little bit that we some cooler air filtering in behind that in windsor second part of this the will be getting into there's sfo again we're looking at 50's pretty much bay area wide for highs, those showers turn into light rain showers then a secondary little those tries to develop into the afternoon. we'll put this all together for you coming up in just a bit marty ok dave you're going to be busy this morning. thanks. a lot. we're not just tracking the storm right here in the studio as we take this live look outside we're also taking a look at how it's affecting. >>the areas that were hit by the summer fires as officials are closely watching those areas for the possibility of flooding. kron four's reyna harvey is live in corte madera she has a look at the conditions right now rain and we have both good news and bad news of course we need the rain but we're also dealing with people who have now we're watching possible mudslides or the danger of that. >>marty good morning. it's a scary feeling, you know i was driving from the east bay out here to the north bay and it is coming down, i want to show you the freeway, one oh one south right behind me, but any

to zoom in for you. so you all can see if you're driving out here this is pretty much what you're going to be encountering as you're hearing these roadways. i was driving along the 5.80. i heading out here and hit a few pockets. i have water is so a lot of people they're out commuting this morning please be cautious please be careful as you're driving. throughout the east bay, the north bay because it's covering everywhere want to also show you some video of the across the bay area and this is what it looks like as you're out on the roadways here you can see the water, calming down now a major concern like you mentioned marty is we've had a lot. fires over the past few months and especially in the areas of the north bay, you know also the south bay. if you're in any of these areas and you've encountered or experience any of these fires. you're thinking about the mudslides so that is something that officials want to put on people's radar and the same way they've told people to be ready in mindful. the fires that potentially could happen

you also have to prepare for mudslides also in the north bay we talked about the king tides, you know, and these areas in moran, especially where the tide is really high. the water is really thick and especially with the weather conditions today that's another main concern so if you are out if you have to do any community you want to be cautious today, especially because it looks like the entire bay area. it's going to be feeling this wet weather and this rain out here so i guess the biggest piece of advice that i have of people this morning. marty if you are driving. take it slow take it slow take it slow. for now or end reyna harvey kron 4 news all right ray thanks a lot that live report from the let's get to the other big story we're following this morning. the expected arrival of the coronavirus vaccine here in the bay area. >>pfizer shipping out the first doses and now they're making their way to airports across the country, including right here in the bay area. but while the first doses have been shipped we're still going to have to wait a little bit

>>good morning, everybody welcome we're waking up to some rain around the bay area and it's welcome back for a lot of folks as far as here tell us just how long it's going to last 9 days. >>hey marty good morning and good morning, everybody we may get a little bit of a break as we get into this afternoon but it will come with some breezy conditions and there's yet another little bows before we put this to rest for this sunday to get some showers and that will favor a little bit more the traditional north bay, san francisco. as that little last wave moves this is supposed to be alcatraz again

hard to see that with all the fog going on, but a little bit better view the we're getting at the golden gate at least we can see the southern tower here but wet roads course keep the lights on windshield wipers the whole bit and just a little bit of caution when driving has been a while since we had a good rain going on the puddles are developing so. here's a looks like on storm tracker for we have the first wave moves through right before dawn, but the new one is starting to develop right now as we speak and you can see it right out to sea here southern marin and san francisco basically a west to east to directory we look at it on storm tracker 4 there you see it with a heavy dose happening right here in san francisco right across the golden gate up to southern marin but the other established batch off to the far east bay and out of the south bay to trying to get treated to this to say everybody in the bay is getting something here. it's not just well it's up in the north bay in grazing a little bit of san francisco in the peninsula. everybody is getting this which is nice so what happens in the future going forward into later this morning. we see that last dose

play through it actually kind of seems the pop alive a little bit as it marches in the east bay and out of the south bay freezing things about 2 o'clock and here's this last little batch here i mentioned not much to it. as you can see probably won't make it a great coverage area pretty much just grazing across the north a little bit opening up the skies in its wake and that means to with temperatures starting to fall with those strong onshore winds take a look at this not so noticeable in the morning hours we approach around noon. we're still southerly in the peninsula that means the front hasn't passed then we get them on shore as you'll notice all this afternoon. now as i speak right now there's no wind advisory that's been posted that this is really close to that threshold in the 20 mile per hour range and it looks like it's going to hold all the way into the evening hours so expected to be kind of rainy windy and then windy even after the rain passes your area. temperatures right now 55 oakland 51 san francisco couple 40's in the upper north bay there 48 for concord and 52 meanwhile for san jose. how much more rain

we're going to get 0 doubt right now and we add to it not bad as we get into the late morning hours into the early afternoon picking up over half a dollar looks like san francisco also oakland. hayward is well even these inland areas in the east bay like livermore tri valley. you could pick up an additional half of an inch of rain from all of us actually little bit less up here in the north bay with just another little wave to pass later on today. so we've got rain showers mostly cloudy. windy breezy afternoon this was showing you this week, rain and showers midweek we take a break for a couple of days and wednesday to something that looks like. but thursday looks to be the bigger day to see some they are white rain rain also possible into the weekend. we're looking at next sunday is a possibility there keeping up mostly cloudy temperatures 58 san francisco also it looks like for san jose and 59 for oakland, rain events tend to keep a lot of uniformity with our temperatures across the bay as you can see upper 50's will be the rule for today marty. all right dave thanks a

lot. back to the news this morning police arrested at least 6 people last night after doing protesters clashed at the state capitol in sacramento. in fact 5 sacramento police officer suffered minor injuries. there was a heavy police presence around the kratt capital has multiple groups gathered there. officers say some demonstrators wore body armor helmets and gas masks and one group of about 50 people were dressed in all black. >>and they brought metal poles from the nearby construction site. some of the groups reportedly also use pepper spray on one another that forced officers to declared the gathering an unlawful assembly. thousands of president trump supporters in washington dc on saturday, including members of the far right group the proud boys we're marching down several streets in the nation's

capital showing support for the president failed attempt to overturn the election. the demonstrators cheered as the president flew overhead in marine one on his way to the army-navy football game at west point new york. took place just before the electoral college meets tomorrow to formally elect biden as the by a 46 president as of now 306 electors are pledged to vote for president elect biden and 232 for president trump. but in an election cycle where nothing is gone normally. we asked our national political correspondent joe khalil to walk us through what happens next. there's a lot that's misunderstood about the electoral college is a group of voters that eventually decides who is going to be. >>president and it's a number of different groups state by state and in washington dc they don't need in person people typically don't understand that because it's usually a formality but this year with all the election challenges of the confusion around the election results.

it's going to be a keen eye on how the electoral college functions when they cast their ballots tomorrow. while 10's of millions of americans cast votes in the november election only 538 people will officially cast a ballot. >>for president those 538 or the electors in the electoral college said this and never thought in my life be a member of electoral college to be able to do that and to represent the state. >>it's an honor and i and i don't use that word lightly ken roberson and greg hughes or 2 of those 538 rover sent from maryland hughes from utah people take this. >>seriously it's not something that age do just because it's a political game. so how did these men become electors typically state parties choose them. this state democrat and republican parties in maryland, which has 10 electoral college votes. each choose 10 electors likewise in utah which has 6 electoral college votes, the republican and democratic parties there.

each shoes, 6 electors. when you cast a ballot. for whomever you vote for for president. you're actually casting a ballot for that slate of electors it's a you know on the top you're voting for joseph r biden or donald j trump, but you're really voting for. >>depending on your state the slate of electors and it's that way by design according to historian philip van fosston he says the founding fathers were skeptical about letting the public vote directly thinking they may be swayed by propaganda or foreign influence today though electors are bound by law in some states to honor the popular vote in their respective state because electors are pledged to particular candidates and because they're usually chosen as party members you would expect almost all of them to vote for the person that their pledge to kermit roosevelt university of pennsylvania, professor says throughout american history electors have stayed true to their pledged candidate states do have mechanisms whereby if the left

or doesn't vote the way they're supposed to. >>they get removed substitute elector gets put in so roosevelt house don't expect any surprises tomorrow when the electoral college casts its votes while there was some speculation this year that states joe biden one with republican controlled legislatures could change their electors to support president trump. roosevelt says the constitution guards against that the constitution gives the state legislature, the power to determine how the electors are chosen which is true and then they take much more radical step of saying they can change their mind if that popular vote doesn't come out the way they wanted to and say we the legislature going to appoint the electors ourselves. >>that's really a argument and for all the importance of electing a president the moment itself is basically a formality we just warning and go. >>and really just least 7 documents that's essentially it. >>the elector sign their votes which eventually will be certified by congress in january making it official

routine nonetheless historic i'm pretty excited to be part of that process. >>and that was joe khalil reporting for us now once joe biden's electoral votes are certified. he will officially be declared the winner of the election ahead of his by harnessing california's abundant wind and solar energy, we have the power to take on climate change. use less from 4 to 9 pm to keep california golden. right now, you can get a free breakfast baconator with any order in the wendy's app. so you can shake up and wake up your breakfast. we're bringing that big bacon energy all day long so you can always be baconating! with a free breakfast baconator.

history museums would get the green light this after decades of delay. but it hasn't happened or washington dc correspondent alexandra le mon reports a single senator stood in the way. >>a single republican senator blocked a vote on legislation to plan smithsonian museums on the national mall honoring contributions of latino americans and women to american society, the smithsonian institution should not have an exclusive museum of american latino history where a museum of women's history or a museum of americans american men's history senator mike lee of utah argued a latino history museum would divide americans the so-called critical theory and are guarding this movement. does not celebrate diversity. it weaponize is diversity. senator lee says smithsonian museum celebrating need of americans and african americans are different because those groups have been systemically excluded from american history and museums, an argument senator bob

menendez took issue with where somehow now systemically exclude believe me. we happen and the only righteous way to end that exclusion is to pass this bill in 1994, the smithsonian institution acknowledged it almost entirely excludes and ignores latinos and it recommended a latino museum be built the proposed women's and latino museums also have strong support from republicans like senators john cornyn and susan collins, and it seems wrong. >>that one senator can block consideration. lawmakers vowed to keep fighting for the creation of the museums in washington, alexandra le mon. >>we're starting our sunday off on a wet note as we have some moderate to heavy rain marched through earlier now we can see action nice big clump of it up there the palais whole extending down to local counties will notice there concord getting also a good dose as well as hercules and there's a new dose starting to redevelop upstream coming

able to dry out as quickly but sometimes at about part of cooling at the surface can cool things off to a lot of factors to look out for sfo i checked no delays maybe they have less traffic i'm not sure but it looks pretty nasty. there doesn't do the kind of the fog and clouds and this is also to walnut creek which for having trouble making out now use even getting a deal some of the traffic it's there so obviously with the heavier rain is going on it's hard to kind of take all that so let's go ahead with the forecast models to see what's going on here as we go forward later, here's this explosion that happens taking us to about 1015 or so right across midday by the time we leave you today on the broadcast. elise course kronon will continue behind all of that will get another little last minute those this is pretty much going to be north bay, centric it's really not going to spread out elsewhere after that dose here comes the clearing patch here starting to develop and that will also mean dryer air now with this water to surface of course you get that cooling it will cool us off a little bit more so other part of the issue this is not getting much

attention but it will be the winds. to start off we're going kind of onshore wind a little bit of a southerly flow right now that takes us until about noon or so, but then this afternoon with another wave moving through we will have those strong onshore winds. just below the threshold, however, it looks like so they don't have any wind advisories that have been posted longer range forecast models obviously rain for today. we get a break for a couple of days mid week, maybe wednesday and probably more scattered clouds maybe a little drizzle perhaps with that thursday want to put your cards on to see something happen that will be very early on thursday thursday morning commute. going into the weekend somewhat quiet and then as we get to the end of the weekend looks like another dose there to this is the winter pattern that we're fixated on west to east finally getting some of this action so that just grazing us too. the north and then even upstream looks like something by monday as well. temperatures for highs today, upper 50's just about bay area wide will be only a couple degrees difference between the coast the inland areas, the bay side in the inland. so we

expected this week ahead. again we're looking for other chance of rain developing by thursday looks like and then as we head into the latter portion of the weekend temperatures will hold upper 50's near about 60 ish but i mentioned this earlier big drop in temperatures with drier air. inland middle 30's here. mild midweek and then dropping off a little bit by thursday as you'll notice there 33 for the coastal be 40's in maybe some 50's marty all right dave. thank you. well for your health this morning, we know that many people are feeling the pandemic stress this holiday season. doctors say there are some ways to help ease those nerves. >>they say first and foremost just stop and breeze. also learn your triggers and try not to rush around. and also try and stay in the present by focusing on what's in front of you and lastly you might want to make a list so that way you can easily remember what needs to get done. and then you have. mark it off. as restaurants across the bay area are forced to close their

>>and welcome back to kron 4 morning news, good morning

what sunday is wha. it looks from the actually beginning before sunrise and will continue through the morning hours tapering off a little bit in the afternoon we have winds will pick up the ride through this afternoon. we have another dose to expect up in the north bay to before we kind of but the on this rain event but there's more upstream for the week ahead, so just putting everything together here beginning as the predawn hours were right about here and then we have a new wave developed that's march through we have a 3rd wave still developing for more moderate to heavy rains across the bay area this is great because everybody is getting this not just north bay. and you know maybe just grazing portions of midday. everybody's getting this including down to the south bay too. let's zoom in here on the north bay area and give you an idea what's going on in contra costa county there's some moderate rain still holding together the big heavy line has since moved out and then upstream the still more to be had. and give you an idea what it looks like this is one of the quote clear shots i can get it's actually

at the coast that half moon bay. there you have it overcast skies which will probably be much of the case for today. we're getting a better shot of the golden gate bridge both showers coming into view a little bit here as rick looks like we're getting some lighter rain compare the heavier stuff we just had the last few hours. so this is what we can expect over the next couple of hours again. redevelopment of some heavier rain across the bay getting us to the noon hour. then as we get to the early afternoon. another batch that will be north bay centric it's not going to do much compared to what we've had to just add on top again up in the north bay after that we get a clear patch really move through this will be was some dry air and winds will come with that good strong onshore winds. there are no wind advisories that have been posted but winds will be even this afternoon a bit on the noose inside so we're just talking about holiday shopping right that if for some reason route about or whatever prepare accordingly grab that steering wheel pretty tight fourwinds let's watch what happens here. the morning hours pretty much of a southerly flow here because

the front still got a pass and we're into the teens with some lower to middle 20's. then later on we get that good strong onshore wind that everybody pretty much gets into the 20's north bay east bay down the peninsula as you will see going into the early evening hours here. and by that point. it will be the drier air up here in the north bay in with moisture at the surface. what you get it's some of operative cooling occurring a little bit there that can actually push temperatures down real quick. so it may get to chile early this evening. we're looking at current temperatures in the 50's close to what the highs will be some of the outlying areas into the 40's holding on to 5153 for san jose tracking the rain adding to what we've had we 0 everything out right now and going forward pick up have a dollar there san francisco on the east bay shoreline close to that even inland livermore over quarter of an inch with concord 30.34 nevada went up in the santa rosa barely picking up anything from now and other almost quarter of an inch for

san jose. so our forecast today gets those temperature highs almost 60 upper 50's again that will be coast to the inland areas. rain showers we're calling that more early but wendy will be the second part you can expect this afternoon probably after about 2 o'clock or so the next thing to look out for will be those winds with again just some showers grazing up in the north bay. highs again will be in the upper 50's but as i said earlier there are some new opportunities for rain all week and into next weekend. we'll give you some of those projections coming up just a bit thank you. police arrested at least 6 people last night after dueling protesters clashed at the state capitol. >>5 sacramento. police officers suffered minor injuries and there was a heavy police presence around the capitol grounds as multiple groups gathered officers say some demonstrators wore body armor helmets and gas masks. one group of about 50 people were dressed in all black and they brought metal poles with them from a nearby construction site. some of the groups reportedly used pepper spray on one another and at

will be because the days are so short. as we get into what will be now we find our evening hours. but like 4 5 o'clock or so and that will be dry air coming in with winds that which means that will push our temperatures down pretty quickly compliments of a sum of apple of cooling. there's what it looks like at half moon bay kind of overcast as you'd expected here we are getting rain and such but at least the visibility appears to be kind of up compared to what we were seeing earlier mid 50's pretty much across the bay itself in the new-look inland, a drops off into the 40's don't expect a lot of movement today. temperatures will stay pretty much in the 50's coast to inland areas and the bay. those showers by 3 that's a little bit may be overstating it will be tapering off for most areas we the last week we expect to graze across the north bay about that point that coming up a little bit we'll take a look again what's going on for today and then take a look at what you can expect for the week ahead. ok dave thanks a lot. let's get right back to top story this morning. the first doses of a coronavirus vaccine are shipping out today and that's kicking off the

largest immunization campaign in u.s. history. pfizer says the trucks are leaving from the company's plants in michigan and in wisconsin. the deliveries come after the fda authorized emergency use of pfizer's vaccine late friday now those doses will be delivered. >>to more than 600 locations across the country. fda officials say that safety checks will remain in place even after the backs vaccine is distributed. the fda's review teams continue as they have always done to come through the data submitted by companies regarding their medical products. area will be receiving about 75,000 doses of the pfizer vaccine and there could be hundreds of thousands more doses in the coming weeks from moderna the fda is scheduled to review that company's vaccine. next thursday. and all of this can't come soon enough as the number of available icu beds in the state continues to drop to critical levels we have the latest numbers for you on the

screen. the bay area hovering above the 15% threshold that would trigger a shutdown now southern california and sacramento area have already hit that mark but for now the hot spot is in the san joaquin valley where you see the 0 there and that means are no icu beds available. doctors project that it's only going to get worse over the next few weeks ucsf infectious disease specialist doctor, peter chin-hong says that extremely low icu capacity in other parts of the state can affect us here in the bay area as well that's because research resources here can be pulled away to help out in those positions where the rates are you doing even worse as the rates continue to trend negatively statewide it will lead to tougher decisions with in intensive care units. >>and you start flooding. the hospital with more patients then hospitals can take care of death rates rise not because they don't have state of the minutes, them mainly because you can't just take care of everyone even if

you're the best possible around the fact that the thing about ice you back a posse. i suggest we're in pretty tough times. the next thing you have to act will be think human deaths which i hope we don't get >>well staffing is already alarming issue at hospitals in the state one reason is the frontline healthcare workers are being infected with the virus. that creates an even shorter supply of trained professional nurses. the first round of vaccines will go to healthcare workers first responders and nursing home residents. but one california congressman is pushing for farm workers to be vaccinated soon after that that includes feel workers and processing plant employees representative josh, harder wants them vaccinated so there's as little interruption as possible to the food supply chain perdue farms in oakdale is the nation's 4th largest poultry producer. company officials there wrote a letter calling on the cdc and state governors to prioritize meat and poultry workers and to

establish a multi of coordinated multi-state plan for vaccine distribution. >>these workers going to do their jobs and matter what happens even in the midst of pandemic to have to put their health and safety the line even if there's a light at the end of the tunnel for this vaccine. we have to make sure that we're protecting the folks created a place for america. >>throughout the pandemic meat processing plants and field workers have been hot spots for coronavirus outbreaks. he says that getting egg workers vaccinated doesn't just protect them, and also help stop the spread of the virus. and for your health this morning, californians who need health insurance now have a little longer to search for a provider through covered california. the deadline has been extended to december 30th covered california pushed its deadline back to help californians get health care during the pandemic coverage will begin on january first for those who sign up by the extended deadline. according to covered california. there's

still about 1.2 million californians who are uninsured. >>and coming up on the kron 4 morning news after the break there's a simple proposal meant to honor the contributions of latino americans and women. but one lawmaker chose to keep that from happening. we'll explain why when we come back.

let's be honest. quitting smoking is hard. like, quitting every monday hard. quitting feels so big. so try making it smaller, and you'll be surprised at how easily starting small can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette. if your gums bleed when you brush, the answer is yes. starting small can lead to something big. the clock may be ticking towards worse... parodontax is 3x more effective at removing plaque, the main cause of bleeding gums parodontax

>>welcome back in national news this morning, lawmakers in washington now have less than a week to agree on new spending and stimulus bills after congress granted itself a one-week extension last friday. the president signed the spending bill into law to avert a government shutdown but as millions of americans are struggling to the pandemic both sides are still far apart on the stimulus deal. unemployment extensions and a federal moratorium on evictions will end on december 31st. if an agreement isn't reached this week. there was a march in los angeles this weekend to support small businesses now in years past it was a call to buy from small businesses during the holiday season, but this year the marchers want everyone to save what they consider to be the heart of a community. chris wolfe has more. wearing green clothing and face coverings a small but vocal crowd hit the streets of la

communities, how do we have 7 million people flying on airplanes and somehow there's research that shows it's safe to fly in an enclosed cabin spent hours and hours in airport together but you can't sit outside in a restaurant distance 8 feet apart when the curfew came down we literally saw people exchanging out to where to meet up at someone's house. >>so we're really not helping the situation by taking away. the safe outdoor areas that have been created the businesses have invested in following the protocols that have been set forth by the county or the state. the los angeles county sent me a $40,000 property tax bill do yesterday. >>the public health from the county sent me a $1700 bill. state of california sent me a 1200 are liquor license bill. they're sending as 10's of thousands of dollars of bills to my small restaurant, i'm laying off employees and they want money from us businesses are calling for enhanced government assistance and oversight. >>to allow them to stay open during the crisis. some are

floating the idea of a covid compliance rating system similar to the regular health code practice, we need a solution now and we want to be part of that solution. >>and that was chris wolfe reporting for us from southern california, dave, all right still to come we're tracking rain going across the bay this morning. there's more into this afternoon coupled with some wins and there is more still in the week advanced non-small cell lung cancer can take away so much. but today there's a combination of two immunotherapies you can take first. one that could mean... a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread and that tests positive for pd-l1 and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. it's the first and only approved chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies that works together in different ways to harness the power of the immune system. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more days. more nights. more beautiful weekends. more ugly sweaters.

>>good morning, welcome back let's go ahead and check out the weather forecast with days far because he has a lot to talk about this morning. did yeah mardy good morning and good morning, everybody, our rain marching all the way across the bay area we've already seen about 2 waves move through here is like the 3rd of the development of a 3rd you can see here. some rain showers heavy as you can see the moderate iran sandra fell and extends down to the south the we expect this to spread out across the bay area over the next hour or so after this way most a bay area then we'll be able to retire the moderate to heavy rain showers will be left just a few little scattered showers and winds that some of the part of this forecast we'll get into that just a bit but again noting where the rain all is again a little pocket there in sandra fell and off to richmond open good moderate rain showers and breaking up a little bit for san francisco, let's head south here, san jose looks like you're getting some more to some moderate rain showers coming into the valley there too in the santa cruz mountains of course the up sloping and obviously breaking up in the peninsula, but again more to be had as this cold goes west to east. a look at

it in actual motion, it slides a little bit to the south too but here's the last little wave. we expect later on this afternoon evening and that will graze across the north bay with just moderate rain showers live shot of sfo you see some traffic going on there were reporting no delays we haven't heard of going on and then the so shot from well temper on yeah i want to give you this another view what's on and there you can see visibility is really down from right now because they're getting some heavy rains right now in southern britain. all right, let's go to the forecast maps here. you an idea what's going on the latest pop is now happening in southern moronic spreads out across the wider bay as we get to around the noon hour behind that is the last wave that will graze across the north bay. this afternoon getting into the early evening. now by this point this is going to bring in some drier air but more importantly it's going up those winds on shore as they are going to get to that in just a bit but here's the clearing patch right across the bay and with this dry air and winds that means adding to

evaporative cooling at the surface, we'll start to make things a little chilly early this evening. we go through this and we're still dealing with winds coming from the south at first around noon and then after all of that passes with that heavier rain then we get them strong onshore into the afternoon. this is not enough for a wind advisory, but it will be a nuisance when if you're out and that certainly so just plan accordingly that blustery afternoon going on winter weather we send you up to tahoe in this is what's going on there. we have a winter storm advisory and a winter storm warning going on that's where the reds or you could pick up and some of those locations up there a foot of snow or a little bit more that will be coupled with winds technically until 04:00am and after that everybody is kind of taking a breather for the early part of the week this is what the long range forecast models say next tip to look out for kind of wednesday but more important probably thursday looks like a better chance to bet on getting some rain another breather and then we get to sunday. and that's when another dose of rain

comes our way being projected into the early afternoon of course this is way out things in time you can change and maybe lingering all the way until monday to so we open up the door to see these systems coming in from the pacific and as our wet season, upper 50's across most of the region. that's expected for highs today. give me an idea of the 7 day forecast next dose of rain looks to be thursday and then another one into sunday, most numbers will be upper 50's lower 60's, not a lot of temperature movement because of the pattern you know west to east going on here. now these lows are more interesting we're going to drop off a little bit early into the week because of drier air that's at work here then we're back to the 40's telling us moistures in place here and then another quick drop on thursday a little chilly there looks like a 33. the coastal stay in the 40's and about 50 marty all right dave. thank you is of course has been a very tough year for a lot of americans who are facing economic and health hardships that the pandemic has brought on. >>but there is one california economist who says there's hope for the roaring 2020's on

the way. reporter nancy loo has more on that. because we're coming out of such a deep hole we're going to be coming out relatively fast economists leo feller believes a new roaring 20's will parallel the last one just as it was in the gilded age it won't be a boom for all. >>it's going to be a roaring, you know 2020 but for whom and the answer is it's going to continue being very unequal. and it's going to take off or unemployment come down because we've decimated parts of our economy that are very labor intensive sellers latest u c l a anderson forecast says a strong california recovery will be bolstered by sectors such as technology and residential construction. nationally the forecast predicts the current dismal gdp rate of 1.2% will grow to one 0.8% in the 1st quarter of next year. and then america will see a booming jumped to 6% thereafter all the way through 2023 or forecasting growth above 3% every single

quarter. we haven't had growth like that. and really the past decade, but the numbers are based on the mass vaccination of americans against covid by next summer. a likelihood that may be hampered by availability public willingness and logistics and feller stresses the outlook doesn't reflect economic misery. 10's of millions are unemployed and homeless though in general a depressing marathon is almost over we're coming into a time of more normalcy. >>and a time that we expect people after this past year to be consuming much more than they were. previously in you know catching up with the experiences they missed out on carl tannenbaum is chief economist at northern trust which is also predicting gdp at around 6% by next summer. >>but things won't necessarily be rosy. >>i think the fundamentals long-term for the economy are okay, but certainly not we do have a lot of depth we're

going to have to pay down the demographics of the united states are skewing a little bit towards the older which is usually not associated a roaring economy. well that was nancy loo reporting for us this morning, the u c l a report also confirms that the pandemic has contributed to inequality with essentially the rich getting richer. >>accumulating about one and a half trillion dollars in savings over the past 9 months alone. they say that that's money that may fuel the economy when things finally do open up again and we'll be right back.

>>socially is a good starting the trouble in the problem that you put your mask a service without if you don't have to share one of together shoot for the cash and it's informative to it's a new video created by the folks at sfo. >>encouraging everyone to wear masks and social distance and they're doing it in a fun way that moves around the airport in addition to this catchy video sfo is also has some walking around the airport making sure that everyone is wearing a mask. well still ahead in the next hour, the kron 4 morning news pfizer's vaccine has shifted doses are headed to the bay area we're going to take a look at when we can expect the first shots to be delivered.

>>good morning welcome back when we get rain in the bay area we always want to check out the sierra because they usually get snow and this is a look donner heading into the sierra and have a little bit of fresh snow, it looks like on either side of the highway there noelle definitely they got those snow. they started to get snow flurries about friday. and it's just kind of continue to come down there. dave spahr is. >>standing by he's got a little bit more detail on just how much snow is getting there and how much rain we're going continue getting over the next couple days a day. >>yeah, we're looking at a winter weather advisory cover the tahoe area maybe about a

foot of snow is what they may get from all of this in total. and also when we're talking about rain in the bay area happening the next opportunity looks to be wednesday night into thursday, it's more snow up there as we expect as well, here's what the radar trackers is giving us right now, there's a yet a 3rd line just starting to develop here. this is going to last big one we're going to see today before we just tape of the a few showers that's going freezes get the idea what's going on looks like the cells really coming alive there on the extending all the way down to san francisco with moderate at times some heavy rain breaking up a little bit as you can see the east bay shoreline down to fremont and down the santa clara valley, it's breaks up to accept mount hamilton the santa cruz mountains again this other way is yet to come for you folks there live shot coming in from temper on there is the fog covering everything up we can't get the golden gate in view at all and even up close and personal you can see with this new rain coming. it's even blocking a little bit the southern tower just a bit. let's at the models do their thing is we march

forward over the next couple of hours again, this is the last major wave than upstream in the early afternoon the will be generally speaking a north bay centric aligned very scattered about for some last minute showers behind that note the clear patch here this is drier cooler air too. but it comes with winds. so that's really an excel or 8 the evaporative cooling process that goes into tonight, so temperatures are really fall in the north bay pretty quickly this evening, so we start off with kind of breezy conditions that we're dealing with right now winds are still kind of coming out of the north of the south rather already shifting by 1 o'clock you'll notice for good strong onshore wind for this afternoon. now this looks pretty active here and that's not enough for the criteria for wind advisory, but it's just below that so it kind of blustery going on as rain starts to wane a little bit. it will be replaced by those winds as we just discussed and will take us into tonight, remember this will be a clear patch by this point and this will be dry air that will be working on us in the north bay

last night after doing protesters clashed at the state capitol 5 sacramento. police officers suffered minor injuries and there was a heavy police presence around the capital as multiple groups gathered. officers say that some demonstrators wore body armor helmets and gas masks. one group of about 50 people were dressed in all black and they brought metal poles with them from a nearby construction site. some of the groups reportedly used pepper spray on one forcing officers then to declared the gathering an unlawful assembly. >>thousands of president trump supporters demonstrated in washington dc on saturday, including some members of the far right group the proud boys. they marched down several streets showing support for the president's failed attempt to overturn the election. the demonstrators cheered as the president flew overhead and the marine one helicopter. he was on his way to the army navy football game at west point.

>>now that rally did take before the electoral college meets tomorrow to formally elect biden as the 46th president as of now 306 electors our pledge to vote for president elect joe biden and 232 for president trump but in an election cycle where nothing has gotten normally. we asked national political correspondent joe khaleel to walk us through what happens next. >>there's a lot that's misunderstood about the electoral college is a group of voters that eventually decides who is going to be president and it's a number of different groups state by state and in washington dc they don't need in person now people typically don't understand that because it's usually a formality but this year with all the election challenges of the confusion around the election results. it's going to be a keen eye on how the electoral college functions when they cast their ballots tomorrow. while 10's of millions of americans cast votes in the november election only 538 people what officially cast a ballot.

>>for president those 538 or the electors in the electoral college studied this and never thought in my life that i'd be a member of electoral college to be able to do that and to represent the state. >>it's an honor and i and i don't use that word lightly ken roberson and greg hughes or 2 of those 538 rover sent from maryland hughes from utah people take this. >>seriously is that something that age do just because it's a political game. so how did these men become electors typically state parties choose them. this state democrat and republican parties in maryland, which has 10 electoral college votes. each choose 10 electors likewise in utah which has 6 electoral college votes, the republican and democratic parties there. each choose 6 electors. when you cast a ballot. for whomever you vote for for president. you're actually casting a ballot for that slate of electors it's a you

know on the top you're voting for joseph r biden or donald j trump, but you're really voting for. >>depending on your state the slate of electors and it's that way by design according to historian philip van fosston he says the founding fathers were skeptical about letting the public vote directly thinking they may be swayed by propaganda or foreign influence today though electors are bound by law in some states to honor the popular vote in their respective state because electors are pledged to particular candidates and because they're usually chosen as party members you would expect almost all of them to vote for the person that their pledge to kermit roosevelt university of pennsylvania, professor says throughout american history electors have stayed true to their pledged candidate states do have mechanisms whereby if the left or doesn't vote the way they're supposed to. >>they get removed substitute elector gets put in so roosevelt house don't expect any surprises tomorrow when the electoral college casts its votes while there was some speculation this year that

states joe biden one with republican controlled legislatures could change their electors to support president trump. roosevelt says the constitution guards against that the constitution gives the state legislature, the power to determine how the electors are chosen which is true and then they take them much more radical step of saying they can change their mind if that popular vote doesn't come out the way they wanted to and say we the legislature going to appoint the electors ourselves. >>that's really a argument and for all the importance of electing a president the moment itself is basically a formality we get sworn in and go. >>and we really just least 7 documents that's essentially it. >>the elector sign their votes which eventually will be certified by congress in january making it official werteen nonetheless historic i'm pretty excited to be part of that process. >>that was joe khalil reporting for us once joe biden's electoral votes are certified. he will officially be declared the winner of the

election. ahead of his inauguration on january 20th. >>and still ahead this morning on the kron 00:00am morning news, thousands of dollars and rare wines stolen from a san jose store we'll find out why the owner says the crook's were not amateurs.

east as we go forward so for the next hour or so you should get this rain down san jose in the south bay and extending down the communities of the east bay shoreline to the south and off to try valley which they're getting a pretty much now as well. now upstream here they'll be some last minute wait to come show you this on the forecast by late this afternoon into the early evening and then behind all of that it's really dry air in a good strong onshore flow that will be getting as we get into the afternoon evening hours live camera shot on sfo you can barely make anything out there there are actually no delays happening. there we've seen some traffic going on this morning the shot from to broad yeah that's what that is and that's a pretty much cloud up right now with fog and all the overcast future cast for this is the line we expected to pop it is in place right now dropping south and east throughout the next couple of hours by noon the bulk of which will be east of us but we'll be left with those scattered showers and of course winds and here's the last line i was mentioning

that will pretty much gray's across the north bay and with the sun setting pretty early now that's going to pretty much take care of your sunday daylight hours as we wait for some drier air to filter in behind it and with that that drier air will provide of extra cooling effect really pushing down those temperatures speaking of the winds. here's how we are in future cast for with that store sort out of the south at first until we get around noon the next shift on shore. not enough to merit this a wind advisory, but you can see the winds getting up to the 20's and all kinds of locations we know don't normally talk about the winds well in the east bay. a little bit up in the north bay too but even the peninsula sore, but it's kind of getting these winds. this afternoon. the sort of has a cap to the heaviest rain that we're going to get for today. now we're also getting winter storm weather up happening you can see the advisory is in the blue and the red is the winter storm warning both until 04:00am tomorrow morning. but there is more upstream extent expect the snow to return, we'll get about a foot out of

lows inland. we have a drop happening tonight because of that drier air and clear skies we recovered the 40's but watch out wednesday night into thursday looks like it will get cold again at 3340's covering the coach back to you. all right dave well as talk about a holiday tradition that's been going on since 1914. the town of santa claus, indiana gets 10's of thousands of letters from boys and girls each and every year. >>and this year with covid in the picture, those letters have been especially heartwarming jill while have went to the town where santas elves are hard at work responding to those letters. >>we laugh. we cry we share and actually it's we get more out of it then but we put into it since the 1940's pack cook has been helping respond to kids from all over the world. >>who are hoping they've been well behaved enough to make santa is good list. and some already know where they stand there center. >>i have been good. sometimes
