good morning. it's january, sunday 16th. i am kira klapper. meteorologist, vianey arana, has a look at your microclimate forecast. >> the weather is calmer and the tsunami advisory has been canceled for the entire coastline for us here in the bay area. there's peace of mind with that, but there could be choppy water. 45 degrees right now in walnut

creek. this is a live look right now. we also had a little bit of shower activity mainly south of the golden gate bridge. temperatures will remain mild for the start of our day. i want to show you a temperature trend, because if you look at the icons, it's not going to be completely sunny but it will be a mix of sun and clouds starting out cloudy with peeks of sunshine throughout the afternoon. daytime highs in the low to mid-60s for the interior valleys. i will take you through your 7-day forecast coming up in a few minutes. kira? >> thank you so much. you can see in the video here powerful waves crashing onshore on the bay area coast as a tsunami advisory was issued for the west coast. yesterday there was flooding along coastal communities. the advisory was triggered around this time yesterday morning because of a volcanic eruption in the sea near the

south pacific island of tonga. a tsunami warning was issued. flooding homes and businesses near the shorelines. communications are still out this morning leaving many unanswered questions and looming concerns about how the tongan people are doing. san mateo county has one of the largest populations from the island, about 60,000 people. and today in the bay's, thom jensen, reports. >> we were not able to reach any of the tongan consulate, but with tens of thousands of people in the community living in this area, with a blackout across all of the islands they are likely going to be very busy in the coming days. at the store here, they are

hearing only bits of news coming. her grandmother is safe in fiji but worries about the people of tonga. there's no communications at all right now. >> the internet connection is out. i read that there's also no way to radio in either. >> there are a few videos circulating showing water rushing through town and this church and the community can tell by the satellite descriptions that the devastation will likely be widespread. >> sad. >> a sad conversation yesterday for this man who was able to talk to family on the main island before the eruption and the tsunami hit. >> you have been in communication with anybody over here today? >> only yesterday before it hit. >> they already knew it was going to go? >> yeah. >> what were they saying?

>> they were scared. >> another fear facing community is what will happen when hundreds and possibly thousands of people come to tonga for recovery efforts, worries covid will grab a foothold in vulnerable and largely unvaccinated populations. >> it was one of the very few countries that didn't experience covid until recently, i believe. so i think it's -- there's a lot of conversation around it, and just trying to figure out what the best step for our people is. >> michelle thomas said the restaurant is eager to hear from any survivors to find out how they can help with donations. she said they will definitely be needing food, fresh water and clothes and probably monetary donations in the coming days as they start to rebuild. in burlingame, thom jensen, nbc bay area news. >> this is the north santa cruz

harbor. cars parked there, as you can see, became partially emerged. we have a look at how flooded that harbor became. wow. no word on how much it will cost to clean up the flooding and repair all the damage. the flooding we saw yesterday in santa cruz is not like what we saw in 2011. you may recall a 8.9 magnitude quake in japan triggered a series of tsunamis. the santa cruz harbor suffered $26 million in damage. although there were warnings to stay out of the water and away from the shoreline, some did not take heed. a surfer in san francisco had to be rescued yesterday afternoon. it happened at kelly's cove at the northern part of the beach. the fire department says the waves were so rough that the surfer's board broke, stranding

him about 300 feet from shore, and a team of boats and a helicopter that responded were able to get him to safety. soon after they rescued another surfer. and this one in san mateo county, two young men fishing were swept off the rocks by massive waves, one of them knocked unconscious. a deputy jumped into the raging waters and pulled out both fisherman and performed cpr on the unconscious man. the parents of one of the men tell us they are overwhelmed with gratitude. >> oh, my god, i am so scared. i came to my work and said i have to go, and i called my husband and we rushed looking for him. >> thankfully, she tells us her son is doing well. we are told the other young man who was unconscious is now in stable condition. >> a tsunami advisory is in

effect. stay out of the water, off the beach and away from the coast. >> that is video of firefighters patrolling ocean beach issuing a warning by loud speaker. they ended up closing the beach, working to make sure people got that message that they needed to stay away because the water was too dangerous. in the east bay, more than 100 people are back home after being told to evacuate because of the tsunami advisory. we broke this news on our newscast yesterday morning for those living near the berkeley marina. today in the bay's christie smith spoke to residents that say they are glad to be back home. >> reporter: the evacuation order was clear, get out of the boats and off the docks in berkeley. sarah greenwood was asleep. >> they drove by with patrol boats and walked up and down the docks with loud speakers, telling us to evacuate immediately. it was about 7:20 this morning.

>> another long-time berkeley resident was alerted by a friend. >> i got a call from a friend in san francisco and she said be careful because there's something coming, and immediately right after that then knock, knock, knock. >> we have three hours -- >> the red cross arrived quickly to help, and some people left and others waited in cars. >> we are worried about the residents of tonga, honestly. yeah, we're okay here. >> a red cross volunteer shared this video of water moving near the marina. an underwater volcano erupted near tonga. >> for berkeley, that means in the marina there will be waves roughly one to three feet high. >> berkeley police say 113 people were evacuated from the marina shoreline area, and access was restricted. >> better to play it safe and make sure there is no injuries. there hasn't been any injuries

reported thus far. >> police did not know immediately how long the advisory would be in place, but said the state was hoping for a sustained period where currents were not as strong. >> right now it's fairly calm, but we have had probably about three or four surges of strong currents, and it will come in for three or four minutes. >> jacqueline was asked to observe the current. >> i have seen a couple boats try to come into the harbor like three or four times, and they turn around and go back out because the currents are too strong. >> today people waited it out. >> it will be several more hours before we are allowed back down to the docks. >> at 7:09, we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." we take you live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with chuck todd who has a preview of this week's "meet the press."

welcome back. it's time for our weekly discussion with chuck todd, nbc political director and moderator of "meet the press." hi, chuck, thanks for joining us this morning. good to see you. >> good morning. >> president biden is coming up on the one-year mark of his presidency that has been marched by so many challenges and some of his key agenda items are stalled and he was pleading to change the filibuster agenda and i could go on and on. what needs to happen for the president to pivot and start his second year on better footing? >> well, kara, that was in some ways the theme of most of this program today, and you will hear from variety of ideas from folks, and jim clyburn and james carville saying there are tough moments but you have to keep going and do what you can and go

forward. mitt romney is pleading, reach out to more republicans, govern from the center out, and that's what you promised in your inaugural speech. you are hearing various ideas of what people think he should do. i think the bottom line -- the other shows, like don't get mired in congress. he should be summoning people through the white house. you know, be the president, don't be the senate leader. look, they are all nibbling around the edges here, and obviously the biggest problem the president faces is the covid fallout, and the inflation issue is hurting him. james carville said if it's 7%, it doesn't matter what the president does or says, it's not going to be good for the democrats in the mid-term. you have to focus on what you can focus on at this point, and i think that the biggest issue

is covid has been basically a wet blanket arguably over the entire agenda. >> i want to turn now to former president trump. he had his first rally of the year yesterday in arizona. for people who might not know, trump is endorsing nearly 100 candidates for the 2022 elections, many of whom question the validity of president biden's win. doesn't this mean his endorsement is a valuable stamp of approval and what does it say about the power he still holds? >> a lot of republicans think it matters and in a crowded primary i think it matters a lot. it all depends on how big is the real trump wing in the republican party? 30%? 70%? 80%. i think we are going to get a test of this. he's decided to make the 2020 election a litmus test, and he's blatantly doing it and looking to endorse anybody that will either sign on to his big lie or

perpetuate it, and we will find out if that plays well in some of the places. again, i think the crowded primaries, his candidates are likely going to win. it's going to be in the high profile-101 primaries i am curious about, and they would like a lot of republicans to move on, and they want to see how close to trump are the voters. we won't know until the primaries take place. >> something tells me we will be talking about this quite a few times between now and then. we appreciate you. we hope you join chuck for "meet the press," and he will have that conversation with utah senator, mitt romney, and plus strategist, james carville. tune in to "meet the press" right after this newscast. we will turn to the long hostage situation in texas. it's over now.

all of the hostages are safe and alive and the man who held them hostage is dead. the ordeal started when the gunman interrupted a service in a synagogue outside of fort worth and took a rabbi and others hostage. he wanted the release of a terrorists from prison, and it remains unclear if the suspect was killed in the confrontation with officers. the fbi says there's no evidence this is part of an ongoing threat, but police departments in several cities are beefing up presence near synagogues. san francisco police tweeted they are coordinating with jewish community organizations in efforts to keep them safe. new this morning, tennis star novak djokovic has left australia and will not be participating in the australian open. this comes as the australian court upheld the decision to cancel his visa. the government argued the

34-year-old posed a threat to public health because he's not vaccinated. in a statement djokovic said, quote, i am extremely disappointed with the court ruling to dismiss my application for the review to cancel my visa. i respect the court's ruling and i will cooperate with the relevant authorities in relation to my departure from the country. end quote. the australian open starts tomorrow. back here locally, the number of covid cases climbed as the fast-moving omicron variant continues to spread across the country. the u.s. surpassed 65 million overall cases. you can see the number of cases jumped by 2 million within just the past few days. the cdc says 98% of new cases are omicron. in hayward, kids, parents and teachers are shifting gears yet again preparing to return to

classrooms on tuesday. they voted to return to in-person education. now it's back to the classroom with covid protocols in place, including n95 masks for teachers and staff. if you want to know what the numbers are looking like in your child's school district, head to nbcbayarea.com/covid-19dashboard . you might remember this story. a woman started with a bobby pin and traded it up for a house. she documented her journey on tiktok. she was inspired by a canadian blogger that did it back in 2005 but with a red paper clip instead of a bobby opinion.

it took her 18 months and 28 trades to get that free house in tennessee. and abby fernandez spoke with her, and she's trading that house for what else? a bobby pin. listen to why she decided to give the house away. >> this house does not belong to me. my journey was proving it's possible to get there, and it's less about the house but is it possible, and my husband and i were sitting on the ground and i said it's not ours, and he was, like, what? it goes to somebody else out there. i am so sure i can be the first person to do it twice. >> you can watch that on our nbc bay area streaming app. you can download it now for your roku, apple tv or amazon fire. let's check in with vianey arana for a look at our

microclimate forecast. i won't put you on the spot and ask if you would give the house back? >> it depends on what city and state and location. all of that. a lot of factors go into that. it's cool she was able to do that. i will say that for sure. >> kira, here at home in the bay area, it could be hard to trade because of how expensive it is out here for a bobby pin, but look, it's 52 degrees in san francisco. such a nice and beautiful start if you look out into the water. what are we monitoring now? that tsunami advisory has been canceled. i want to show you satellite radar because this is going to tell a story of what we are seeing this morning. i will zoom this in. we had a system to our north that brought scattered showers activity, and no measurable rain, a couple hundredths of an inch. you could see that if you live south of the golden gate bridge.

the monterey county as well. right now it's about 51 degrees. look at my icon, a little raindrop there. by the afternoon we will get a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures will be in the 50s and 60s today. we are going to be running a few degrees warmer into the afternoon. as far as fog and visibility, this is something we have seen time and time again this week. we are still seeing limited visibility in through areas like concord and tracy, and everywhere else we're doing okay with the fog. let me show you the hour-by-hour outlook, and early tomorrow morning, monday morning, for your commute, we are going to get this cloud cover yet again to start out your workweek. forecasted highs, we will get comfortable temperatures, i would say, in the mid-60s down through san josé. 64 degrees. 61 in livermore. 60s up to the north bay, and also san francisco in the low 60s as well. now, i do want to give you an update on your surf conditions. if you are wondering what is

going out in the water, the tsunami advisory was canceled and the national weather service is advising for folks to remain cautious near the coast, and there could be lingering strong currents still hanging out as that west-northwest swell continues to go outward, we might start to back off on that. now we are seeing waves seven to nine feet, and yesterday we saw waves up to 12 feet. what are we expecting with the range? the dry pattern, if i take this through saturday january 22nd, you can see no real rain in sight, at least not measurable rain, and the 10-day outlook for the euro model, and that's looking dry. here's a closer look at what we are expecting, cloudy through tomorrow but remains dry, and hopefully february is looking good. more on that in a couple minutes. >> fingers crossed. thanks, vianey. controversy as the raiders'

season comes to an end, and did the refs make a mistake with this cincinnati touchdown. sports is next.

good morning, everyone. i am anthony flores. the silver and black are one and done in the post season. the raiders on the road in cincinnati to take on the bangles in the wildcard. controversy in the second quarter. one of the referees blows a inadd whistle, and after discussion it's called a touchdown. it would come down to this, fourth and goal from the nine, and picked off and that's your ball game. the raiders end their season.

as we take a live look outside. oh, beautiful. the pink sunrise shining down on coit tower in alcatraz. it was illuminated in red and gold ahead of the 49ers wildcard game against the cowboys. a gorgeous way to start our morning. thank you for starting your day with us. i am kira klapper. meteorologist, vianey arana, joins us with a look at the microclimate forecast. >> we're calmer, at least in the weather aspect. 45 degrees in walnut creek. this is a live look. we are seeing a little activity on satellite radar to our south, and i will zoom it in a little closer, and if you saw something that looked like showers, you were not imagining it. it's not measurable, light and scattered at times. right now the temperature trend, we're 51 degrees so not starting

out cold. it's mild overall. look at the icon. there it is. 10:00 or 11:00, we are in the upper 50s and we will get sunshine and i will take you through your extended out look coming up. >> we will see you in about 15. a tsunami advisory was issued for most of the west coast yesterday. this morning that advisory is canceled but yesterday coastal communities saw flooding in the bay area. the advisory was triggered around this time yesterday morning because of a volcanic eruption under the sea in the south pacific near the island of tonga. this is the second time the volcano erupted in a month. the tsunami warning was in effect for samoa and tonga. communications are still out this morning leaving many unanswered questions and looming concerns about how the tongan people are doing. san mateo county has one of the

largest tongan populations out of the island, and without any ability to contact their loved ones there, worry here is all consuming. today in the bay's thom jensen reports. >> reporter: we were not able to reach anybody at the consulate, but with tens of thousands of people in the community living in this area and with a blackout across all the islands, they are going to be very busy in the coming days. members of the tongan community are only hearing bits of news coming out of tonga. >> a lot of devastation. there's lot of fear now. >> reporter: her grandmother is safe in fiji, but she worries about family and friends and the people of tonga. >> the eruption was so bad that the internet connection is out. i read that there's also no way

to radio in either. >> there are a few videos circulating showing water rushing through town and this church but the tongan community can tell by the satellite views that the damage could be widespread. >> you have been in communication with anybody over there today? >> only yesterday. >> reporter: they already knew it was going to go? >> yeah. >> reporter: what were they saying? >> scared. >> reporter: another fear facing communities is what will happen when hundreds and possibly thousands of people come to tonga for recovery efforts, worries that covid will grab a foothold in venerable and largely unvaccinated populations. >> it was one of the very few countries that didn't experience

covid until recently, i believe. i think there's a lot of conversation around it, and just trying to figure out what the best step for our people is. >> reporter: the restaurant is eager to hear from any survivors as soon as they can to find out how they can help with donations. she said they know they will be definitely needing food, water, clothes and probably monetary donations in the coming days as they start to rebuild. thom jensen, nbc bay area. now to video to is santa cruz north harbor. the truck parked there became partially submerged and we have an aerial view of how flooded that area became. no word on how much it will cost to clear up the flooding and repair any damage. the flooding we saw in santa cruz was not like what we saw in

2011. you may recall an 8.9 quake in japan caused waves hitting the coast. $26 million in damage. although there were plenty of warnings to stay out of the water yesterday, a surfer ventured into the waves at ocean beach in san francisco had to be rescued. it happened at kelly's cove at the northern part of the beach. the fire department said the waves were so rough that the surfer's board broke stranding him about 300 feet from shore. a team of boats, rescue swimmers and a helicopter responded and were able to get that surfer to safety, and soon after that they rescued another surfer. in san mateo county, two young men fishing at the state beach were swept off rocks by massive

waves and one knocked unconscious. the sheriff tells nbc bay area a deputy jumped into the raging waters and pulled out both fishermen and performed cpr on the unconscious man. the parents of the other man tell us they were overwhelmed with gratitude. >>, oh, my god, i was so scared. i called my husband so we rushed through stanford looking for him. >> thankfully her son is doing well. we are told the other young man knocked unconscious is now in stable condition. in the east bay, more than 100 people are back home here in the berkeley arena this morning after they were told to evacuate after the tsunami advisory. we broke that news yesterday morning for those living in the berkeley arena. christie smith continues our coverage. >> reporter: the evacuation order was clear, get out of the

boats and off the docks in berkeley. sarah greenwood was asleep. >> they drove by with patrol boats and also walked up and down the docks with loud speakers telling us to evacuate immediately. it was about 7:20 this morning. >> reporter: another long-time berkeley resident was alerted by a friend. >> i got a call from a friend in san francisco and she said be careful because there's something coming and then immediately right after that then knock, knock, knock. >> three hours with no water -- >> the red cross arrived quickly to help but some people left and others waited in cars. >> i am more worried about the residents of tonga, honestly. yeah, we're okay here. >> a red cross voluntary showed this video of water moving near the arena, and the west coast advisory prompted by an underwater volcano that erupted

near tonga. >> there will be waves roughly one to three feet high in the marina. >> reporter: 113 people were evacuated from the shoreline and access was restricted. >> it's better to play it safe and make sure there is no injuries, and there has not been injuries reported thus far. >> police did not know immediately how long the advisory would be in place but the state was hoping for a sustained period where currents were not as strong. >> right now it's fairly calm. we have had probably about three or four surges of very strong currents, and it will come in for three or four minutes. >> jacqueline is with the california geological survey and was asked to observe the current. >> i seen a couple boats try to come into the harbor, like, three or four times and they turn around and go back out was the current was too strong. >> today people waited it out. >> it will be several more hours

before we are allowed back on the docks. >> christie smith, bay area news. san diego harbor police warned everybody to take extreme caution on the coast. you can see surge waves tossed part of the dock there and several boats as well. at 7:39, up next on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." starting tomorrow health insurance companies are required to pay for some at home covid test kits. we'll show you how it's supposed to work, next.

good sunday morning. it's a lovely and calm start to our sunday fun day, hopefully, right? san francisco is at 52 degrees. look how pretty this shot is of coit tower, and you can see

alcatraz in the back. so pretty. we are getting a little activity on our radar, and here's a closer look at san josé. about 51 degrees. that's a live look downtown. when it comes to your weather, we are expecting to see the chance of light lingering showers, mainly south of the golden gate bridge and in through monterey and santa cruz for the first half of the morning. here's the reason why. satellite radar, we had the pressure dominating the forecast for the past several days and that's what has been keeping our weather dry. we had a little system from the south push in late last night and that's what brought a little shower activity. no measurable rain, though. a couple 0.01 of an inch. fog and visibility, we're doing okay in the bay area with the exception of tracy and concord. down to a quarter mile in tracy. some areas are waking up to dense fog. your hour-by-hour outlook, once

the clouds clear out and the isolated showers remain a possibility for the next couple of hours, and heading into monday morning for your morning commute, it will be cloudy. daytime highs today will be comfortable, in the mid-60s for the south bay. 64 degrees in san josé. 63 up through santa rosa. notice it will be a mix of sun and clouds. this forecast is going to linger for the next several days. i want to give you an update on the surf conditions. the surf advisory has been canceled, however the national weather service is advising that folks remain cautious near the coast. there could be lingering strong currents that exist and the swell from the west-northwest is starting to go down. the wave heights will get smaller heading into monday. between 7 and 9 feet along the . no rain in sight. the dry pattern continues, and

we have clouds but no rain so we will continue with the cloudy start and the partial sunny afternoon. the euro models also show no rain for the next couple of weeks, and looks like we will end january pretty dry. but in february, it could be more promising as we inch closer to that. we will see morning sprinkles and tomorrow we will wake up pretty cloudy for the start of the workweek. that's it for me, kira. i'll send it back to you. >> love all those suns. coming up, nbc bay area political analyst, larry gerston, joins us to talk about governor gavin newsom's new push for universal health care and the controversy surrounding who would qualify.

welcome back. health insurance companies are now required to cover the cost of at-home covid-19 tests. chris chmura shows how it works and what steps it takes to get

your free tests. >> if you want your health insurance company to pay for an at-home covid-19 test, the first thing to do is find out what your health plan's plan is. here's what we mean. companies can pick upl over-the-counter test sellers and cut a deal with them where you have no out of pocket costs, or you can pay and they reimburse you. figure out which way you are going before you buy anything. keep your receipt and maybe the original packaging before you get paid back. if your plan does set up a network, you don't have to buy from those stores, you can go out of network but the maximum is $12. >> does a deductible apply? how about co pays? >> you get your free at-home test without any deductible, co

insurance or prior authorizations. insurance companies are only required to cover tests bought january 15th and afterward. you can ask for them to cover tests bought before the 15th but they don't have to cover it. tests that are authorized, cleared or approved by the fda are covered. this week gavin newsom covered his budget for 2022-2023. it proposes universal health care coverage for all californians and that includes undocumented residents. it would cost $2.7 billion annually and it would make california the first in the station to offer such a benefit. larry gerston joins us. what has the reaction been so far to this? >> good morning, kira.

so far so good as far as newsom and his friends are concerned. california has a long history, kira, of providing care and assistance for undocumented, for example, driver's license sometime ago, and tuition assistance for california state universities, and food stamps, and all that has been provided for undocumented today, and they have provided undocumented health care for those 50 and over, now they have to fill in the gap for those 18 to 50, and if that happens every undocumented individual in the state would be covered by medi-cal. >> has there been good reaction so far? is there insight on that? >> we have good data here by the public policy institute of california over the last 15 years, we have seen a steady

increase of how people feel about providing health care for undocumented, and today it's 2 to 1, a solid 2 to 1 majority favors health care for undocumented. six or seven years ago, 54%, and then a steady increase. by the way, undocumented immigrants are about a quarter -- in california, about a quarter of the nation's population, 2.7 million here in california, and immigrants in general are 27% of the state. clearly there's a population that is interested and would benefit with what the governor is providing and the public seems to be going along. >> the legislature has to come back with their response, so to speak. what is the likelihood of this gaining legislative support and what would that mean for the governor? >> it may be trickier than we

think, and here's why. if you look at the legislature, it's overwhelmingly democratic, and we know the democratic and legislature is various stripes when it comes to the color of blue, and some are liberal and some are conservative, and so it doesn't mean that all the democrats just fall in. here's the other thing. the governor has been careful so far saying all of these extra amounts of money being allocated because of the surplus would be one-time allocations. in this case that $2.7 billion would be permanent. what happens when things get tight in the state? there might be a source of some oppositional legislators, so yes, it looks good, but don't count your chickens until they are hatched. >> indeed. larry, thank you for your insight, as always. good to see you. up next, a quick look at the top stories we are following including many anxiously awaiting word from loved ones

after the volcanic eruption and tsunami in the south pacific. i will have one final look at your 7-day forecast. what to expect as we head towards the workweek coming up. stay with us.

welcome back. here's a quick look at the top stories we are following this morning including the tsunami
