> all right, thank you very much, cierra. well, it is 6:03 right now. two of the five designated regions in california have already hit critical mass when it comes to icu bed availability. that is the actual metric that we're talking about that triggers a region wide stay-at-home order. now take a look at this map. it shows you all the regions that are being watched at this time and as you can see actually the bay area has more beds compared to most of the states. 24%. look at one of the hardest hit areas, that is there in the central valley, san joaquin valley. they are just at over 6% of icu beds availability. that's the danger of this outbreak should it get even worse there of where they put the people when they need so many of these icu beds. so we're closely monitoring everything that is going on. this is what's determining the

stay-at-home order that so many of us are now under, marcus. a lot of people need help. in washington, laura, that's where lawmakers on the same side can't even agree on the proposed covid relief bill. senator bernie sanders says he's against the bill because it doesn't include $1,200 in direct payments to cover liability protection. representative alexandria ocasio-cortez says she supports the deal. a closer look at the divide as cases continue to surge. tracie? >> reporter: now we have a vaccine that could be ready for some people by the end of the week. a covid relief bill that lawmakers hope will follow very quickly if not around the same time. this $908 billion that would include help for people whose help is running out fast. unemployment and protection from evictions expected to happen this month. they're trying to deal with not

the larger stimulus but relief for people whose benefits could be running out around the holidays. >> we have a few remaining issues. i think we can work them out. >> we don't have a choice now. >> we're gig relief to the landlords on the condition the person not be evicted. >> reporter: small business loans are running out. president-elect biden is announcing his health and human services secretary who will be very much involved in fighting coronavirus will be xavier becerra, california's attorney general. a former member of congress who fought very hard for the affordable care act. he's expected to announce soon, possibly today or tomorrow. the rest of the health team, we have those names today, they include a team focused on equity, an equity task force to deal with the disproportionate impact on communities of color.

thank you, tracie. we'll closely be watching the uk as history will be made tomorrow there. started arriving at hospitals over the weekend. vaccines from pfizer. they're going first to people over 80 years old. front care health care workers and nursing home staff and residents. all this week taking a closer look at the race for a vaccine. we're answering all of your questions from how the covid vaccine is different from other vaccines to who is paying for it. ahead at 6:45 we'll show you how the covid vaccine will be different from any other vaccine that we've gotten. check out our beautiful camera up top. you see it shaking. those are the gusty winds

meteorologist kari hall has been tracking. up in the higher elevations this morning. >> all of that is prompting the rare december high fire danger. >> bob redell is in dublin this morning. here we go again. a lot of people say you have to stay alert when all of this is happening. >> reporter: the national weather service has extended its red flag warning that was in effect until 5:00 tonight, marcus and laura. this is rare. here we are in december, normally this time the fire danger normally has passed. there could be wind gusts of 40 up to 60 miles an hour in the upper elevations. parts of the peninsula and the santa cruz mountains. humidity levels could drop this morning. to 25%, 30%. we've had hardly any rain and lots of dry fuel. all of that combined ingredient for wildfire.

red flag conditions have led to two destructive fire in southern california, back here in the bay area. contra costa county fire keeping their fire stations fully staffed and their men and women ready to deploy if needed. >> although it's early december the conditions are such the fire danger is just as high standing here today as a month or two ago in october and november. >> always in the back of my mind, we need the rain. i wish it would rain. >> reporter: i know the feeling. the national weather service is discouraging any outside burning today. if you see smoke in the hills, assume the worst and call 911. reporting live here in dublin, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> all right, bob, thank you. >> if you see anything like that very important. let's talk about the winds, kari. how gusty will they be in the higher elevations and how long will they stick around?

the last hour i was looking at the healdsburg hills where we've had wind gusts up to 58 miles an hour. we're seeing wind gusts up to 35 right now. it's 20 to 25 miles an hour and then calm in other areas. i wanted to show you how that affects the temperatures because we look at ukiah right now where you dip down to 29. it's protected by the hills on either side. it's very calm there and it's 29 degrees but you compare that to napa and santa rosa where the winds are rushing by and it's 60 degrees right now, all of those winds creating the friction in the air and that warms up the temperatures. you can see the difference there. we're going to be watching this over the next few hours as our winds continue to gust this morning. and, mike, that may have a lot of drivers keeping a tight grip on the steering wheel. yeah, because that friction can move your car around, too, right, pushing by the wind as well. that's not an issue in the

report just reported by chp. we will take a look because we're concerned about that bay bridge for a number of reasons including that wind. from emeryville we do see the span. the camera is steady. the span was slow. disabled semitruck reported as you head to treasure island. as we look at the map the sensors are starting to improve speeds going from red back to orange again and metering lights are on. i think they have cleared whatever issue was going on with that semitruck. getting over, no problems. highway 4 was slow through concord and the commute direction but the crash was eastbound and i believe those four vehicles have been cleared so the slowing i was going to show you good news, it's cleared there. never really showed up for much of the bay. a smooth, lighter drive right now. a major car recall. up next engines in danger of catching fire. find out if yours is one of the hundreds of thousands making this dangerous list. plus -- a ceo makes a ton of

money. you'll be surprised how much. out to the futures this morning. plus, we're welcoming teeny tiny monkeys into the world this morning. up next you won't believe just how tiny these babies are. stick around. 6:12 this morning. >> i can't wait.

good monday morning. we are under a microclimate weather alert. as you get ready to head out for your commute be careful as you head to work. heading into the 60s today with a lot of sunshine. we'll talk about when that fire danger ends and what's ahead in the forecast coming up. and what's ahead at the bay bridge is right there. some of the backup in the rear-view mirror and what looks like a disabled big rig has cleared from the span. we'll see how things change. we'll check on that coming up. good morning and a happy monday. airbnb and door dash, we'll ask

investors for. doordash goes public on wednesday, we'll talk about them as we get further into the week and closer to those events. tracie potts touched on the likelihood we'll see a coronavirus relief bill coming out of congress soon. all of that more important after friday's disappointing jobs numbers. not only did the economy not add all that many new jobs, the unemployment rate showed a lot of people leaving the job market. they simply stopped looking. one of those situations where the unemployment rate going down is not necessarily good. the unemployment rate measures people who are without a job but looking for one. the unemployment rate looks better but it's not. you recall the trump administration made a deal to loan kodak money so they could help in the manufacture of a vaccine. kodak botched the job of announcing it to the point it looks suspicious. and several senators called for

an investigation into whether the loan was legit. they have seen the final report and they say everything was aboveboard. chick-fil-a says it's being mistreated by chicken farms, that they are making chicken more expensive than it should be. grocery stores and other restaurants have made similar accusations in the past. england has changed quarantine policies. you don't need to quarantine once you land in england if you're what the government considers a high level person, ceos coming in for big business. speaking of high value, bloomberg has taken a look at the compensation for the ceo of snowflake which debuted in september. the ceo has a deal with the company where he's paid in stock, he makes $108 million. $108 million would be a lot of money except he gets paid $108

million a month. stock has tripled. $108 million a month. i have to figure what that is an hour. it has to be staggering. >> i'm going to leave early today. thanks, scott. 6:18 for you this morning. we have some new details on that delayed release of the new ford bronco. the last time they built a bronco ford 1996. now ford says it's going to delay the 2021 launch until this summer because a pandemic related problems in the supply change. they were expect ed to delay until mid-january. >> so this is that recall alert for car drivers. kia is now recalling nearly

300,000 cars for engine fire concerns that includes the 2011 to 2015 model of six different cars like the sorrento, the optima hybrid. drivers are being told to take their cars to the dealership to see if the engine compartment is leaking fuel or oil. last week kia agreed to pay a $210 million civil penalty after regulators say the company failed to recall the cars in a timely matter. all right, this one we were waiting for. two tiny twins being shown off for the first time. the twins are the world's smallest monkeys. they were born in september at the chester zoo in the uk. the twins are about the size of ping-pong balls and still too small to determine if they're male or female. >> they'll be bouncing around

like ping-pong balls soon. >> you bet. little squirrely. >> cute there. look, from cute to alert, 6:19 for you this morning. we have to talk about that red flag warning across the bay area today. kari, you've been talking about the wind already picking up this morning. we've had win gusts in the mountains really high this morning. and that's the reason we have this red flag warning that continues until 5:00 this evening. all of these areas shaded in red are included and that mostly includes our elevations above 1,000 feet where we could see some gusts over 60 miles per hour but that's pushing up some high waves and we're looking at some dangerous breakers today that could reach over 25 feet. amazing to see high waves. the heads-up that you don't want to ever turn your back to the water be a keep an eye on everyone around you including your pets.

we're going to reach into the 60s but it will be windy and the winds will be picking up throughout the day. if you're like me at home home schooling and looking for opportunities for kids to get outside and get out some of that energy it will be in the mid to upper 60s for today in palo alto so it's going to be nice especially after home schooling today. the rest of the week we are looking at some storm systems approaching but they just won't bring us any rain so we're still stuck in this weather pattern where high pressure is keeping all of the rain to the north but as we go to the end of the weekend, possibly we could start to see some changes. and i'm hoping we could at least get some rain in here by the middle of december, but this week is all dry.

looking at the forecast and our fmts mostly mid to upper 60s today and tomorrow. those mornings are still going to be cold with some upper 30s heading through the end of the week it's still going to be cool but we'll be watching out for increasing clouds on sunday and possibly some rain next monday. how is it looking for the commute? we'll look at the wind advisory by the flag over in fremont. take a look at our camera right there over off 880 and you do see that flag flapping around in the breeze so that does indicate there's more wind there than a few minutes ago when we were following that. as we look at the map it's not causing a problem and you saw the traffic moving smoothly right where it says fremont there. most of the bay shows a very easy, light drive. we are looking at the bay bridge toll plaza with metering lights on. things are actually clearing up after an earlier disabled semi on the incline.

looks like that's cleared and also slowing for 980 getting over to 880. i think that incident has cleared but there was a crash reported. we'll double-check on that. back to you. all right, thank you very much, mike. 6:22 right now. it is the season of giving, but how easy is it to do during a pandemic and stay safe at the same time? >> interesting to find out the answer and stick around. how two bay area women are making the job easier. you're watching "today in the bay."

welcome back to you. 6:25 right now. as temperatures drop, two women are helping hundreds of people in the east bay. >> oh, i love this story, marcus. cynthia owns a pop-up shop in martinez along with her partner. they wanted to start a way to keep people warm. so look at this. they collect jackets and they hang them on trees downtown in martinez for those in need to just go get them. the response has been so overwhelming both in donations and then people actually taking those coats. >> this was an opportunity for us to kind of give back. it's a rough time for everybody in general and certainly it's cold and these jackets were just something that the community just loves and they're responding to it. >> one random act of kindness can create a tidal wave and that's what we're seeing. that's like the most beautiful thing. >> look at that.

they just tie them to the trees and people can get them. the women have given away hundreds of jackets and they continue to take donations. they plan on hanging more coats at least twice before christmas. i would love to see this extend through the entire bay area. >> a beautiful sight. trending for you that morning robert downey jr. pay tribute to fellow marvel star chadwick boseman during mtv's movie and tv awards special. take a look. >> the way he lived his life behind a higher purpose and that will be his legacy. >> the avengers of all have been given an opportunity to portray characters that are meaningful and hopefully memorable. mr. boseman truly embodied what it meant to be a superhero. >> boseman was named hero for the ages. mtv says, quote, that the awards honor a star whose heroes are on screen was only surpassed by the true hero they were.

6:27 right now. back to our top stories, much of the bay area waking up to the strict new shelter at home order. our live coverage resumes next. >> reporter: and coming up on "today in the bay" we break down which counties are impacted by that order, what changes you can see, and we'll introduce you to a small business owner and how they are navigating the pandemic. watching high winds gusting in parts of the north bay as we're going to see a high fire danger continuing until 5:00 today. today's ways of working may work differently tomorrow.

"today in the bay" continues right now. good monday morning to you am thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. we'll get to that commute. first we have to start with that forecast for you. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking those conditions that we're experiencing right now, kari. yeah, and the red flag

warning continues until 5:00 today. that means we have a high fire danger, all of these areas shaded in red and see winds gusting to 60 miles an hour. monitoring these conditions and we'll talk about what's ahead in the forecast. mike, how is it looking right now for the commute? kari, we'll look at the bay bridge toll plaza where it's moving better. the earlier incident cleared with a semitruck but there's a mattress. good news. it's out of lanes westbound across the span so we should still see some improvement as we look at your maps. no other problems on the span in the last couple of minutes, but 980, i've circled that and we have the crash blocking one lane. over to the nimitz, that's it. the activity on this map, everything else moves much more smoothly around the bay. back to you. thanks, mike. many californians are waking up to strict new stay-at-home orders. >> that's right. we have a live look across our state still experiencing a surge in cases and hospitalizations. these are live pictures of

cities across our beautiful state. but with everyone staying at home. here in the bay area five counties are or soon will be under full time shelter at home orders. alameda, marin, san francisco, contra costa, and santa clara counties. governor newsom says any larger regional orders will be in place until after the new year to try to flatten the curve. but it's forcing businesses on the brink of closing to shut down once again leaving them worried they can even stay afloat the second time around. >> so what does this mean for struggling business owners? how are they going to survive yet another round of those closures? "today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live for us in san francisco with just that. cierra? >> reporter: yes, good morning. right now i'm inside of maxwell's pet bar. we'll get to the business owners in a second. we want to break down before that what is changing in five of those counties. the biggest change is the restaurants indoor and outdoor

dining is both done here in those five steps. outside of that hair, nail, and personal care businesses are also being required to close along with the dmv, family entertainment, theaters can have indoor business but they must operate at a reduced capacity of 20% right now. and with all of that some businesses are allowed to remain open like this retail/service animals business. we have two business owners here. i just first want to you walk us through the decision to open in the midst of a pandemic. >> absolutely. for us it was really about timing. the opportunity was here and regardless of what was going on we wanted to follow our dream, and that was to have a business in our community. and to really share everything we learned along the way. and so when this business became available, we knew what we were getting into. we have that foresight and feel fortunate for that unlike the other businesses. our bar is set very low.

we have to weather the storm so we feel fortunate for that. >> reporter: with all of that being said you're able to open. talk to me about how the restaurants nearby, their business has impacted yours positively or negatively. >> we get a lot of foot traffic because it's on the corner, they're very busy. that will impact us. the community is working together with other small businesses to try to innovate. they have reached out and said how can we help? how can we help benefit each other? they're going to be offering a taxi service. and continuing to think outside of the box with other businesses. >> reporter: thank you so much. and we were talking off camera. there's a lot of creativity coming out with other folks doing a lot more online e-commerce and a lot of other innovative, creative things but with all of that being said you want to do what you can to keep

yourself and family safe. if you are coming no a business be sure to use the hand sanitizer, wear your mask and practice social distancing so we can do what we can to flat earn the curve. cierra johnson for "today in the bay." before you go, i want to say congratulations to them for opening a business right now but can you ask them -- i want to talk about the fear that they had creating this business, opening it in such an unstable time for businesses. can you ask them that for me, how are they overcoming that fear if they had it? >> reporter: first of all, marcus washington says congratulations in opening your business. but he wanted to ask more about the fear, the fear of opening a business. you opened around august. so this has been going on for a couple of months. talk about the fear. >> i think it's more about safety. we afforded ourselves the opportunity to open during a time we could figure out what that model would look like, offer services but in a limited

capacity so that everyone is safe. we have a lot of consistent protocols to keep everyone safe and everyone has been respectful. we have appointments. we take walk-ins if we can. but being safe. to your point, yeah, there's some fear. we've invested a lot in the business. but it's our dream and we have a lot of fashion behind it and we believe in this community. we believe businesses will come back. we feel very optimistic and that's all we can do. we also want to be here for the community and want them to know if there's anything we can do to support them if they have a pet and maybe are having a hard time, we want to be there for them. we do have the foresite. we knew what we were getting into. we can weather the storm for a while. >> reporter: that's so good to hear, willing to help the community. a lot of folks are suffering. i'm sure we're going to follow your journey as this pandemic

continues. live in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> if i had a dog i would take him there. thank you, cierra. california surpassing texas in its overall number of covid-19 cases. the state now has more than 1.34 million confirmed infections with more than 30,000 added just yesterday. about a third of the total is from l.a. county which added more than 10,000 new infections. that is a new record. "the chronicle" putting the dire situation into perspective for us here. one out of every ten californians tested for covid last week tested positive. also the state's positivity rate rose 3.5% compared to the previous week. coming up next we are kicking off a weeklong report on all things vaccine ahead of its expected arrival. >> reporter: it is an exciting week. we know the fda is going to

consider the first vaccine for approval here in the united states. we're already looking forward to what it means for those of us in the general population and how it's going to look when we finally roll up our sleeves. we have all of that coming up. plus -- president trump giving a very confusing message it to voters in georgia over the weekend. let's take you out to new york city and the big board where the stocks are up on this monday morning. they've turned negative. ♪ how cool is that? this is the home holiday light show that is catching a lot of attention as you can imagine including from the homeowners association. well, we're going to tell you what they are saying about this holiday light show of joy coming up.

let's check out our current temperatures seeing a wide range in temperatures due to the high winds with winds rushing by creating this energy that now makes it 62 degrees in santa rosa. we're going to talk more about this and what's ahead in the forecast coming up. president-elect biden's choice to lead the fight against coronavirus is our own attorney general. >> scott mcgrew, xavier becerra

the top pick to run health and human services and this was a surprise. >> it is a big surprise, some of us thought, marcus, he might be the next attorney general of the united states. the early word is biden wants him running hhs. he has been at the forefront of defending obama care, leading lawsuits, protecting california's health care in court. other agencies fighting the pandemic. earlier a powerful cadre of professionals wrote a letter appointing him to consider apointing a physician to that position. dr. deborah birx was on "meet the press" sunday where she said the pandemic this winter will be the worst thing the united states has ever faced. not the worst pandemic. the worst thing. now historians can debate that

some years from now. certainly the civil war took more lives at least so far. but today is pearl harbor day. 2,403 americans died on a day that will live in infamy. president trump was in georgia over the weekend where he talked about the election he says he won. for a time discussed how much he likes cucumbers. he's walking a fine line telling his supporters not to trust the democratic process while still encouraging them to go out and vote in two senate election that is will determine who controls the senate. here is one of the republican heads of georgia's election office. >> do you believe that the president is doing damage to the republican party in georgia by continuing to stir the pot? >> yes. >> do you think it could cost loeffler and perdue their senate races? >> yes. when he and his lawyers, former lawyers, are literally saying don't vote. it's mixed messaging. it's confusing. if you're telling people don't trust the election system, why

would they bother? >> speaking of showing up two senate debates in georgia, one featured republican kelly loeffler and her opponent rafael warnock. loeffler would not acknowledge biden won the election. david perdue's podium was empty as his challenger jon ossoff answered the moderator's questions. we're answering your questions on twitter and in your comments as well. you i'm @scottmcgrew. this morning we are kicking off our special series a race for a vaccine. and all weeklong we are reporting from right here in our covid crisis center as we answer your questions about the covid vaccine. the fda is meeting on thursday to consider approving pfizer's covid vaccine for emergency use. ucsf are telling us they would be ready to vaccinate the first health care workers to get it within hours. as we wait for our turn, all of us, we're wondering how the covid vaccine will be different from any other vaccine that

we've already gotten. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez has been digging deep into that and joins us live from san jose. kris? >> reporter: after months and months of wearing masks and social distancing, a lot of folks are saying they want to go back to normal. when it's time for us in the general population to get our vaccines it is going to feel like a flu shot even if the vaccine was developed at an extraordinary rate. >> as long as the cdc and fauci says it's okay, i trust him. >> i think covid was developed way too quickly under pressure. we need it but i think they need a little more research. >> reporter: it could be summer before most of us in the general population are eligible to get a covid vaccine, and by then there could be more than one option. the pfizer and moderna vaccines require two doses weeks apart so immunity could take a month. and while your body uses the

vaccine to create that immunity, you might experience coronavirus-type symptoms like muscle aches and fever. scientists say no worse than what you experience with the flu shot or shot for pneumonia. still with symptoms that mimic covid itself some people may need to stay home from work until they're gone but mostly people say the protection will be worth it. >> ideally, yes, of course. we want to get rid of this thing on our face and go around freely. however, i'm going to be cautious. in this stress i would like to understand what i'm putting in my body. >> i'm not one who typically jumps on every vaccine nor do i get my flu shot annually. it's not my style. however, there are a lot of elderly people in my life and i work with people. i want to protect myself but, more important, my family. >> reporter: at this point it's not clear whether we'll need a covid vaccine every year or for those of you who recovered from

covid how long you're protected from getting it again, which is why a ucsf epidemiologist tells us that convincing the public to get vaccinated is the only way out of this pandemic. >> the vaccines aren't going to save anybody. vaccination is. so having the vaccine means nothing unless people get it. we're going to have to get well in excess of 75% of people vaccinated in order to stop transmission. >> reporter: and that's that herd immunity you hear people talking about. a lot of folks have to be vaccinated before then. we will most likely get it at our regular doctor's office, maybe at the county health department. if you have a small practice that you go to but eventually you should be able to go to your regular pharmacy and get it just like you would your flu shot every year like i did last week. marcus and laura? >> kris, it's going to be hard enough to convince some people to actually get one shot let alone two like the pfizer and

moderna vaccines. is there any one-shot options coming at all? >> reporter: yes, and that is good news because the longer we wait for the general population option, we will probably have and there are two promising options that have one dose deal, the astrazeneca one that is closer to the front of the line. a little farther back is the johnson & johnson one which provides vaccination with just one dose and that is good news because, boy, people do not like getting shots although this one will be a lifesaver. >> it's been a life-changing year. thanks, kris. 6:49 for you this morning and two major california landmarks are tightening restrictions during the second shelter at home. yosemite national park will only be open for day use activities. alcatraz is off limits to visitors. an arizona homeowner says his neighborhood hoa is trying

to unplug his elaborate holiday display. ♪ ♪ that is quite the display. frank morales of tucson says he's been showing off this display for the past five years without any problems. this year, though, he's received a letter from the hoa, i should say, saying he could only show his lights until december 6th because he's been working on them for 30 days. the hoa says it will fine morales $50 a day if that display is set up. he will take the hit anyway and keep the lights up until christmas. and i can imagine his next door neighbors -- that music was a little loud even for our story. can you imagine as early as we go to bed at night? >> need those blackout shades. >> i know.

>> clearly a lot of his neighbors like it because they're donating money for that fine that he's going to get. so they're like, look, keep it going. let's check in with kari right now. we've been talking about a lot that's going on. here with our weather including our red flag warning that we have and the reason why we are under a microclimate weather alert for today we're also going to have the wind advisory continue throughout the morning as our mountains still could see some of those winds gusting over 60 miles an hour. that could translate to 45-mile-per-hour gusts in some of our valleys. all of this high wind piling up along the coast creating a high surf warning. we could see some of those breakers reaching over 25 feet today. let's go through the wind forecast because we're starting

out this morning with some gusty winds especially in the north bay. take a look at our wind speeds at about noon. we're still looking at about 35-mile-per-hour gusts and we're really going to have some of those high winds especially as you go up in elevation. as we go into today later this afternoon, the red flag warning will be allowed to expire and our wind will be calming down. we are in san jose, mostly seeing calm winds here especially in santa clara valley where you had the mountains on either side blocking those winds. so as we go into today we're going to have a lot of sunshine, take a look at our trend for today as we reach into the 60s. it's going to be a very nice day but also cooling down quickly later this evening. and then as we go around the bay area it's going to be a little bit warmer in parts of the north bay where we are getting those high winds but mostly some mid-60s, going through the week it's still going to be dry. we are still not seeing any rain moving in here, but notice all of the rain that's moving to the north of us, it looks like we could open up the door for some of that rain to start to come

into the bay area by late sunday and possibly next monday. but we do still have a very dry week ahead. so we're watching out for the fire danger for today then possibly again on wednesday. and then the rest of the forecast is looking much better as we could possibly be turning our attention to a chance of some rain in the forecast for next week. mike, you've been watching the roads and the chp issued that wind advisory for the bridges. they did so we're going to extend that just like you have about the gusty winds likely across the bay bridge. let's look at the toll plaza because the wind hasn't been the complaint. we've had a couple incidents on the span that cleared and the metering lights are on. we see real big changes over the last 20. look how clear it is. the map shows you it's slow across the entire span now because i think they sped the metering lights up. that's not a problem. that's good news as far as the rest of your commute. a smooth drive getting down into the south bay. a little slowing still shows up 101 through san jose.

very little. a live look at 101 through palo alto shows you how light on the peninsula. no major problem. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now for you wildlife experts are rescuing eight endangered giraffes stranded on an island in kenya. floodwaters caused them to get stuck in that spot. they were rescued on sunday. they were blindfolded and led to the barge that will ferry the animals to their new home. there are fewer than 3,000 of these giraffes left in the world. a look at bay area hospitalizations is next for you right here on "today in the bay." this year, xfinity internet gives you more options
