good wednesday morning. thank you so much for starting your morning with marcus washin. >> i am kris sanchez in for laura garcia today. a live look out there in san jose for you, on the first day of fall we could wake up to haze but air quality expected to get better today. we's bring in meteorologist, kari hall. >> we're starting out with moderate air quality. because of the haze they are going to have a beautiful sunrise. the air quality is going to improve. today the particulate matter is coming down to 50. for the most part it's going to be much better. as you are stepping out the door in santa rosa, 52 degrees right now. we will see the temperatures warming up, not as warm yesterday. some of the highs reaching into the mid-80s for warm spots in the valleys, and 60s and 70s

near the coast. we will talk about all the changes in the forecast in terms of our air quality and the first day of fall in the forecast, that's coming up in just a few minutes. >> thank you, kari. starting today you will need proof of vaccination to enter many businesses in contra costa county. today in the bay's bob riddell is live in san ramon with which businesses will require you to show proof. >> reporter: starting today if you want to go to the gym like the one behind me here in san ramon, you will have to show proof of vaccination to get inside. it's a new rule implemented by the county starting today. it applies for indoor businesses like gyms, or dance studios, yoga places and those sorts of places, places where you will breathe more heavily during the exercise, and it includes places like restaurant, bars, and other entertainment venues. starting november 1st, workers

in these businesses must show proof of vaccination or test negative each week for covid. the health department points out among the 35 people that died during the last week of august and first week of september, almost 96% of those people were unvaccinated. there are other cities in the bay area that have this proof of vaccination requirement. berkeley, you need to have a proof of vaxx for many indoor businesses, and workers must be vaxxed or tested weekly. san jose has a proof of vaxx for people in any city-owned business. we have more details for you. berkeley workers now know when they will have to receive covid

vaccinations or pace potentially losing their job. the city enacted a november 15th deadline. workers can claim medical or religious exemptions and will have to report their vaccination status by october 15th. this week was supposed to be the first week for covid booster shots. instead, the fda has yet to authorize thoughts for any vaccine except for those whose immune systems are compromised. boosters will increase the antibodies. the cdc could add clarity this week on who would be able to get one. >> they add guidance to physicians and patients, and so for example, they might say -- they might enumerate the kinds of severe conditions that would qualify somebody for a booster. >> regardless of booster shots, health experts assure everybody

vaccines still provide strong poe techtion. covid-19 is front and center for national and international leaders today. today in the bay's chris pallone is live. what is expected to happen today with the fda? >> reporter: marcus, the highly anticipated decision on booster shots whether to approve them or not for people over 65 is expected from the fda later on today. you might remember that panel meeting on friday where health leaders looked at the evidence, and the panel of outside experts did recommend boosters for americans 65 and older and those considered high risk, and pfizer did not provide information of the safety for a third vaccine for those 16 and older. meanwhile president biden is expected to host a virtual covid summit for u.n. leaders. his plan is to send more

vaccines around the world. he is calling for cooperation to beat the virus. the president is calling for a goal to vaccinate 70% of the world's people by september, and there has been criticism in some circles of richer nations for somewhat hoarding vaccines. for example, here in the u.s. we have 55% of people vaccinated, and in places like haiti or tanzania, that number is less than 1%. back to you. >> thank you. president biden is facing trouble in iowa according to polling from the des moines register. one-third of iowans approve of president biden is doing. his handling of afghanistan received only 22% support.

the vote now faces a battle in the senate. no republicans voted to support the bill funding for refugees, and a $28 billion disaster aid package that would help in part california wildfire victims. the fbi confirmed the remains found in wyoming were those of gabby petito. the search for her fiancé still ongoing in florida. >> reporter: the manner of death in this case provides new direction for investigators, the cause of death has not been yet released and it could be several days before we have a final autopsy report. in the meantime the search for brian laundrie is intensifying. the fbi is asking for the

public's help now to help find him. investigators here on the ground in florida searched most of the day yesterday in the swampy terrain trying to look for any clues or evidence of brian laundrie. his parents said that's where he last said he was going on tuesday of last week and they have not seen him since. former fbi agents say this could be an attempt to throw them off. >> from day one brian laundrie has been doing nothing but cover his tracks and actions. >> when the autopsy confirmed petito's body yesterday, laundrie's parents put out a statement saying may gabby rest in peace. >> there will be more on the "today" show, and that's right

after "today in the bay." a 5.9 quake in australia yesterday. so far there are no reports of injuries. firefighters are not saying whether they know what sparked the fire that sent hundreds of people from their homes in petaluma yesterday. the fire quickly spread to nearby terrain. one woman stood by and used her garden hose to try and slow the progress while firefighters arrived. she was eventually joined by firefighters from six different agencies. 900 homes nearby were evacuated and one woman was shaken bite aircraft dropping flame retardant. >> they kept flying back and forth and circling, and being that it's a hop, skip and jump

from our house, it was scary. >> the fire did burn 15 acres and destroyed several out buildings but did not spread beyond that, fortunately. >> yeah, it seems like we are going to get a little relief today in the air quality. the bay bridge, it could be a sign of a cooler day today. meteorologist, kari hall, she has our forecast. >> let's go higher up. isn't it a nice view? we have seen this fill in here in the last couple of hours, and we are getting fog along the coast and it's freshening the air a little bit. we have green dots where it's good air quality, and we are going to see the air quality continue to improve but it will be hazy. an air quality advisory in effect with a touch cooler with the temperatures today. we'll talk about a slight

coast in parts of the peninsula and north bay. we will still see the hazy sky for the north and east bay. we do still have about six more hours left of summer and the earth's axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees. any other time of the year the sun is tilted away from or toward the sun. so with this being, of course, we already started to notice this, shorter days and longer nights, that's what we are transitioning to as we see the sun tilting away from us. as we go through the forecast today, low 80s in milpitas today. 90 degrees in morgan hill. for the east bay we are reaching in the upper 80s and low 90s. our temperatures coming down a

nation's oldest park ranger is turning 101, and she's getting a school named after her, and her name is betty reid soskin. we have talked with her before and we know her 100th birthday celebration is today, and the school name will officially change to betty reid soskin. we look at where things stand in the push for covid booster shots. >> reporter: three district here in the bay area are expected to make the vaccine mandatory in some districts. i'll break down what students and parents need to know. a bay area crossing guard was hit and killed on the job. why he will forever be

eviction moratoriums are about to come to an end. "today in th" good wednesday morning to you. i am kris sanchez. i am here for laura garcia. >> i am marcus washington. we are going to talk about air quality that is expected to improve today after smoke from the south made it up here to the bay area. take a look at this picture on your screen here. it's looking absolutely gorgeous in san francisco this morning. let's bring in meteorologist, kari hall. how are conditioned looking? >> you can see the difference there. yesterday at this time there was no fog whatsoever. we will be slightly cooler today and less smoke. still unhealthy if you are sensitive to it, we still have a air quality watch. a little less and our temperatures headed towards the upper 70s for hayward. upper 80s for concord.

86 today in santa rosa. we will talk more about the brief cooldown and what is ahead in our forecast go into the first week of fall. that's coming up in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. a new vaccination requirement may move forward for three east bay school districts. >> cierra johnson is live looking into today's scheduled vote and what it would mean for bay area families. >> reporter: good board members in three bay area districts have big decisions to make as they are set to make that vote on whether or not to make the covid vaccine mandatory for some of the older students. we have a breakdown of the districts and where things stand right now with that mandate. so those three districts, berkeley unified, piedmont as well as oakland unified school districts have votes taking place today and if passed that mandate would apply to students 12 and older. so far berkeley has a tentative

date of january 3rd 2022 for students to complete the investigations, and that mandate does allow for medical and religious exemptions, and piedmont has not set a date of when vaccinations must be completed if that measure is alive -- approved, excuse me. not all the families are in favor of getting their child a covid shot, but one family member we spoke with said this is the only way to beat the virus. >> it spares the risks and it's the best over all option where it's a win-win. >> reporter: so far contra costa district has not set a date when they would vote on the measure.

on september 9th, that's when l.a. unified approved vaccines mandatory for students 12 and older. right now there are no exemptions, and they are the largest district in the country to approve such a measure. >> thank you. happening today, the fda expected to make its highly anticipated decision on pfizer booster shots and even when the decision comes down those that received the moderna or johnson & johnson will still have to wait. >> so it has been kind of quiet at vaccination centers like this in new york city and others around the country, and foot traffic trailed off in the resent months but that could

change with the two key points in the pfizer booster vaccine, and the question about boosters for the pfizer vaccine. cdc panel is meeting this morning and soon afterwards the fda could make its decision. what we have been hearing is some people are going out anyway before it's authorize eyesed to get the booster. >> this is not the situation where we want to be where people are eligible or not eligible based on which vaccine they got. this is the problem the fda is trying to manage. it would be helpful for the fda and cdc to come out with broader guidance across a range of vaccines and not limit themselves to pfizer alone. >> it's important to know that regardless of what the fda advised on the pfizer booster, it's just for the pfizer booster, and those that got johnson & johnson or moderna, they will have to wait. back to you. >> thank you.

a possible hit for east bay renters trying to make it in the bay. contra costa county will not extend the eviction moratorium for tenants that have fallen behind on their rent because of covid. bob redell is live. how long do they have to pay the back rent before they could face evictions. >> reporter: the state's moratorium on evictions ends a week from tomorrow and in theory they could be evicted anytime after that. and the board of supervisors have voted 3-2 against the extension. one supervisor that voted for the extension argued the pandemic is disproportionately hurting the minorities and the

poor. another member said the economy has not fully recovered and those businesses she have spoke with they are trying to find people to hire and people need to get back to work. tenants struggling to pay rent in san francisco, they will lose their protection next week as well in spite of what the sfo board of supervisors tried to do, to extend the moratorium to the end of the year, but only if the state extends their moratorium, and that's unlikely to happen, and the paper reports that the supervisor behind the moratorium could not find a, quote, legally viable path around the state. landlords have opposed an

extension of the moratorium because of the financial strain it puts on them. >> tough on both ends of that. thank you so much, bob. happening today, scott peterson will appear remotely for a hearing tied to the bid for a new trial. today the judge may set a date for a evidentiary hearing. allegations have surfaced surrounding one juror misleading attorneys about domestic violence in her own background. she says it did not influence her in the trial. and then elizabeth holmes' trial to continue today. yesterday the first patient took the stand, a woman and her nurse practitioner said a theranos

july numbers are nowhere near that. the numbers by region, the bay area water usage dropped more than 8%, but in l.a., orange and san diego counties, it was a combined .1%. let's take a look at the forecast for you today. >> that's nice. >> yes, look at this on hump day, the sun is rising and we'll move you forward with the forecast today. meteorologist, kari hall, has a look at the forecast for us. >> as we take a look at our real time air quality sensors, we see green and that's good air quality, and it looks good in oakland, but then inland slightly moderate to unhealthy air quality for certificate groups. heads up about that.
