welcome back. taking a live look from the east bay, overlooking oakland this morning. folks up and out the door, looks like early on this friday morning, perhaps a jump on the weekend, a little wishful thinking. it is early, 4:47 right now. let's look at the forecast right now meteorologist kari hall. >> good morning, and even though we are seeing some nice spring-like weather across the bay area, i do have some things i am watching as we head through the forecast. we have these big waves returning to the coastline, and that will make it dangerous for

people in this warm weather wanting to head to the beach. we've been watching out for the dangerous wave conditions as we approach near record high temperatures, reaching into the low 70s for today, and by sunday, as we get ready to transition to some cooler weather, we'll see some big winds picking up. let's get a look at today's high and morgan hill reaching 71 degrees, los gatos looking at a high of 70. for the east bay we'll see some upper 60s and up to 65 in oakland today, pleasanton looking at a high of 69, and some short sleeved weather along the coast in half moon bay. palo alto reaching 66 and for san francisco downtown 63 degrees, and sonoma today will see a high of 68 degrees. now, as we look at what's going on, on the bigger scale, there is this big storm system off the coast, bringing another atmospheric river to the pacific northwest. we're missing out on that because high pressure is blocking it, but what it will do is give us a northeasterly wind

and that's going to actually increase our fire danger like we're seeing in southern california, because of those winds picking up between sunday night and monday, those high wind gusts may create some very dangerous fire conditions and yes, this is another sign of climate change, where we have fire danger all year round. here we are in january, we're going to see this dry wind coming through. as it descends around the hills into the valleys, it's going to heat up and so we're looking at these temperatures that will reach into the 70s, along with some high winds into the holiday, as well as early next week. so we'll have more updates on that, vianey you'll be watching that over the weekend. what are you watching right now? >> definitely. i did look into that crash popped up in what looked like the oakland area. good news, it looks like it was a fender bender and cleared out. we're not seeing major delays through the east bay, south bay or peninsula and the north bay. let's look at some south bay drive times, northbound 101 from

highway 85, 18 minutes. northbound 280 from highway 101 to highway 85 about seven minutes and northbound 85 from highway 101 in san jose, you're only looking at 19 minutes. no major accidents to report right now, we'll hope it stays that way. scott, i'll send it over to you. 4:50 on your friday morning. san francisco police chief bill scott is pretty certain no sfpd officers took part in the chaos but san francisco police commissioners want to know for sure. "the examiner" says two commissioners are calling for an internal investigation. it's apparent at least some off-duty law enforcement members from around the country were part of that angry mob in washington, and some cities are now doing their own investigations. a sacramento republican leader is resigning as fallout of the capitol siege. jorge riley was president of the sacramento republican assembly and resigned from both

positions. photos and posts on his facebook page showing the group storming the capitol building. riley has not been arrested for charged so far. authorities in southern california talking about the latest edd fraud involving prison inmates. nine inmates have been charged. they received at least $160,000 from bogus claims over three months during the summer. the group apparently did not use stolen identities, but instead took advantage of a halfway house program they were a part of, which was illegal, because they were still technically incarcerated. it's also a drop in the bucket compared to what some believe may have been a $4 billion doled out to people that were filing false claims. attorneys for people in jails and prisons in california are pushing for some prisoners to get the vaccine early. they're asking the governor and a judge to move 10% of prisoners to the front of the line. their request comes following a series of deadly outbreaks at several jails across the state. some cases skyrocketing in

recent weeks. they're advocating on behalf of prisoners who have not yet become infected and say the action would help ease the burden on hospitals. governor newsom said inmate inoculations could begin as early as next week. some counties are inundated by vaccine demand. they can't find enough supply. other counties aparentally not so much. "the bee" reports el dorado county is now doling out at least partly on a first come, first serve basis, that's rather than to have it all go to waste. earlier this week the county set up a web portal anyone regardless of tier level to sign up. the lists had to be frozen two days after word got out because it was so popular. the county is not saying how many people actually received surplus vaccines. bay area sports fans certainly have seen better days than yesterday, but we do point out the sharks won their opener but there's also the sting of

some tough losses. up next the niners loss sure to leave a hole on the sidelines. happening now, rising tensions between north korea and the rest of the world. the communist regime revealing a new type of submarine launched ballistic missile yesterday. it calls it the "world's most powerful weapon." several missiles were displayed after kim jong-un called the u.s. the country's biggest enemy. we'll be right back.
