movement not another much the way variety and for highs we're not going to get much higher than this middle to lower 50's across most of the real estate 48 up there to santa rosa, 54 going on for san francisco 52 along with san jose and oakland, 56 handing it back over to future cast for their we open up nice to get some sun in here sure the late afternoon you can see we're pretty clear some scattered clouds overnight and they try to thicken up here but they remained pretty constant up here in the north bay better clearing in the peninsula in the south bay. but another dash of maybe a couple rain showers across the peripherals of the bay area of tickets solano county looks like a little dose there too. speaking of tahoe, we're going to revisit some snow on monday looks like clearing up for tuesday. and it looks like rain and snow coming our way towards the end of the week as well let's get the longer range forecast for you clear on out to start, but there we go monday the first hit happening here and then we take little breather in by the end of the week into thursday looks like another hit and the way yet yet another hit it

looks like into the weekend, although not as potent as its predecessors with that nice hit looks like happens towards the end of the week now as i said earlier not a lot of variety with temperatures here we're already in the middle to lower 50 some of the at 10 degrees to that partially because we're going to get great clearing. we'll get some 60 san francisco for today daly city matching up to suffolk 56 east bay shoreline to the north will do the upper meanwhile from mountain view and in the south bay most readings will be in the lower 60's at that most gatos and 6064 cupertino east bay shoreline to the south around 60 as we also have an tri valley, typical winter months like this we have a lot of similarity with temperatures across the topography 62 for walnut creek berkeley, a 59 play chilly spot at 57 with 64 for fairfield 61 for napa in 61 coming in for santa rosa with lower 60's heading down south that all important 7 day forecast comes in like this

this means you are still protected and the other person is protected and that is actually the circumstances by which people should be ucsf infectious disease specialist doctor monica gandhi says a tiered approach is really what's best. >>she says there's still a slight chance, those vaccinated can carry the virus and pass it on to those who've not been vaccinated that's why the recommendations change when the vaccinated are together with the unvaccinated for now it's still pretty to say that the facts needed around the unvaccinated should mask and distance is supposed to leave yemen and probably take small steps getting there. >>u c berkeley infectious disease specialist doctor john swartzberg is choosing to take a more conservative approach right when i get together with friends. i prefer being together with some outside with masks >>if they're vaccinated and unvaccinated are fully vaccinated i would probably feels comfortable him. outside without masks what i feel

for open 52 san francisco got 50's up to the north bay santa rosa hasn't moved 48 because they all this cloud cover overnight. we didn't get a lot of cooling a lot of service moisture and all that so it produced a lot of fog and kept those temperatures a little bit upwards now going forward into the fund the forecast period we see the skies open up a bit for this afternoon noting some cloud cover still lingering then tomorrow we're kind of a mixture of clouds and sun focusing on the thickness up north okay and a couple rain bands of some showers on sunday night try to sneak downward but the really big show will be into monday looks like now the winds are still going to be with us today whipping in some locations in the 30's, you'll notice early for woday into the early afternoon. so even those skies will open up a bit we'll still have those winds. not as windy into tomorrow that will still remain out of the northwest a westerly direction as well looks like with all of that now is the breakdown with the fog and as mentioned earlier, here's the east bay shoreline. early fog today, clouds a few showers partial afternoon clearing tomorrow, variable clouds

at 10:00am for a rare saturday session each side will have 2 hours to give their closing arguments and then if no witnesses are called the senators will take a final vote. >>it is constitutional cancel culture in less than 3 hours former president donald trump's legal team argued their case insisting trump did not incite the insurrection at the capitol on january 6th mister trump. >>was not in any way shape or form instructing these people to fight or to use physical violence instead trump's lawyers argued the house impeachment managers twisted the president's words and manipulated evidence i know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building. >>to peacefully end patriotically make your voices heard these selectively edited the president's words over and over again friday evening senators asked questions of both legal teams republican senators mitt romney susan collins and lisa murkowski

rearview mirror and part of that is that they want to go gently into that fair when on a vote tomorrow because they're worried about getting primary from the right. but also this means that donald trump while he will be the only president ever impeached twice that probably does put a nail in his political coffin so to speak it's going to be very difficult for him to move forward as a nominee for 2024 and many republicans privately are quite happy about that. >>another developing story we are following today, organizers behind the effort to recall governor newsome claim they've collected the number of signatures needed to get a special election on the ballot. that's one and a half million signatures. the claim though still needs to be verified by the secretary of state's office before a recall election can actually become official the group plans to continue gathering signatures up until the mid march deadline. their goal is to get one 0.8 million petitions in order to account for a potential rejection rate of roughly 25% during the verification process marty. >>white house press secretary

tj ducklo has been suspended for a week without pay after he allegedly threatened to journalists and trying to suppress a story about his relationship with another reporter, white house press secretary jen psaki called his conduct quote completely unacceptable. >>has apologized to the reporter apologized to the reporter. quite shortly after the comments were made i just want to be clear that is was not about an issue related to the white house or white house policy or anything along those lines. he's the first to acknowledge this is not the standard of behavior set out by the president. nor is that the standard behavior set by me and i'm his direct supervisor. >>when ducklo returns to work he will no longer be assigned to work with any reporters at politico. and still ahead on the kron 4 morning news, the warriors looking to make it 3 wins in a row for the first time this season, kate rooney joins us with a preview of tonight's matchup against kd and the nets that's coming up.

desire to return to indoor worship services but covid-19 cases remain high and indoor gatherings pose a serious health risk at this time. we are grateful for the leadership of the vast majority of religious institutions. they have continued to safely worship outdoors or online bethel believes it has shown the way to a safe return to indoor worship but will abide by the order nonetheless hoping for a larger role in the conversation going forward, you know we've always said. give us the opportunity to show you that we can do this safely and meat inside and we'll do it. and we felt like we had that and we did it and we were ready and then they said no you can't do it may pull the plug on it >>that was pretty that was pretty frustrating is san jose rob fladeboe kron 4 news. >>and the sun is coming out a little bit as we can see the live shot coming into the bay bridge toll plaza will keep some scattered clouds in there in the afternoon just for good measure on the breezy side expected for today as well look at the rest of your

temperature movement today will keep it in the lower 60's for ultimate high. so here's a clear patch that develops not entirely though they'll be some leftover clouds just a touch getting into sunday, not too bad, but you can see the scattered clouds come in go come and go late in the day, maybe some showers try to redevelop there after sunset meanwhile, even though we do see the sun coming out today, a strong north westerly wind with those numbers in the 20's and even some lower 30's in place so today but on the windy side but then tomorrow we'll go ahead and call it kind of breezy and that does cover some of those valleys off towards the east bay. so for today we have early fog almost taken care of that clouds and a few showers partial afternoon. clearing of course, not everybody all the same time tomorrow, some variable clouds remain they appear to be the most stronger strongest up in the north bay and mild for winter standards in the 60's next week, those a set of unsettled weather pattern you got it rain on monday sunny for midweek and then some showers come in thursday people clean up a bit by friday, but they'll be more

as we head into next weekend so the wet season is in play 60 san francisco also for san jose 61 for oakland again everybody is looking for afternoon clearing not a lot of mercury movement on the big map here lower 60's at that course we'll take a closer inspector that the 4 zone forecast marty in the well sounds good dave thanks let's get to national news this morning. there's avert a verdict in former president donald trump's second impeachment trial. >>could come as early as today that's right in a rare move this morning the senate actually voted to call in witnesses. >>during the trial washington correspondent anna wiernicki is in washington with more. >>it is constitutional cancel culture in less than 3 hours former president donald trump's legal team argued their case insisting trump did not incite the insurrection at the capitol on january 6th mister trump. >>was not in any way shape or form instructing these people to fight or to use physical violence trump's lawyers

argued the house impeachment managers twisted the president's words and manipulated evidence i know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building. >>to peacefully end patriotically make your voices heard these selectively edited the president's words over and over again friday evening senators asked questions of both legal teams republican senators mitt romney susan collins and lisa murkowski asked when the president knew the capital was breached and if he knew vice president mike pence was in danger when he sent out a disparaging tweet minutes after pence was evacuated from the senate floor you couldn't turn on the television can turn on the radio without hearing about this and also hearing about the vice president the answers now. >>at no point was the president informed the vice president was in any danger. >>romney collins and murkowski are just a few of the republican senators to say they're still undecided but keep in mind a minimum of 17 republicans would have to join

all democrats in order to convict the former president in washington, i'm anna wiernicki back to you. >>and political analysts say that even those is there's a strong possibility that the former president will not be convicted his second impeachment could still do some damage to his legacy. that's right state university's david mchugh and gave us his thoughts on how this might impact the former president. >>republicans are trying to but donald trump in their rearview mirror and part of that is that they want to go gently into that fair wind on a vote tomorrow because they're worried about getting primary from the right. but also this means that donald trump while he will be the only president ever impeached twice that probably does put a nail in his political coffin so to speak it's going to be very difficult for him to move forward as a nominee for 2024 and many republicans privately are quite happy about that. >>back here at home another developing story. we're following organizers behind the effort to recall governor newsome claim they've collected the number of signatures needed to get a special election on the ballot
