guidance from the white house. plus -- >> it's worth it. it's good for your sanity. >> she's talking about testing and covid in the classrooms. the steps bay area schools are making to make sure they avoid a possible covid outbreak, and the testing kit delivery delays across the state. we are tracking light showers this morning. meteorologist, kari hall, tracking how long this wet weather will last. this is "today in the bay." a very good tuesday morning to you. thank you for joining us. i am laura garcia. >> i am kris sanchez. marcus washington has the day off. we want to start this hour with a look at the forecast because it's pretty variable around the bay. meteorologist, kari hall, with us. good morning. >> good morning. there are spots dealing with so much rain and other areas are like, what rain? that's what we are seeing in the tri-valley and the south bay,

while we are still getting light showers in parts of the north bay from napa and solano counties and down to san francisco and parts of contra costa county this morning waking up to showers. as we get a closer look at concord right now, between concord, richmond and oakland, we are seeing light showers moving through, and showers continuing in san francisco and up and down peninsula where we are seeing light rain moving through, and we will also continue to see some of the rain moving through throughout the morning as well as a chance for this afternoon. we're not done with this wet weather yet. we are going to see more as we go throughout the week. the good news is it's beneficial rain and not causing any problems. we will continue to monitor that and another look at the forecast, coming up in a few minutes. today president biden meets with his response team as the omicron variant wreaks havoc across the country.

>> we have live team coverage. first, today in the bay's alice barr is in washington with the push to rollout more booster shots. >> yeah, president biden expected to speak today about boosters, and he will get an update about the federal workers that have been sent on it to hospitals to help shore them up with low staffing and building out capacity at hospitals as they are seeing a wave of covid cases increase across the country. just yesterday the u.s. hit 56 million covid cases after having surpassed 55 million, just a day before. that shows you how quickly the infection numbers are spreading and that's forcing up the number of hospitalizations. with mounting evidence that omicron infections are less severe than delta infections,

medical experts are hoping for a silver lining. >> there are future variants that will impact us less because we have so much immunity in our population. >> we're also seeing record numbers of children hospitalized with covid, and it's unclear if severe cases among kids are on the rise or if that's just a product of the shear number of infections out there. at least some of the cases are among children who are being treated for other conditions, but then also end up testing positive for the virus. more protection could be on the way for kids by the end of this week, the cdc is expected to sign off on the fda's authorization of pfizer booster shots for kids age 12 to 15 five months after their second dose. the fda also authorizing third doses for certain kids between the ages of five and 11 with

compromised immune systems. the cdc expected to sign off on that tomorrow. that agency may also update its guidance for that shortened isolation period for those that test positive, going from ten days down to five. there has been pushback about that and we could get more clarification about whether you should test again at the end of the five-day recommended period. >> parents looking forward to the booster guideline, and we know once the cdc has done it then the fda and then it will still be a day or so before folks can sign up for those appointments. thank you so much, alice. and then we continue our team coverage this morning, and here's some of the new guidelines they are working out

there. good morning, sharon. >> reporter: yes, marin schools will shorten the quarantine timeline to match cdc guidelines. it will drop the number of quarantine days from 10 to 5 days for anybody that tests positive for covid or exposed to somebody who test positive, and after five days the person in quarantine will take another test and if that's possible the person will have to quarantine for five more days. meantime bay area school districts are trying to make it easier for students to get tested, but keep in mind it's not mandatory. employees were handing out at-home tests and also free pcr testing on site. and the orinda school district invited families to pick up tests at sites, and it was a similar scene at walnut creek unified school district. >> we pulled up and they said

how many do you need, and we have four kids and so they gave us four. it was really easy. >> reporter: some districts sent students home with test kits before the holiday break, and it will be a few days before we know how many positive tests they are seeing, and some school districts across the state say they have not received at-home test kits from the state and they are back in school already. >> thank you so much, sharon. new this morning the west contra costa school district opened three new covid testing sites for students returning today, and that will include testing for staff as well. the clinics offer weekly testing for families that need it. schools there recently handed out some 15,000 testing kits donated by the county, but there's a surplus and all leftover kits are being handed out at the school sites. a man and woman were shot

about 6:00 last night on north 1st and rosemary. paramedics rushed both victims to the hospital and they are expected to be okay. it's unclear what led up to the shooting and so far no suspects have been arrested in that case. police arrested three people accused in a series of armed robberies. the man robbed a person at gunpoint and five minutes later he robbed another person and the cell phone led police to a home where they arrested three men and are looking for a fourth. this here on the screen is georgetown east of auburn. the power went out on sunday and pg&e crews have been working to restore it, and many are relying on propane tanks, but there's a

problem because people are running out. >> if i ran that all day yesterday, i would not have any propane today. >> a pg&e spokesperson said downed trees and unplowed roads are slowing down efforts to get into the impacted areas in order to make repairs. taking a live look in san josé this morning. we are tracking some light rain although it's dry in this shot right here. kari has her eye on the radar this morning. are we all going to see some of the wet weather today, or just parts of the bay area? >> just parts of the bay area, and probably not at all in san josé, except for a couple sprinkles in the tri-valley also staying dry, and as we head north of there we have seen rain continue for parts of the east bay. even in the north bay we have had some spots close to four inches of rain in mount tam, and that's in the past 24 hours. we are seeing light showers in walnut creek, so as you are heading out this morning and commuting to work, our

temperatures are in the low 50s, so it feels milder and we are heading to the upper 50s by late morning. most spots around the bay area will stay in the 50s this afternoon with the chance of showers in some spots, and once again not all of us will see that rain. just keep the umbrella close by and be prepared, and mike we want to get people prepared for the commute this morning. that's right, kari. traffic and weather go hand and hand as we look at the map. we have green sensors, and yesterday was very light, no metering lights all day today, and today you could see a little restoration there as schools go back online. walnut creek, that's where there's a new crash, north 680 and it's on the shoulder but that new crash is what kari was talking about with the rain as well. there's the radar, and the rain hits and there's a potential for

slicker roads and lower visibility. we had a crash there. watch the bridges in the north. >> thanks, mike. 5g network put on hold. still ahead, the new cell service and the impact it will have on you. so much help wanted yet nobody wants to seem to fill those jobs. the san francisco fire department stretched thin as it deals with a growing covid outbreak. on nbcbayarea.com you can find out how the department plans to keep the city safe despite being down a number of first responders. we'll be right back.

el cerrito. that's my job. good morning, scott. we're going to get new data today about jobless claims. now, not jobless claims, i misspoke, about help wanted, about what are we going to get, we are going to get job openings, and that's different than the weekly jobless claims that i was mistaking that shows how many jobs go unfilled. we think help wanted will be about 12 million, 12 million jobs that bosses are offering and nobody is taking them up on. starbucks will follow the nationwide mandate for mandated vaccinations. the change today, starbucks will prove their workers to prove they are vaccinated no later than monday. wall street will open at new all-time highs. we talked yesterday about the

records the stock market set in 2021 and 2022 is off to a strong start. notice i added apple at the bottom. the cap briefly touched 3 trillion, and that's amazing. most blackberries -- you remember those? they won't work as of today. the canadian phone company once a huge success, one of the first phones that gave people access to their e-mail with a keyboard that they could quickly reply on, and the company stopped supporting the phone as early as today, and blackberries cannot do much, and basically if your phone works this morning, you have a that model that will still work, but you need a new

phone. come on. the iphone keyboard, kind of a miracle, often times figuring out what you meant to say even if you didn't hit all the right keys. and i interviewed one of the engineers that came up with the keyboard, and we covered the topics of how it works and if you try to type a certain dirty word, and he used to work with steve jobs. >> yeah, the adrenaline starts to flow and you are nervous, and i had the experience before of how intimidating steve could be when i showed him something and he didn't like it. >> you will find that podcast on apple podcast and even alexa will play that for you. i will put that on twitter and facebook, too, so you don't have to search too far down into the library. it's fascinating.

such an interesting story behind of all things, the iphone keyboard. >> of all things to be famous for, right -- >> i didn't know that naughty word thing. >> you must not type enough naughty words, laura. >> i didn't -- >> i just waterfall just to make sure i didn't use the wrong word. >> yeah, me too. >> i don't know. i am totally lost on that one. 5:17 right now. new developments, verizon and at&t have agreed to delay the start of 5g, and there were concerns the signals could interfere with critical instruments in a plane's cockpit. since the omicron variant of covid-19 surfaced many on social

media jokingly referred to it as a maron -- >> hi, everybody. i am an artist, not a variant. please be aware, if you just so happened to run into me on the street, you don't have to isolate for five days. >> he followed up that tiktok video with one saying you don't need a negative test to dance to -- that's rough when your name is the name of something infamous, katrina or sandy or karen. >> for a while there were hurricanes, and i think there were hurricanes laura and marcus, and my kids thought that was hilarious. >> that is pretty funny. no stormy weather needed for today, right, kari? >> yeah, that was back in 2020,

and laura and marcus were rotating around each other out in the gulf. that was pretty crazy. luckily nothing like that going on right now. it was definitely funny. we are seeing a very soggy commute this morning. this is what some people are dealing with as we get a closer look on storm ranger right now. taking a break in the north bay, but that has been the target of wet weather we have seen recently and now it's moving over to contra costa county. it's raining right now in vallejo, and in san francisco we have light showers and to the south of the city, and up and down the peninsula we have seen rain moving into the santa cruz mountains right now. this is a wider look as we continue to see the wet weather moving through, and today we will keep a chance of showers even though the storm system is moving through, it's not a strong one and it's bringing in

beneficial rain for parts of the bay area. most spots getting half an inch of rain or less. our temperatures headed for 60 degrees in san josé, and 58 in dublin today and 58 in oakland and 57 in san francisco. when we compare what they are feeling elsewhere across the country, it has been bitterly cold. if you have people traveling, this is what is causing a lot of the delays. we are freezing right now in atlanta, and you can see how much of the country is below freezing right now, and compare that to the bay area and we have the warmest temperature on the map at 51 degrees. that's pretty amazing. we will continue to see some scattered showers in our forecast for today, but it's not going to be a widespread heavy rain, just a mostly cloudy sky and additional rainfall for the next couple of days, and much less from san francisco on south, about a quarter inch of rain or less. we have seen the big improvement in the drought monitor. this was so great that when it came out last week that we are

now out of the exceptional drought, the very high drought category that we have seen throughout much of the fall and into the start of the winter. it looks like as far as the outlook for the drought monitor, we are going to see still the drought persisting, but there could be big improvements, especially for northern california. this as our weather stays pretty active with scattered showers up until the weekend where we will see drier weather moving in. mike, you were tracking a bart delay going on, right? >> that's right, kari. developing for the richmond line, and this is so folks can read it out, and there's a track side fire near the el cerrito station, just past that station traveling westbound. bart is still running, and they will sometimes stop the train if there's smoke in the area. my dog is worried about that. be careful there and around the rest of the bay. back to you. >> he's just doing his job this

morning, protecting the family. >> exactly. thanks, mike. we are counting down the days until the winter olympics. ahead on "today in the bay," we are go into introduce to you an ice skater hoping to make it big in beijing. you're watching "today in the bay."

the team, and i said, karen, it will be looking so stupid if you write a book and don't make the team, that's embarrassing. i remember thinking that and telling myself that, and then i thought this is an incredible opportunity no matter what happens, and i should go for it. >> her presence and attention to detail. who wrote the forward for this book? >> kristie yamaguchi. i knew that she would be willing to write it for me, i knew as long as i asked she would do anything to help me. >> what a relationship. so the olympic games begin february 3rd on nbc. be sure and download the latest podcast from nbc lx. you can listen wherever you get your podcast.

activated and scanning up at san bruno mountain. let's get over to meteorologist, kari hall, who is tracking wet parts of the bay area this morning. >> yeah, we are seeing green of a different sort here, and it's been very good to see as we continue to see some of the scattered showers passing through the bay area. we are tracking it with storm ranger, and that's the red scan you are seeing there. we have seen some of the showers off and on there, but enough to make the roads wet, as we have seen 0.3 of an inch of rain in the east bay. the peninsula getting a little seeing some of the lighter door. overall we will continue to see the wet weather off and on with a lot of people heading back to work and school today. be prepared with the umbrella as we head into the mid-50s, and also have a light jacket. there's more rain in the forecast, and i'll talk about that coming up in a few minutes.

>> thanks, kari. you can track your current temperatures and forecast and radar right from your phone. just download our nbc bay area app, and you can customize it for your exact neighborhood. today in the bay's bob redell joins us from a testing site in san mateo. this demand has led to a delay in testing results, too. >> reporter: correct, and good morning to you, kris. a uc berkeley infectious disease expert tells us this delay in getting results is a problem, because it takes so l this is video from foster city of a line of people waiting in the rain to be tested.

in pleasant hill, another long line of cars at a drive-through test site. rapid tests may be your best bet, which, unfortunately, infectious disease experts say you might be good right before you go out, and it could miss a positive result because you don't have enough virus to be infectious. we are not at the levels we saw at previous covid spikes last summer and winter, but nationwide the number of children hospitalized with covid-19 is soaring. according to an nbc news analysis, at least nine states on the east coast and the midwest have reported record numbers of pediatric covid hospitalizations, and many have been hospitalized specifically because of complication from covid-19. >> children are just not

supposed to die of medical conditions and covid, in a very short period of time, has become one of the leading medical causes of death for children in this country. i think it's about time that we stopped downplaying the significance of covid for children and accepted the fact that this is the virus that is not benign for all children. >> yesterday the fda cleared the pfizer covid-19 booster for children ages 12 to 15, and shortened the timing of pfizer booster shots. >> a hot topic in parent circles right now. thank you, bob. today is the deadline for all federal workers, including tsa agents to provide proof of vaccination. this comes as there's a hangover

for holiday travelers just trying to make it home. nearly 1,000 flights have already been canceled today, and that includes some in san francisco and san josé. airports are still trying to catch up. happening today, san francisco's supervisors will take another look at mayor london breed's recent emergency declaration for the tenderloin. supervisors approved her declaration last month right before christmas, and it calls for more police patrols to find the tenderloin's growing drug problem, and not all supervisors were present for the vote, and that meeting is happening at 2:00 this afternoon. sentencing for theranos founder, elizabeth holmes, is expected to happen sometimes in the next two months, this after jurors convicted her in the

silicon valley high profile trial. she was found guilty on four counts. they found her not guilty on four charges, against fraud against patients. they were deadlocked in the other three charges. upon hearing the verdict, holmes left the courthouse with her mother and partner. she said nothing to the reporters waiting outside. >> the guilty verdicts in this case reflect ms. holmes culpability in this large scale investor fraud, and she must face sentencing for her crime. >> holmes faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, and some experts say her actual prison time may be being far less than

that. you can go to nbcbayarea.com to have a complete breakdown of the jury's verdict on each of the 11 charges. pg&e and customers are without power after a car hit a power pole at around 6:30 last night, so they have been without power for a while. 36 customers is what we are talking about, and it will not be restored until 9:00 this morning. one of the students that survived the collapse has died. the tragedy happened back in june of 2015. she was celebrating her 21st birthday at the former library garden's apartment complex when the balcony they were on collapsed. the accident was linked to dry

rot in the beams holding up the company, and the contractor lost its license. six people died. she was one of seven survivors. and then a long and dangerous night for drivers along i-95 in fredericksburg. look at that backup. they were delayed for hours, and teams have tried to rescue the drivers that were stuck there for 15 hours, and they are running out of gas and that means they will not have heat. kari is tracking rain in some parts. >> yeah, we have seen some pretty decent rainfall totals especially for the north bay as well as the santa cruz mountains. look at mount tam now with over four inches of rain. and for scott creek in the santa cruz mountains, we have gotten

two inches of rain there. napa, three quarters of an inch, and in san francisco, it has been nice to see this falling down while other spots are barely seeing anything. as we track stormranger we continue to see light showers over the east, the peninsula and san francisco. go into today we will still have a chance of the showers moving through, but we will see a lot less activity go into this evening, i think by 5:00, 6:00, we are not seeing a whole lot of rain here before it comes back early tomorrow morning. we are still looking at some wet weather. how is that affecting the roads and the bart delays right now, mike? >> kari, we have wet roads so i'm telling people to slow it down where you encounter the slick conditions, and that's one factor, and bart has a track side fire. the roadway shows green sensors, and more cars hitting the road and a little slowing at the

altamont pass and no backup at the bay bridge toll plaza, and now we are hearing there are no trains servicing richmond to el cerrito del norte. they are turning back at berkeley because of the track side fire, and once they address that they can get the trains running once again. the area that is affected on bart is the area with the arrows, the freeway is fine. back to you. >> thank you. dub nation, get ready. we will show you when the slash brothers might finally reunite. saving students cash. the california college planning on forgiving past and present student loans. in washington, democrats wanting republicans to get a vote to the floor, and they set a deadline. and then a crash through a bus stop in san josé. you can watch that episode now

good tuesday morning. right now at 5:43, as you are heading out in the east bay, keep the umbrella close by. fremont seeing some of the light

showers, and we will still see rain and we'll talk about that in the forecast in a few minutes. we're still seeing this big delay. in fact, no service reported by bart. let me show you that grid i have behind me just to outline, no service between richmond and el cerrito del norte because of a track fire. we are checking on other issues, and no structures reportedly involved from what i can tell. line 72m this morning. we have more coming up on your wet commute. one group filed suit in november calling the order a violation of their first amendment rights and they feared they would face discipline. more than 99% of active duty navy service members are fully

vaccinated against covid. action in the senate as democrats push to protect and expand voting rights. scott mcgrew to do that, democrats have to change the rules and dump the filibuster. >> yeah, at least for this specific case. democrats can win any vote in the senate if everybody in their party is onboard, and democrats can pass new voter rights bills. what they can't do is get the votes to the floor. you need 60 yes votes to get a bill to the floor. that's the filibuster. chuck schumer has said give us the 60 yes votes so we can vote on a bill. if you don't we will change the rules and take the bill to the floor anyway. he doesn't use the word filibuster specifically, but everybody gets the hint. he writes, the senate phugs

must adapt. freedom to vote would expand vote by mail, early voting and john lewis would put back many of the voting rights act rules that dropped out of effect. president biden met with ranchers and farmers to talk about the high cost of food, particularly meat. just a few companies control a great deal of the meat packing business. >> these companies can use their position as middlemen to over charge grocery stores, and i was telling the -- my colleagues earlier in my office that i was sitting in my kitchen yesterday and my wife was there with her sister and a good friend, marianne, and she said do you

realize it's over $5 for a pound of hamburger meat. $5. a pound of beef today cost 5 bucks compared to 4 bucks before the pandemic. >> farmers sell the cows and there's something in between that beyond being a middleman. >> garland who has been criticized for not taking much action on the attack on american democracy says he will make a speech tomorrow one day before the first anniversary from the attack on the capitol. we will be watching that and trying to get early words as to what exactly it will be. talk about it on social media, and you will find me there at

scott mcgrew. new students that attended san joaquin delta college in stockton. the school will eliminate more than $3.6 million in student debt for current and former students. the board of trustees are using funds from the federal covid relief back in december. no word on when the debt will be cleared from students' accounts, but no action is required by them. >> what a relief. and the best team in the league could be getting ready to make a splash. klay thompson could be playing again. he's already shooting around with the team returning from an acl injury. on the court the warriors came up big against miami. the warriors beat the heat

115-108. trending this morning, the jackson docu men tree is out. >> she's an empowered woman. >> she's a legend. >> she's a blueprint. >> she's a warrior. >> she literally has done it all. she's a lot of image that is out today. >> janet is very private. >> for her to want to open up, i am flabbergasted. >> the documentary is expected to explore her musical career, and the child abuse charges against her brother. night one of the two-part documentary is out on january 28th on lifetime.

>> my cousin knew all of the dances. >> marcus washington, if he was here he would be doing those. probably one of her biggest fans. >> i think so. there were no winners in last night's powerball drawing. >> just in case, here are last night's numbers. the jackpot price is set for $575 million. the cash value is a little over 409 million. try your next luck, and that's tomorrow. now you can use the app and you know you are a loser right away. >> yeah, try again. sorry. >> the numbers are looking good today, kari, and not quite as cold as it has been. >> not quite as cold, and we have rain moving in so it has been really great to see that, especially since it has put a big dent in our drought. as we look at the golden gate

bridge right now, we are seeing the scattered showers making the morning commute wet for you. as you are heading out this morning, expect the rain to continue in some of those areas, and looking at stormranger we are seeing scattered showers that will continue for areas like the peninsula and east bay. as we get a closer look we see some of the showers moving through and missing out on the tri-valley as well as the south bay, and we are getting the typical rain shadow where we get a lot less, and that will continue as our temperatures today head for 59 degrees in fremont, and 60 in san josé. mostly upper 50s for sonoma, today, and 57 in san francisco. scattered showers today and then even going ahead, we are only looking at light rainfall so the storms moving in are not very strong but could be close to half an inch of additional rainfall in parts of the north bay and a quarter inch of rain or less from san francisco to the east bay on to the south. we were talking about the drought and the fact that we have seen big improvement here

with all of the rain here we had recently, and not just here but across the region, not seeing as much of the dark red, and still some dark red around nevada right now, but in the bay area and much of the central valley, we are still in the extreme drought category, but it's mainly severe for the rest of the bay area. as we look at the outlook for the next month, it does show that for northern california there's a possibility that they may take it out of a drought, especially up around eureka. before the bay area, it looks like the drought could persist and we could see improvements if this storm pattern continues, and hopefully that will be the case. we are looking at rain off and on in the next few days, and our temperatures reaching 60 degrees by the middle of the week, and still a chance of showers off and on by friday, but it's clearing out in the mid to upper 50s for the inland areas.

mike, do you have info for that fire along the bart line? >> i do. i was going to say there was a structure involved and we are checking on details on that, and the latest update from bart, and now there's a report that they are recovering and they have been given the green light to start the trains from richmond and el cerrito de norte. that will affect the cascade. recovery in place after that track side fire. a/c transit should be expecting to cancel that. the metering lights just turned out, so the traffic is viewed a little heavier, but so far no major slowing. a little blip for san josé once again. back to you. getting ready to reopen a covid booster shot clinic, but this time for anybody over the age of 12, and this is after the fda granted pfizer emergency use
