the towers kind of ups obscured by all this fog speaking of which how does a fog improved well actually it does it looks like today, however, coastal areas will be problematic and will continue to see quite a bit of cloud cover probably get the coastal areas but a nice chunk of the bay is going to open up to some sun that may pose an issue with some isolated thunder showers maybe. coming back again for tonight to agree to very early tomorrow morning fog, rain and potentially some claps of thunder of there too. all right so future cast for running through watch the clear patch comes in not bad but still to the south and up in the north bay by 8 o'clock you can see regeneration of some showers and again an isolated thundershower thrown in there for good measure. and it looks like another patch all the way monday morning as you can see. right across the base or probably going to repeat this summer performance that you're seeing right now tomorrow morning. then by the time we get to tuesday, little stray showers possible. but we're getting some earnest. clearing. let's check out the winds we do have a little up tick on those winds this

afternoon that will be a little bit probably by some clearing and some warming inland happening so get those upper teens going on for winds on shore as we are. and again to repeat it looks like into to our monday rather afternoon. and then they subside for the overnight hours. ok. so look at what we've got going on here morning showers some clearing going on the afternoon they temperatures about 70 ish 70's inland. for tomorrow, very but clouds thunder shower possible. so do the same thing opening up the sky whole bit. excuse me, i'm sorry clearing and warming for this week pushing near about 80 by the end of the week and then into the holiday weekend and there's some mention towards the end that we might have a little sprinkle trying to work in here but that's getting late the month anyway, so we'll see if that holds together 66 san francisco, 69 going on for open 73 meanwhile for san jose. and maybe not in san jose proper but up in the santa cruz mountains again expecting some scattered showers and thunder showers potentially to redevelop

today. mid 70's going on for again out to the delta bit east bay shoreline lower 7069 for open down the southern end of the peninsula in the lower 70's again 73 for san jose. i clicked the button again see get a free check at the 7 day forecast why not here's a thunder shower on monday. got a chance to lingering on tuesday, clearing out for the weekend we'll see again approach about 80 or so as we get into the following weekend we'll take a look at those long range forecast models to let you know some of the colder air aloft about that snow. we expect some of the sierra as well marty and robin back to you. >>all right sounds good. thank you dave. well, the leaders of operation warp speed are confident that they will have developed a vaccine and read produced enough of it to deliver hundreds of millions of doses by the end of the year. >>yeah, but there's another issue that they're going to have to deal with and that is will be enough needles and syringes to go around. drew griffin has that story. if the vaccine for covid-19 were to come today. there would be no way for all of us to get it

there are just not enough needles and syringes. i don't want to be in a situation where we can't deliver those doses because we don't have syringes and we don't have needles and we don't have the basic supplies. >>to deliver that many doses of the vaccine sometime michigan democratic senator gary peters first sounded the alarm last year the pandemic only heightened his years and last week he sent a letter to vice president mike pence and hhs secretary alex azar. >>urging the federal government to take immediate steps to ensure america is prepared to administer a coronavirus vaccine. >>time is not on our side we need to get this done as quickly as possible. >>in a similar warning a whistleblower complaint by rick bright the demoted director of a key federal research agency developing vaccines said his warnings about the shortage of needles and syringes had been ignored and that the u.s. needs between 650 million 850 million needles and syringes. bright may have been pushed

aside. but in testimony before congress this week right suggested someone in the federal government may have been listening protect. i learned that they place an order the first order for needles and syringes on may first and where the amounts at a clip. >>i believe that the u.s. for 320 million needles and syringes. >>in could you please describe the situation if every american does not have access to the vaccine due to a supply shortage. >>and the that situation be catastrophic honestly the decisions have not been made yet. who'd of action a firsthand identify those individuals and and how stretch those limited supplies appropriately. >>3 contracts for vaccine supplies awarded in the past few weeks totaling nearly million. the largest by the department of defense for the u.s. based production of a 100 million prefilled syringes by year in 2020 with the

ultimate production goal of over 500 million prefilled syringes in 2021. sean powell in charge of disaster response for one of the country's largest medical logistics companies says it all adds up 2 enough. >>makes it sound like unlike ppe. we're going to be in a much better position. >>we learned a lot of valuable lessons through covid with ppe and was that we are preparing for the worst or the vaccination in being able to administer the full population should >>that comes with one big caveat. the unknown. >>so we have something that is approved by a particular. supplier manufacturing firms to space can be very challenging for us the to be or or or potential shortages on biles on syringes and needles if estimates are correct if the contracts fulfill. >>the u.s. could have the supplies needed to inoculate the population when and if a covid-19 vaccine is approved.

little bit upstream, but with daytime heating we may see the flare up of some isolated showers and importantly. thunder showers but there you see the concentration of the rain right now on radar zooming in little closer here give you an idea what it looks like that again contra costa county and then of course a little bit off towards the east a little bit it's more scattered about some scattered showers also down the peninsula. so here's a live shot of the bay bridge looks like we're not getting intense rain still kind of cloudy though, and i say that meaning that the skies in the this vantage point will open up a little bit later on for today. winter storm meanwhile we're talking about rain with cold air aloft it's a winter storm warning now midnight tonight through 05:00pm on tuesday cover in the sierra. here's a more details on all of this here, she's me through monday evening. the chevy snow up to 6500 feet up to 3 to 8 inches possible that little bit of a downgrade from what we had yesterday but there's still a winter storm zone in some areas up in the mountains will

also be seeing a a wind advisory coupled with that so that's why the strong winds are couple in there reductions in visibility and such an ear they're about to open up there. lakes and such foreboding mid-eighties going on in the central valley 75 for sacramento. along the central coast mid to upper 60's and out of southern california in the lower to middle 70's. no it's going to put this into motion. opening up a little bit letting the sun coming out again it might see the flare up of an isolated shower thunder shower, but then tonight at any cost will see the rain return. for overnight in the greatest tomorrow morning will freeze again about 06:00am so you're what you're seeing out there now is probably pretty close to what we're going to see tomorrow morning for your morning commute and look at the snows up there in the sierra and it continues as late as tuesday morning potentially before it really starts to break up a little bit projecting how much rain we hit we have we're setting the reset button right now going forward, but adding much

passenger chances, the d ot received more than 25,000 complaints from air travelers in march and april so this week her department issued a second enforcement notice to airlines are rules require that if an airline cancels a flight. the passenger. it's entitled to a prompt refund however that rule does not apply when passengers change their own plans. even then showers urging airlines to be more understanding to be as flexible as they can. but connecticut senator richard blumenthal says airlines have been anything but flexible. >>they are forgetting the screen. the very taxpayers who provided a bailout to telling them they should take he says a passenger's decide it's not safe to fly they still ought to get refunds to passengers should not be penalized tonight and tell says by law carriers must be truthful with all passengers and if they are

not. they will face the enforcement action of the u.s. department of transportation but despite d ot guidance each airline still has its own refund or voucher policy you can look for it in the fine print on your ticket reporting in washington, i'm trevor shirley. >>coming up next on the kron 4 morning news, a special graduation for students at one east bay school. how the class of 2020 was celebrated for their achievements coming up. >>and for parades and such like that yeah we're battling some rain this morning. but it looks like we'll get some clearing acts happening this afternoon only to return again for tomorromorning. yeah,

situation repeat. the bulk of the rain and rain on stormtracker four's in the east bay, extends a little bit out of the south bay as well looks like we'll start to see some clear patches developing up in the north bay though to but putting it all into motion you'll see it looks like the source is breaking up a little bit but the apparent low is still out to sea there so that will be a little bit of tomorrow's forecast as well live shot of alcatraz in the foreground san francisco behind its in the bay bridge in clear shot sweet things around the golden gate look at that some blue skies off to the left-hand side so make sure you have your shades if you're going to be out about today to because what looks like we have some sun coming our way but with cold air aloft we run that risk of maybe a little isolated shower or thundershower about the fog. that will clear out it looks like in the late morning hours maybe a problematic situation at the coast as you can see, but this will return again for tonight with rain over the entire district it looks like although it breaks up quite a bit in the east bay by comparison sake. so here's future cast for with all that rain breaks up a little bit

although redeveloped a little bit in the south particularly by later tonight in the north bay too. and that will be after we got all the heating of the day as well. so the rain overnight an ice patch right there around dawn as you can see moving on through and then taking this all the way up through monday, another clearing and then his latest to stay some rain showers tuesday morning still possible couples are scattered showers that are at work some winds that are also building a little bit this afternoon in the east bay little bit up to the north bay as well clearly all onshore. and we do the same program again for monday afternoon as well again we expect some afternoon clearing too. still kind of gloomy do me from this shot here of the bay bridge looking off over the east bay hills morning showers some clearing which is already getting started. bay area temperatures around 70 ish 70's inland. tomorrow, we'll do variable clouds a thunder shower possible. and then for this week, clearing and warming pushing near about 80 by week's end and that means by friday as the holiday
