>> kicking it to the curb there. right now it's 6:00. the yeas are 322, the nays are 87. a covid relief bill finally passes congress and is signed by president trump . the senate showdown still looming over one very big key issue. plus, staying at home longer. the governor poised to extend that order for two california regions hit hard by the pandemic. the future of the bay area rules as they remain in limbo. >> and we're in the final stretch of our nourishing neighbors food drive. the simple thing you can do to feed so many families in need throughout the bay area. the third hour of "today in the bay" continues right now. a very good morning to you. the last tuesday of 2020. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia.

>> and i'm marcus washington. mike has a look at the commute. first a terrific forecast. vianey is in for kari this morning. i know yesterday we dealt with some rain but today it's pretty clear for us. >> clear to start. clear from the rain for sure at least for one more day before we see that rain move in. let's get a beautiful look. it is cold, though. as you head out the door don't forget your coat because it's in the chirts. i'll talk about what you can expect for your daytime highs. first let's check in with mike. all right. you have marcus on the weather front. let's see if we can get a terrific tuesday traffic. let's check the bay bridge toll plaza. marcus, look at this. no problems at the toll plaza. a good flow of traffic without

delay. the map will show you anything through the maze. all access, gat drive right now. a smooth flow around the rest of the bay. speed sensors even out of the altamont pass are in the green. right back to you, laura. >> thank you very much, mike. new overnight, two people found dead inside an rv in the south bay. firefighters and officers found the two just after midnight at the shopping center in san jose. police say there was nothing to indicate foul play and the case has been turned over to the santa clara county coroner's office. a big rebuke for president trump and the house of representatives and a showdown looming in the senate over how big the stimulus checks will be. "today in the bay's" chris pollone is live for us with the latest from capitol hill this morning. chris? >> reporter: marcus, good morning. the house of representatives yesterday voted to override a veto from president trump, the

first one of his presidency over that big military spending bill. the question here today in the senate is whether republicans will back the bill or the president. a bipartisan rebuke for president trump. >> the yeas 322, the nays are 87. >> reporter: more than a two-thirds house majority voting to override his veto, the first time it's happened during the prum presidency. he said it would allow for the renaming of military bases and because it fails to strip liability protections from websites over what their users post. >> the bill is passed. >> reporter: a close vote to increase coronavirus stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000, a move pushed by the president but backed by democrats. >> do you support a $2,000 -- >> yes. >> this is not a stimulus, it is

not. and it does nothing to help get people back to work. >> reporter: it sets up a test for those who oppose increasing stimulus checks. >> i am telling donald trump don't just talk about it, act. these senate republicans have followed you through thick and thin. get them now to act and support the $2,000 checks. >> reporter: there's no guarantee mitch mcconnell will bring the measure to a vote. and to that end independent vermont senator bernie sanders says he will object and try to delay a vote on the military spending bill until he is assured that there will be a vote in the senate on increasing the stimulus money. i'm chris pollone, "today in the bay." laura, back to you. >> now to the race for a vaccine. kamala harris and her husband are set to receive their first

doses. harris will join a growing number of high level officials who have been vaccinated against covid-19 including president-elect joe biden, vice president mike pence, house speaker nancy pelosi and dr. anthony fauci. >> those numbers continue to climb, more than 19 million confirmed infections since the start of the pandemic. california continues to see an uptick. the state department of health announcing more than 33,000 new cases bringing the overall total to more than 2.1 million. more than 24,000 people have died here in the state. >> you have to wonder will the governor's stay-at-home order be extended? at a news conference the governor himself says the stay-at-home order extension for certain regions is likely depending on covid-19 cases and some hospitalization numbers that will be tallied and

finalized. one says the shutdown is making it hard for his employees. >> people need to work, they have a family. >> there are two regions that are set to be extended in california, the san joaquin valley and southern california. they have an icu bed capacity of zero but the numbers in the bay area aren't as clear. the count here fluctuates daily. a decision won't be made until they take a look at the numbers finally today. a number of people are heading to the slopes. this is usually the most popular time of the year for that area. the mayor says the town can't stop people from coming. even governor newsom encouraging

people to go skiing as it is a socially distant activity. just before that stay-at-home order threshold. several chips like the princess cruises, holland america and norwegian cruise line will start docking in los angeles this week to help re-establish operations in the u.s. waters. the ships won't have passengers and will only dock to fuel and supply. they will need to show the coast guard cdc guidelines are being followed. >> some people just aren't lucky enough to go on a cruise. a tough time for a lot of bay area families. the hunger at home group will hold a meal distribution group. they are asking governor newsom to keep the national guard

deployed. they are looking for a one-year extension. an easy way you can help if you feel the need to give is through our nourishing neighbors food drive, it's been running all season. the next time you pass by a safeway store make a $10 donation or more. that money will go straight to local food banks. today is the final day for our food drive. thanks to so many of you who have tributed. >> so easy to do. mt. hamilton there treated to a light dusting of snow yesterday. this comes from a camera around 10:30 yesterday morning. it was gone by early afternoon, yesterday. it came, it went. but what about the sierra, vianey? are we seeing a lot more snow up in that area? we will pretty soon with the upcoming storms heading into the first week of january and a live look right now along i-80 near caltrans cameras.

you can see some dangerous travel is expected up through january. let's get a look at the snowpack to see where we currently stand. statewide we're at about 55% of average. the north about 56%. about 33% but we have plenty of opportunity for accumulation. so let's take a look at what we're tracking heading into the weekend and early next week. it says tuesday, january 5th. so this is accumulations over the next couple of days and check out kingvale which is where the camera was. 57 inches up through kingvale. truckee, 32 inches. a lot of fresh powder up there. that will make for dangerous travel. something we'll keep an eye out for. mike, over to you. >> right, vianey. we watch the conditions and watch the travel restrictions and listen to the folks from tahoe for what their requests

are. out to the roadways safe conditions for the drive as well. no delay getting to or through the toll plaza. the north bay, east bay, contra costa county looking great. there is a minor delay from sf to sfo. nothing major for people riding. >> for many of us the covid vaccination can't come soon enough. the technology that might make the process as easy as pressing download on your phone. >> i feel like a broken record saying the stock market is at new reports but they are and things are looking even better today. a touching story going viral from weird al yankovich. a drawing from 50 years ago led to the reunion that will really

melt your heart. grab your tissues. we'll be right back.

good morning. it is 7:13 and these are your temperatures out the door. novato 36 degrees, san jose and los gatos a chilly 39 degrees. upper 50s and low 60s, a dry day ahead. big changes are on the way.

let's check in with mike, first. >> great driving conditions right now. a little build through the richmond bridge toll plaza over the bay to san rafael. no major problems. we'll check when things are busier to the south of there across the bay bridge coming up. good morning. happy tuesday to you as well. more records on wall street even as we get close to the end of the year when we normally see a dip. the dow set a new record with the high as did the s&p 500 and the nasdaq. the nasdaq up more than 40% on the year. investors feel tech stocks are a sieve bet. we may not know what the future holds but it probably involves an iphone and netflix as well. it's unlikely the senate will pass what president trump and the democrats want.

as chris pollone was showing us there was some republican support those $2,000 checks. we'll talk more about that. it does not look like the president will get his way on section 230, the changes he wants to the communications laws so that websites and social networks like twitter and facebook would have greater legal liability for what people post. the president says that will mean twitter will censor him less. experts say the opposite is actually true. if social networks lose their legal protections under section 230, they'll censor more messages from more people not fewer. the president wanted the rule change as part of the defense spending bill and when it wasn't there he vetoed the bill. congress is in the process of overriding the veto this morning. far bigger issue for president trump as far as twitter goes is what happens when three weeks from now he's just a regular

american? twitter sometimes suspends accounts from regular americans if they say some of the things the president has been saying as president on twitter. american airlines will fly the first paying customers aboard a boeing 737 max since the two crashes of that airplane. the faa says the plane is safe to fly again. the flight takes off from miami at 7:30 our time heading to new york. sam brock will have more on the "today" show about that. a recent poll shows most americans who know about the 737 max will not fly it. that same poll shows most americans aren't conscious of the airplane's past. speaking of numbers the tsa says a record number of people are flying, the most since march. this despite warnings, really pleas not to do so. they've established flying itself is reasonably safe but what you're doing when you get

there, visiting with family outside your bubble or other things is not safe and the government says, scientists say, don't do it. >> a lot of people are. >> yeah. >> thanks, scott. some much-needed help for small businesses struggling to make it could be on the way soon. starting tomorrow indeed. the state will open up applications to its relief grant program, qualifying businesses up to $25,000 in grants. now it's focused on those underserved most. businesses have until midnight january 8th to apply. something that could be key to gaining normalcy as the covid vaccine starts to roll out. new high-tech apps helping you prove you've received the vaccine once you do. for the moment the paper card issued by the cdc is the only

thing handed out. apps are being created to use technology that's already used for concerts and airline travel. weird al yankovich can make a lot of us laugh but now a story to brighten up the end of the year. >> i love this story. a former classmate wrote him on twitter how she used to sit in front of him during their ninth grade math class. he had a crush on her. he was shy back then so wasn't able to show his affection but he did through a drawing, a picture of her. >> weird al asked if she remembered the photo and she replied with this, the picture she had actually saved for all these years, isn't that sweet? it was 50 years ago. >> i met my fiance in college

and i have a picture of us over 30 years ago. and we both saved it so it was kind of cool. we had a good friendship back then. >> how can that be? you are 29. >> i almost hesitated when i said the year. but i've been doing "today in the bay" for 20 years so i guess you can do a little bit of the math. >> when you look good like you do age does not even matter at all. >> how is this turning into age? this is about love. >> love doesn't age. >> marcus, toss to vianey. >> take it, vianey. >> look at the moon. moonstruck. we have a beautiful live look at the moon from palo alto. i googled what the phase of the moon was this morning or not even yet. the sunshine. we have the waxing, illumination

at 100% right now. how stunning is that moon? great shot there. and it's making it easy for us to see the movie because we don't have a lot of cloud cover. it's making for a much colder morning. 37 degrees right now in walnut creek. we have clear skies to start. and we're going to expect to see the 30s through the interior valleys as well. over san francisco 42 degrees and 30s down through the south bay as well. san had he say 39 degrees. so it's chilly as you head out. paints the picture of what's to come. you can see the storm off in the pacific right there. let's talk about the timing. we have our mobile doppler radar. enjoy today's dry weather. temperatures in the upper 50s, low 60s. very seasonable for this time of year, that's for sure. long-range outlook, this is what we're monitoring. so we have some rain moving in

late tomorrow. we're going to start out dry and then a quick moving system moving from north to south overnight into really early thursday morning. a couple hundredths of an inch. our greater rain chance will move in. into saturday, sunday and another storm expected to trickle in heading into monday and even tuesday of the first week of january, maybe even longer. we're settling into an active weather pattern. as i mentioned not a huge rainmaker. just a couple hundredths of an inch starting out in the north bay, probably will see the higher rain totals. definitely going to want to take out the rain boots for kids and umbrella. you will need them heading into the next couple of days. mike, i will send it over to you.

vianey, you got to show folks the beautiful view of the moon. the bay bridge toll plaza, the phase is december, late december phase which is why the traffic is so light. you do have a good amount of traffic. road work going on toward 29th that really stopped stuff up. a smooth drive at contra costa county and the approach to the bay bridge and the for the bay into san francisco from that stretch of the golden gate. even the altamont pass is at speed. new developments surrounding the bombing in nashville. what investigators are still trying to nail down and the new clue coming to light. plus, some are calling this modesto man a modern day st.

francis. the help he's bringing to animals in need. you're watching "today in the bay."

6:25 and developing now investigators in nashville are still searching for a motive in the christmas day bombing. a look at the moment right after that powerful explosion. body camera footage of an officer who was nearby. let's take a look.

that explosion damaged more than 40 businesses, buildings, and even injured three people and killing the suspect. investigators say anthony warner is responsible. president-elect joe biden says he was briefed on that investigation, and he took time to condemn domestic attacks. it took more than four months for the czu and scu fires now considered completely controlled. cal fire made that declaration which means the fires are fully extinguished and no chance of them reigniting. >> burned more than 86,000 acres. the scu fire scorched parts of multiple counties including santa clara, contra costa and alameda. it charred nearly 400,000 acres. 6:26. now to something good in the central valley. one veterinarian walking the streets and treating homeless

people's animals for free. 49-year-old stewart lives in modesto and is known as the street vet. he got the idea in 2007 when the recession hit. some of the mon ill common illns allergies, even arthritis. he raises funds to get supplies and the treatment needed for those animals. really giving to give that much time. >> nice to see. nice to see. coming up for you next, stay-at-home orders likely to be extended today. two regions that will have to shelter in place longer and why the bay area isn't one of them. vaccination time line trouble. what experts say is keeping vaccines from getting into the arms of more americans. you're watching "today in the bay."

it's going to be really scary for small business. especially since we can't eat outdoors. >> the dire setbacks restaurants and businesses say they're facing as the governor warns that our stay-at-home order could be extended. rolling out the help to help those falling financially behind. >> who is set to get the next round of vaccines. also, what's being done to speed up the process. "today in the bay" continues

right now. hard to believe only three more days left of "20/20." i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. let's get you started. we'll get to that commute in a bit with mike. let's start with vianey in for kari with a look at the forecast for us. good morning. it is dry and cold right now. 37 degrees in novato. napa, 37. look at livermore, 34 degrees. san jose 39. certainly a cold start to our morning but by the afternoon it's actually going to shape up to be a very nice day ahead. we're talking mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 50s, low 60s throughout the bay area. so you don't have to worry about the rain for today, but you will over the next couple of days. i'll go into more detail on that. first, let's check in with mike. >> vianey, you don't have to worry about much of an issue for drivers. do mind the speed limit, of

course. the temptation is there. the map shows you green sensors. i did find some slowing. reports of a disabled vehicle. there was slowing. the live look shows you up to 29th where we had slowing they were getting one vehicle over to the shoulder. it's there now safely and you see the easy drive. back to you. >> here is another live look across the bay this morning. as covid cases continue to rise and availability of icu beds is falling there's a strong chance the current stay-at-home orders could be extended. cierra johnson joins us to break down when local leaders could make that call. cierra?

kr >> reporter: that recent stay-at-home order and recent language there's a chance that stay-at-home order could be extended. monday governor gavin newsom held an update where he not only provided an update on the number of covid cases and icus but other regions of the state and where they stand with the stay-at-home order. san joaquin valley and southern california will have orders extended and both have zero icu available. the bay area, the governor says the numbers are seeming to fluctuate and he will make that decision based on the numbers collected this week. he'll use that data to make that decision. for business owners and restaurant owners and customers that uncertainty is pretty nerve-racking. >> i think it will be scary for small business and especially since we can't eat outdoors

anymore. >> reporter: we will get more information on the covid numbers as well as where the order stands. there will be an update from dr. ghali. we'll have a little bit more information to present to you all. >> we'll be watching and waiting. thanks so much, cierra. 6:34. a close being look at why those restrictions may be extended. you see right there zero percent icu beds available. the bay area dropped to 9%. here is a closer look for you by the county. six counties there in the red zone. fr napa, san mateo and marin. solano county dropped below 15% yesterday. santa clara county with 2

million people has 5% available. local senior living facilities in sonoma county. according to "the press democrat. "the county was on tap to receive 5,800. 2 million have been vaccinated so far. this is falling short of the goal to get 20 million by the end of the month. it is complex and due to several steps to make sure someone is fully vaccinated. >> we have an outstanding team that's been able to deliver quite rapidly. it still will require some additional logisticlogistics. people 75 and older, teachers,

child care workers, grocery store workers and farmworkers. >> now to a live look at capitol hill where the president has signed a covid relief bill. they have been calling for help for months and can once again receive forgivable loans. people making under $75,000 a year will be getting $600. the house hopes to increase to $2,000. the senate must agree as it votes today. ten months in some say it's not enough. >> every small business owner is in that position, i'll take anything i can get. $600 is great. $2,000 is better. this is literally like putting a band-aid on a massive laceration. >> reporter: the bill extends the eviction moratorium for another month. the owner of you balance fitness studios is hoping to keep his studios in place and get back to work. a san francisco city leader is

trying to help the nightlife. supervisor matt haney is pushing for a new covid-19 relief fund. it would go to san francisco nightclubs. recent press release from supervisor's office cites a city controller's report that shows san francisco nightlife is responsible for more than $7 billion annually. employs more than $63,000 people and generated $80 million in payroll and sales tax. >> the bay area is an expensive place to live. bloomburg "businessweek" looked at the data to understand how much someone's salary could change compared to the cost of living. the two worst cities are here in the bay area. for someone making $100,000 a year you may want to reconsider. san jose as the worst place to move with that salary followed

by san francisco. so this means that your salary won't match how expensive it is to live here and houston named as the best place to live if you make $100,000 a year. kris? >> reporter: hi there, marcus. the former houstonite myself i can say a nice city for living. we have a lot of testing going on here. a lot of folks looking to see if a negative test can let them celebrate with family and friends comfortably. we'll tell you what doctors say about that strategy and we'll show you why the testing site at this library in palo alto where i am is different and might appeal to you if you don't like the looks of those nasal probes. some strange bedfellows this morning in washington as president trump throws his support behind bernie sand eers and called the republican party names. plus, anyone can cook but

only the fearless can be great. details of a new musical life on social media.

good morning. it is 6:41 right now. a beautiful view over san jose. a look at your headlines this morning starting out with cold 30s and low 40s. sunshine and dry weather is ahead.

let's check in with mike. i too have taken the south bay. head lets going north past 280. today we didn't see the first. there's something new for the tri-valley coming up. it's 6:42. president trump says republican leadership is weak and tired. >> scott mcgrew, he's aligning himself with democrats and bernie sanders on the issue. >> at least one issue, yes. this is strange days indeed, isn't it? democrats and president trump both want $2,000 stimulus checks. republicans are standing in the way. that has their leader, donald trump, quite angry this morning. add to that republicans in the senate publicly rebuking the president by probably overturning one of thinks vetoes for the very first time. that has led president trump to

tweet that republican leadership is weak and tired. a lot of action in congress you need to know about. the passage of a bill in the house that would increase the stimulus payments to $2,000 supported by trump and the democrats. the overriding of the president's veto on the defense bill. it wasn't just house democrats voting yes. so now that the house has overridden the veto it's up to the senate to do the same. senator bernie sanders has indicated he will hold up the vote unless mitch mcconnell agrees to a vote on increasing those stimulus checks to $2,000. something mcconnell doesn't even want to bring to the floor for a vote. the president has re-tweeted his support for bernie sanders on twitter. donald trump, bernie sanders and

the democrats are on the same side on one issue, stimulus checks. senate republicans now have to decide when it comes to two issues, the stimulus check and the defense bill, whether they stand with the president or the republican party and their stated goals. there are 22 days until joe biden is president. he says the civilian leadership of the defense department and the office of management and budget are not working closely enough with his transition team, something those offices deny. and just a week nm the georgia elections that will determine the future of the senate. if both democrats win there, the senate will be controlled by the democrats. if one loses the senate stays in the hands of republicans. so our eyes are on congress this morning, so many strange bedfellows. we're tweeting about it. i'm @scottmcgrew. >> thanks so much, scott. 6:44. the covid surge continues and a

lot of people are turning to testing but not exclusively because they feel sick but to see if they're in the clear to celebrate with friends and family. kris sanchez joins us live where a new self-testing site opens today. kris? >> reporter: hi there, laura. for folks who have avoided testing because they don't like the looks of that deep nasal swab, this might be the test for those folks. here at mitchell park library the self-testing will allow people to be able to swab themselves and, better news, this is a swabbing of the pout only, no deep nose probing. a trained observer will be watching. except during high demand periods and there is a lot of demand this week. bay area hospitals seeing a surge in patients pushing hospitals to the brink for any

patient needing intensive care. as we saw with thanksgiving and christmas a lot of people are looking to have new year's celebrations. doctors repeat as they have that this strategy is flawed. >> there is an intubation period and superspreader events and there are asymptomatic people that can spread it, too. we don't know what the peak will be and that's the frightening part. we are already overwhelmed with the number of patients coming in. >> reporter: the emergency room is for emergencies only and should not be used as a testing site. self-testing here at mitchell park library starts at 10:00 this morning. it will happen on tuesday. if this isn't in your neighborhood there's a testing site near you. our coronavirus section, you can find all of the testing locations all around the bay area.

laura? >> and hopefully it will break it down showing whether you have to pay or make an appointment as well. >> kris, i want to ask you this, what is all the testing showing? >> reporter: at this point there was a little lull because of the holiday, because of christmas. more than 1,700 new cases just yesterday and the seven-day positivity rate is now 7.7%, which is much higher than it has to be if we want to come down in those tier levels and start opening up our businesses and sending the kids back to school. we'll keep watching. thanks, kris. a live look over los angeles and anyone thinking of going to the city for n year's eve, health officials are issuing a ten-day quarantine.

for the past few weeks l.a. county has been between 13,000 and 15,000 new infections each day. southern california also continues to deal with zero percent icu bed capacity. the warriors have a chance to get back to .500 with a win tonight taking on the pistons in detroit. draymond green could be back. the warriors are playing the blazers. green missed all of training camp because of a positive coronavirus test and a right foot injury. so trending this morning get ready to say bonjour to a disney movie turning into a musical. and it promotes anyone can cook. here is a hint. ♪ that i can cook with you helping me ♪ >> oh, wow. look at that.

>> something to think about but we don't have the rain today, vianey. yeah, not for today but don't put the umbrella too tucked away. you will need it eventually later into the week. i love seeing the videos of southern california of the kids jumping in puddles from the rain that we got over the weekend into monday morning. they're going to get another chance to jump in puddles this week. walnut creek right now 37 degrees. it's such a cold start. that's because we have clear skies. that makes for a chillier start. san francisco 42 degrees. a beautiful view there. and how about a live look over downtown san jose. a cold 39 degrees. it showcases how much colder we are today compared to yesterday. napa 14 degrees colder. and down through the livermore/concord area. how are we going to be shaping up this afternoon.
