the chair of the ucsf department of medicine. doctor bob wachter cause the omicron variant. another covid curve ball. he suspects that these covid cases are going to climb soon. and fast and this comes as health officials in napa, sonoma and marin counties have all confirmed their first case of the omicron variant officials say that the patients in sonoma and marin counties recently traveled out of state napa county officials did not share any details about their positive case. and at this time, no cases have been detected in contra. costa san mateo and solano counties. now local health experts predict the omicron variant will add to the surge of cases after the holidays and with the vaccines at hand, more people will be gathering this year. however, one health officer, one local health officer says that you can do so safely with these tips. >> does the rest of it spread to the air. so we want to make sure that we're covering faces in indoor public if you're

hosting a gathering over the holidays. you know, limit that to people who are fully vaccinated if possible have that gathering outside the most important message though, is really to obtain the protection of the vaccine. >> public health officers representing each bay area county put out a joint statement. they are urging everyone to out. everyone eligible to get vaccinated and if enough time has passed to get a booster shot as well. now the cdc is recommending people get pfizer's or moderna's vaccine over the johnson and johnson vaccine that recommendation comes after new data shows that the vaccine is linked to complications like rare blood clots. however, health experts say that that one dose vaccine is still better. then nothing at all. well, back to you. alright camila, thank you. >> for that live report. i do want to reiterate doctor wachter says that all signs do point to most omicron cases being mild. he also says he would travel for christmas

definitely bundle up grab a beanie. maybe some clubs even because it's really cold out there. dave's got a little bit more detail. we're going to see some sun. a pretty cold yeah. and now we want how much the way of winds. that's kind of nice good morning, we'll see temperatures kind of struggle to get out there to the 50's. kuz. not all locations will see it. >> part of the reason for this is there some fog around the delta. that's a kind of slowing the progress that will see for highs today. but at least the coast, we're seeing a lot of sunshine that's what's going on in half moon bay there you can see the sun appearing on through, but it is cold actually kind of mild and half moon bay this morning compared to everybody else. that's the climate control from the ocean. so that's why the winter months. it helps us out a bit. there's solano county there in the dense fog advisory from the sacramento office coming in. the national weather service. that is until 11 o'clock. it's very apparent why you can see it takes it. the longest clear out looks like it doesn't happen until really noon. we're getting there close to it. so you folks in contra, costa county. we'll share in some of this with the overcast or the fog

clouds lingering upstream. not much to interfere with us of the storm track is to the north. that will change later in the next week. however, winds not doing much at all either. they're mostly kind of offshore weekly. they will pick up a bit into sunday night temperature progress to look at this, though. 30's and 40's across the region right now. even san francisco only at 42 along with hayward fremont, a chilly 34 and 34 also a place like santa rosa 33 for napa breaking today down for you that really underscores at 9 o'clock there that cloudiness is the fog around the delta elsewhere. basically mostly sunny and temperatures. you can see how sluggish they are just a kind of underscore some areas will not reach 50 today because are negotiating through some of this fog coming up in a bit. we'll take a look at the longer range forecast models for you. and of course that for zone one as well. no. well, thanks, dave. >> reports of stolen packages taken right off of doorsteps all across the nation. yep. it's that time of year for those porch security systems and cameras are catching many

thieves in the act but the technology doesn't always stop the crimes from happening. markie. martin has a closer look at just how common these parts pirates are and what you can do to keep your packages safe. >> it's a crime that exploded packages snatched from porches in broad daylight just as fast as they were delivered. porch big and small striking just as more and more of us do our pandemic shopping online. but this time of year is a hot time for porch pirates. they're patrolling. just like we officer jesse mitten is with the arlington police department earlier this year. his team arrested this man who investigators say went on a monthslong pardons free across north texas taking what he wanted and dumping what he didn't. the suspect apparently was dumping most of the packages in ditch or an alley or something like that. some

was still in the package if he didn't want it or it might just be the empty box, you know, trying to get rid of that part of the evidence, i guess. >> and this guy isn't alone. according to our brand-new newsnation poll conducted by decision desk hq almost 17% of people told us they had a package stolen. another 30% said they knew someone who had risking it all for mystery boxes that often times don't amount to much a pair of boxer briefs and a pair of socks with the popular or not. we hopped an officer mittens patrol car. he took us 4 right along. looking for vulnerable house is right there on the front porch. looks like 2 packages, one stacked on top of each other. and that's just right for the taking. i mean, like you're saying short front >> it's not going to take much for somebody that just grab and go write a different study by >> showed that in the last year, 200, 10 million packages

disappeared and that more than 50% of them were from amazon followed by fedex and usps and with supply chain issues cutting costs. many retailers are now shipping label boxes witho t an additional exterior box giving pirates a treasure map to exactly what's inside. i don't think people who do porch pirates ii that's the only thing they do. i think somebody might have a drug habit. they're trying to support or find other ways to make money for whatever it is i want to buy and use it as a ways to means, i guess. but it's really like i just want to be a grinch in and watch you not have yeah, it's a fueling something i think that would be yeah. the message police are trying to get out is simple. the less time your delivery sits outside the less opportunity there is for someone to take advantage sign up for delivery notifications. so, you know exactly when a shipment has arrived. think about having order sent to your workplace or a neighbor whose home more often. invest

in a surveillance system or door cameras. you can catch criminals in action and download neighborhood apps like next door. so you can communicate with neighbors who can alert or help you when pirates strike. it's a crime of opportunity. >> and they're hoping to hit the lotto. they're looking for that reward. and that's a problem, too, is because if they get something like that, it just encourages them to do it more so anything we can do to prevent them from being successful. it's better for us and for your package. that was markie. martin reporting a recent safewise study has found san francisco is the second worst metro city for package thefts. >> in the united states. the worst city is denver. coming up here on kron 4 morning news google not staying behind, but the real question is are you team apple or team android. we're going to tell you more. >> about their new smartphone, the pixel 6 pro which they say
