no american president has ever been impeached twice. and this morning we're learning about growing support among republicans including reports that mitch mcconnell is on board. we're tracking it all with live reports standing by this third hour of "today in the bay" which continues right now. good morning, of course we'll head to washington for you, but first let's get a look at our forecast for today. should be nice, kari. >> it will be nice. we've seen a lot of clouds and some rain just to our north of us, still lingering spotty sprinkles for some of the neighbors in the north bay. but overall in the east bay, it will be a dry commute. clouds to start, but sunshine this afternoon. and it will be feeling more like spring as we head through this forecast. so we'll talk more about that coming up.

vianey, how is the commute looking? for it being 6:00 a.m., it is doing pretty good. there is a building commute, but not because of any accidents. just more cars on the road. from 101 to highway 85, 22 minutes. a live look at capitol hill where just moments ago, the house was set to begins process to impeach president trump for a second time. >> tracie potts is standing by live near washington following all of the developments. tell us exactly what is happening right in minute. >> reporter: so this proceeding just got under way. let's take a live look insides u.s. capitol where we will see lawmakers speaking later today. so the time lean are a couple procedural votes and then two hours of debate, both sides

explaining why they think the president should or should not be impeached. after that, the final vote which is expected to come midafternoon sometime assuming they take i stay on schedule. president trump and nancy pelosi on opposite sides of this, pelosi named the nine house managers or essentially prosecutors who will tell their story and make the case for president trump beingcitement o against the united states government. that is the charge in the one article of impeachment. the president in his first comments since the riot happened last week said that people had no problem with what he said, and that this impeachment has he has repeated will you soefrd the years is a hoax. this will be the first time a president is impeached twice. and it looks like they probably haves votes to do so including five saying that they will be

voting yes for impeachment along with democrats. so we'll watch for that today. and then of course all of this falls in the lap of the senate where they may or may not have a trial, maybe before or maybe after inauguration day. >> and it is really unclar, the constitution says nothing about the accusation but trying a president after he is not president anymore. >> reporter: right, some legal experts say if they push this past january 20th, then it is not legit to have a trial at all. but the senate wasn't scheduled to come back until just before the inauguration. so they can't turn around and do a trial that quickly unless they bring people senator mitch mcconnell the top republican in the senate according to the "new york times" is in favor of impeachment but was unclear i oe

through a trial to find this president guilty. >> and when that report came on my phone, i just gasped. tracie potts, thank you so much. we're of course watching the white house waiting for any reaction from president on what is happening on capitol hill. for updates on the political firestorm, you can always visit nbcbayarea.com for up to the minute reports. we're also covering the pandemic as well which has led so many children to learn from home, distance learning. and parents in san ramon say that they are fed up with distance learning. and they want their voices known. they want their kids black on campus and they want to out school board members standing in the way. and bob riedel is joining us live. >> reporter: yes, there will be a sit-in protest at berkeley

unified. parents caravanned their cars outside district headquarters and honked their horns trying to send a message to the school board that it is time to reopen their children's schools for in-person instruction. the argument being that virtual classroom is not enough, that their kids are failing as a result. some parents want three school board members recalled. school districts have been told that they have to come up with a comprehensive plan before they can reopen. california schools cannot reopen until covid cases fall to 28 cases per 100,000 people. but covid-19 infections in california right now are at an

all-time high. >> while we're in purple tier, we cannot open for in-person instruction that they are looking for. >> kids are not thriving. kids need to be in school. >> i haven't been able to see my friends. i need teacher support and i'm not getting it. >> they are trying to keep us safe, but it is worse to be at my desk alone all day. >> reporter: later this morning on "today," they will look at how teachers are fairing ten months into the pandemic, what are their concerns, do they feel safe returning to the classroom. and starting at 8:45 this morning, parents of students of the berkeley unified school district, they will con difficult a sit-in at thousand oaks elementary to demand thath.

bob redell, "today in the bay." happening today, san mateo county health leaders plan to hold a virtual meeting about vaccinations. they have the only drive-thru vaccination clinic at this time. and now entering its third day at the event center. in the meantime sonoma county starts their new partnership with safeway. pharmacists will help vaccinate in-home health care workers. the covid outbreak itself at kaiser is continuing to grow. at least 78 e. . workers have

tested positive. and a christmas day costume may have triggered the outbreak. the person wearing it had covid and it was the county is still investigating. sacramento is back in business. the state lifted the greater region stay-at-home order putting it back in the purple tier. so green light for outdoor dining and salons. and the icu bed availability is almost 10%. 15% is the target. the governor feels that sacramento is going in the right direction. >> we're starting to see some stabilization both in the ichlts cus as well as positivity rate. we're also starting to see the rates of growth forizions begin e. and the bay area, we are well below that magic 15%

thresholds and we've been there for nearly a month. december 16th, the bay area dropped to 13% and then this week hit an all-time low of 0 0.7%. there is a small sign of hope, but cautions there. icu availability had jumped up, but remember that thanes for two reasons, one, somebody gets better, the other is they die. if you live in san francisco, it doesn't look like anything will open anytime soon. health leaders say restrictions will likely remain in place through the end of the month. and access to the vaccine for most is still months away. that coupled with rising hospitalization in cases means the city simply can not reopen. >> we must continue to work to flatten this curve. we need to turn this around.

the current trajectory is not sustainable. >> since the holidays, cases have gone up 28%. one area sure to benefit from the greater sacramento regional reopening is lake tahoe. this is just days before martin luther king jr. holiday. ski resorts are exempt from the recent shutdown orders. there have been long lines at some of the lifts. struggling businesses though have been having a really tough time. the weather has been lovely everywhere and that will continue. >> it will continue. and another thing too, we have only made about half of the normal amount of snow and of course we just need to wait a little bit longer before we travel and then we'll be able to fully enjoy it.

to let the kids get a break from home schooling and get out and get some fresh air in the backyard. we're starting out with the low 50s. get more sunshine as we med into the mid-60s. and we're seeing still dry weather. and the same the rest of the week. so how much rain do we need? of course we didn't want it all at once, but taking santa rose, we need over 11 inches of rain to just make it to the normal point. and then looking at oakland and san francisco, we have some huge deficits here over 7 inches. and san jose is not even with an inch of rain yet. so as we compare to what we 2450ed and what we've measured

compared to normal, only so let's just enjoy the sunshine. it will feel more like spring. concord will have the highs into the mid-60s be and look at martin luther king day, it will reach into the low 70s. you may have the day off of work , enjoy the time outside. and so the taste of spring will continue into next week with a lot more of this dry weather continuing into at least next tuesday. out the door for work, vianey, how is it looking for the commute? let's talk about the updates on crashes. south bay, we're doing good. you could still run into issues

report broke 8 minutes. but things are slowing on to slow down heading toward the bay bridge. about 15 minutes. san mateo bridge, 15 minutes. and now live to the house of representatives where the hearing to impeach president trump just getting under way. it could conclude as early as this afternoon though debate won't begin for a few hours. tracie potts is tracking this every step of the way. this is happening, only one republican supported invoking the 25th amendment. many more support to remove the president through impeachment. >> reporter: right. and not a ton, but the fact that any republicans would support democrats on this is noteworthy. last thiem around, first time the president was impeached, no republicans voted in support of

impeachment. this time as of this morning we have five who have said that they will vote yes with democrats to impeach this president. we'll see debate on that and then a vote sometime midafternoon. we have also watching what happens when it lands in the senate where the "new york times" is reporting that mitch mcconnell the top republican on capitol hill privately supports impeachment. now, wheth thaer means that he would bring the senate back early and support an impeachment trial, that is a different story. he certainly is under some pressure to do so and there are legal questions about whether there is a trial after january 20th would be legal at all. >> we've seen a number of organizations drop trump. deutsche bank was a big one. and now new yk cior is also ending its dealingsith donald

trump. >> yeah, new york weighed in saying that they will no longer -- they have three contracts with the trump properties and they will no longer do business with them because of their belief that the president incited this riot. they say they don't want anything to it do with any business ties with that. children's carousel in central park is one of those. the trump organization operates carousel and they want to get out of that contract. some could take a month or so, but the bottom line, the city of energy is saying no thank you to anything related to president trump after these impeachment articles and what happened last week here on capitol hill. >> it is a bit surreal that in all of in new york city has

decided the trump organization can't be trusted to run a carousel. and the hoist is beginning the historic impeachment. and when they do impeach, the house will immediately bring those charges to the senate today. for updates on all of this, visit nbcbayarea.com. and we are still in a pandemic. and in santa clara county, the coronavirus will claim its 1,000th victim soon. and while hospitals try to make more room for people that are trying to deal with covid, trying to fight for their lives to stay alive, the county is trying to shift its focus now to vaccinations. let's check in with kris sanchez with more on that part of the story. >> reporter: levi stadium is a

positive try to deal with the bholgts neck in covid vaccinations. and the death rate is on the rides and public health leaders say three hospitals are at capacity or near capacity and they brought in refrigerators to hold bodies before they can be moved. and mass vaccination is a critical part of the fight. l.a. already transformed dodger stadium to a vaccination site that could deliver up to 12,000 vaccines when it is fully operational. in san diego, the tail gate lot could deliver up to 5,000 shots a day by the end of the the week. >> certainly getting the vaccine out to these large centralized sites will be very, very helpful in terms of getting a larger

proportion of the population immunized. >> reporter: long term care facilities are still getting their shots. and the next tier includes those 75 and older but the cdc is pushing people to advantage nature those 65 and older and those with health conditions because they say that there is enough vaccines in storage now and pfizer can keep up with the demand. the california national guard is now helping to vaccinate in sacramento. the county says that the extra vaccines are not true and they are investigating where the notices are coming from. but i may get a notice from your health care provider that your place in line is starting to move forward. but definitely wait until you get the official word before you try to book an appointment.

kris sanchez, "today in the bay". only 13 days into 2021 and many are taking advantage of the state's health care insurance marketplace. state officials say 1.6 million people have obtained health insurance through covered california so far this year amid the pandemic. that is nearly 200,000 more people compared with the same time last year. covered california ceo says those 718,000 people who need coverage live in southern apply have until january the debate about one of the mos. >> yeah, lucille ball.

amazon is producing a bio pic and her husband. it will be written and directed by aaron sorkin. who will be lucille ball? any. >> caller: kid man there on the left has the we hear nicole kidman has the inside track, but don't count debra messing out just yet. >> just like candy. >> so that is messing campaigning for the role actively retweeting fans who point out pictures that she's a per picture fit. recalling that bit during will and grace. and even valerie bertinelli tweets that messing was robbed.

>> not only did i watch lucille ball, but producers behind "star trek." did you know that? >> you're saying like dsi arnaz, that company? >> yeah, they were the masterminds behind "star trek." >> wow. that is interesting. >> yeah, a little trivia for this morning. >> what a classic couple. all right. let's check the forecast for today. looking forward to this wednesday morning. although we really need the rain. but these days are turning almost spring-like. >>. >> yeah, and we'll start to feel that this afternoon. so in between home schooling today, looking for break to get out in the backyard in the north bay, let's check out napa. we're starting out some low 50s and this is well above normal today.

check out oakland, 65. san francisco in the upper 50s. and for the north bay, napa expect a high of 64 degrees. so not bad at all, seven day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen, showing nothing but sunshine. so let me show you why because high pressure is blocking any chance of these storms coming in. they have had a lot of rain over the pacific northwest. with a whole atmospheric river rolling through and we've been missing out on all of that rain. and that is a shame because we still need a of course we do not want it all at throug 11 inches. check out oakland, san francisco, we need over 7 inches of rain to just make it to where we should be for this time.

and in san jose, we haven't even made an inch of rain. so only 16% of our normal amount of rainfall at this point. and you can see san francisco not even made 30%. and so now with a lack of rain, it will warm up and we'll see some big warming, checking out con card, some low 70s for the long weekend. so a lot of people will have off from work and school on monday. now as i head back to you, we'll have a look at the dry weather in and we are sroads. a couple of fender-benders, but no major accidents to report. right now you our traffic map, things are moving along nicely. a little bit of a slowing because of the traffic build. so a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza, we're starting to notice building drive times.
