>> all right. as we head out around san francisco and the rest of the bay area in some spots you can barely see anything. we've had really dense fog deal this morning and this shows the current visibility in miles per hour and a lot of our airports we are seeing the visibility in the north bay down to a quarter mile or less, so really dense fog as well as down to morguele hill, san martin three-quarter mile visibility. we will see it clear by late morning and where we're headed for our afternoon high temperatures. 70 degrees, the middle of january talking about 70 degree temperatures. now keep in mind that we should be at about 56, 57 degrees for a high and usually we're getting some rain, right. we're not seeing that in the forecast. in fact, as we take a look at all of the billion dollar disasters we had in 2020, there were 22, billion dollar

disasters and for us the drought and then the wildfires. this came out from noaa and they were pointing out all of these different areas across the country last year that had those disasters. hopefully we can just quiet it down for this year, but we are starting out with some really dry conditions as high pressure blocks our chances of getting ne rain as we go into at least the next week, so we'll have to watch out for the potential of more drought conditions here. as we look at our record highs that will be possible today, we'll be close as we reach into the upper 60s and low 70s. and we'll see more weather like this extending into the weekend and early next week but for some it's a long holiday weekend, we're not going to get some rain, it is nice we're going to get some comfortable temperatures. i'll have more on that coming up. vianey, what's going on for the morning commute? >> the morning commute is pretty quiet although i am taking advantage of the spring temperatures to get a little pre-spring cleaning done around here, so that's always nice. a little bit organizing.

possible. >> reporter: it's a one step process, use it sooner rather than later. it's that simple. here's why. all gift cards are under a triple threat, hacking thieves, forgetful owners and stores that might go under. thieves steal millions from gift cards in various ways. we've dealt with cases where shoppers told us someone else drained their gift card electronically, often they held the card for a while giving crooks weeks or months to hack in and nothing cap be done to get their money back. use your asap. if you decide to hold on to one, there's a chance you will lose your balance. yelp says 97,000 businesses have closed since the beginning of the pandemic when businesses permanently close gift card holders often get nothing and many are lost or forget. so many that $3 billion worth go unredeemed each year according to an estimate. that money goes back to stores.

so if you've wondered why gift card racks are everywhere these days, there's your answer. if you're unhappy with the giver's choice we have two ways to redeem without buying from the store on the front side. option a, look at the backside. many stores are part of a larger group. it's possible your gift card can be used at sister stores dollar for dollar. option b, consider selling on the secondary ma market and get cash for your plastic. don't expect to be paid for face value. the market makes money buying at a steep discount and reselling them closer to face value. there are other options like donating, swapping or regifting. but the same bottom line rules still apply, use them asap. coming up, growing covid outbreaks. a surge of cases inside one bay area jail and another bay area hospital triggering new concerns.

high temperatures, more dry weather, we need rain, but we're going to talk more about all of that and the low visibility that we're seeing as you get ready to head out the door. watch out for the fog in the south county and north bay, it's down to zero right now as you pass through novato. we're going to talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. vianey, hopefully that's going to be the only issue. >> overall, we've managed to stay pretty clear when it comes to the roads, however i did see this pop up on the chp report southbound 880 near 16th. a little fender bender, nothing major but as you know any time there's a car on the side of the road that creates a task hazard. aside from that, the east bay drive times not affected there. north bay 880ara to broadway, only 9 minutes. scott? >> vianey, for a second time president trump's been impeached. it took just over a year. a live look at the capitol quiet

this morning. yesterday anything but as history was made. it seems fairly certain a new senate trial will be held. it's likely to begin after president trump leaves office. he was impeached yesterday largely among party lines but ten republicans, including a former federal prosecutor, joined every house democrat in accusing president trump of high crimes and misdemeanors. kristen welker has more from washington. >> reporter: hi, scott and laura, good morning to both of you. president trump is waking up to that extraordinary reality he has now been impeached twice, the second time in just over a year and what makes yesterday's vote so extraordinary, it was the most bipartisan impeachment in u.s. history. every house democrat and ten republicans voting to accuse president trump of high crimes and misdemeanors. house speaker nancy pelosi making it official late wednesday, signing that impeachment into law accusing the president of inciting an

insurrection for his fiery comments ahead of the riots on the capitol just last week. now the president is facing bipartisan backlash, not only ten republicans who broke with him but republican leaders, leader mccarthy really slamming president trump for his words and actions saying that impeachment is just not the right action. that was the republican argument. all eyes now head to the senate where majority leader mitch mcconnell has said that he is not going to bring up those articles of impeachment for a trial until after president trump leaves office. he's also said he's undecided on how he will vote. just to take you inside the white house for a moment, this is the president who is increasingly isolated and defiant. unlike the first impeachment when the west wing was buzzing with legal advisors and aides and allies eager to defend president trump, yesterday this was virtually a ghost town and all of the president's surrogates were largely silent.

that is the backdrop as this heads to the senate. guys, back to you. >> thanks so much. 5:34. governor newsom suddenly opening up covid vaccinations to anyone 65 and older but the plan is being met with a little bit of apprehension among local public health leaders. kris sanchez joins us this morning. the problem is there aren't enough vaccines at this point. >> you know, public health leaders are saying how with re going to vaccinate a segment when we haven't gotten enough vaccines for our health care workers or they might deplete the reserved for health care workers. governor newsom was at a mass vaccination site yesterday when he made the announcement people 65 and up can roll up their sleeves. bay area county leaders want to know where they will get the doses for that. santa clara county is working to

vaccinate health care workers and beyond that they're planning for people 75 years and up, not 65 and up. in san mateo county leaders say they won't have enough vaccines for the first wave of the public unless they get more from the state. they are also doing a mass vaccination site for their health care workers. in alameda county the chronicle reports that the vaccine website crashed under the crush of people trying to sign up after the governor's announcement and the marn i.j. reports they got accidental invitations though they weren't eligible. the county echos a complaint, the send large health care providers their california law signed a letter to the governor demanding transparency from the providers and asking for a reliable dose forecast for what's coming their way. in an nns exclusive, governor newsom says logistics are a

challenge. >> sent directly to providers throughout the states and in each and every instance there's protocols, procedures, processes, local health officers, counties, direct providers themselves, clinics, hospitals, so it's all of those nuances that make this more complex. >> reporter: in southern california the rollout is going more smoothly. in orange county disneyland is open to vaccinate up to 3 hun,000 people a day. when the county's app crashed. mass vaccination sites are already working in l.a. at dodger stadium and at the padres stadium in san diego and they're doing thousands of vaccinations a day. laura and scott? >> you know, cyst, i'm curious how california is comparing with other states? >> you know, we're such a massive state, we got 2.5

million doses of the vaccine so far, california, has administered 900,000. not even half of the vaccines that we have at this point. we are still working through our health care workers. >> yeah. long way to go. thanks a lot, kris. california continues to record more than 30,000 cases daily with infections topping more than 2.7 million. the bay area now has more than 320,000 cases with nearly 3200 lives lost. san quentin prison is reporting 2200 cases so far and 28 deaths. the records are separate from the overall bay area totals. there's a new covid outbreak at the jail system. 109 cases now a majority of them are not at the main jail, they're at elmwood in mill pe tis. those are the highest inmate infection numbers since the start of the pandemic. also reports of a covid outbreak at a north bay care
