stepping up to help shelter wildfire victims. but first in the wake of a area bridge tolls going up, we hear from one lawmaker who's trying to figure out where the money's going. and it's beautiful day. good start to the sunday morning for you. great conditions really do have some advisories watches. is

>> it is such a beautiful weekend for the bay area with mostly clear skies, dry conditions, no rain in sight and temperatures a little bit above normal. what a great day to be outside and enjoy

yourself. but there are a few concerns. first of all, there's a flood of alert. a flood advisory in effect. so bay shoreline locations could see some minor flooding this morning. that's along the bay shoreline of the san francisco bay and the san pablo bay and even parts of the north bay as well. and this can concern is not re. obviously, we've had no rain. how could there be flooding? well, it's because high tide high tide is at 9.25. this morning in san francisco and the high tide will be 6.8, 1 feet. so some areas could see some minor flooding. it's not a huge concern but be aware of that because if you're going to a park to parking in a parking lot, some of the roads even could be seeing some minor flooding. so if you see barricades, don't go around them. you don't know necessarily how deep the flooding might be. another concern is a high wind. we have a high wind advisory for the north bay hills, the inland hills. that is for the east bay hills, also for the hills of the eastern santa clara mountains and also for

the santa cruz mountains. and so that's 20 to 30 mile per hour winds with gusting to 50 miles per hour in some of the huppert locations. great day to be outside because the air quality is beautiful. unlike our friends and neighbors and family in southern california with a terrible air quality cause of the fires. we have to rethink air quality. the northeast winds arts, the santa ana winds are pushing all of that smoke away from us. so you see, it's very clear here. but you go down toward southern california in its smoke is so thick unhealthful terrible. but those northerly winds are pushing some of that smoke all the way down to baja, california and all the way out to sea. so for us, it's great. if you're heading out this morning, though, it's a little cooler than yesterday morning, especially in the north bay, down 13 degrees in santa rosa compared to yesterday down 14 for nevada. but it's not cooler everywhere. san francisco up 4 degrees up a couple of degrees. also in half moon bay. so our temperatures right now, if

200 million a year in for us treatment in 2018, too. 2 billion dollars a year. but a lot of it has to happen on the ground as well. done town halls throughout my district where we see not just individual stepping up to harding, but whoa, communities that are stepping up home hardening and to harden their communities because that's really what it's going to take. so, you know, we know something like this could possibly happen. we have to be prepared. and it's really about again, both the prevention side and then early detection and suppression. and that's where that there is also stepping up very early on in my tenure. i did a wildfire tech town hall and a couple of those why for tech companies are very small. the time right now working throughout california nationally, even internationally because we can find these fires much more quickly. and here we have to put them out quickly because when they once they start spreading through and have to

also say it's really through climate change in the weather is getting more extreme and these wildfires spread so quickly now. so we have to get them early because once they spread like happened on central u.s., we've seen what happens is really difficult to get them under control. >> preparation really is so key. thank you so much to state senator josh becker representing santa clara and san mateo counties for your time. and the word on this initiative. appreciate it.

are also plenty of cats available are spayed and neutered microchipped and vaccinated. especially now we knew we wanted to make space rpso we can alleviate our shelter partners down south that are being devastated by the fires and so waiving adoption fees is defeating that barrier. getting those puppies home and making space for animals that are adoptable in shelters down south so they can make space for their fire victims and for owned pets that are to be reunited with their owners. hopefully soon. the san francisco spca plans to head to southern california on monday and also makes another trip the following week. if you're interested in more information, please visit sf spca, dot or still ahead on the kron. 4 morning news. dangerous air quality in southern california. >> we're tracking the latest wildfire conditions. >> the newsom administration unveils the governor's proposed preliminary 322 billion dollar budget for the next fiscal year. capitol

avoid unnecessary outdoor exposure. now there's another problem that we have to deal with because it's not just vegetation causing ash. >> these fires are also burning plastics. so people are also inhaling chemical scare effects from the irish. the irritation long term. we are concerned that more and more people are exposed to this kind of pollution. it can cause long-term inflammation and long-term issues. and i also worry about the elderly and the very young children breathe more air per cubic foot of their bodies, that they are also subject to other issues because they're moms are developing and are more susceptible to viruses as well. children who grow up in areas where there's a lot of pollution and they're constantly exposed to it. that's a concern of ours. >> experts recommend closing windows and doors run air purifiers and wear an n 95 mask. if you must go outdoors smoky conditions. doctors also say if you have lung disease, heart disease or asthma make

>> it's 43 this morning in a live look outside at the golden gate bridge of some beautiful blue skies out there. kathy. >> yeah, stephanie, it's a beautiful day. it sunday in january, be a great day to cross the bridge and have little bit of an adventure. in fact, here's another view of the golden gate bridge. look at that with the ship going underneath the bridge. likely ordered it to come at that exact moment. you could enjoy how gorgeous it is. just very fitting underneath the bridge. but you see the shadows cast on the red headlines from the bridge and it's just a perfect day picture. perfect. okay. there are some concerns as a plot alert and there's some. >> flooding possible. this is for minor coastal flooding. it's not because of rain. we don't have any rain might no clouds, no rain. why is it flooding because of high tide? high tide this morning 9.25.

at san francisco. 6.8, 1 feet and that can cause minor flooding in some of the bay shoreline areas. also some of the north bay. but the san pablo bay and the shoreline around the san francisco bay. there's a possibility of some flooding in maybe some of the park's some of the parking lot. some of the low-lying roads. so if you see barricades, you want to stay away from that. but that will be set to expire at noon. we have another concern, high wind advisory and that is where parts of the north bay. again, this time it's the mountains. this is in the north bay mountains. also the east bay hills, eastern santa clara hills and the santa cruz mountains. so we have 20 to 30 northeast winds that's mile per hour gusting up to 50 mile per hour. northeast winds. and that's a big concern because, of course, that can really be tough to drive through in terms air quality. no concerns. there is just all green gots, which means that the smoke from the southern california fires is not reaching us. instead, it's heading southward because after all, the winds are blowing out of the north out of the northeast. even in southern california, hence the

santa ana winds causing so much damage. but the smoke is going away from us heading down toward baja, california and heading off to sea as well. so we really start to and good in terms of air quality. if you're heading out right now, it's a little cooler than yesterday. if you're up in the north bay specially down 15 degrees compared to yesterday in santa rosa at this hour, down 16 for nevado little warmer in half moon bay. a little cooler through much of the rest of the bay area. here are temperatures right now. 40's 50's for the most part. 39, though, in concord and a lot of areas are seeing offshore winds because of high pressure. that's one of the key ingredients. you see the winds go clockwise around the high and here's the low cut off from the jet stream counter clockwise circulation around that that finals east to streams come together and it tightens up the pressure gradient, which means strong winds. we get strong winds but much stronger winds, of course, in southern

california, which is fueling the fires. all right. so we have continued offshore winds continued high pressure in our forecast. that means no rain. no, not much in the way of clouds in terms of temperatures. this afternoon, we're going peak mainly in the 60's. it will be really a beautiful day, a little bit cooler than yesterday, but still 65 in the mission. if you head along the coastline, could dave go to the beach? 62 degrees in half moon bay. great debut along the bay shoreline. 64 in millbrae and in burlingame is just start to head southward. we still see numbers mainly in the 60's pretty much everywhere. and again, no clouds. it should be beautiful. the santa clara valley, 68 degrees. it was i making up to 70 yesterday. so just these numbers are just a scotia cooler than they were yesterday, but still well above normal. we normally be in 50's this time of year in january. but 66 in concord and quite warm in the north bay, including in petaluma at 66 degrees. so even at the beach, then sun beach, 62 degrees.

and here's your seven-day forecast. it's cookie cutter. it's the same pretty much every day with lots of sunshine cold in the early mornings. and then funny toward next weekend we get maybe a few more clouds. but so far, no rain in the forecast. stephanie. >> all right, kathy, thank you. well, your health this morning in the new year, fitness is usually top of mind for many people, but sometimes it can be a struggle to stick to our resolutions. our health expert karen owoc joins us live in studio this morning with what she's calling her know, fails strategies to help us hold ourselves accountable. care learn. and good morning. all right. so tell us a bit about this. you know, a lot of people. >> who, you know, they make news resolutions. but in most cases, it doesn't really work out by january. the first end of the first week of january, it seems like a lot of us have pretty much. given up on the idea of the resolution. so is it worth trying to make them in the first? it really is. and i really encourage my patients to do it because when you set resolutions, you make yourself. to be honest, it

makes forces you to be honest about your your and generally positive. >> resolutions to be better more fit all that. so it's but the thing is 2 weeks out, usually 30% of the people drop out and said this is good time for us to talk about this. fantastic. that's why we have you here. so what would you say are some of your know fail strategies when it comes to keeping our new year's resolutions? so number one >> is to get better and that's because you you cannot form healthy habits when you're tired because the brain is always looking for ways to reserve energy. and if you're tired, it's going to want to go to those old establish habits. yeah, there easy and but forming a new habit that's gonna take a lot more energy. so you have to get more sleep. what about those of us like myself? we have a bit of a squirrelly brain just constantly thinking of a bunch of different things. runs a

million miles a minute. i you recommend for us to kind of be a little bit more mindful and slow things do need to take some time you probably have 20 windows open on your on your computer. so you're folly. multi test. yes, multi sack testing in that actually, that's not good for the brain. we think that that's probably challenging for the bank, but it's not good for it. so you just have to force yourself distance to slow down and close all those and just focus that might be a good new year's resolution for many folks, actually, especially given have so many of us was the busy lives with hyper productive here bay area, all right. that's a good one. secondly, you also mentioned at the importance of finding a buddy to help with accountability. yes, and maybe wasn't so important and january first, that 2 weeks out. that's when you're most vulnerable. so it's really important find a buddy, someone that could help you be more accountable and to

support you. and we talked about this before about sports. if you join a sports team, you have some built-in buddies. yeah, that's a good and a lot of people have weight loss goals with the new year as well. tell us a bit about that. yeah, i always tell people do not set goals like i'm i want to lose 20 pounds because we're we're looking at behaviors behaviors. you can change. you can't wait. it's not a behavior. so you you could set goals that help you lose weight. but not await goal. and is it is it just add the pressure on when people set that are that specific with their weight loss goals? yeah. well, the other thing is you really can't control how much weight you lose. and and when i talked about weight, i'm talking about changing body composition. that means losing that weight and gaining muscle weight. because it's not about being skinny. it's about being strong. it's exactly. and you

can't tell that from the and another thing you say is important be to be specific about your seven-day gulls. tell us about about seven-day goals are good. a lot of people set goals that are today. they're there to long term. so this is one way to get some instant gratification, which is what most people are looking for. so some stuff. so take those big goals, said them in a set them up into the seven-day gulls and then monitor them all the way up now on because we have just about 90 seconds here. know with so much to talk i'd like to skip ahead to 2 you know, perhaps little further down the list about the importance of monitoring and measuring progress yeah. so that's really important because that >> progress is motivation. and it's real important keep that motivation up and stay positive and optimistic. and so by monitoring, that at the end of the day, at the end of the day, not the end of the week in the month. at the end of the day, take a look at.

>> how how close did i come to achieving my goal and don't be of perfection. us. this is not an all or one thing. how close did i get to it? and if i did have a little setback, how can i fix it tomorrow? so you really are progressing each day? yes. and then, of course, the importance of celebrating our daily achievements. yes, so rewards the brain likes rewards. >> it's going to go for the habits that that are worth. doing again. so it's looking for some reward and non food reward. so and and you want to reward yourself right after you do that. the task. so it's just like training a dog. not going to say, hey, you can to treat at the end of the week. yeah, you kind get instinct right away. all right. very good. a health expert karen owoc with some great ideas and how we can keep ourselves accountable. thank you so much. very welcome. okay. happy new year. by the way, will be right back. and b and

b is adding more free emergency housing for the thousands of wildfire victims. the company says its already offered 6500 people places to stay including evacuees to first responders, victims needing housing can fill out an airbnb intake form and those who want to help and offer housing either free or at a discount. people can also nominate a rather donate to air bnb. all of the money donated will go towards this housing initiative. and a reminder our parent company nexstar is partnering with the red cross to raise money for wildfire victims in southern

rage on. >> a community picking up the pieces as fire crews worked to get the flames. it controls. is it 9? breaking this morning? did you feel it? an earthquake hits the bay area. >> the usgs says a 3.9 magnitude quake just struck in the area of concord. and we are working to get more details around this and we'll update you very shortly on that. but in the meantime, thanks so much for continuing to stay with us here on the kron. 4 morning news. lets send things over to meteorologist kathy trafton. >> here's a fun fact. california experiences over 3,000 earthquakes a year. most of them are too small for us to feel. you don't have to be over 3 or so to be able to actually feel the earthquake. this one was in the east bay. i didn't feel it. i don't know if you did, but maybe if you're in the east bay, maybe

it did. but in the meantime, we have maybe 500 a year that people can feel. so it's kind of interesting, beautiful view from the berkeley hills looking toward the bay crystal clear skies, gorgeous conditions here. a very different scene, as you well know, in southern california as a santa ana winds and dry vegetation are fueling tremendous fires. no wonder he's a flag warning still in effect, they're high fire warnings and fire weather and advisories and warnings throughout much of southern california. and this, you know, will continue these news warnings and watches will continue generally through at least wednesday. there's a lot of smoke very unhealthy. terrible particulate matter. no one wants to breathe that could cause serious health problems. the winds are out of the northeast. santa ana winds, of course, and they're pushing the winds there for away from us, heading out to sea in some cases heading toward the baja peninsula and others. so that's a concern.

it is so dry in southern california after a couple of years of above average rainfall, they had some atmospheric rivers and that helped the vegetation to grow. and then when the drought hits the vegetation triples and eyes and becomes fuel. and that is partly what is fueling these fires that are experiencing right now in los angeles and ventura counties. red flag warning then through wednesday, that's for southern california. not for us. gusty offshore winds. we have offshore winds, but there gusts are much higher to 60 to 70 mile per hour gusts in southern california. it's very dry air down in the fire zone. low relative humidity, 10 to 15%. and sometimes overnight you get a recovery, you get a rebound to get more humidity, but poor overnight humidity recoveries for southern california for us here in the bay area. it's great. we got some minor coastal flooding due to high tides which peaked at 9.25. in san francisco, 6.8, 1 feet and will have some minor coastal flooding possibly around the bay

shorelines of san francisco and san pablo bay. there's a wind advisory in effect only until 10 o'clock this morning gusting to maybe 15 miles an hour, maybe in some of the north bay interior mountains and some of the mountains around the bay area. so here's the area of the flood alert, which is in effect until noon as the flood advisory goes for the san pablo bay shoreline, parts of the north bay as well. and then right there, right along the san francisco based or land, some of the areas there could experience some minor flooding may be in the pocket parks and parking lots. things like that for us as a high wind advisories about to expire. but we continue to see the north northeast winds that we still have these diablo winds. we call them up here sometimes and they're off shore and they're dry. speaking of dry precipitation outlook, not so good. we could use some rain across all of california and there's none in sight to probably the end of the month. stephanie. all right, kathy, thank continuing coverage on the catastrophe in southern california. >> the number of people killed in the palisades and eaton fires is now up to 16. the la

it's the tides high tide 9.25. this morning as high tide, san francisco, 6.8, one feet. and that's just enough to trigger this advisory in effect until noon. that's for parts of the north bay and also for areas along the bay shorelines, not only of the san francisco bay, but also the san pablo bay. and so it's not a big flooding concern. but, you know, if you're going to the park, you're trying to park in a parking lot, you just might get some flood there. so keep an eye out. would be some barricades are barriers, but you might just see the flood ok about that high wind warning. it's set to expire. is it flood actually a wind advisory set to expire today about mid mid morning. and this is for the north bay hills. so if you're up in the north bay hills of the east bay hills, the east, san jose santa clara hills or the santa cruz mountains. that advisory is in effect just rip not too much longer. actually, but the gusts of winds are still going to be with us. even if the advisories allowed to expire. look at these areas of orange

and red and magenta. that's where the strongest winds are. and you can see throughout the day it starts to give away a little bit and lessen relax, especially by long the coastal zones. and then overnight, it looks pretty calm. and then all of a sudden the wee hours of the morning we're it comes again. those are really strong winds starting up again santa rosa. 36 miles per hour. that's the dry direction. that's the northeast direction. that is the diablo wind direction. so triggers again. strong winds again tomorrow morning, 30, 40 mile per hour gusts. i would not be surprised to see another advisory triggered in the meantime, air quality is just beautiful for your sunday. if you head out anywhere across the bay area, you'll get a good air quality, not in southern california with all of the fires. temperature wise. we're a lot cooler than yesterday and some areas so far, 10 degrees cooler in santa rosa down 14 in novato as you might want to grab an extra jacket. temperatures outside right now, mainly in the 50 some areas still linger into the 40's and even a few

when strikes, we pull together. and so i started rallying individuals, companies, even sports teams, all 7 of our bay area sports teams are have stepped up and are helping and providing support for the fire victims down in los angeles. so it's just all-hands-on-deck situation. and you know, i think it's wonderful. we should bay area is stepping up for southern california. >> yeah. thank you so much for that context there, senator. now, how much are you looking to race? >> but because quite large effort is they said we don't have a specific target in mind. it's just really doing everything we can all hands on deck. 4 southern california, but i think ultimately will raise millions of dollars on for the fire victims. time and again, this is just for people immediate needs right now. i'm a on will see the state stepped in, course, as well.

resources and we magically increase funding for cal fire from 2.8 billion to 3.7 billion. we went from about 200 million a year in for us treatment in 2018, too. 2 billion dollars a year. but a lot of it has to happen on the ground as well. done town halls throughout my district where we see not just individual stepping up to do home hardening, but whoa, communities that are stepping up to do home hardening and to harden their communities because that's really what it's going to take. so, you know, we know something like this could possibly happen and we have to prepared. and it's really about again, both the prevention side and then early detection and suppression. and that's where that there is also that we stepping up very early on in my tenure. i did a wildfire tech town hall and a couple of those why for tech companies were very small. the time right now working throughout california nationally, even internationally because we can

find these fires much more quickly. and here we have to put them out quickly because when they once they start spreading through and and have to also say it's really through climate change. the weather is getting more extreme and these wildfires spread so quickly now. so we have to get them early because once they spread like happened on soon us, we've seen what happens is really difficult to get them under control. >> preparation really is so key. thank you so much to state senator josh becker representing santa clara and san mateo counties for your time. and the word on this initiative. we appreciate it.
