mid 40s tri-valley around the central bay. also pretty common is the number 45 and it's now 46 degrees in san jose. good morning to you. and half moon bay sporting 43 degrees. visibility is an issue due to some fog that is now forming in throughout the napa valley, santa rosa and even livermore with a half mile visibility as you drop down out of the altamont pass, making tracks from tracy and mountain house into the tri valley. the winds are pretty much nonexistent, and that is why we have the cooler air mass in place, and the temperatures are taking a big dip. clear skies. we will see a few of those high, thin clouds drifting in from time to time. temperatures today under 60 degrees. now we do have a frost advisory and even a freeze warning that goes into effect tonight. we'll talk more about that and show you just how low it will go. but welcoming back from a well-deserved vacation, we missed you dearly. hugs, hugs, hugs. here's sal castaneda

y. >> thank you roberta. that's very nice of you. you know what? we don't have a lot going on traffic wise, which is good. i think that if you have to go on this monday, you're going to find it nice and to your liking. let's go right to the bay bridge. you can see there are people out there. it's not completely light, but you will see the traffic is moving well. and so it is on the east shore freeway so far. and i think we're going to have a better than usual week. we'll see. 501 let's get back to the headlines, sal. >> thank you much. january 9th will be a national day of mourning in honor of former president jimmy carter. carter will lie in state in the capitol rotunda next month leading up to his public funeral, which will be held at the washington national cathedral next thursday, january 9th. carter. america's 39th president died yesterday at the age of 100, in his home state of georgia. the carters say final plans for his memorial are still being put together. now that carter won the nobel peace prize back in 2002 for his decades of work

searching for peaceful solutions to international conflicts and advancing democracy and human rights, as well as promoting economic and social development. carter also worked on environmental initiatives around the world, including here in california. we spoke to a former member of the carter administration, robert colin, who worked with carter on several projects, such as a global report warning about a population boom and depleting resources. >> i always consider it to be one of the highest honors in my life to have been part of his team. carter added. a lot, a huge amount to the national parks and the alaska wilderness area, and he was he had a great environmental legacy. he was one of the best environmental presidents we've ever had. >> colin called carter both a friend and an inspiration. president biden has signed a proclamation ordering the nation's flags to fly at half staff to honor carter's life and legacy. flags will remain at half staff for the next 30 days at all federal buildings and facilities. this tradition

follows the death of the president or former president, and it means the flag will be at half staff during the presidential inauguration in january on the 20th. >> our time is 503. former president carter will be buried alongside his wife, rosalynn, at their longtime home in plains, georgia. they were married for 77 years, the longest presidential marriage in american history. throughout his presidency, rosalynn remained her husband's biggest supporter and confidante. he championed her work as well. after leaving the white house, they devoted their lives to service. they once talked about how they stayed connected even when things became rocky. >> give each other space and we try to do things together. we also make up and give each other a kiss before we go to sleep. >> now the couple's home was deeded to the national park service. the grounds will be turned into a museum. well, president biden talked about the

legacy of former president jimmy carter. president biden was in the u.s. virgin islands. that's where he and his family are spending their final vacation before he leaves the white house. last night, president biden called the late president a friend and said, no matter how successful jimmy carter became, he was still humble and never stopped serving others. >> his light and his life. he served the nation in the navy. he led the state of georgia. he became president and a beloved statesman all over the world. but to know his core, you need to know he never stopped being a sunday school teacher at that baptist church in plains, georgia. >> president elect donald trump released a statement about jimmy carter on social media saying, quote, the challenges jimmy faced as president came at a pivotal time for our country, and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all americans. for that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude. melania and i are thinking

warmly of the carter family and their loved ones during this difficult time. we urge everyone to keep them in their hearts and prayers. now, ktvu coverage of jimmy carter's death and his lasting legacy continues online. you can find stories about his time in the white house and see the plans for his funeral. just go to ktvu.com. our time now 505. at several oakland gas stations, employees are cleaning up after a string of robberies. they happened early sunday morning. at least four gas stations were hit before 7 a.m. that includes a gas station on high street, a car wash on broadway, and ampm on shattuck, and a shell station on fifth street. a cashier we talked to who didn't want to be identified, says at least eight people smashed through the front door. >> it was the other cashier. they tell him, don't do anything. they will kill you. then they came over to the atm.

they want to try to break the atm with a big hammer. that's right. they tried. they didn't break it. >> that cashier says just two weeks ago, the same location was robbed in oakland. police say during another one of the robberies, a store employee pulled out a gun and the would be thieves ran away. >> time now is 506. a standoff with daly city police that lasted more than 24 hours ended with a woman being arrested. it started saturday night at a house near lake merced golf course, where police were called about a domestic disturbance. police say when officers arrived, a woman who was holding a knife answered the door and charged at the police officers. the officers backed away, they say, and crisis negotiators were called in to de-escalate the situation. the woman was eventually arrested. >> time now, 507 later today, san francisco police will hold a town hall meeting giving us new information about a deadly police shooting. it happened december 20th, as when police officers say they shot and killed an armed man in union

square, who turned out to be a security guard at the dior boutique. police say the man was wanted for hitting two pedestrians and a cyclist with a vehicle hours earlier during a chase. now, the town hall meeting is scheduled virtually at three in the afternoon. you can see this forum on the san francisco city government's youtube page. >> well, 2025 is less than 48 hours away now, which means several new laws will soon go into effect in california. governor newsom signed several new bills into law over the past year, many of them addressing issues that continue to plague the golden state, such as affordable housing, crime and health care. some of the new laws include a law allowing retail stores to get restraining orders against people sentenced for stealing, vandalizing and assaulting an employee, another which will create sentencing enhancements for people who take damage or destroy property that exceeds $50,000. one new law will raise the classification for soliciting and buying sex from a minor under 16, from a misdemeanor to a felony. another

will give tenants ten business days to respond to eviction notices, up from five days, and one will make it easier for cities to build tiny homes for homeless residents. well, it's been a challenging drive to the sierra over the last few days. four wheel drive was useful to get around over the weekend. the weather was a mix of rain and snow in addition to strong winds, but that did not stop people from heading to the slopes. >> first run of the season. we're about to get out there and get some runs in. check it out, see how it goes. didn't check the weather before we got here, so it looks like it's going to be one of those days. oh it's perfect. >> it's my favorite time. it's like fresh snow. heavy snow. plus it's nice because other people don't want to be out here. so this is my time to shine. >> well, most tahoe ski resorts say they already have more than two thirds of their trails open, despite it being early in the ski season and snowboarding season as well. that woman, she she is like, i want to get up here. >> that's it. yeah. >> yeah. i think most of us have

been there, right? i just want to get there. i just want to get there. are we there yet? hi, everybody. good morning to you all. that snow was from that area of low pressure that dumped rain in the bay area yesterday morning, and now it's a brand new weather pattern we're talking about. see those highlighted area freeze warning in effect for napa and sonoma counties this morning. and much of monterey bay county. and then the other highlighted area is a frost advisory. the bottom line is it's chilly outside 37 degrees in santa rosa at this very early hour. it's also in the 30s around napa and sonoma and 40 covid around the central bay. good morning to you in fremont and in union city. milpitas how are you doing? temperatures in the mid 40s. it is now 45. and throughout pleasanton and dublin and 40s pretty common around the peninsula. visibility is an issue because of some patchy fog that is developing as we speak. quarter of a mile visibility in napa. also in throughout the tri valley that is lowered in just the past five minutes. two mile visibility in throughout santa rosa. please be mindful of that out the door. the winds are

under ten and boy that adds a wind chill, doesn't it? otherwise, with the settled wind pretty much nonexistent, the colder air mass is taking place. visibility is unlimited at this early hour, but we will see a few of these clouds filtering in from time to time. we'll call it partly sunny today. your temperatures span in the 60s across the board. no, it's going to be in the 50s. that was the wrong map there. frost advisories goes into effect again tonight for all of the bay area, with an exception right here in the north bay. that's where we will have temperatures down to 28 degrees in the coldest locations around cotati and windsor. otherwise, 40 overnight in oakland. these are the high temperatures that you should expect today for the 49ers game. and we're going to talk more about this guys. because boy, by the end of the game there will be a chill in the air. and i'm not talking about the score. >> all right roberta, thank you so much. we continue our coverage of the passing of jimmy carter. the 39th president made his impact after his presidency.

>> and over the weekend, a deadly storm triggered tornadoes, causing a lot of destruction. we'll show you the damage that left at least four people

14 this morning on january 1st, several new laws are going into effect statewide, and several of them will impact the workplace. one new law will increase

protections for independent contractors and require they get paid on or before the date listed on the contract. and another allows farm workers to use paid sick days to avoid extremely hot and smoky days. >> well, an investigation is underway after almost 180 people were killed in a plane crash in south korea. authorities say a passenger jet veered off a runway at high speeds and exploded into flames at an airport yesterday. the two survivors of the crash were both members of the flight crew, who were rescued from the tail section of that plane. it was south korea's deadliest plane crash in more than 20 years. and we're remembering the life and accomplishments of former president jimmy carter, who died yesterday at his home in plains, georgia, at the age of 100. reporter rebecca carter is in washington now. glad to have you with us. and i know the tributes for mr. carter will be held and continue to be coming in over the next month. good morning.

>> good morning. dave. jimmy carter's state funeral will be held at the washington national cathedral on january 9th, which president biden has declared a national day of mourning. >> jimmy carter stands as a model of what it means to live a life of meaning and purpose. >> an outpouring of reflection on the life of former president jimmy carter, after the longest living u.s. president passed away sunday at the age of 100. >> someone who embodied the most fundamental human values we can never let slip away. >> james earl carter was born in plains, georgia, in 1924 to a peanut farming parents. he attended the naval academy, married his college sweetheart, rosalynn smith, and served in the navy for nearly ten years. carter later turned to politics. elected state senator in 1962 and governor of georgia in 1970. >> i am a candidate for president. >> carter went from an unknown candidate in 1974 to the 39th

president. president carter's greatest triumph came in 1978, when he brokered talks between the leaders of israel and egypt, ending years of fighting. but he also saw his share of challenges. in november 1979, iranian militants captured and held 52 american embassy employees hostage in tehran. the hostages weren't released until the day he left office. months after losing his reelection bid to ronald reagan, carter eventually returned to georgia and turned his efforts to promoting world peace that included a trip to cuba in 2002, the first american president to visit in more than 40 years. later that year, the former president won the nobel peace prize. carter's life was also centered around charity. building homes for the poor with the habitat for humanity project. president carter remained active well into his 90s, teaching sunday school in georgia twice a month. he left hospice at age 99 last year to bid his wife of nearly eight decades farewell at her funeral

service. public observances will also be held in atlanta before jimmy carter is buried next to his wife at their family plot in plains, georgia. dave, back to you. >> all right, rebecca, thank you. >> meantime, building homes through habitat for humanity will be one of jimmy carter's lasting legacies. in 1995, 14 years after he left the white house, carter traveled to the los angeles neighborhood of watts and helped build 21 houses in a week. one of those houses went to an immigrant family from el salvador who saw their american dream realized. their 15 year old son was picked to speak about what the house meant to the entire family. >> i cannot express the way we felt when we. all right. >> take your time. >> don't we want to thank jimmy carter for giving us the house? >> my tears hit a soft spot with president carter and rosalyn carter, which changed my connection with them forever.

>> that boy grew up and became friends with the carters. he transitioned from a job in finances to the affordable housing sector because he wanted to help other families fulfill their dreams. 518 is your time now? authorities are inspecting the massive damage from a deadly storm system that spawned tornadoes across the south and southeast. at least four people were killed in the twisters that touched down this weekend in texas, north carolina and mississippi. one of the strongest tornadoes ripped through the rural town of conroe, texas, about 40 miles north of houston. >> mobile homes that have been rolled or crushed. we had 15 individuals who were and they were trapped that we got them all out. no injuries. amazing. >> in all, 38 tornadoes were reported in these four states between saturday night and sunday afternoon. >> so you were up in the mountains. you saw firsthand what it was like up there. >> yeah. it was. the slushy roads were one thing. the rain was another thing, and it was

pretty windy. even the gondola had to had to temporarily, you know, shut down. the one big gantlet down in southlake. >> let's check in with roberta. do we have any idea what's coming our way here in the bay area? roberta. >> you betcha. dave. good morning everybody. as andre was alluding to, we did have some wind holds on some of the lifts yesterday in the greater lake tahoe area. wind will not be so much of a factor across the contiguous 48 states today. in fact, yesterday, with all that ominous and deadly weather, we do not anticipate any kind of activity like that around the country. as of today, the national severe weather prediction center says all is calm. it is currently 71 degrees at this early hour in miami. now take a look at bismarck, because 28 degrees at this hour is what we will experience overnight tonight in santa rosa. it is currently 38 degrees and throughout salt lake city. and we do have locally some of those frosty temperatures here

locally. and that is why we're waking up to a freeze warning in effect throughout napa and sonoma counties. also portions of monterey county. then we have a frost advisory for much of the bay area until 9:00 this morning. it is 38 degrees in santa rosa, same as salt lake city. at this hour. it is 39 degrees now in walnut creek and in diablo, backing through danville. otherwise mid 40s and throughout dublin and pleasanton and livermore. 46 degrees belmont and burlingame and mid 40s around willow glen. backing through the rose garden district of san jose. fog and issue limited visibility. now in santa rosa, a quarter of a mile visibility in livermore and three quarters of a mile visibility in napa. winds are under ten miles per hour for the most part, will remain light today with a few high, thin clouds scraping across the horizon right now. mostly clear skies. these are the high, thin clouds i'm alluding to. no precipitation associated with it. it will be dry today, and because of that cooler air mass that's filtering in with the

passage of yesterday's system, we have a frost advisory that goes into effect tonight through tomorrow morning with even colder temperatures. 28 overnight tonight in santa rosa, 37 mountain view. how about near freezing and throughout the tri valley. but today we're talking about temperatures under 60. no rain in today's forecast, gang. i'm tweaking the five day forecast for the first day of 2025. that's still ahead. >> thank you so much, roberta. norovirus cases are spiking right now. what you can do to protect yourself and your family. >> also, kayakers in napa county were rescued from a lake. why the life saving actions they took before they ran into problems may have made a big difference.

four cases of the stomach virus. they're surging in parts of the u.s, and the experts are warning it is very contagious. the cdc shows there were 91 outbreaks of the norovirus during the week of december 5th. that's up from 69 outbreaks during the last week of november, and double the highest number of cases between 2021 and 2024. the norovirus spreads when infected people touch food or other surfaces. >> it is a virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea. so a lot of time when people talk about having the stomach flu, they

don't have influenza, they don't have the flu, they actually have norovirus. so we do expect an increase in cases as winter progresses. and the holidays usually kind of feel that transmission with senior citizens and children are more vulnerable to serious symptoms from the norovirus to avoid the virus. >> the cdc recommends washing your hands a lot for at least 20s. wash laundry in hot water. disinfect contaminated surfaces and thoroughly clean fruits, vegetables, and shellfish. and if you do happen to get the norovirus, stay at home at least two days after the symptoms stop at 526. >> two people are now safe after being rescued from a lake in the north bay. deputies with the napa county sheriff's office were called to an overturned kayak in lake berryessa yesterday morning. once on the scene, they found two young men in the water yelling for help. fortunately, they were wearing their life jackets and deputies helped pull them out. the men were treated for mild

hypothermia. >> all right. our time is 526. thousands of people were able to go back home in san lorenzo after being forced to evacuate because of a gas leak. we'll tell you how those crews prevented it from being a worst case scenario. usic] you know you want a burger. so make it my smashed jack, rated the best burger in fast food. it's even got more beef than a big mac. chin up, ronald. maybe you'll get a participation trophy. my smashed jack, now on sourdough. welcome to jack in the box!

only 55 to 60 degrees. we are enduring a frost advisory and a freeze warning through portions of the bay area this morning. but it's not as cold this morning as it will be tonight. right now, 38 degrees in santa rosa. it's in the high 30s and napa, mid 40s tri-valley, but colder than that in walnut creek. good morning to you. and along the peninsula into the mid 40s. visibility and issue quarter of a mile in livermore with areas of patchy fog. same in the napa area. one and a quarter mile visibility in santa rosa. clear skies looking out towards san francisco. temperatures later today again 55 to 60 degrees. i've got your 49ers forecast coming up. and i got to ask sal castaneda, are you going to be able to watch the game tonight? >> yes, i am, i am going to watch the game nice and cozy at home. >> yeah. by the end of the game, it's going to be quite chilly for the fans. >> well, yes. yes, but i won't be there. i'll be at my living room. it won't be chilly there, roberta. >> no, you're going to be cozy.

>> and your man cave. >> exactly. good morning everyone. let's go out and see what we have now. we don't have a lot going on right now. go to the bay bridge. you can see that traffic is moving along very nicely. no problems we've been looking at all over the commute and so far, so good. here's live look at san jose commute. northbound 280 looks very good at 531. let's get back to the headlines. all right. >> thank you. well, both a frost advisory and a freeze warning are hitting the bay area today. and the national weather service says the cold weather will be dangerous for the homeless and the unsheltered. ktvu is james torres is in san jose, where the city is trying to protect the homeless population. good morning james. >> dave, good morning to you. well, in a recent survey, we learned that san jose is home to about close to 10,000 unhoused and unsheltered people citywide. just recently, city leaders actually set up a memorial here near downtown city hall. near city hall, i should say memorizing a memorializing some of the homeless people who have

died just in the past year. over the summer, there was this big push to try to get help for some of the unhoused people in the city, those who were dealing with extreme heat. the nws says. feeling this level of cold that we will have for the next few days, that weather for a long time could lead to hypothermia. and people older than 65 years old are most at risk for those types of dangers. and according to the city, of the 197 homeless deaths this year, more than a quarter were seniors older than 65. santa clara county does offer a handful of warming cities, warming centers, i should say, in different cities in the county. san jose, for the most part, every library or community center also serves as a warming center. they're usually open during the afternoon. now moving forward, mayor matt mehan says that he wants to open a thousand managed safe spaces in the next year for the homeless population. he's also made pushes to build hundreds of tiny homes and portable homes to help address the growing homeless crisis. we know the cold weather this

morning, while awfully chilly, only going to be slightly comparable to what we may experience tonight and the next few mornings will let you know if we hear from the city of san jose, what kind of plan they might have in order to we're lie this morning in san jose. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right james thank you. time now, 533. starting next month, san jose officials ordered a 12 mile stretch of homeless encampments along coyote creek to be cleared out. city workers have been out there counting the number of people who live along the creek to determine how many have to be placed in shelters. san jose wants to reduce the amount of pollution in the waterways to avoid being hit with a fine. and mayor matt mehan says 90% of pollution in the creeks and rivers is caused by homeless encampments. >> time now is 5.34. with the new year comes new laws and there are quite a few we want to highlight today. ktvu amanda quintana is here in the studio to focus on some of the new

employment related laws. amanda. >> well, there are several new laws that will take effect in 2025 addressing issues like affordable housing, crime and health care.hey also include changes like new parking restrictions, how companies can automatically renew your subscriptions, and even protections for actors in hollywood against i. but let's look at two of the laws affecting workers if you're an independent contractor. one new law gives you extra protections. first, there must be a contract in place when hiring someone services in exchange for $250 or more. and those workers must be paid on or before the date in that contract. or if there's no date specified, no later than 30 days after a service is completed. now, another law includes the expansion of paid sick leave for agricultural employees. it allows these workers to use paid sick days to prevent the effects of working outdoors in dangerous conditions, such as smoke or in extreme heat. now, at 630, we'll

focus on some of the changes that you are going to need to know about if you own or drive a car here in california. andre, back to you. >> all right, amanda, thank you. now to this. people from both sides of the political aisle are paying tribute to the late president jimmy carter. president biden said, quote, the world lost a remarkable leader. president elect trump wrote on his truth social platform, quote, challenges jimmy carter faced as president came at a pivotal time for our country, and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all americans. for that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude. end quote. carter went from georgia state senate to governor and then the presidency from 1977 to 1981. accomplishments included the camp david accords for the middle east and nuclear arms treaty with the soviet union. >> i've had a wonderful life. i've had thousands of friends and i've had an exciting and adventurous and gratifying existence. >> carter lived a life of charity and nonprofit work. he

built homes with habitat for humanity and taught sunday school twice a month. he will lie in state in both georgia and washington, dc before his national funeral, january 9th. vice president harris posted on social media, quote, our world is a better place because of president carter. his life and legacy continue to inspire me and will inspire generations to come. san francisco congresswoman and former house speaker nancy pelosi posted a photo of her shaking hands with carter. pelosi wrote, quote, our nation and our world has lost a leader who embodied dignity and decency, grace and goodness. >> and andre. don't forget to download the fox local app. you'll find out much more about jimmy carter's life and legacy. it is free on your smartphone as well as on all of your streaming devices. our time now 537. early today in south korea, a top law enforcement agency asked a court for a warrant to arrest impeached president yoon suk yeol. it's part of the government's growing investigation into whether his martial law decree on december

3rd amounted to a rebellion. it only lasted a couple of hours, but south korean prosecutors claim that declaring martial law was an abuse of power that created political turmoil and rattled the world's financial markets. >> meantime, the investigation continues into south korea's worst aviation disaster in nearly 30 years. the passenger plane that had taken off from bangkok, bursting into flames after it skidded off the runway at an airport in southwestern south korea yesterday. 179 people were killed. two passengers survived. investigators say the landing area of the jeju passenger plane failed while the pilot was attempting to land. they say a bird strike may have caused the crash, but several questions still remain. >> aviation experts are scratching their heads on this one. there is video which seems to indicate they lost their right engine. >> yesterday's crash happened at the main airport in muan, a city about 180 miles south of seoul.

>> our time now. 538. here at home, we're learning that three bart police officers are expected to recover after being hospitalized for major injuries after a crash in oakland saturday morning. it happened saturday afternoon near the west oakland bart station at seventh and mandela parkway. it involved two bart police vehicles and a medical supply van. a fourth person was taken to the hospital, but we're still trying to get an update on their condition. >> well, the gas leak in san leandro that forced thousands of evacuations are still being investigated to figure out the exact cause. this morning, the first call about the smell of gas received by pg and e around 4 a.m. yesterday morning, and within 30 minutes, crews responded. but it took almost five hours to cap off the gas line. a mandatory evacuation order issued for dozens of neighborhoods near washington avenue and llewellyn boulevard near interstate 880. around 10 a.m, the fire department gave the all clear for residents to go back home. >> we've learned is it's a six

>> all right. thank you so much, sal. 601 is your time today. the nation is looking back at the life of former president jimmy carter. >> it's quite a legacy. the former president died yesterday at the age of 100 at his home in plains, georgia. jimmy carter was known and will be remembered as a humanitarian and a peacemaker. back in 1977, carter became the nation's 39th president, and in 2019, he became the oldest living president in american history. he left an indelible mark on countless people, including many people right here in the bay area. >> i think he did a solid job as president and like i said, highly respected man, excellent as a president. >> he really showed a lot of integrity, personal integrity and honesty. and he lived his life in that same way. >> and jimmy carter was best known for his commitment to environmental issues, as well as his dedication to the organization habitat for humanity after he left office.

>> former president jimmy carter helped put habitat for humanity on the map, then turned it into his passion project back in 2013. the former president was in oakland, where he helped build 12 new homes in the brookfield court development. for each house the carters helped build, the couple spent time with the new homeowner and left behind a signed bible. >> i feel like we always get more out of it than we than we put into it. although we work sometimes very hard and overwork on occasion. >> the former president and his wife have made a sizable impact on habitat for humanity. as we've mentioned, they helped build more than 4300 homes through the organization, some of them right here in the east bay, where former president carter and his wife served on the board of directors for habitat of humanity. >> and they received the presidential medal of freedom in 1999 for their work that was never ending. >> this couple has had such a productive and prolific post-white house life. i think

they'll both be remembered more as the philanthropists and the activists and their post-white house career than they will for some of the things that happened during their time in the white house. >> and on top of all of the volunteer work of the carters, president carter also helped to make furniture and raise money for habitat for humanity. >> well, leaders across the u.s. have paid their respects to the president and the former president and the legacy he leaves behind, including here in the bay area. bay area congresswoman barbara lee posted a photo to social media of herself with both rosalynn and jimmy carter years ago, says, quote, i'm deeply saddened to hear of the passing of president jimmy carter. he displayed a lifelong commitment to global peace, justice and human rights. he inspired me and countless others. end quote. we have a lot more coverage on the death of former u.s. president jimmy carter on the fox local app, on top of his impact on the bay area. you can see coverage from his home state of georgia as well. the fox local app free on your phone and smart tv. all right, andre time.

could lead to hypothermia. people older than 65 years old are most at risk for those types of dangers. and according to the city, of the 197 homeless deaths this year, more than a quarter were senior citizens older than 65. santa clara county does offer a handful of warming centers in different cities in san jose. most libraries and community centers also operate as warming centers. moving forward, mayor matt mehan says he wants to open about 1000 managed safe spaces in the next year in the city. he's also made pushes to build hundreds of tiny homes and portable homes, all in hopes. we're live this morning in downtown san jose. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, james thank you. time now, 606. at several oakland gas stations, employees are cleaning up after a string of robberies. they happened early sunday morning. at least four gas stations were hit before 7 a.m, including a gas

evacuation order was issued for dozens of neighborhoods near washington avenue and llewellyn boulevard near interstate 880. around 10 a.m, the fire department gave the all clear for residents to go back home. >> we've learned is it's a six inch gas line that is in the flood control panel of washington and lewelling. the positive news is because of the rain, where the gas leak is actually underwater. so it is fuming from under the water, which has helped us in the amount of evacuation we've had to do. >> more than 12,000 people were under the temporary evacuation orders, and power was shut off to several hundred homes, but it has since been restored. >> all right. our time is 608. there's new information this morning about this weekend's crash in oakland. it involved two bart police cars and a medical supply van. now, bart says police officers were heading to the scene of a life threatening drug overdose when their patrol cars crashed saturday afternoon near the west

with that clear sky comes the cooler air mass. with the passage of yesterday's area of low pressure that promised some rain showers. and it sure did deliver. look at the highlighted lavender shade. that's where we currently have a freeze warning in effect. that's primarily for napa and sonoma counties. and this is vitally important because we had the rain on top of the grapes and now we have the cold temperatures. same drill in throughout monterey county. and then we have a frost advisory for much of the bay area. but these temperatures again aren't as bad as what we anticipate later on. tonight. it is 36 degrees in santa rosa, 38 degrees in walnut creek. and keep in mind, also with the rain from yesterday, there's still a lot of ponding on the roadways and also on the on and off ramps as you're getting on to the freeway and with the cold temperatures that could cause some black ice, primarily around highway 17 and throughout the santa cruz mountains and highway

39. visibility now an issue due to areas of fog, a quarter of a mile visibility in throughout livermore, and this extends all the way into the pleasanton area right around stanley road and five mile visibility in santa rosa. less than that substantially in napa valley, and nine mile visibility around the seashore. so this area of low pressure may cause us a couple of raindrops, but not until thursday. until then, we have a few high, thin clouds skirting across the horizon. let's go ahead and track all this with our futurecast. here we go. we do have an area of fog or two and then that blows out of the area. a few high, thin clouds drift across the area. and then we're going to feature what you can anticipate on your new year's eve for your fireworks display. that's coming up in a matter of minutes, gang. >> all right, roberta, thank you. time now, 615. here are some of the stories we're following for you today. right now, a frost advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. and then tonight, that advisory will come back along with the freeze warning. the national weather

flames at an airport yesterday. the two survivors of that crash were both members of the flight crew. they were rescued from the tail section of the plane. this is south korea's deadliest plane crash in more than 20 years. >> looking back at the legacy of former president jimmy carter after his passing yesterday, january 9th will be the national day of mourning in honor of carter and the day of his funeral. carter will lie in state in the capitol rotunda next month, leading to his public funeral, which will be held at the washington national cathedral. carter was america's longest living president. he passed away yesterday at his home in plains, georgia. he's being remembered today, both for his time in office and for his impactful work post-presidency. fox's brooke astor looks back at the life of the 39th president. good morning to you, rebecca. >> andre. good morning. jimmy carter's death comes after he spent almost two years in hospice. and in october, he turned 100, becoming the only u.s. president to do so. >> jimmy carter stands as a

held 52 american embassy employees hostage in tehran. the hostages weren't released until the day he left office, months after losing his reelection bid to ronald reagan. carter eventually returned to georgia and turned his efforts to promoting world peace that included a trip to cuba in 2002, the first american president to visit in more than 40 years. later that year, the former president won the nobel peace prize. carter's life was also centered around charity. building homes for the poor with the habitat for humanity project. president carter remained active well into his 90s, teaching sunday school in georgia twice a month. he left hospice at age 99 last year to bid his wife of nearly eight decades farewell at her funeral service. public observances will also be held in atlanta before jimmy carter is buried next to his wife at their family plot in plains, georgia. david andre, back to you. >> truly a life of service for

clark. welcome to monday, december 30th. roberta is here. roberta, why didn't you tell me how cold it was going to get? i was just outside. >> yeah. >> dave clark. >> no rain, but it's cold. >> weather station. give it to me. go ahead. >> yeah. no, rain is just cold. that cold cuts right on through. >> that's right. and we have a freeze warning in effect for portions of napa and sonoma county and all the way into monterey county until about 9:00 this morning. then it goes back into effect tonight. same drill with the frost advisory in effect right now until 9:00. and then another frost advisory for most of the bay area this evening. live weather. camera boy, not a cloud in the sky. clear skies there, but we are having some issues with fog right now. it is 36 degrees in santa rosa, 38 in napa, 44 tri valley, and also in hayward, back into the castro valley, fremont and union city. 47 degrees now in downtown san jose. visibility restricted to about a quarter of a mile near the airport in livermore. five

mile visibility in santa rosa. temperatures today 55 to 60 degrees. how low will it go? we'll talk about that next time around. but sal castaneda, i got to tell you, i got off work on friday night at 1130. i was driving home, and you could really see the impaired drivers out there. suggestions for new year's eve? >> well, if you're like me, you stay home. you stay home. i realize that staying home is not you know, a lot of people don't want to do that. so just designate a driver and have a you know, what i did when i would go out is just, you know, jump in an uber and have somebody else drive. this is a look at the bay bridge. you can see that traffic is moving along very well. no major issues. if you are driving onto any of the other bay area bridges, they look very good. and right now traffic is light. i think, you know, people are going to work, but a significant number of people are working from home and some just have this week off. 632 let's go back to andre. >> thank you so much, sal.

people from both sides of the political aisles are paying tribute to the late president jimmy carter. president biden said the world lost a remarkable leader, while president elect trump wrote in his trump social platform, quote, challenges jimmy faced as president came at a pivotal time for our country, and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all americans. for that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude. carter went from georgia state senate to governor and then the presidency from 1977 to 1981. accomplishments included the camp david accords for the middle east and the nuclear arms treaty with the soviet union. >> i've had a wonderful life. i've had thousands of friends and i've had an exciting and adventurous and gratifying existence. >> carter lived a life of charity and nonprofit work. he built homes with habitat for humanity and taught sunday school twice a month. he will lie in state in both georgia and washington, d.c, before his national funeral on january 9th. >> and andre, former president carter will be buried alongside

his wife, rosalynn, at their longtime home in plains, georgia. the carters were married for 77 years, the longest presidential marriage in u.s. history. throughout his presidency, rosalynn was her husband's biggest supporter and confidante. he championed her work as well, and after leaving the white house, the couple devoted their lives to service. they once talked about how they stayed connected even when things got tough. >> give each other space and we try to do things together. >> we also make up and give each other a kiss before we go to sleep. >> at the carter's home was deeded to the national park service. the grounds will be turned into a museum. now, next thursday, january 9th, the state funeral for jimmy carter will be held in washington, dc. president biden made the announcement, and that will also be a national day of mourning. officials of the carter center

in georgia public observances will be held in atlanta and in washington, and a funeral service and burial for the former president will be held in plains, georgia, the hometown of jimmy carter. >> all right. your time at 634 on this monday morning with the new year comes new laws in california. and there are a few new ones we want to highlight. ktvu amanda is here in the studio to focus on some of the new car related laws. good morning amanda. >> well, there are several new laws that will take effect in 2025 addressing issues like affordable housing, crime and health care. they also include changes to how companies can automatically renew subscriptions, whether libraries can ban books, and even protections for actors in hollywood against artificial intelligence. but let's look at two of the laws affecting drivers. the first is about parking near a crosswalk, and it's known as the daylighting law. starting on january 1st, you will no longer be able to park within 20ft of an unmarked or marked crosswalk. the goal is

to improve visibility for pedestrians and potentially reduce the number of accidents. more than 40 other states have some kind of day lighting law like this. now, you likely won't get a ticket for this on wednesday. there is a 60 day grace period. some cities, like san francisco, have been giving out warnings already, but by march, drivers will face a fine and those fines will vary from city to city and whether the curb has been painted red. but it will be around 40 to $100. and of course, this will also remove some parking spots. now, another new law eliminates what's known as the locked door loophole, which requires prosecutors to prove that car doors were locked when someone broke in. so this law makes it easier for prosecutors to address auto burglary and thefts. at 730, we'll focus on some of the new laws affecting workers, specifically freelance workers and agricultural workers. dave, back to you. >> all right, amanda, thank you. time now. 636. the family of an 84 year old woman in santa rosa,

very angry and frustrated after she was scammed out of more than a half million dollars. family members say she received a text message claiming her apple devices had been hacked. then she received several phone calls from people claiming to be from the irs and wells fargo bank. the woman ended up handing over $600,000 to strangers. the family says the woman's losses included thousands of dollars worth of gold bars and rare coins. consumer protection groups say scams like this are pretty common, especially during the holidays, and they say we should all be very suspicious if we're contacted by someone claiming to be from a bank or the irs. >> all right, let's get over to sal right now in the traffic center with a little more on the roads. it's looking pretty smooth here, at least at the bay bridge toll plaza. >> yeah. you know, andre and dave, a lot of people have this

week off. and even though not everyone does. but i think enough people have this week off to let you know that we're not going to have a big commute on the week between christmas and new year's. a lot of people are skiing or whatever they do, and people who do have to go to work actually have heard from some of them saying, actually, like working this week because i can get to work, i can get it done, and i don't have to deal with the commute, and then i can take a week off some other time instead of this week. so, you know, you know, people are different. but if you are going to work right now, you're getting exactly what you might think. not a lot going on. there was a crash southbound 280 right near the eastmoor exit. it's on the shoulder. it's not causing a big delay. and on the peninsula we look pretty good, including all the drives to the airport at 638. let's talk about today's weather. here is roberta gonzalez, who i know cooked up a huge meal at some point during the holidays. >> i haven't stopped cooking in days. yeah, thanks. good morning everybody, and i hope you got

your holiday cooking, going and baking as well. and warming up the home because it is cold outside. visibility is unlimited at this hour. we do have cold air mass settling in with the passage of yesterday's storm that brought us ample rain showers. see that lavender shaded area? napa and sonoma counties. also monterey bay county, where we do have freeze warnings in effect for there until 9 a.m. then these freeze warnings go back into effect later on tonight, when it will be even colder. frost advisory for much of the bay area this morning until 9 a.m, and then it goes back into effect again later on tonight. now it will be colder tonight than what it is right now at 36 degrees in santa rosa. ten degrees warmer than that at this hour. very mild in fairfield at 46. temperatures in the 30s and 40s. you do need that jacket. heading on out the door. and then you introduce fog into the pitcher. quarter mile visibility at this hour, right around the airport in livermore, backing through stanley road as you make tracks into pleasanton. five mile visibility improving

in santa rosa. deteriorating in napa at half a mile, and the visibility has improved now around the seashore and half moon bay. so we do have this area of low pressure. boy, is that impressive. but that's going to bank off this ridge of high pressure that's trying to build in and take its rain showers into the pacific northwest. we will be the recipient of some high, thin clouds. what i want to share with you is jumping ahead to tomorrow. sun up at 724 for the most part, clear skies. and then notice the clouds do increase, so it won't be as cold on new year's eve as it is going to be tonight. but it will not obscure the visibility for the fireworks display. 55 to 60. today day, we'll have the five day forecast featuring the first day of 2025 coming up. >> all right, roberta, thank you. time now, 640. bay area businesses are feeling the impact of the bird flu. we'll tell you how a donut shop in the east bay says it's navigating the very expensive egg prices and shortages to make sure it

morning quarterback. week 17 of the national football league brought us a holiday week full of highlights. the washington commanders gave their fans a treat this sunday, punching their ticket to the postseason in dramatic fashion at the end of regulation. the commanders and eagles were tied up at 24 apiece. then, in overtime, commanders quarterback jayden daniels drove down the field and connected with his tight end for the game winning touchdown with a 30 to 24 win. the commanders secured their playoff spot as a wild card team. we have some running back highlights in today's monday morning quarterback. the eagles saquon barkley joined an elite list on sunday, becoming just the ninth player in nfl history to eclipse 2000 rushing yards in a single season. barkley finished yesterday's game against the dallas cowboys with 167 total rushing yards. the eagles also clinched the nfc east title with that 41 to 7 win. with just one game to go, barkley is just 101 yards away from breaking the league's 40 year old single season rushing record. the

minnesota vikings held off the green bay packers in a primetime nfc north rivalry game. minnesota led by as much as 17 in the second half, but in the final quarter, green bay tried to mount a comeback, scoring 14 to make it close, but not close enough. 27 to 25 is the final score. the packers are still in good shape for the playoffs. the nfc's top seed will be on the line in the final week of the regular season, when the vikings take on the detroit lions. not an easy catch, but anchor is 645. >> this morning, we're remembering the passing of the oldest living u.s. president at 100 years old. jimmy carter won the nobel peace prize in 2002 for his decades of working, searching for peaceful solutions to international conflicts, advancing democracy and human rights, and promoting economic and social development. carter also worked on environmental initiatives around the world, including california. here are some of the new laws that are going into effect for drivers starting in 2025. on january 1st, you will no longer be able

to park within 20ft of an unmarked or marked crosswalk. another law eliminates what's known as the locked door loophole. this law will make it easier for prosecutors to address auto burglary and thefts. early yesterday morning, thieves hit at least four gas stations in oakland. they include a gas station on high street, a car wash on broadway and am pm on shattuck, and a shell station on fifth street. an employee at one of the stores says at least eight people smashed through the front door and unsuccessfully tried to steal an atm and a frost advisory, now in effect until 9 a.m. and that advisory will be back tonight, as well as a freeze warning. the national weather service says the cold weather will be especially dangerous for homeless and unsheltered people in the south bay. san jose mayor matt mehan wants to open a 1000 safe living spaces in 2025 to help people living in extreme weather. >> all right. our time is 646. a number of cases of stomach virus are surging in parts of the country this winter, and the experts say it is very contagious. the cdc says there

were 91 cases of the norovirus during the week of december 5th, up from 69 cases during the last week of november and double the highest number of cases between 2021 and 2024. the norovirus spreads when infected people touch food or other surfaces. >> it is a virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea. so a lot of time when people talk about having the stomach flu, they don't have influenza, they don't have the flu, they actually have norovirus. so we do expect an increase in cases as winter progresses. and the holidays usually kind of feel that transmission. >> now, senior citizens and children are the most vulnerable to serious symptoms from the norovirus. and to avoid that virus, the cdc says wash your hands often, at least. 20s. wash laundry in very hot water. disinfect any contaminated surfaces and thoroughly clean fruits, vegetables and

shellfish. and if you do happen to get the norovirus, stay at home for at least two days after the symptoms stop. >> well, egg prices are climbing as grocery stores face a shortage due to salmonella and bird flu outbreaks. both big and small businesses nationwide are caught in this crunch. oakland's donut savant is among the food shops struggling with this egg shortage. the bakery has been creative in finding eggs or other items in low supply, a practice workers learned well during the pandemic, going all over the bay area for fresh ingredients. >> sometimes if we can't get it in the east bay, we're going to the peninsula sometimes or we're going to san francisco. being a small business, you've seen so many disappear and we're we're ahead of it. >> the u.s. bureau of labor and statistics says in california, the cost of a dozen large eggs increased $0.78 during one week this month to $8.97. egg prices will remain high throughout at least early 2025. >> our time now 648. in oakland, more than 60 small black owned

businesses received a financial boost from oakland's african american chamber of commerce. the organization gave 63 businesses $1,000 each. the chamber of commerce says these micro grants are supposed to encourage growth and sustainability, or just fill some immediate needs the small businesses may have right now. the president of the oakland african american chamber of commerce says these entrepreneurs are essential to oakland's economic and cultural fabric. >> all right. time now is 649. back up with us this morning. hey, sal. >> all right, andre, thank you very much. andre and dave. we do have that little flashing icon southbound 280 at the sullivan exit there. there was a crash, but it's not really causing a big backup. i want to show you a live picture. this is pretty much what we are dealing with. a lighter than usual commute on this week between christmas and new year's. of course, we have the new year's holiday coming up, so a lot of people just

don't make it into the office. even if they're working, they might be working from home. that's something that's relatively new. but even even before we could work from home, this week has always been light. so there's not a lot going on. and we like it that way. 649. here's someone who's always working. it's roberto gonzalez. >> you know, so the last time we were on, you were asking me about cooking. and yeah, i do a lot of cooking, but guess what? i thought about you so much saturday night because i went to a restaurant, and i thought, this says sal all over it. >> what? tell me which restaurant. >> lemon and redwood city. okay. peruvian. and it knocked my socks off. you know, it's a great restaurant when you're still salivating. two days later, right? >> thank you for the recommendation. >> let's go any time. hey, everybody. good morning to you. official sunrise is at 724. we're getting a glimpse of clear skies over san francisco this morning. and let's go ahead and spell it out for you. we're beginning the morning with a frost advisory and freeze warning. a few clouds later this

afternoon, and then it will be a little bit on the brisk side, but you have the abundance of sunshine. no rain in your forecast tonight. it's going to be colder than this morning and temperatures will dip into the 20s. right now it's 26 degrees. actually it's 36 degrees dropping down to 28 degrees tonight in santa rosa. pardon me. there 39 degrees in walnut creek and in alamo backing through danville and 44 in hayward, backing through castro valley. good morning to you in belmont. you're in the mid 40s. visibility down to a quarter of a mile due to fog from livermore into pleasanton. also deteriorating conditions right now in napa and five miles holding steady in santa rosa. look at this. this is going to put a chill in your bones here. we've got 21 degrees colder this morning than santa rosa. 15 degrees colder this morning in livermore. the winds are under ten miles per hour. good deal there. we'd be talking about a wind chill factor, and it will be a brisk day with temperatures

55 to 60, a few high, thin clouds racing across the horizon. i want to advance to tomorrow at this time because we will notice a few increasing clouds. we'll call it partly cloudy, nothing obscuring visibility, but it won't be as cold for revelers tomorrow night as it will be tonight. and get this. tonight's colder than it was last night. all right. 57 degrees today. a daytime high in santa rosa. 60 in san jose. again, 55 to 60. but that frost advisory goes into effect tonight. freeze warning for the napa valley and sonoma valley. temperatures again. 20s, 30s and 40s. full five day forecast coming up in our 7:00 hour. >> to be honest, i only got sent one family. once i got sent that one family, i was like, yeah, i'll do it for them. >> giving the gift of a new family with a bay area woman says, inspired her to become a surrogate mother. and we continue our coverage about the death of former president jimmy carter. how he left a lasting legacy of compassion with habitat for humanity right here

in the bay area. [music]

an end of the year ritual attracted big crowds to the san francisco asian art museum. [music] it's quite a sight. the buddhist bell ringing ceremony is a way to symbolically clear the slate for the new year. the temple bell used yesterday was made in rural japan back in the year 1532, almost 500 years ago. is it one of the rare items a museum brings out from its archives to use for this event? groups of volunteers came up. they rang the bell exactly 108 times. >> it's an opportunity. it's open to everybody, and it's a great way to say goodbye to the past and say hello to the optimistic future. >> now, yesterday was the 39th year the museum hosted the event for the community. the idea is ringing. that bell allows people

to leave behind any bad experiences or regrets, or any lingering bad luck. our time is 656. furry animals dominated this weekend's holiday movie. box office. the video game sequel, sonic the hedgehog three, took the top spot with $38 million. it was followed closely by lion king and the follow up mufasa, which took in 37 million. but mufasa won the box office. when the numbers get extended to include christmas. the vampire movie nosferatu brought in 21 million over the weekend, and the bob dylan biopic a complete unknown brought in $11 million. well, happening today, a ukrainian ballet company in san francisco, bringing the magic of the nutcracker to the palace of the fine arts. this performance was created by the principal dancer of the national opera of ukraine. after he lost his home in 2014 when russia took control

didn't know i was going to work with them. so i just knew that, like, it was never my baby. i feel like it's kind of like a full circle moment. it's kind of just like, fulfilling for me. >> now, the founder of the company surrogate first started the agency after going through it himself with his wife in order to have his kids. jeffrey hughes says on average, surrogates receive about 50 to $55,000 for base pay, but that can go up to $100,000, depending on the state and some other factors. mr. hughes says he finds most surrogates don't do it for the money. instead, they do it to help families in need. well, the oakland police department paid honor and tribute to officer twan lay, who was killed while responding to a break in one year ago when social media. the oakland police department wrote that officer lay was a dedicated public servant who devoted his life to protecting and serving our community. officer lay was shot and killed while responding to a burglary at a cannabis dispensary. the police say he was working undercover in an
