congress does not work out a deal by the deadline? [music] >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it's friday december 20th. let's check in with steve paulson for the weather today. and when the rain is moving in. >> i'm thawing out after yesterday. cold temp was very cold. 48 degrees yesterday. amazingly cold. now some locations hit the 60s. it will be that way again today. there's some fog. most of it, though, looks to be east. but if you're on the peninsula or south south bay, there could be some patchy fog, but the bulk of it looks to be east here. 30s and 40s on the temps if you're stuck in that fog. man oh man. but clouds are increasing, so we'll have a mostly cloudy day. then get ready for rain. it's on its way starting saturday and there will be multiple systems taking us in probably the rest of the month.

out to the new year is kind of the way it's looking here. what's new? most of it. the heaviest rain will be north marin county north. so fog, low clouds, mostly cloudy. cool. there is a roaring east wind for some, so just temperatures 50 to. if you get the sun. low 60s. all right. sal is here. happy friday, my friend. >> friday. i love the way that sounds. thank you steve. good morning to you at home. if you are driving, we have a nice looking commute so far. richmond bridge, maybe 1 or 2 cars coming through just the way we like it. if you have to get on the road early, you have that advantage. bay bridge the same. we're starting to get closer to christmas, and i think we're going to start seeing some of these commutes start getting lighter, especially next week and maybe even today at 501. let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you sal. today, california health officials will give an update on efforts to contain the spread of bird flu. it comes just a day after the governor declared a state of emergency. ktvu sally rasmus

joins us now live with the details. ali. pam. >> the spread of bird flu among dairy cows in california is what the governor's office says prompted that emergency declaration this week. now, this morning, representatives from the california department of health are expected to give more details about what exactly that emergency declaration means and what they plan to do to help dairy farmers curb the spread of the virus. there are about 645 dairy cow herds in california that have had positive cases of bird flu, one of the highest infection rates among cattle of any state in the u.s. and so far, 34 people in california have tested positive for bird flu this year. all of them were in close contact with either cattle or poultry. >> the dairy outbreak started from wild waterfowl, interfacing with with domesticated dairy cows in texas and spread from there. so we are in the thick of it right now. there are 6 million waterfowl in the central valley of california, and there's a lot of birds that are

carrying this virus. >> maurice pitesky is a veterinarian and epidemiologist at uc davis. he says there is growing concern about the virus making the leap to other types of domestic animals and possibly mutating. just this week, the los angeles health department announced that three domestic cats tested positive for bird flu. two of them died. veterinarians also say people who have backyard chickens could also be at risk of contracting the virus. they should wear rubber gloves, boots and take other precautions, even surgical masks, when they handle their backyard flock. earlier this week, a 65 year old man in louisiana became the first known severe case of bird flu in the u.s. this year, he was hospitalized in critical condition. authorities say they believe he was exposed after coming into contact with some infected chickens in his backyard flock. pam, back to you. >> thank you. ali. well, egg prices here in the u.s. are rising again, thanks in part to the bird flu. industry analysts are blaming the strong demand for eggs during the holidays and

reduced supply due to the bird flu for the higher cost. the manager of one bakery tells us nearly all of the products he sells has eggs, from cakes to pastries and even some of the frosting. he recently found a new egg distributor to try to get some better deals. >> you know, doing, going over the orders and everything and inventory. and then all of a sudden it just seemed very drastic. the changes in pricing and everything. and then, you know, trying to, you know, communicate to the customers, you know, why we were having to raise prices. >> shoppers are feeling it at the grocery store as well. overall, grocery prices increased about a half a percentage point last month, but eggs were up more than 8%, according to federal data. on average, a dozen large eggs cost about $3.65. that's up from $2.14 last year. >> time now 504. there may be a partial government shutdown tonight, after lawmakers in the house rejected the new plan proposed by president elect

donald trump to fund the federal government. the spending package that was voted down by the house would have raised the nation's debt ceiling for the next two years. democrats rejected that part of the bill. they say trump wanted to extend tax cuts for the richest americans. democrats also blamed elon musk, an ally of trump, for killing an earlier bipartisan bill. >> the musk, johnson proposal is not serious. it's laughable. extreme maga republicans are driving us to a government shutdown. >> this keeps the government open. what my friends want to do by voting no is effectively to shut it down. >> now, 38 republicans joined democrats in rejecting this latest bill. many republicans did not want to raise the government's borrowing limit. >> dozens of people packed a town hall meeting in half moon bay to discuss the tsunami warning that was issued earlier this month. now, the warning

from the oregon border to santa cruz county followed a 7.0 earthquake that hit off the coast of humboldt county. san mateo county ordered people living near the coast to move to higher ground immediately. county leaders say that order led to confusion among many people living in low lying areas of half moon bay and pacifica. >> many people didn't know where the low lying areas were that they were supposed to leave, and what they saw around them were individuals leaving, which led to panic because they didn't have the information to know that where they were was safe. and so one of the things the county and part of that was caused because the state website crashed, the tsunami warning was canceled just about an hour after it was issued. >> but county leaders say it highlighted the need to be better prepared. there could soon be tsunami drills in addition to earthquake drills. >> time now 506. the port of oakland is being sued by an environmental group over plans to expand at the oakland airport. the plans include a new terminal and improvements to parking areas and international

arrivals. the lawsuit, filed by communities for a better environment, claims the environmental impact report understates the true impact of the expansion on air quality, noise and traffic. and it calls for a new environmental study. the port of oakland released a statement about this, saying the project will modernize the airport's facilities to meet the region's travel needs. and that, quote, the final environmental impact report, was certified by a unanimous vote by the oakland board of port commissioners on november 21st of this year. the eir is a product of years of careful study, community outreach, and careful deliberation preceding the november vote. >> all right. dense fog for some, but most of it is east. if you're solano county, contra costa county, also around the delta, carquinez strait. some of the bridges. there are some roaring wind over some of the bridges. so just keep that in mind. that goes until 11:00. it

does not include peninsula or south bay, although they are reduced visibility today much more so than yesterday. so we'll keep an eye on that. but a lot of the bases have lifted a little bit. so there's more just pockets of it, but something to watch. again if you if you're in that fog. man oh man. it's just tough to warm up. even the santa clara valley san martin reporting three quarters of a mile visibility. so i think there'll be a little bit more today, but not widespread. look at the east wind. davis point east at 25mph. east in the oakland berkeley hills, east in the city. and the napa airport is just rocking and rolling here east almost to 30mph. so american canyon, probably cordelia hiddenbrooke red top road around there, jamison canyon. if you're like, is that the wind? probably, yeah. 40s on the temps, a few 30s, but a lot of 40s here. and clouds are beginning to make a move. 40s, 30s, 40s and 50s. 53 point reyes, bolinas 51, middletown 37. but cloud cover is beginning

to come in, so i don't think these lows will get that much colder. 19 and 25 for truckee and south lake tahoe. 25 also in reno. high clouds are knocking on the door. come on in. well, they'll get there throughout the morning and into the afternoon. that will be more show than go than the next system is on the way for tomorrow. this will be the first of probably many taking us out to, i think, the new year and nothing new here. most of it again about marin county. san pablo bay north looks to be the line not only tomorrow, but again most of next week. there could be some hefty totals, especially sonoma county north. over the next. i'd say 10 to 14 days with friday on my mind. if you're in the fog, it's cold, clear for some, but cold sun then clouds. there is an east wind anywhere from upper 40s to near 50 to around 6364 icu. >> thank you. time is 509. the suspect in the killing of the ceo of unitedhealthcare, brian thompson, is now in new york. you have the details on his first appearance in federal court.

512. luigi mangione, the man accused of shooting and killing

the ceo of united health care, is facing four new federal charges, including murder. mangione was flown from pennsylvania to new york to make his first appearance in federal court. he was surrounded by dozens of heavily armed law enforcement officers. now, the federal indictment included a new photo of the gun mangione allegedly used in the killing of brian thompson. >> we're going to respectfully decline to make any comment at this time, but mr. mangione appreciates everyone's support. thank you so much. >> now, the murder charge against mangione carries the possibility of the death penalty if he's convicted. federal prosecutors haven't said if they will seek that punishment. well, a man in alameda has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of a two year old boy in washington state. that shooting occurred in april at an ihop restaurant parking lot south of seattle. 31 year old jerome lewis was arrested. he

was living in housing for the homeless owned by the city of alameda. investigators say lewis drove the getaway car after the shooting. authorities say the suspected gunman, who was 16 years old at the time, was going after the child's father but shot his son instead. well, san francisco zoo demanding a retraction of a city report that criticized the zoo's conditions. according to the chronicle, the zoo's directors responded to the report at a joint zoo committee hearing yesterday. officials said their zoo is safe when all of the guidelines are followed. they added that all zoos and animal sanctuaries have accidents because of human error. the zoo says donations, attendance and the zoo's image have taken hits since that report came out in october. >> well, detroit has been known as motor city, but california has become the hub for the new motor, the ev. and one company

is bringing vintage and nostalgia to the electric cars. and they are made in the bay. kindred motor works is taking something old and turning it into something new. >> one of the things about these cars, they're these classic cars are beautiful, but they're unreliable. and the result is they're in the garage all the time. you know, they're not driven. >> so he set out to not just restore the car in a traditional sense, but to rebuild and reimagine a better car. >> to do that, you need to modernize it, right? so that's adding disc brakes so that it stops safely adding seatbelts, you know, adding headrests, a great sound system, even simple things like cup holders, things these old cars didn't have when they were new. >> things we take for granted. >> it's a fun part of the job. probably the best job here is design, which is curating. what do we keep and what do we modernize? >> they have an entire design team dedicated to blending

nostalgia with new technology. >> it looks like an analog knob, but really it changes the digital sound of our our stereo or our infotainment center, or where it's our stick shift that once used to control a manual gearbox, now controls just the drive state of our electric motors. i really enjoy being able to give that feedback to the engineers and to the design team. what's working and what's not working. >> he may call it feedback, but it also means he gets to drive around in some pretty cool cars. >> we'll take them on a weekend trip. i'll put the dogs in the back, we'll go to the beach. and, you know, not only do i get to validate the physical or technical components of the vehicle, but you get to validate the way that people look at it. when you're out driving around, going through town, people always come up and ask you, you know, what the vehicle is, and you tell them it's a restoration. but then again, you tell them it's an electric restoration and that really just blows their mind.

>> why electric? >> there's a long history of putting new engines in old cars, and the newest engine is electric. the reality is, it's these actually are lower maintenance. electric cars are lower maintenance. they're more reliable, they're better performing. and oh, by the way, they're sustainable as well. >> production started at the beginning of 2024, building just one car a month. they've expanded to six a month. they have four models the bronco, electric bronco, the electric pickup truck. and soon the vw bus. >> that vehicle just puts a smile on people's faces, no matter if it's an ev conversion or not. >> he says there's a strong connection between the people who love these cars, and it's all in the name. >> kindred is really about a lot of stories, you know? and that word kindred is a it's an underused but positive word, and it harkens back to what we do, which is the modern day version of this older car. it's like a

kindred spirit of those older cars. >> that kindred spirit extends to the customers who can actually come in and help build their car. >> what we offer is the build days with the customer, customer workdays. and you can come in and you can get on to the general assembly line and jump right into the stage of what your car is being built, and actually get in there and turn wrenches and work with the general assembly technicians on that specific part of the build that day. >> the rebuilding and modernizing of these classic cars is not cheap and reflected in the price. just about $200,000. >> the price tag of the vehicle is a little unattainable for most, but when you see the legwork in the development, the design, the engineering, and then you know when you're actually putting the components on the cars, you're testing new items, you're making sure that they work, you're making sure that they're safe. the hours is just countless, countless numbers of hours. and when it's all said and done, i think we're

actually offering a really competitive price and something that isn't even out there. >> it's a lot of effort for every model. we bring in one model, and we spend a couple million dollars tearing it down, building it up, tearing it down until it's perfect. >> do you envision yourself like a tesla factory and really mass producing? >> never. we really could not be more different than that. tesla and the other manufacturers are robots. there's no craftsmanship. this is much more about really working on that car as an individual car with your hands. >> the work and craftsmanship actually started with restoring the vintage building they use on mare island. >> we're just happy to be here and just be part of such a growing company, be part of the bay area culture, and we're here for the long run. >> absolutely gorgeous cars. so fun. and he said one of the things that's down the road is the car that will be very popular in california. it's the wagoneer, also known in surf

towns as the woody. my sister is like, i want one. he says there's plenty of room for batteries. a lot of nostalgia. you know, they don't pass emissions, but that's more cars down the road. >> so you had fun. >> it was very fun. yes. beautiful. >> very fun. >> on mare island, there, on mare island. making all of them right there. >> very nice. bravo. so, dave and i, our cars out in the parking lot. >> it's right out through that door. cars for everyone. >> you get a car good enough for brock purdy? good enough for us. all right. napa airport. i mean, if you're out anywhere near that area. look at that. almost 30 miles an hour. my goodness. there is an east breeze. wind for some. and if you're in that wind and you have that fog, it's just darn cold. i mean, it's one of those days yesterday where you just didn't get out of the upper 40s for some mainly 40s on the temps, not only. and then there's some patchy, patchy fog showing up on the peninsula in south bay this morning where there was none yesterday. 40s here. east. look at that. that's

all because of that low cloud deck. so everyone's really close. not only is it low clouds, but we'll start to get high clouds as well. so it will be a mostly cloudy day. you know i mentioned maybe it could be a few sprinkles or light showers, but really we're waiting for the system to come in late tonight. tomorrow. and there it is. and without a doubt it favors marin county, san pablo bay north. but everybody should get in on some rain. the key is for next week. i mean, there'll be some late sunday, monday, tuesday, next thursday could be a big system. and again, if santa rosa gets, you know, almost three, that's six in the russian river. so we'll need to keep an eye on things going forward here over the next ten days or so. friday on my mind, if you're in the fog, it's cold. clear for some, but still cold sun. very briefly, then clouds. so mostly cloudy day. mid upper 40s 50s for some, especially eastern solano, contra costa county. if you can get enough sun you get about 6263. but it looks like a wet pattern starts tomorrow for many day. >> all right steve, thank you. time is 521. during the holidays, some people think about changing their weight loss

routine. we'll tell you why. doctors say that may not be the best idea. and 49ers quarterback brock purdy showing some love for his offensive line, the gifts he bought for them that - i had health insurance before. (discouraged) so expensive. i mean, i'm helping my mom out, i don't have that kinda cash. - ugh, i know. but you can get financial help now through covered california.

it's totally affordable. you'd be surprised. they've got this calculator thing that shows how much you'll pay. - for real? - yeah! what are you doing not having health insurance, man? - hey, i know, i know... - here, let me show you... - we all have questions. covered california has answers and can find a health plan that's right for you. covered california. this way to health insurance. it is inevitable. chloe! hey dad. they will grow up. [cheering] silly face, ready? discover who they are. [playing music] what they want from this world.

and how they will make it better. and while parenting has changed, how much you care has not. that's why instagram is introducing teen accounts. automatic protections for who can contact them and the content they can see. ♪ now. 524 if you're using medications when you change, your dosage can be really important because your body needs some time to adjust during

the rest of this holiday season. doctors say you should keep taking weight management medication if you're on it. there's a new survey out. it says 1 in 6 americans who take weight loss and diabetes medications, like ozempic plan to take a break during the holidays so they can really enjoy holiday foods like cookies and sweets. but doctors warn it's too late to stop and you could have some bad side effects. >> the danger is we wait too long when you restart. a lot of people can have really bad side effects with it. the medication alone doesn't work. it's a multi approach. lifestyle change, nutrition activities, so forth. >> now if you've already paused taking your medicine, doctors say start retaking them as soon as you can. taking too long of a break could also counter the effects of weight loss medication and lead to weight gain, mood changes, digestive problems, and more. and of

course, just talk to your doctor first before you make any changes in medication. well, the holiday spirit is certainly around, and 49ers quarterback brock purdy wanted to make sure his offensive line really felt appreciated this season. with the gift of new wheels. >> oh my god, my mind is blown. honestly, this is probably the greatest gift i ever got in my life. [music] >> oh my god is right. the quarterback surprised his teammates, giving them five toyota sequoias and five toyota tundras, and the players had fun testing their new trucks. our time now. 526 new information. it's about a family of four, including two young children whose bodies were found in milpitas. what we're now learning from police a how

traveling to see loved ones for the holidays. we're going to take a look at one of our local airports. during one of the busiest travel days of the year. >> plus, their stories remind us that in california, anything is possible. [music] >> a new class of inductees into the california hall of fame. the trailblazing women on the list, including a few with bay area- [music] ties. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning. thank you for joining us here on mornings on

two. i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. >> it's a friday. it's december 20th and we're expecting some cold temperatures and some fog in certain areas. that is correct. >> and increasing clouds leading to rain tomorrow. maybe a little bit today, but more likely tomorrow. but there's temperatures yesterday on the peninsula. they i mean they were colder. i mean, that should say palo alto. san carlos is not there. i have to fix everything. but anyway, they're i think they'll be a little bit more fog on the peninsula and south bay versus yesterday when they were clear. but if you're stuck in that fog, my goodness, along with the increasing clouds. now again this is going to drag across us. this will lead to rain late tonight. tomorrow. and it does look like again about marin county. golden gate bridge, san pablo bay north. this will be the first of many, many systems. so fog, low clouds turning cloudy, cool with an east breeze or wind temperatures. if you're in that fog, forget it. forget about it 50 if you get some sun. 60s. all right, here's sal. >> all right, steve, we have a

crash on highway 37. overturned vehicle westbound 37, white pass. 121. people are getting by, but there is a slowdown here on 37 heading toward novato. just past 121. an overturned car also there, picking up road work in san francisco, west 80. and there's a backup off the bay bridge. should be gone soon, according to caltrans. but there's a backup here that's not usually there. now, traffic is very light, and hopefully this won't last for too much longer. 530. let's go back to the headlines. >> all right. sal. thank you. well, yes, the holiday travel rush is starting again. and just like during thanksgiving, the year end travel is expected to break records. ktvu is amanda quintana is at oakland airport now to show us what it's like out there. good morning amanda. >> good morning. well, surprisingly, it is very quiet here. there is not a lot of people. you can see the tsa line. you know, there's a line, but it's moving. it's not bad at

all, but it is very festive here in the airport. they have a bunch of decorations, you know, outside when you drive up, it's all red and green lights. and then they've got this tree here with a grinch theme. there's a sign next to it that says there's a bunch of trees here at okay. and you can kind of vote on which one you like the best, but they're definitely feeling festive here. they're getting ready to welcome a lot of people coming through the terminals here. so we are expecting a record number of travelers to go at least 50 miles over the holidays. so triple a predicts more than 119 million americans will travel from tomorrow to the first. narrowly beating out 2019 numbers now here at okay. they're projecting 500,000 passengers will pass through the airport between today and january 6th. they say today is actually expected to be the busiest of those days. we're

expecting it to really ramp up here this morning. but again, it is pretty light right now. you know, a bunch of the employees just kind of hanging out right now. there are a handful of delays, cancellations, about three cancellations, some delays, but they're not really anything big. so if you're coming out here, you know, still think ahead. still prepare for long lines. even though you see this on tv and you see that it's not that bad, i would be prepared just in case. live at okay. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. thank you, amanda, for keeping an eye on the airports. police in milpitas have confirmed the bodies of four people found tuesday night in an apartment where members of the same family. investigators say it was a murder suicide. police say a 36 year old man shot and killed his wife and two young children, ages nine and four, then shot himself. >> this tragedy is a very difficult reminder of the importance of addressing domestic violence and gun

violence. the loss of their lives was preventable. >> milpitas police say there were no previous reports of domestic violence involving the family, and they say the motive for the killings is still under investigation. now, we'd like to remind you that there is help available if you or anyone else is dealing with mental health issues that could lead to violence, just dial 988. that is the number for the national mental health hotline and it is available 24 over seven. >> our time now 533. the alameda county district attorney plans to throw out a case against a police officer involved in the death of mario gonzalez in alameda. the da's office told ktvu it will throw out the case against officer eric mckinley, who pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter back in october. a judge has already dropped charges for two other police officers after the district attorney's office failed to charge them in an adequate time frame.

>> president biden heads to italy next month to see the pope in what likely will be his final international trip as commander in chief. pope francis invited president biden during a phone call. the president thanked the pontiff for his ongoing work for human rights and religious freedoms. their meeting next month will include advancing peace efforts worldwide. the trip is set for january 9th to the 12th. >> well, we're now learning more about the people who may be trying to become oakland's next mayor. the city clerk released the names of 11 people interested in running for mayor, and support is already growing. for one familiar face who's not on the list. a group posted a public letter that was signed by 25 community leaders and organizations saying, quote, oakland is a city that's facing a crisis of leadership, and barbara lee is the person they think would best bring people together effectively. now, the current interim mayor, nikki fortunato bass, was also among those who signed that letter. >> this was an effort totally

outside of her. she brought together people that would normally not even sit in the room together. that's what oakland needs right now. we need no more divisiveness. >> now, supervisor lauren taylor has also thrown his hat into the ring. he narrowly lost in the last mayoral election to xiang tao. the oakland city clerk says the last day to file paperwork to get into the race is january 17th. >> hundreds of bay area workers are on picket lines heading into the holidays. amazon. amazon. >> amazon. amazon. >> amazon. workers nationwide, including san francisco, walked off the job and the strike is expected to continue today. distribution warehouse workers are asking for pay raises and better benefits. they say they gave amazon a december 15th deadline but were ignored. amazon accuses the union of coercing and threatening amazon employees to join the strike. >> they refuse to do that. they've refused all the other deadlines that we've set for them. so now they've left us

with no choice but to strike. >> across town, workers at the marriott hotels began voting on a new contract offer. workers say it appears to be a good deal after examining the wages and medical benefits. hilton and hyatt workers remain on the picket lines. >> our time now. 536. governor gavin newsom and first partner jennifer siebel newsom held a virtual ceremony to induct the first all female class into the california hall of fame. it was an historic night. it saw each new member honored for their contributions to california, and many of the women inducted have bay area connections. governor newsom said their stories remind us that in california, anything is possible. >> each of these honorees represented the spirit of california, embodying values like innovation, justice, and resilience. they pushed boundaries, transcended societal norms, and inspired progress in ways that continue to resonate with people everywhere. >> now, the california hall of

fame's 18th class featured the late tina turner, julia child, alice piper, dian fossey. mitsuo endo, vicki draves, and ina coolbrith. miss draves was born and raised in san francisco. coolbirth was the first librarian in the city of oakland. well, here at ktvu, we want to say thank you to you, our viewers, for sending us all of your holiday cards. they're still coming in. we received more than 1500 of them this year. >> stacks and stacks. and they're incredible to read. your lovely notes. so heartwarming and sweet. and we wanted to read one of them on the air. this is from stella lee and randy wong. they're in oakland, and they just say, wishing you a season filled with joy, laughter and i love this. and healthy choices. healthy choices into the happy and healthy 2025. so thank you so much. just sharing some of

them. but i have really enjoyed reading these and we really appreciate it. >> and we're sending them back. >> yep. all right. steve paulson is busy signing cards. we are signing them personally. >> yes we are. and i'm down to my last 50. okay. 1800 is what i heard, mr. clark. yeah. there you go. all right. dense fog advisory, but only if you're out that way. i'm including contra costa county, even though this is the weather service's decision, not mine, but just based on what i've seen and heard. but solano county, carquinez strait, that area out towards eastern contra costa county. and if you get that fog, it is just a man. your high temperature could be about 48 and with an east wind. now again, most of visibility is okay. but look at san carlos and san jose. yesterday they were ten miles. now they're four, so there might be a little bit of fog kind of dancing today. more so than yesterday. no doubt. santa clara valley san martin says, hey, we can't see across the street. zero visibility there. so that's a big change compared to yesterday. even though the fog advisory, which was not valid at all for the

peninsula and south bay yesterday, might make a little bit more sense today, even though there is none. east wind 23 at davis point. east wind in san francisco. it's a north wind. oakland, berkeley hills. the napa airport just has been i mean, cranked up here. it's been drinking espressos, i guess east 29. i've seen 33. so napa airport, of course, jamison canyon, american canyon out that way. maybe. cordelia. that can be a cold wind. 40s on most of the temps, hayward says 39, mainly 40s. not only do we have low clouds, but high clouds are starting to come in yet. there you go. 52 pillar point, woodside, atherton, stanford, palo alto, los altos, all in the 30s and is closed for san carlos and also foster city. a few high clouds drifting in. they'll continue to move in throughout the day. it's the system actually coming in tonight, tomorrow that will give us rain. it looks like the first of many, many systems here, at least taking us out, probably to the end of the month is kind of the way it looks here. and all attention, focus looks to be about marin county. golden gate bridge, san pablo bay north.

these are warmer systems initially, so not big snow producers yet, but this could be a really wet pattern for about sonoma county. marin county, definitely up into mendocino county and lake county. with friday on my mind. if you're in the fog, it's cold. clear for some, but increasing clouds, maybe a little bit of sun. not much for upper 40s 50s, especially east. and if you can get enough sun, some 60s. but it's just a cold day for many here. rain saturday again late sunday. monday. another system. tuesday. >> all right. thank you steve. prop 36 went into effect in the last 24 hours. the impact some sa y it is already

of san jose, used to serve half a million meals to those in need each year. that number has now jumped to 2.5 million people. the number of volunteers also went from 30 a week to 300. leaders of the organization are now looking to move into a warehouse with double the space. >> because we serve the poor, we need to, you know, we need to remain in central san jose, where the poor can walk to our door and where we're accessible to volunteers from the greater part of the valley. >> the organization requires space for an oversize kitchen equipment, extra venting, and more. but donors don't want to fund the move until a purchase agreement is signed, which requires money up front. it is hoping a business will step up to make a charitable donation by the end of the year, so it can expand. well, the new california law increasing the punishment for certain drug and theft crimes is now on the books. proposition 36 took effect yesterday after voters passed the measure last month. the new

law increases penalties for some drug crimes, including for people who deal fentanyl. the new law has already prompted one police department in orange county to launch an undercover operation targeting shoplifters. >> we pose as a potential buyer and then make sure that we have the right suspect in mind, and then when they make the deal, then if it's possession of stolen property, we'll arrest them for a felony. >> a new law makes shoplifting a felony for people who have been convicted several times. >> our time is now 547. big lot says it plans to close all of its remaining stores as it's going through bankruptcy. the company has already closed more than 400 stores. now it plans going out of business sales at the remaining stores. the company is still trying to find a buyer, but it has already had one sale fall through this year. by the way, there are 21 big lot stores left in california. none here in the bay area.

>> a new canine companion is making its way to disney parks and cruise ships. bluey, from the children's show of the same name, will be on board cruise ships originating from australia and new zealand starting in january. bluey's sister, bingo, will also be there. the kids show has become a household name for families around the world. they will soon be in disney parks as well. >> well, the beloved rose parade in pasadena in southern california is one of the best ways to really ring in the new year. it's a five and a half mile route. it features some beautiful, intricate floats covered in flowers, horses, marching bands, and a lot more. honoring the traditions dating back to 1890. the floats also honor the people who make their communities special and the loved ones they've lost. the one legacy float honors organ donors and the lives they have saved. >> people who are no longer here are living on in others. >> malachi would end up saving

four lives with his heart, his liver and kidneys. and because of that organ donation, i have found purpose in becoming an ambassador for one legacy. >> now the theme this year best day ever and tennis legend billie jean king will be the grand marshal. you can see it live when our fox local app at 8 a.m. wednesday, january 1st. >> the best day ever. one of my best days ever was actually when my dad surprised my mom and i and got us tickets to the rose parade. we got to see all of that in person and it's even more incredible. well, this is awkward. >> yeah, you're talking, and i'm just sitting here. >> well. hey, sal. >> good morning everyone. hey, i do have to tell you about a crash in oakland southbound 880 near high street. that one is blocking lanes, and traffic is quickly backing up here, heading down toward the coliseum. the other arrow i had. and let me put two here just to let you know what i'm talking about. we

had some road work. it picked up. the lanes are open, but we do have a residual delay from treasure island. also good news. highway 37. that crash has been cleared right near lakeville highway 5.49. let's bring steve back in. >> thank you. sir. yes, sir. all right. a robust east breeze or even wind for some continues. so that brings that valley fog back. and if you're parts of napa county, even sonoma county, and especially solano and contra costa. man, oh, man, that is a cold pattern. you just can't get above the upper 40s or even low 50s. napa airport almost gusts to 30 out of the east. concord northeast. fairfield northeast. so it's a cold wind there. 30s for a few 40s for most. there's just too much in the way of low clouds and even some higher clouds, although a little bit of clearing south. so hollister is in the upper 30s. santa clara, saratoga, boulder creek, felton and scotts valley in there. so

there are a few. but with the clouds beginning to increase, a little bit more fog as well. peninsula and also south bay. i don't think it will get cold as yesterday. multiple systems are on the way. they without question favor about the golden gate bridge. san pablo bay north doesn't mean areas east and south won't get any rain, but there could be some hefty totals here over the next 10 to 14 days, especially from about, i'd say marin county north, napa county north, santa rosa north. could be looking at some eye popping numbers over the next ten days or so. but friday on my mind, if you're in that fog, it's just darn cold i can't get. i can't help it. sun and clouds, east wind. with the front coming in. maybe the breeze will turn a little more southerly. that would help kind of lift the bases a little bit, but we'll go from 50 to 64 on the temps tomorrow. rain, then a cloudy sunday with some light rain late sunday. monday. another system. tuesday. >> all right. thank you steve. workers from coast to coast are going on strike right in the middle of the holiday season. we've talked about hotel workers, amazon and now

employees at starbucks in three big cities are walking off the job. why? they say this strike could grow and goodwill at a gas station. >> we'll tell you how an east bay business is ♪ honeybaked, how it glistens. ♪ ♪ mac and cheese, so delicious. ♪ ♪ sweet potato souffle. ♪ ♪ ham and turkey, hooray. ♪ ♪ feasting on some honeybaked all day. ♪ every bite is a celebration with the honey baked ham company.

greatest teams. the team announced yesterday. frank. kendrick died wednesday night at the age of 74. kendrick was a member of the warriors 1975 championship team, and during that season, the six foot six forward averaged just over three points and one rebound. >> his loss is felt by the entire warriors organization, and we mourn with his family. >> kendrick was a native of indianapolis, indiana. he was inducted into the indiana basketball hall of fame in 2002. he is survived by his wife and three children. >> well, the golden state warriors will travel to minnesota to play the timberwolves tomorrow. last night it was a rough one. warriors fell behind early in memphis and never recovered. the warriors were down by 31 points at the half. the team hoped newly acquired veteran player dennis schroder would be a spark in his debut, but the grizzlies beat them by 51 points, tying

the fourth biggest blowout loss in franchise history. 144 to 93. ouch. >> all right. time is 555. major league soccer released its schedule for the coming season, and one of the greatest players of all time is coming to san jose. the san jose earthquakes will play lionel messi's inter miami at paypal park on may 14th. it will be the argentine legend's first game in the bay area since joining the mls. that game is almost certain to be a sellout. now, ktvu talked to the quakes team ambassador shea salinas. he says this will be one of the biggest games in the franchise's history. >> it demand is going to be through the roof for this game. i mean, if you've seen the what happened in the cities that he visited last year, i mean, they were selling out 60, $70,000, 70,000 seat stadiums. paypal park is 18,000. so we expect that. we expect that sellout to happen. >> taylor cutting it to his.

>> all right. our time is 557. a gas station in fremont is giving back to the community in the form of free coffee and hot chocolate. for the next four weeks, the valero gas station at fremont boulevard and mallory avenue is offering free drinks to the homeless. and anybody else in need of a pick me up. all of this, even though the family run gas station has repeatedly been victimized by crime, including theft and vandalism. >> it is unfortunate that we do have the crime. we're doing our best to deter it. working with the fremont pd and other other initiatives, however, we still feel like those that are in need. let's do our best to put a smile on our face. >> it's a blessing to help me keep warm out there. it's been really, really cold now in years past, this same gas station offered gas for a penny a gallon for a whole day, and provided free gas for federal employees during a government shutdown. >> brothers in san carlos just

won a national award for their invention. 19 year old nicholas and christopher clark created a device that helps curb the acidity that is threatening the chemical balance of our oceans. >> our long term plan is eventually to work with governments and environmental agencies to bring the solution and technology a globally to help implement it in our oceans. >> well, it places a specific kind of algae in a box, then into the water to consume and filter out the carbon dioxide that increases water acidity. it's a low tech solution, which means it could be highly scalable and widely accessible. >> don't tell me this is on our watch. this is on your watch. >> as we get closer to the deadline for a partial government shutdown, lots of fingers are being pointing pointed on capitol hill. the democrats targeting one specific person from the incoming trump administration. and today it's one of the busiest travel days of the year. we're checking out

all of the major bay area airports and the special events happening for the holidays from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning to you and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it is friday december 20th. clear enough to see the lights of the. i think that's the jack london right christmas tree. let's check in. yes it is. thank you. eric. our director for pulling that up. steve paulson clear today. but rain is coming in. >> when? >> not not clear today. >> clear of rain today, but clear of rain tomorrow. and andre senior, i think turned the lights on for that tree did he not. our own andre senior. there you go. nice job andre. forecast dark. yes, it is dark out there. 40s on the temps, a few 30s again. i'll change that. that's palo alto at 39. higher clouds are on the way. if you have the fog. it's just. i can't help you. maybe a south wind will budge the bases on that fog a

little bit, but we're getting ready for what looks to be a wet pattern here. no doubt. marin county, san pablo bay north. there will be some south, but the bulk of this is favoring areas north by a wide margin. fog, low clouds. there is a fog advisory out towards the east. solano county, carquinez strait. mostly cloudy. continued. cool if you get some sun, maybe some 60s, but mainly it's in the 50s. all right. sal is here. sal, i'm about to visit you. do you know why? >> let me tell you, i don't know. >> i'm handing you a pile of cards that need to be solved. >> oh my goodness, even more. you know what? when ktvu decided to ask our viewers to send us cards, they didn't know what they were in for. all right. good morning everyone. i'll gladly sign. by the way, let's switch over to el sobrante. there's a crash on west 80 at appian way, and i didn't think it was that serious, but now it's blocking several lanes and it has become a big deal. it's backed up past highway four. so

if you're coming from vallejo or coming west of the carquinez bridge and you're trying to get into richmond, all of a sudden there is a big backup here beyond highway four, heading down to the appian way exit, southbound 880 near high street. there's a crash there, so don't be late heading down south. i will say that it is lighter than usual at the bay bridge this morning. usually we have a backup this morning. we don't. so that could be friday. light going on here. 601. let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal. today is the start of the winter holiday travel period. >> indeed it is. today is going to be one of the busiest travel days of the year. this is a live look at sfo as we speak. we're watching. and 6.3 million travelers are expected to be passing through the airport between now and new year's day. that will be an estimated 15% increase over the 2023 holiday travel level.

airport as among the top five most on time in the country during the holiday season. good, good work there. that includes some victorian carolers they had there in san jose and terminals a and b. >> all right. our time is 603. united airlines flight attendants walked picket lines at sfo and at other airports around the country. they're gearing up for a possible strike as they're negotiating for better pay. what do we want? >> contract. when do we want it? >> now. the association of flight attendants calls it a day of action. it follows their overwhelming 99% strike authorization vote in august. now, in a statement released to ktvu, united airlines says, quote, we're eager to reach the industry leading agreement with our flight attendants that they deserve. united is offering pay raises of 22.5%, new boarding pay and many other improvements.

>> hundreds of bay area workers are on strike heading into the holidays. amazon. amazon. [applause] amazon. workers at some of the big warehouses across the country, including san francisco, hit the picket lines. the distribution warehouse workers are asking for pay raises and better benefits. employees at hilton and hyatt hotels are also in a labor dispute, but a deal may be reached between marriott and its workers soon. union members are voting on a new contract offer, and they seem to like the wage increase and the medical benefits offered. but starbucks workers are now planning to go on a five day strike in several big u.s. cities, and they say it could spread to hundreds of other stores by christmas eve. they are protesting the lack of progress in contract negotiations this year, the baristas union says the company proposed a deal with no new wage increases now and a 1.5% increase in future years. no stores in the bay area are involved in the strike at this

time. >> our time now. 605. there may be a partial government shutdown tonight, after lawmakers in the house rejected the new plan proposed by president elect donald trump to fund the federal government. that spending package that was voted down by the house would have raised the nation's debt ceiling for the next two years. democrats rejected that part of the bill, saying trump wanted to extend tax cuts for the richest americans. democrats also blamed elon musk, an ally of trump, for killing an earlier bipartisan bill. >> the musk, johnson proposal is not serious. it's laughable. extreme maga republicans are driving us to a government shutdown. >> this keeps the government open. what my friends want to do by voting no is effectively to shut it down. >> now, 38 republicans joined democrats in rejecting the latest bill. many republicans did not want to raise the

government's borrowing limit. >> today, california health officials will update the public on what they plan to do about bird flu. it comes just days after the governor declared a state of emergency. ktvu sally rasmus joins us now to talk about why some veterinarians now say people who live far away from farms could still be at risk. allie. >> yeah. pam. the spread of bird flu among dairy cows in california is what the governor's office says prompted that emergency declaration this week. california is one of the nation's largest milk producing states. and now, this morning, representatives from the california department of health will give more details about what that emergency declaration means and what they will be able to do to help dairy farmers curb the spread of the virus. there are about 645 dairy cow herds in california that have had cases of bird flu. 34 people in california have tested positive for the virus this year. all of them had been in close contact with either cattle or poultry. we spoke to a veterinarian and epidemiologist at uc davis. he explained why the bird flu is

affecting cattle at so many dairy farms, and he says it comes from wild birds. >> california has lost 95% of its natural wetlands. so you have all these waterfowl that are using what i call suboptimal habitat, like dairy lagoons, for example, to spend 10 to 14 hours a day roosting there, shedding virus. we can't predict what's going to happen next, but we do know the more virus that's out there, the more potential for the virus to continue to evolve and mutate. >> now, so far, there have been no known cases of person to person spread of bird flu, but there is growing concern that the virus may be changing and could spread more easily. just this week, the los angeles health department announced three domestic cats tested positive for bird flu after drinking raw milk from an infected cow. two of them died. veterinarians also say people who have backyard chickens may be at risk that they should take precautions like wearing rubber gloves, boots, even surgical masks any time they're around their backyard chicken coop. earlier this week, a 65 year old

man in louisiana became the first known severe case of bird flu in the u.s. he was hospitalized in critical condition. authorities believe he was exposed after coming into contact with infected chickens in his backyard flock. dave, back to you. >> okay, ali. thank you. time now, 608. an environmental group is suing the port of oakland over its proposed expansion plans at the oakland airport. the plans include a new terminal and improvements to parking and international arrivals. the lawsuit, filed by communities for a better environment, claims the environmental impact report understates the true impact of expansion on air quality, noise and traffic. and it's calling for a new environmental study. well, the port of oakland issued a statement about this, saying the project will modernize the airport's facilities to meet the needs of the region and its travel. and that, quote, the final environmental impact report was certified by a unanimous vote by the oakland

board of port commissions or commissioners on november 21st of this year. the eir is a product of years of careful study, community outreach, and careful deliberation. preceding that november vote. >> all right, back over to sal. check in on the friday morning commute. looks pretty smooth heading into the city on the bay bridge. >> yeah, it is, and i think we're going to have a friday light. we went first though to that crash. 80 westbound at appian way. they actually removed it from the lanes. it was blocking all the lanes for a short time. there was a big backup beyond highway four that is still dissipating, but at least there's better news there. southbound 880 is still very slow approaching high street, and the 29th on ramp is actually where the crash is. and traffic is quickly backing up. we are backed up almost all the way up to downtown. that would be a good freeway to avoid 880 south. as pam and dave mentioned, it looks pretty light at the bay bridge. i'm not expecting this

to change unless there is a crash. 610. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. sal. food packaging is undergoing some changes. foods must now pass new requirements before the word healthy appears on the label. >> and pam, a restaurant in the south bay, serves more than 2 million meals every year. but that success is leading to one big

on two. time now 613. here are some of the stories we are following for you this morning. a convicted murderer who is already serving a life sentence for a homicide in 1989, has been found guilty of two other killings. the bay area news group reports 63 year old david misch has been convicted of killing two young women in 1986. evidence against him included his dna, which was found under the fingernails of one of the victims. misch is still awaiting trial on charges of kidnaping and killing nine year old girl from hayward two years ago. 240 years ago police in milpitas say the deaths of four family members whose bodies were found this week was a murder suicide. >> the four bodies were found tuesday night in an apartment. investigators say a 36 year old man shot and killed his wife and their two small children, ages nine and four, before he killed himself.

>> the december holiday travel season kicks off. today, you're looking at live video of sfo. we've been keeping an eye on the traffic inside. the airport's triple a predicts more than 119 million americans will travel between tomorrow and january 1st. that will be a record high for the christmas travel season. >> and happening today, home first will hold a memorial honoring the 197 homeless people who died this year in santa clara county. several city and county leaders and elected officials will read aloud the names of those who died one by one. the county's coroner's office says that the age range of those who died were from 0 to 104. the data also highlights the continuing challenge of providing housing and services to the thousands of homeless individuals in the county. also happening today, the saint anthony foundation, hosting its annual holiday gift wrapping event at golden gate avenue in

san francisco. volunteers are coming together to wrap hundreds of gifts for 38 special families in need from the tenderloin. >> martha's kitchen in the south bay serves more than 2 million meals a year, but its success has made the organization grow so much that they now need to move into a larger space to accommodate all the work and the people they're feeding. andre senior. joining us now with what's standing in the way of that move. >> well, good morning to you, pam. martha's kitchen, located in the alma neighborhood of san jose, used to serve half a million meals to unhoused people looking for a warm meal each year. that number has now jumped to 2.5 million people. the number of volunteers also went from 30 a week to 300, because of a lot of people who needed that help. leaders of the organization are looking to move into a warehouse with double the space. right now, they rent and operate out of sacred heart of jesus church. ideally, leaders want to stay in central san jose to remain accessible to

everybody in the city. >> trying to move a nonprofit is not easy for a variety of reasons. one real estate silicon valley is phenomenally expensive, so that makes the fiscal challenge tremendous. tw, we need to be in the right location, and that really limits where we can be because we serve the poor. we need to, you know, we need to remain in central san jose where the poor can walk to our door and where we're accessible to volunteers from the greater part of the valley. >> the organization is looking at areas in south central san jose, north of curtner avenue. also, ideally it would be west of highway 87 and east of east of san jose state. the organization requires space for oversize kitchen equipment, extra venting, and more. so leaders are looking to buy instead of rent so they can renovate the building to best accommodate the nonprofit's massive kitchen. >> it is going to take a village to get this done. it's going to take funding to get the facility

acquired. it's going to take funding to get the kitchen built. so anything anybody can do to help us would be greatly appreciated. you know, i always tell people, you know, they can contribute. they can contribute time, treasure or talent, whatever they've got. >> all right. so donors say they don't want to fund the move until a purchase agreement is signed, which requires money up front. now, if you want to get involved. martha's kitchen is located on willow street in san jose, or you can visit their website for ways to help. >> all right, andre, thank you. time now, 618. [music] well, here at ktvu, we talk about this a lot. we want to say thank you to our viewers for sending us your holiday cards. and we've received a bunch of them, more than 1500 cards this year. >> this is just one stack. and the messages are so heartfelt. this is one that we wanted to share. this one really moved. you and i. we read this at our desk and this is from miss. miss cynthia northup in antioch. and she talks about in her note to

carquinez strait, the delta, solano county. i don't make this decision, but i'm going to mention eastern contra costa county. and if you are any of those areas. yesterday it was freezing. the high temperature yesterday in vallejo was 47. the high was 47. cordelia was 48, fairfield 49. livermore was 48. high temp. i mean, so i get even, ali said. she was on the edge of that fog in fremont yesterday. she goes, i was freezing and i'm like, i get it. believe me, there's better visibility today. so. but i mean, there's still plenty of low clouds out there. there's not as much. look at sfo though. three miles visibility, san jose, san carlos down to four. yesterday they had ten. so it's a little bit of haze a little bit of fog. i think santa clara valley as well. san martin says zero visibility. so we have a little bit more today than yesterday. east wind or a breeze. i mean it is roaring out towards the napa airport. it's been up to 33 miles an hour now. it's only 23, but east wind, east wind or a north wind, all that's in play. so mainly 40s.

there's a couple of 30s showing up. but look at that. all 40s now, except for up in middletown. they're 53 point reyes, bolinas, 50 sonoma, napa 42 degrees and occidental. good old oxy there at 42 as well. higher clouds are on the way. so not much sun today. i mean, just a little bit. could be a few little splash and dash sprinkles or showers. but the main system is taking aim at us late tonight. tomorrow, more likely saturday and everything. the line is drawn from about golden gate bridge, san pablo bay north as far as amounts go. well, you can say san francisco, oakland, but san rafael north is going to be. we'll have to keep an eye on some of these totals going forward. there could be some excessive rainfall, especially over the next 7 to 10 days just to, you know, no doubt about it, santa rosa north. so friday on my mind if you're in the fog, it's cold. might be a little better today if the wind turns southerly. brief sun, but then increasing clouds upper 40s 50s to a few at best. 6364 pam.

expected it to be. they got here early. a lot of people, you know, that's just in their minds when you're traveling during the holidays, you're thinking, i got to get there really early. i got to make sure that i'm waiting in line at the perfect time to, you know, sit down, get a coffee, whatever. but it's looking pretty good here. the lines are looking pretty good. and also it's pretty festive here in the airport. you know, they have christmas trees. some of the employees, they have santa hats and little elf socks. so it's pretty cute to see. live at okay. amanda quintana ktvu fox two news. >> thank you amanda. an accused child killer has been convicted of two east bay homicides from nearly 40 years ago. the bay area news group reports. dna evidence led to the conviction of 63 year old david misch for killing two women in fremont back in 1986. prosecutors say the two victims were killed when they fought back during an attempted sexual assault in the fremont hills. misch is still awaiting trial on charges of

checking on traffic. where are you starting? >> well, we're going to start in the east bay there. pam and dave, the bay bridge. of course. you saw it right behind you. it looks pretty good. we've also been looking at just a little bit of that fog. you can see you can see some of the tail lights kind of at the bottom. but then there's a lot of fog there. fog is moving around. it's not as bad as it was a couple of days ago. there's 280 and again the fog is there. we'll let steve talk about that. but i will say that the traffic is all right. and just for steve, there goes the train. we love steve and i love trains. all right. so there goes the train. and you can see it's moving from left to right heading up to diridon station there. >> steve, what engine would that be, sal? >> you know, i know that they have the new ones. i don't know, i have to i have to get on it. you know, they have the new electrified system, right? yes, sir. yeah. so i'm going to i'll get back to you on that. >> i'm sure somebody will let you know soon as in three, two,

one. all right. we'll get to it. sal is right. there is a little bit more fog, although nothing severe or critical. but yesterday was all clear in san jose and the peninsula was clear today. sfo, three miles visibility san carlos four, san jose five. so not bad, but a little different than yesterday. and thankfully, hopefully the fog bases are lifting. but there's still a fog advisory. parts of solano county and carquinez strait out to the delta. i can't say that for san martin, the santa clara valley, some fog down there, a few pockets of it. so we're not done with it yet. just incredible. east breeze or wind. there's been some gusts about 30mph at the napa airport now. looks like it's coming down a little bit, but due east at fairfield, concord, oakland. and if you're anywhere near those locations the last couple of days, you're like, well, global cooling. my gosh, it's cold. and it was. mountain view and hayward have something in common. they're both 39, a lot of 40s on the temps. i just think there's too much in the way of fog. east wind. same for the east bay temps. i mean north dublin 41. after that though, this is about as close as i've seen all these.

union city is also 41, so we have the low clouds with the east wind and higher clouds are coming in. above it will be a cloudy, mostly cloudy day waiting on this system. first system come in of what will be many systems probably between now and say. the first is the way it looks. if you're north, i would prepare for some pretty good rainfall totals here. maybe a little bit too much if, depending on which forecast models is right, they have trended a little bit more north. so i'll say santa rosa north. but i still think marin county north takes the bulk of this friday on my mind. if you're in the fog, it's cold. if you can get some clearing, maybe, you know, you might get some upper 50s, low 60s. but i think for many it's going to be in the 50s here. low to mid. forecast models are just not picking up on that fog. rain picks up on saturday and then again late sunday monday. another system tuesday thursday could be the bigger system. >> all right steve thank you. time. 641 he's one of the best known, most recognized news broadcasters on cable tv. but neil cavuto is signing off after almost 30 years, and o

morning. happy friday. we have a 24 minute drive from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. and that is pretty good. we're already beginning to see the friday light, and i think it's going to extend through next week and maybe through the end of the year. really, even when people do work. enough people have time off during this time of year that you will see lighter conditions. this is highway 24. there's a little fog there and 280 looks good. so i think we may have already had the last big commute. however, today is friday and friday. getaway commute today could be tricky, so don't think it's going to be all peaches and cream. here's a man who likes peaches and cream, mr. steve paulson. >> you sound like you know what you're talking about. you've been doing this traffic for a while. >> maybe a little bit. okay. >> thank you sir. fog. there's. i mean, we had a fog advisory yesterday for the peninsula and south bay, and it was clear today it's solano county,

carquinez strait, and also out toward. i'm going to i'm going to mention eastern contra costa county just because it's been so brutal. and if you were anywhere north and east yesterday, high temps sometimes did not get out of the upper 40s. it was that cold. tracy's having a little bit of a fog, but after that i mean a little bit more. sfo, san carlos compared to yesterday, but still nothing critical seeing three, four, five miles. so we'll take that. although san martin, santa clara valley is down to a quarter. so there are some pockets where there's still some reduced visibility and east breeze. some of the gusts have been up to about 2530. the napa airport has gone way down. there were 33 miles an hour out of the east at about, i think 4:00 or 5:00. it's still an east or north wind, including petaluma, north to 13. so that's a cold breeze if you're stuck in that cloud cover and that breeze a few 30s. mountain view, hayward a lot of 40s here, mostly 40s, although look at pillar point, half moon bay or 5350 woodside, atherton, 39, palo alto, los altos, 39. and a lot just

holding steady near 40. increasing high clouds, haze, a lot of low clouds. it will be a cloudy, mostly cloudy day. the system then is churning. that's the first of what could be many by the time we get to the end of december and early january. couple of forecast models are really wet. others have taken the line well north, but i just don't trust it. we've seen this pattern going back to november, so i'm leaning on about marin county, san pablo bay north for the heavy amounts. there will be some south, but by far and away north will take the bulk of it. friday on my mind in the fog. cold, clear for some for a while. still cold but increasing clouds throughout the day and that east breeze in place. upper 40s 50s well east, maybe some 60s. all the forecast models have just absolutely had no clue on the forecast highs last couple of days because of this fog. rain starts saturday again sunday night monday. bigger system tuesday day. >> all right steve thank you. time. 653. they're the newest inductees into the california hall of fame. we'll tell you why. this year's class is
