president trump today. >> what bay area lawmakers are saying about the moment that is expected to be very different than four years ago? many students across the bay area are returning to the classroom after their winter break. today, the new laws schools will need to figure out how to apply. now that we are in a new year and a frustrating season for the 40 niners fans, finally over what's next for the team after another. >> loss- [music] 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 monday morning january 6th. steve is here. he'll tell you about the bay area fog this morning. >> we're sitting above the fog. >> yeah i know it's almost like a june pattern here looking at the fog coming in, but what's interesting is there is a little bit of fog on the coast usually this time of year. that's not the case. southern california has been stuck in the june gloom. believe it or not, they

can't get any rain. but they have a lot of fog and we have a layer of fog there. and that's prompted a definite advisory for fog. 30s 40s on the temps. some areas clear, others dealing with a lot of fog, mainly north, but i'm also including solano county and parts of the peninsula and san mateo coast. there have been reports of thick fog there as well. once we get through that fog then we're good to go with hazy sunshine. it's a manic monday, but that fog makes it tough. but after that we'll be good to go. no rain this week, maybe around the 17th or 18th. next hint of any rain. but highs today in the 60s. well, sometimes when you're stuck in traffic, you just got to let it go because you can be just like you can't go anywhere. so how is it out there? >> you cannot go anywhere, that's for sure. steve, on some of these commutes. and i see what you did there. you can see traffic is moving along okay. however, southbound 880 is getting a little bit slow traffic. now we have a crash in fremont, southbound 880, in the vicinity of fremont stevenson. now, it's not actually causing a big delay yet, so we'll see. but

you know, we'll let you know if that becomes a troubled commute. no problems on the peninsula. i do want to mention the bay bridge is back to its old self. it is backed up almost to the maze and the metering lights are on. 701. let's go back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal. the winter holidays are behind us. many kids are headed back to school this week, and with the start of 2025, there are some new laws. california school districts will have to start working on this year. ktvu sally rasmus joins us now with a look at a few of them. ali. >> well, here at pleasant hill middle school, the school day starts just a little while from now. the students are back in session after a two week winter break. but there are some new laws that schools across the state will have to start thinking about and working on implementing. one of them has to do with homework. so let's start with that. it's called the healthy homework act. it was passed and signed by the governor this past fall. it calls for school districts, charter schools and county education offices to set rules

and policies about how many hours of homework to give students per day, and even whether homework is graded and whether it should be optional or not. school districts and county education offices are encouraged to follow the homework guidelines that will be set out by the state, which is supposed to come up with them by january of next year. it applies to all public and charter schools. there's also a new law about banning book bans. it applies to all libraries in california that receive public funding, including school libraries. it prohibits the entities overseeing those libraries, either a district or school board, from banning books because of the views, themes, or points in them. it also prohibits the firing of any librarian who refuses to remove a book because of its content. a new law has to do with fentanyl. education in high schools. all california high school students have to take a health education class to graduate. a new law now requires fentanyl education be included in those courses. that means teachers would have to explain what fentanyl is, the risks of using it, and maybe most importantly, how to detect

when drugs may be laced with fentanyl through the use of test strips or spotting signs of an overdose, and learning how to reverse an overdose with naloxone, schools have the next year to figure out how they plan to incorporate those that curriculum into their health courses, and then in 2026, they will have to start teaching it. live in pleasant hill ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, ali thank you. time now 704. happening today, governor newsom will preview some key elements of the state budget. while the governor's office hasn't released any specifics. governor newsom is expected to talk about the importance of technology and clean energy on creating jobs and boosting the economy. while he's in the central valley, he talked before about cutting some state operations, eliminating unfilled state jobs, improving government efficiency, and also reducing nonessential spending. today, the governor will also give a progress report on the high

speed rail project. >> the house and senate convened for a joint session of congress today to certify the electoral vote. victory of president elect trump. now here's a live look at e capitol. the joint session is scheduled to begin at 10:00 this morning. that's when vice president kamala harris will read the electoral votes aloud. now it comes four years since the violent insurrection at the capitol. congress passed the electoral count reform act in 2022 to prevent future efforts to try to overturn election results. reforms include clarifying that the vice president does not have the power to overturn election results, which is something then-president donald trump wanted from his vice president, mike pence. it's also harder to challenge the state electors. 20% of both the house and senate have to agree. previously, just one member of each chamber was needed. congresswoman nancy pelosi was asked about trump questioning the 2020 election. >> he will be clearly, we will

be accepting the results of the electoral college, so he should be triumphant about that. but to be still trying to fight a fight that he knows he lost is, is really sad. >> congress will count the electoral votes from 50 states and the district of columbia. >> well, president biden just announced today he's banning new offshore oil and gas drilling across more than 6635 million acres of federal waters. this ban covers most of u.s. coastal waters. that includes the west and east coast and large parts of the gulf of mexico and alaska's bering sea. president biden will leave office in just two weeks from now, and the oil drilling ban is widely seen as a last minute effort to block any possible action by the incoming trump administration to expand offshore drilling.

>> hundreds of millions of people are facing a deep freeze as a polar vortex moves across much of the united states. already, there has been a lot of snow and ice across the country, and temperatures are expected to keep dropping as extremely cold air from the north pole drops down into the u.s. forecasters say millions across the northeast and as far south as florida could see temperatures 12 to 25 degrees colder than normal. but some people are embracing the snow. >> she has been waiting for snow for two plus years now, and it's really fun. >> play in and it looks so beautiful. >> i thought i was gonna catch the snow before it came, but i didn't and i couldn't fall back asleep. so here we are faced a little numb. >> driving conditions are set to be pretty rough across the country. hundreds of drivers were stranded in missouri and multiple accidents were reported in virginia, indiana, kansas and

kentucky. >> time now 707 suspects have been arrested in the south bay after police shut down a unique crime operation where thieves tried to steal more than $1,200 in meat from a safeway store in cupertino. this photo was posted by the santa clara county sheriff's department, showing what ktvu counted to be. more than two dozen packages of ribs, roasts and other prime cuts of meat. a safeway employee in cupertino says the alleged thieves were trying to escape with the stolen meat, and that employee wrote down the license plate of the getaway car, then called the police, who captured the suspects red handed. >> how the #### they got out of there with that much? >> it's not right. i mean, that's the kind of thing that has to get passed on to the consumer, right? >> some people have a necessity, and it's harder for them to meet that. but i do feel like this is like going overboard. >> both suspects were booked into the santa clara county

jail. >> short term rental property owners in marin county have until july to apply for a new business license. now, this is part of the county's new regulations limiting the number of short term rentals to 1200. county supervisors worry that these short term rentals are hindering the supply of affordable housing and driving up housing costs, particularly in west marin counties. the communities that is, the marin independent journal reports. applicants for new licenses must fulfill requirements including ensuring water safety and trash removal in the homes. >> time is now 709 the 49ers season. it's over now. after another frustrating loss, this time to the arizona cardinals. the cardinals beat the 49ers 47 to 25. in arizona, quarterback brock purdy was on the sidelines injured. the 49ers lost seven of their last eight games. they finished the season in last place in the nfc west, their worst record since 2018. the defending nfc champions will

also miss the playoffs for the first time in four years. >> we've been processing it ready to finish this up. trying to finish it with a win. didn't get that done today, but i'm excited to get to this offseason and figure out how to not be in this situation again. >> now, running back isaac guerendo was hurt in that loss. up next for the 49ers, four of the players are going to the pro bowl and the nfl draft is in april. they will have the 11th pick. >> we are coming up on 710 in the morning right now. we do see the typical commute pattern beginning to reemerge in that fog. a bay bridge backed up almost to the maze. not all commutes are full strength, though some seem still a little lighter than they would be on a typical weekday, but not a lot. oops. looks like my 880 camera. i wonder what's wrong with that camera. we'll get back to it. i do want to show you that highway four camera or highway four traffic is going to be slow as you drive westbound. i'm not

sure what's going on with my system, so let's just toss it back to the desk. >> all right, sal, thank you. our time is now 710. president biden is flying to new orleans today following the new year's day violence there. what he'll do while he's in new orleans, and what the fbi is now looking into as they investigate that deadly attack. >> plus, he's ready to go. he was on his way here and he's like, i want to be the first in line. i'm going to be the first in line. we have to get there. >> crab season is back in the bay area. people are excited. we're also hearing fro fishermen who are exc ed

13. some of the stories we're following for you this morning. two more fire stations in oakland are closing today. the closures are part of the city's budget balancing strategy. station 25, in the oakland hills above joaquin miller road and station 28, in chabot park, will be closed for six months in total. three stations will be temporarily closed to help the city deal with a multi-million dollar budget deficit. president biden and first lady jill biden are visiting new orleans today to meet with the families affected by the new year's day terror attacks. the governor of louisiana is also declaring days of mourning for each of the 14 people killed. the fbi investigation continues, as the

city leaders say they are turning their focus to tightening security, and several new laws are going into effect in 2025, including some that impact our children's education. one of them, dubbed the healthy homework act, will set rules limiting the amount of homework given to students each day. the new law asks school leaders and school boards to consider the students physical and mental health when making decisions about homework. it will also set rules for how homework is graded. the state is supposed to create the guidelines by january of next year. >> our time now 715. new year is off to a great start for bay area seafood lovers. the start of the new commercial dungeness crab season off the northern california coast has finally begun. ktvu is james torres is right here in the studio, telling us the reaction from the crab lovers and from the people who make their living fishing for crab. >> james smiles. long time coming, dave. good morning to you. well, that long wait finally over for crab lovers in

northern california. the new fishing season began early yesterday morning, and that's after several weeks of delays. we'll show you san francisco's fisherman's wharf video here from yesterday morning, where crab lovers waited a long time near the water. that was even before the first boats docked with their catch. bay area crab fishermen say they are relieved to finally get back to work, make some money and get this new season underway. >> glad they came out and supported us. it's been waiting a long time. so yeah. credit card bills are racking up, so i'm happy just to work right now. as salmon season is closed, most fishermen are salmon and crab. salmon season has been closed for the last two years, and crowds have been shortening down to smaller and smaller. >> northern california's dungeness crab season normally starts in november, but the state pushed back opening day because they worried whales would get tangled in the crab fishing gear. similar delays affecting the crab season have happened several times during the last few seasons. >> they're staying longer because our ecosystem is

healthier. there's more food, so they're hanging out longer. but that could be problematic for people that are are fishing. >> harbormaster points out the new crab season is especially exciting at san francisco's fisherman's wharf. that's because his office set up a brand-new float designed to make buying crabs directly from the boats both safe and accessible. dungeness crab will now be in much higher stock at some of your favorite seafood restaurants. the 2025 crab season is scheduled to last until sometime in march or april. dave. >> all right. james. thank you. time now, 717. as james just told you, for bay area restaurants, the start of the new crab season is welcome news. the water bar down along san francisco's embarcadero is among the restaurants known for its upscale seafood dishes. the owner says dungeness crab is available most of the year, but there's nothing like getting crab fresh off the boat in san francisco and available for diners.

>> this is kind of the jewel of being local, so we're very excited that the whales have successfully made their way, and now we get to enjoy some of the crab, which is what everybody comes here for. >> indeed. and dungeness crab season will continue until the end of june. >> that is one of my favorite restaurants. >> mine too. >> the water bar. i know you've been there as well. yeah. beautiful views of the bay and the bridge lights. and now fresh crab. look at those. >> very nice. pam. >> oh my gosh. yeah. so it's a it's a i like i like that place too. yeah. it's a san francisco staple, right? crab. >> i really do like it. yeah. and, you know, all the seafood. but anyway, i know some people don't like seafood. all right, let's go out and take a look at highway four. starting there, because it is a little bit slow coming around the corner. this is typical of what we had last week. we didn't have any slow traffic along this stretch. people are still on vacation. i think people are back now. the bay bridge backed up almost to

the maze. fog is an issue. fog is an issue with some people. anyway, here at the bay bridge. it's not foggy everywhere. i'll let steve explain that. southbound 880. getting into hayward. even though there was a crash. now there's a crash near auto mall. it doesn't seem as long as the commutes can be, so that's at least a bright spot there. 718. let's bring steve back and talk about today's weather. >> back in the day, sal used to go to water bar, but now i'm just like, nah, i'm not driving that. you know, i'm that old crotchety guy now. >> you know what? there's a lot to be said about just staying home. steve. >> you understand? all right. thank you sir. we do have a dividing line that is just. i mean, take your pick. it's amazing how northern california has done pretty well. in southern california. cannot buy a drop. 4% of average since july 1st for san diego and los angeles, santa barbara and santa rosa doing quite well. redding's doing well. crescent city is doing well. healdsburg is doing

well. casadero and the russian river. both those two have had over 40in of rain. san francisco had rain last friday at 18/100, so we've gone only three days without including today. the next rain around the 17th of may, so about 12 days away. that's the first hint of anything. i will add that our good friend the gfs is driving in some pretty cold systems around. then we'll see the others are not on on board with that for san francisco. the records are interesting 73 on this date in 1887, and 33 for the low back in 1913. the record rainfall was in 1993, when they had just shy of two inches of rain. it's about the fog, though. two bits, one quarter mile or less. vacaville. fairfield. napa airport. novato, even sfo, half moon bay and then of course up to petaluma and santa rosa. so that's where the main focus continues to be to the north. but some pockets out in solano county. there it is. they've also finally included that parts of the east bay, solano county and along the san mateo coast. i knew they would just have to catch up after we

get a little bit of activity up in the mountains. see that little system skirting them right there? so maybe a few little snow showers up there. that system will crank up the wind for southern california tomorrow. i think we'll get wind in the hills tomorrow. not sure it'll make it to the surface, though. 30s and 40s, menlo park and mountain view at 39 degrees. a lot of 40s, though. atherton in there as well. los altos and then 50 at pillar point. there is a slight offshore breeze, so 30s, 20s up in the mountains. nothing changing there, although a few little isolated showers there today. little snow flurries or so. everything though goes up and over. so look for highs mainly in the 60s. unless you're stuck in that fog, you'll be in the 50s, sunny and mild probably the rest of the week looks like this, except for wind in the hills, you guys. >> all right. thank you. steve. it's a growing problem for california. the critical shortage impacting schools up and down the state. >> also, an unexpected side effect of remote work. why? private clubs with high entry fees have shifted t ir usiness

getting some new numbers from the chp on its maximum enforcement period over the holidays. the chp golden gate division says during christmas, it made 67 arrests. 55 were for dui. during the new year enforcement period, more than 800 citations were issued. 109 people were arrested. the chp reports no deadly crashes in its jurisdiction during these two enforcement periods. >> our time now. 724 new data

about the bay area's homeless population is out. it shows the homeless numbers have gone up since last year. the report by the department of housing and urban development finds the number of the homeless in the bay area grew 6% to about 38,000. those increases were consistent statewide and nationally. some progress was reported in some of the big cities. dallas and los angeles saw a drop in their homeless population. >> since the covid 19 pandemic, remote work has become the norm for many. now, people in the bay area are looking to work out of private clubs, inspiring many locations to combine their services in san francisco. some private clubs and secret societies will specialize in certain hobbies or communities, like the lgbtq plus community in socal, gravitas is looking to create a social club for entrepreneurs in beverly hills. >> instead of an exclusive club. i would more say it's an inclusive club. it's a club of

like minded people, inspiring people, aspirational people, movers and shakers. something that you would like to have a bar, sit down at a bar and have a drink with. [music] >> focus on this area for gravitas. >> the cost of joining is more than $5,000 a year, with an initiation fee of $2,500, but with that, members get access to a private restaurant, meeting rooms, a chauffeur service and even a recording studio. >> what do you think? >> it's a lot of money. >> that's a lot of money. well, the bad weather across the country starting to affect airports even where it's not freezing cold. we'll tell you why. snow in the midwest is causing delays here on the west coast. [music] >> and we're starting to see the effects of a budget shortfall in a bay area city. the crucial resources that will be temporarily cut later this morning.

it can be literally the difference between life and death. >> oakland firefighters at two fire stations are packing up this morning as those stations prepare to shut down, at least temporarily. what that's going

to mean for emergency response times for the people living near those fire stations. and remembering former president jimmy carter. we'll tell you where people can pay their respects today. and the plans this week for his memorial. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and welcome back to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it is monday morning january 6th. it is almost 730. >> yeah. >> garcia is not in today. she has the day off, so don't be late if it's back to work in school. steve. >> but my gosh, pam still on. >> i know, and there's some fog to slow you down as well. >> and it will if you hit that wall, that's for sure. south i think you're okay, but north, east and parts of the peninsula. no layer of fog there. once we get through, that will be all right. but it's a fog advisory until 10:00 here for some 30s 40s on the temps. many locations saying fog. others. no, no, no fog here. yet you go not far away and you can find some fog.

advisories are out now, including the san mateo coast. i knew they would. parts of the east bay, solano county, and definitely to the north. so watch out for that. but after we get through that mostly sunny here, it's a it's a manic monday with that fog. but once we get through that we're quiet here. looks good. in fact, the rest of the week no rain expected and we are looking for temperatures in the 60s. all right, sal said last week. i think on monday things will pick up and they have. >> we do have some of that traffic coming back. steve, let's go to the east bay. we had an earlier crash southbound 880 right near auto mall. that crash has been cleared, but it is going to be slow as you drive down. as you drive down toward the area there and continue into san jose. we also do have a look at 880 northbound. you can see that traffic is going to be okay. the bay bridge backed up almost to the maze. metering lights are on and fog is an issue. 731 let's get back to the

headlines. >> okay, sal. thank you. well, today, two oakland fire stations will close in an effort to help balance the city's budget. ktvu is amanda quintana is at one of the fire stations that will go dark this morning. amanda. >> well, this is a temporary closure that's supposed to last six months. but what it means is there's not going to be anyone inside firehouses like this one answering calls for help. so we've been watching this morning. this is station 28, one of the stations that's closing here on grass valley road, station 25, also closing on butters drive. they're having their final shifts end this morning, and firefighters inside are leaving, and there's nobody coming in to replace them. so just a few minutes ago, we saw firefighters moving the trucks out to park them at a fleet storage center for the time being, and the firefighters will also transfer to another station for at least six months. a third station, station ten, which is

already closed for renovations, will remain closed because of these cuts. the city also plans to revisit this issue in early february and close four more stations, which would bring the total to seven. >> the folks in city management decided that since it's not technically fire season, now is a good time to have the residents up above highway 13 wait a little longer. and that is the reality, unfortunately, is that there is no good fire station to close. it's all about response time. >> the fire chief says it might take longer, but first responders will still show up when you call 911. the firefighters union is planning a press conference later this morning to try to get the city to reverse this decision. the city, though, is facing a nearly $130 million budget deficit. and this is not the only area facing cuts. in a plan accepted on december 18th. there are also cuts to police and cultural arts

programs. the cuts to fire are expected to save about $5.5 million. now, tomorrow, there is a critical vote. the alameda county board of supervisors are voting to bring some much needed cash into the city. with the completion of the sale of the oakland coliseum, so that could change some things. again, that vote is tomorrow. live in oakland. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, amanda thank you. time now. 733 the oakland city council will meet today. they'll be talking about upcoming changes. the newly elected city council members will be sworn in. the city council will also elect a new council president. the current president and interim mayor, nikki fortunato bass, will now serve as an alameda county supervisor. the ney elected oakland city council president will serve as interim mayor until the special election is held for mayor on april 15th. >> the memorial services

continue for former president jimmy carter ahead of thursday's funeral at washington's national cathedral this morning. the body of america's 39th president is lying in repose at the carter presidential library in atlanta. here's a live look. you can see a number of people filing in, paying their respects. there are there's a line of mourners inside and outside as well. visitors will be allowed to pay their final respects until early tomorrow. many were willing to spend hours in line to honor the former georgia peanut farmer, who became america's longest living president when they were in atlanta. >> they were neighbors. >> he was just a humble guy and funny. i felt like even if it were an hour or two hours wait, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. >> well, tomorrow, former president carter's body will be taken to the navy memorial in washington, dc. that will be followed by a funeral procession to the united states capitol. now, all five living u.s.

presidents are expected to attend the funeral service in d.c. at the washington national cathedral. president biden is set to lead the tributes. he revealed last year that president carter has asked him to give a eulogy. also expected to attend is president elect donald trump, along with former presidents bill clinton, george w bush and barack obama. >> our time now. 736. today, president biden will meet with the families of victims and survivors of the new year's day terror attack in new orleans. earth cam is giving us this live look at bourbon street, not far from the scene of that deadly attack. an army veteran rammed a truck into a crowd of people, then opened fire, killing 14 people and injuring many others. the fbi is tracking the movements of the truck driver leading up to the attack. fbi agents say he traveled to egypt and canada in 2023, and visited new orleans at least twice in

recent months. he used smart glasses to record images and video while biking through the french quarter. the fbi also released video clips of him placing homemade explosives around bourbon street. >> we have not seen any indications of an accomplice in the united states, but we are still looking into potential associates in the u.s. and outside of our borders. >> the mayor of new orleans says she plans to increase security, especially for upcoming events like the super bowl and mardi gras. beginning today, the governor is declaring days of mourning for each of the 14 victims. >> a powerful winter storm is slamming the midwest and affecting flights as millions of holiday travelers across the country are still trying to head back home. 63 million americans were under some kind of weather advisory yesterday. forecasters say some areas may see their heaviest snowfall in ten years. in kansas, the slippery roads were too dangerous for most

people. the storm is also now moving across the mid-atlantic states. we talked to travelers at sfo who had to change their plans to try to beat that storm. >> there's a predicted to have like eight plus inches of snow. and so i actually had to change my travel plans. i was supposed to leave tomorrow, 1030 eastern time, but i moved it to today because i wanted to beat out the winter storm. >> well, so far today, there are ten cancellations and 67 delays at sfo. if you are traveling to the midwest or any areas where the snowstorm may hit, it is highly recommended that you check the weather forecast. check your flight information before you head to the airport. >> our time now 738. the teacher shortage problem in california. it's only getting worse for the second straight year, fewer people received teaching credentials for k through 12. the number of people who enrolled in teacher prep programs during the 2022 2023 school year also dropped 12%.

schools have started depending on intern credentials and emergency permits, to deal with the teacher shortage. >> all right. 738 is the time. back over to sal for a look at traffic. where are you starting bay bridge. >> i just want to show people that the old commute pattern is back, as we thought it would be on a monday. a lot of people are back to work. it is backed up almost all the way to the maze. metering lights are on. the commute, i would say, is about 85 to 90% of normal. some commutes have still stayed a little lighter by a little. i'm doing just a little. not a lot. southbound 880 is a little bit slow, so is 680. we've seen it much worse for sure. we've seen traffic on interstate 880 doing okay. as you drive past the coliseum and get into downtown oakland. so definitely people are back and we'll see what happens this week. i just think it's going to get even busier tomorrow and the next day. 739 go back to the desk.

>> all right. thank you. sal. well, after being delayed the start of the new commercial dungeness crab season has officially started off the northern california coast, and my mouth is watering. >> but we do want to hear from you. let's go over to james torres. you have our viewer poll of the day. >> we've been talking about it all weekend long. lots of smiles. finally, for folks who've been waiting this for a long time, this morning we are asking you, after weeks of delays, will you be enjoying the dungeness crab season in just a few minutes shy of 740? we're already getting some answers here. yes, i'm cracking away. about a third of you are saying that depends on the price that's taking the majority of the votes right now, at almost half of the poll. and yuck. absolutely not. no way. at 17%, where is the option that says i'm allergic so i can't. >> oh well that's true. that's me you're on for. >> i'm allergic. i can't do it. >> all shellfish. >> all shellfish. >> oh that's rough. no dungeness crab for me. that's rough, but all right. >> your mouth is watering. right. >> i'll take your share. >> yeah. all right. >> and my question for you is,

changes to some of the assistant coaches. after that disappointing year. the niners lost yesterday 47 to 24 against the cardinals and faced another big injury in that game as the team fears running back isaac guerendo may have hurt his mcl. san francisco will pick 11th in the nfl draft that's coming up in april. >> all right, so time is 745. here are some of the stories we're following this morning. you're looking at live pictures of washington, d.c, where later today, the house and the senate will meet for a joint session of congress to certify president elect trump's election victory. it's the first certification since rioters stormed the u.s.

give students per day in middle school and in high school, and even how homework is graded, or whether it should be optional by january of next year, the california department of education will have a set of homework guidelines. school districts are encouraged to follow them, but they can come up with their own policies. >> there are numerous studies that show that it's not even that helpful. so i would love a regulation so that my kid doesn't have two hours of homework when we get home. >> what now? along with that homework law, there's another law that has to do with fentanyl education. all california high school students have to take health education class to graduate. a new law now requires that teaching kids about fentanyl has to be included in those courses. that includes an explanation of what fentanyl is, the risks of using it, and how to detect when drugs may be laced with fentanyl, how to spot signs of an overdose, and what to do if to reverse an overdose using something called naloxone.

schools have the next year to incorporate those lessons into their existing health courses, and then they'll have to start teaching it next year. now, another new law that goes into effect this year requires all high schools to start offering an ethnic studies course. schools need to start offering it for the 2025 2026 school year, and then the class of 2030 here in california. those students will have to take that ethnic studies class in order to graduate high school. live in pleasant hill. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you allie. today, governor newsom will preview key elements within the state budget. while his office has not released any specifics, governor newsom is expected to discuss the importance of technology and clean energy on creating jobs and boosting the economy. he previously talked about cutting state operations, eliminating unfilled state positions, improving government efficiency, and reducing nonessential spending. newsom will also provide a progress report on the

high speed rail project. today in oakland, two more fire stations are closing. the closures are part of the city's strategy to balance the budget. station 25, in the oakland hills above joaquin miller road and station 28, in chabot park, will be closed for six months. in total, there will be three stations empty to help the city deal with a multi-million dollar budget deficit. >> 800 for your time this morning. investigators say a battery from an e-bike ignited a destructive weekend fire at a family housing building at uc santa cruz. it started friday night and burned through three units on the building in campus. one student living in the building says his family was getting ready to go to sleep when they heard a loud explosion. >> we just heard a like sparks flying and opened the door to the bedroom and saw a huge red flash and knew that it was not normal. it was a fire and just thought of grabbing the kids and running out. it is devastating that we lost everything we valued material, including all

my material that i had prepared for my qualifying exams, for my phd program. >> investigators say they later traced the fire to a battery on an e-bike owned by that man's family, followed directions and brought our batteries inside. >> when, due to the rain and the batteries were just sitting in my office and they were not connected and one of them just went off. >> his home is among three units that have been red tagged due to the extensive fire damage. no word yet on how soon people living in those units will be allowed back. >> the house and senate convened for a joint session of congress today to certify the electoral vote. victory of president elect trump. now here's a look at the capital. of course, we were talking about. this is four years since the insurrection at the capitol. that was certainly brought up at the time. congress. since that time, congress has passed the electoral count reform that act

in 2022 to prevent future efforts to try to overturn election results. reforms include clarifying that the vice president does not have the power to overturn election results, which is something then-president donald trump wanted from his vice president, mike pence. it also is harder to challenge the state electors. 20% of both the house and senate must agree. previously, just one member of each chamber was needed. now, congresswoman nancy pelosi was asked about trump questioning the 2020 election. >> he will be clearly we will be accepting the results of the electoral college, so he should be triumphant about that. but to be still trying to fight a fight that he knows he lost is, is really sad. >> congress will count the electoral votes from the 50 states and the district of columbia. >> a disappointing season for the 49ers ends with another frustrating loss. the cardinals out of arizona beat san

francisco 47 to 25, in glendale yesterday. quarterback brock purdy watching from the sidelines because he's hurt. the niners lost seven of their final eight games to finish the season in last place in the nfc west. who would have thought at the start of this season that is their worst record since 2018, and the defending nfc champions will miss the playoffs for the first time in four years? >> we've been processing it ready to finish this up. trying to finish it with a win. didn't get that done today, but i'm excited to get to this offseason and figure out how to not be in this situation again. >> next up for the 49ers the nfl draft. they will have the 11th pick. >> all right. time is 808. and right now we do see some slowing around the bay area. it's not like it was last week where it was completely light. let's go to 8.80. it's slow from hayward to fremont. it's not as slow on 680. so i don't think we're completely at full strength. would definitely. we do have some slow traffic out there. bay bridge you can see that traffic is moving along okay, but there's fog. so this is a

typical backup. but the fog is kind of making it just a little bit harder to deal with. it's 808. let's go back to the desk. >> for those of us that were there in the capitol, it's going to be, i think, quite an emotional experience to be back in that environment on that day. [music] >> as trump's election certification gets underway today, we get insight from a political analyst on the 2021 capitol insurrection and the effects that remain four years later. >> some people are looking for a new home in the new year. we have a look at the local housing market and the projections for

pete g. writes, "my tween wants a new phone. how do i not break the bank?" we got you, pete. xfinity mobile was designed to save you money and gives you access to wifi speeds up to a gig. so you get high speeds for low prices. better than getting low speeds for high prices. right, bruce? -jealous? yeah, look at that. -honestly. someone get a helmet on this guy. xfinity internet customers, ask how to get an unlimited line free for a year, plus a free 5g phone.

following for you this morning. two thieves are in custody after south bay police found more than $1,200 worth of stolen meat in their possession. the santa clara county sheriff's office says they were seen taking a lot of beef from a safeway store in cupertino. police later caught up to the suspects and booked them in santa clara county jail. several new laws are going into effect in 2025, including some that impact our children's education. one of them addresses book bans at libraries. it prohibits people who oversee

libraries from banning books because of their views or themes. it also prohibits the firing of any librarian who refuses to remove a book because of its content. this applies to all libraries in california that receive public funding, including school libraries. >> and later today, the house and senate will meet for a joint session of congress. they'll be certifying president elect donald trump's election victory. it's the first certification since rioters stormed the u.s. capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. today's joint session is scheduled to start at 10:00 this morning. of course, today marks four years since the capitol hill insurrection. 1600 people have been prosecuted, with more than 1200 convictions. while there is no dispute over the 2024 presidential election, the 2020 vote is still dividing the country. joining us now to talk more about the matter is professor in political management, program director at the george washington university, todd belt. mr. belt, we appreciate you joining us this morning. first, i want to

talk about just january 6th in general. before four years ago, was that really a day that the american public really cared about? or even the president elect paid much attention to? >> well, thanks for having me on again. it's great to be with you. boy, we've come a long way in four years. january 6th. it should and could have been a date that would live in infamy like december 7th. it was the day that we had terrorists. that's what they were. because they were trying to use violence to make make a political point, to change a political decision. they ransacked the capitol, did $1.5 million worth of damage. there were over 140 people who were injured and five who died within 48 hours. and it was tragic. and a lot of people called out the former president immediately, including. speaker mccarthy and majority leader mcconnell. and then they walked it back very quickly, and now close to 70% of republicans

think that donald trump was actually the victor in 2020, and that he should have been given the presidency then. and this has led to his election now. and for a lot of people, you know, these people who stormed the capitol, they were up there on capitol hill. many of them are actually now 650 of them are serving prison time. so they've gone from the pinnacle to the pit. and now donald trump is really thinking about about pardoning them. >> so, mr. bell, let's let's go back before january 6th, 2021 years before that certifications. before that. again, is that something that most people really paid attention to or did? normally people think that was just kind of the formality before the president took office? >> right. it was very ceremonial. it was really pro forma. and, you know, we had two presidential candidates who actually had to announce their own defeat. we had richard nixon back in 1961, and we had al gore in 2001, and both of them made

specific mentions about the peaceful transfer of power. both of them talked about this is actually what makes our country great, is that we have this peaceful transfer of power and a recognition that it is the will of the people that we respect. >> we heard from president biden before saying, quote, we have got to get back to the basic normal transfer of power. something you just mentioned here. is there some sort of kind of push from democrats to make sure that this is something that is very smooth, very peaceful, to kind of juxtapose how the republicans reacted four years ago? >> right. there are a few democrats who are still saying that donald trump, because of his actions on january 6th, is disqualified from holding office under the constitution. you might remember that there were some states that were considering kicking him off the ballot, but most democrats now are saying, let's put that aside. we have to have a peaceful transfer of power. donald trump was duly elected, and we have to show that we respect the institutions of government and need to get back

to an idea that the vote counting and how we do it with the electoral college matters, and it needs to be a smooth process. and kamala harris is going to open those votes on the floor of the senate and announce donald trump to be the winner. and she's going to do it in a way that is smooth and peaceful. >> professor, i've got one last question for you. of course, a big snowstorm going through washington, d.c. right now. we've already heard speaker johnson say that's not going to affect anything here. what has affected here? the electoral count act has seen some changes in the las four years, mostly in the way that they accept these votes. can you kind of talk and give us more details about that? >> right. the electoral count act really made it more difficult to make changes to the certifications by the states. and it really sort of, you know, filled in some of those loopholes that were used by some of the republicans. and this was in the interest of both republicans and democrats,

because they didn't want this to happen. on the other side in the future. and so this the electoral count act helps to make sure that we have more of a peaceful transfer of power and that those opportunities for malfeasance in the process are eliminated. >> todd bell with the george washington university, we appreciate you joining us and giving us your insight this morning. >> great to be with you. thanks for having me on. >> a new study predicts more homes will be available in the bay area this year. according to zillow, that could help bring local prices down during the next 12 months. however, the same research found there is growing uncertainty surrounding mortgage rates that could result in another tumultuous year for bay area home buyers. rates dipped towards the end of last year, but are now back up at 7%. >> as a team, we have been dealing with fog this morning and it is a little foggy out there. the commute has come back to a certain extent. that's about 80% of what it normally is. some of the volumes aren't there, but it's still backed up at the toll plaza, almost all

the way out to the maze. things are improving a little bit as you look at 880 heading south from hayward. that's improved, and we do have a crash now reported on redwood city's commute southbound 101 near whipple. 818. let's talk about today's weather. here's steve. >> sal, you touched on it. it's a lot of fog out there. chris heath is in oakland. he says a little foggy here in downtown oakland. steve, i think i can see it there. chris. thank you, sir. and we do have a lot of fog being reported, at least northeast and parts of the peninsula, san mateo coast, sfo, novato, petaluma, santa rosa, napa airport, fairfield, vacaville. not so palo alto though. san jose. last i looked, it was clear. livermore still looking good too. dense fog advisory. northeast and san mateo coast. it finally included solano county in there as well, and for good reason. there's been some thick fog out there, and there still is little system clipping the sierra. i'll take a look closer. look at it. you can see right there. not much. a few

flurries maybe from that system. the key with this though, is the low is going to backtrack and form over southern california, which is going to generate a difference in pressure gradients. and that means what the wind will pick up tomorrow. 40s on the temps here. now i think we've bottomed off our lows 28 truckee, 32, south lake tahoe. but the key is we're going to see a low that little system back in here right here is going to do this and then do this. which means wind will pick up. and it's a high fire danger again for southern california tuesday and probably thursday again. now the key will be we'll get wind in the hills. will it make it to the surface? if it does, it will scour out this fog. i'll have to deal with it tomorrow. i think it will. i think it will disrupt it. but for today, a lot of thick fog. and then after that hazy, mostly sunny skies, 5060s on the temps. it's a dry pattern. probably until around the 17th or so is the way it looks. we'll get the wind picking up tuesday, maybe again thursday, and it will be gradually warmer. if you don't have any fog. >> thank you steve. disappointed fans of california's great

america. the message some season pass holders received about a shortened season.

dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. five years? -five years. and he's not alone. -high five. it's five years of reliable gig speed internet. five years of advanced securit. five years of a great rate that won't change. it's back. but only for a limited time. high five. five years? -nope. comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. powering five years of savings. powering possibilities. comcast business.

balance its budget. the next steps in the process to bring much needed cash into the city. and as california schools welcome back, students for the new year, there are some new laws to talk about. we have the details of the updated rules on homework, as school leaders are encouraged to consider students physical and mental health. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning. thank you for joining us here on this foggy monday morning i'm pam cook. >> and i'm james torres. today is monday, january 6th. you know, 830 around the time that i think a lot of my friends start waking up going to work, right, getting that text message that's like, what is this all about? so we'll go to steve paulson in the traffic center to ask, what is this all about, getting up at 830. >> what's that all about? >> yeah. >> no kidding. geez. >> no kidding. >> well, there's fog and then there's breaks and there's fog and then there's breaks. but looking over the city, some fog. have some in oakland, also on the san mateo coast, north and east. not south. really. so

therein lies the rub, if you will, but 40s on the temps here. we had a couple of 30s for a while, especially santa clara valley. that's where the coldest temps were. dense fog advisory until 10:00. low visibilities. northeast san mateo coast more so than south. a little system clipping the sierra. i think it's about done, but that producing a few flurries. that system is eventually going to end up in southern california, which in turn will crank up the offshore breeze tomorrow. we'll see if it's enough to scour out the fog on tuesday. but today, manic monday with that thick fog, no doubt about it. but temps, if you get through that fog and get the sun low 60s if not 50s. all right, sal here at 830 it picked up. where are we going this time? >> well we're going over to 880. it's a little bit slow there, steve. still from hayward, the fremont. nothing unusual about that. you got to ride the ride. you know what it is? southbound 680. no problems there. southbound 101 at whipple, redwood city. there's a crash there. and at the bay bridge toll plaza. we've been talking about the fog. that fog is waiting for you as you get to the toll plaza. 831 let's go

back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal. today, two oakland fire stations will close in an effort to help balance the city's budget. >> ktvu is amanda quintana. following the story all morning long, she's at one of the stations that's going dark as of this morning. good morning. amanda. >> good morning. yes. so this is a temporary closure. it's supposed to last six months, but the station right behind me is officially dark now. we saw firefighters leave around eight this morning. we saw them, you know, taking pictures in front of the station before they took off. but this is station 28 on grass valley road. it's one of the two stations closing. the other one, station 25, on butters drive. they had their final shifts end this morning. firefighters inside. they left and there's nobody here to replace them. we watched as they moved the trucks out to park them at a fleet storage center. the actual firefighters will

also transfer to another station for the time being. now a third station, station ten, which is already closed for renovations, will remain closed because of these cuts. the city also plans to revisit this issue in early february and close four more stations, which would bring the total to seven. >> the folks in city management decided that since it's not technically fire season, now is a good time to have the residents up above highway 13 wait a little longer. and that is the reality, unfortunately, is that there is no good fire station to close. it's all about response time. >> the fire chief says it might take longer, but first responders will still show up when you call 911. the firefighters union is planning a press conference later this morning to try to get the city to reverse this decision, but the city is facing a nearly $130 million budget deficit. and this is not the only area facing

cuts. in a plan accepted on december 18th. there are also cuts to police and cultural arts programs. the cuts to fire are expected to save about $5.5 million. now, tomorrow is a big vote, a critical vote for the alameda county board of supervisors. they are going to vote tomorrow on completing the sale of the oakland coliseum, which would bring some much needed cash into the city and could help with a lot of these issues. live in oakland amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> 834 your time this morning union pacific says it plans to remove dozens of broken down cars illegally dumped alongside railroad tracks in east oakland. the blight has been such a problem, one local chef posting video on social media. the chronicle reports different entities, including alameda county, caltrans and union pacific, all share ownership of the land, making it a lot more difficult to coordinate cleanup efforts. but union pacific says it cleared the mess in november

and hopes to do so again next week. the city says many of the cars don't have license plates, so officials have no idea who to issue citations against. >> a new law, set to take effect this year could eventually lead to less homework. the healthy homework act was authored by santa clara assembly member pilar schiavo and was signed into law by governor gavin newsom. now, the new law formally asks school leaders and school boards to consider the impact on students physical and mental health when making decisions about homework. it also encourages the students, parents and teachers to weigh in on those decisions. joining us now to talk about this is shelby doyle from the national school choice awareness foundation. good morning. thank you for joining us. california high school students who responded to a survey on this topic report, on average, 2.5 hours of homework a night. so what do you think about that amount of homework and how much they should have, if any? >> yeah. so 2.5 hours a night is

surely a lot of homework. i think this is really a hot topic right now for america's families. there's so much we know about the mental stress and the toll that students have been under over the last few years, from the pandemic to the recovery to learning loss. people are really starting to wake up to the fact that kids who are in school right now are having a tough time. they've got a lot on their plates, a lot on their minds. and so we are seeing this homework topic come up in a lot of places. there's definitely families who would like to see less homework coming home with their kids, and more time to decompress and unwind at the end of the day. and we have seen that borne out in surveys across the country. gallup has done a lot of great polling on this, and it shows that especially high schoolers really are significantly more stressed than they used to be. >> yeah. i'm glayo brought up the stress. i mean, for me, my kids are now in college and just out of college, but they were both very involved in sports and activities, and they often didn't have time to start their homework until 9:00 at night. so these kids are talking about this is their number one source of stress. what role do you

think homework specifically plays in the increase that we've seen in stress in teens in particular? >> i think homework is definitely a piece of the puzzle. you know, students are spending a long day at school and a lot of cases, and then to come home and do several more hours of work outside of everything else that makes up their lives is quite a bit. i think it's also important to talk about what we mean when we say homework. there's a lot of different ways that looks. if it involves sitting on your computer potentially alone and not seeing the sunlight, not interacting with other folks, that can be a lot more burdensome for a student versus something that's maybe collaborative. a group project has some other social value add for them. i think, especially students who find themselves spending their time in school and at home increasingly and in isolated way, are often more stressed and enjoy that homework even less than folks who get to do things that are a little bit more collaborative. >> the social impact is certainly part of it. i'm glad you brought that up. it also, homework often helps students retain information that they're learning and also develop good

study habits for tests. so how do we strike a healthy balance in that? >> so of course, yes, being studious on your own time when no one is directly looking over your shoulder is a life skill, right? especially if you're going to matriculate to college or beyond as a remote worker, as i myself am in this day and age, you've got to develop the life skill of being able to be studious, be effective at retaining and learning information on your own. so of course, this is an important muscle for students to develop as they go along. but for anybody, student or adult, nobody likes to feel like their time is being wasted. so it's important that educators are thinking about the type of homework they're sending home, being something they couldn't have gotten done during the class day, not just more of the same to say we did it. >> all right, let's shift gears for a moment. since we have you here to talk about. there are so many new laws that are education, impacting education and coursework. talk about the new law that will make classes more inclusive when it comes to native american history. it's

really going to be expanding there. >> yeah. so as of january 1st of this year, now when the curriculum companies that create the curriculum that goes on in california, classrooms across the state, if they update or create new resources, they need to consult with native american tribes in the state to make sure that their perspectives are included on relevant topics in those instructional materials. that's a new law that just went into effect, like i said, january 1st of this year. and the goal there is to make sure that their perspectives are being accurately represented in talking about topics that, in a lot of cases, didn't include that well-rounded perspective on experiences seems like an important thing to incorporate for every group. >> when you're discussing people who are directly impacted by this, before you discuss that, that curriculum. >> absolutely. i think we're seeing a lot of this happen in curriculum laws and curriculum oversight across the country. people want to make sure that curriculum is well balanced and

includes a broad perspective of speakers and of people who were affected by historical events. so i think we'll continue to see things like this come up when folks consider how they want to approach curriculum in their state. and of course, it's all about what actually happens when that consultation takes place. it's great to consult with native american californians, but also to make sure that once that consultation happens, that curriculum is actually updated in a way that they feel good about, too. >> all right. shelby doyle from the national school choice awareness foundation, thank you so much for that insight and information. >> thanks for having me. >> 840 your time this morning. the teacher shortage in california is getting worse. for the second straight year, fewer people received teaching credentials for k through 12. the number of people who enrolled in teacher preparation programs during the 20 2223 school year also dropped about 12%. schools started relying on intern credentials and emergency permits to make up for the shortage.

>> suspects have been arrested in the south bay after police shut down a unique crime operation, where thieves tried to steal more than $1,200 in meat from a safeway store in cupertino. now, i want to show you a photo that was posted by the santa clara county sheriff's office. it shows what ktvu counted to be more than two dozen packages of ribs roast, other prime cuts of meat. a safeway employee in cupertino says the alleged thieves were seen trying to escape with the stolen meat. that the employee wrote down the license plate of the getaway car and then called police. they captured the suspects red handed. >> how the #### they got out of there with that much? >> it's not right. i mean, that's the kind of thing that has to get passed on to the consumer, right? >> some people have a necessity and it's harder for them to meet that. but i do feel like this is like going overboard. >> both suspects were booked in santa clara county jail. >> be happy just to work right now. >> crab season now back. just

quarterback. the regular season is over, and while half the league is preparing for the playoffs, the other half of the

teams are reconsidering their future. let's start with one big winner. the detroit lions clinched the number one seed in the nfc yesterday with a resounding 31 to 9 victory over the minnesota vikings. that game has serious playoff implications. either team could have secured a bye in the playoffs with a win, but now the lions get a week off and the vikings will play on the road this weekend against the rams. today is a day known as black monday in the nfl. while it's a day when a lot of the coaches will find out if they're losing their jobs after missing the playoffs, two teams have already fired their coach following last game yesterday. just a few hours ago, the jacksonville jaguars fired doug peterson. the team won a disappointing four and 13 this year, missing the playoffs for the second year in a row. the patriots also fired head coach jerod mayo immediately following the end of his first season in charge. new england finished four and 13, the first year without bill belichick at the head since 1999. the bears, jets and saints all fired coaches during the season, so

right now, five franchises are looking for coaches. the cowboys and the raiders could also still make some changes as well. and the 49ers, you know how happened around here. kyle shanahan is not expected to go anywhere. however, after the team went six and 11. but there could be some changes to assistant coaches after that disappointing year. the niners lost yesterday 47 to 24 against the cardinals, and faced another big injury in that game as the team fears running back isaac randall may have hurt his mcl. san francisco will pick 11th in the nfl draft coming up in april. >> touchdown kyler murray thank you sal. some of the other stories we're following for you this morning. two more fire stations in oakland are closing today. the closures are part of the city's budget balancing strategy. station 25, in the oakland hills above joaquin miller road and station 28, in chabot park, will be closed for six months. in total, there will be three stations closed to help the city deal with a multi-million dollar budget

deficit. a powerful storm is slamming parts of the u.s, forecasters say some areas of the midwest and mid-atlantic may see their heaviest snowfall in ten years here on the west coast. we avoided the worst of the storm, but we are still seeing the weather impact and it's impacting travel. at sfo, more than 170 flights were delayed. yesterday, more than 20 were canceled. >> snow coming down on capitol hill this morning, but the storm won't impact today's joint session of congress. lawmakers in the house and senate are meeting today to certify president elect donald trump's election victory. it is the first certification since rioters stormed the capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election results. today's joint session is scheduled to begin at about 10:00 this morning. and, of course, top of mind ahead of the ceremonial move, the four year anniversary of the capitol hill insurrection. 1600 people have been prosecuted, with more than 1200 pleading guilty or convicted in trials. earlier this morning, we interviewed todd bell. he's the director of

the graduate school of political management at the george washington university. we talked about the insurrection and why, after four years, it's still dividing the country. >> it was the day that we had terrorists. that's what they were, because they were trying to use violence to make make a political point, to change a political decision. they ransacked the capitol, did $1.5 million worth of damage, and now close to 70% of republicans think that donald trump was actually the victor in 2020, and that he should have been given the presidency then. >> president elect trump says on his first day back in office, he will pardon most of the people convicted of january 6th related crimes. but he added that he probably won't offer clemency to a few defendants who acted, quote, out of control. >> the memorial services continue for former president jimmy carter. ahead of thursday's funeral at

washington's national cathedral this morning, the body of america's 39th president is lying in repose at the carter presidential library in atlanta. we're taking a live look now at the number of people who have come in to pay their respects. they've been lining up inside and outside the building. visitors will be allowed to pay their final respects until early tomorrow. many are willing to spend hours in line to honor the former georgia peanut farmer, who became america's longest living president when they were in atlanta. >> they were neighbors. >> he was just a humble guy and funny. i felt like even if it were an hour or two hours wait, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. >> tomorrow, former president carter's body will be taken to the navy memorial in washington, dc. that will be followed by a funeral procession to the united states capitol. >> and millions of people are preparing for a sweet holiday tradition. today, january 6th, marks three kings day. the holiday marks the 12th day of

christmas and honors the baptism of jesus and the arrival of the three wise men. every year, people who celebrate will give gifts, have a special traditional dinner, and share a special dessert called rosca de reyes. pam, can you say that ten times fast? >> no, probably not ten times. >> you might commonly know that as king cake, but inside, the sweet bread served as a small plastic figurine representing baby jesus. whoever finds it has to host another holiday dinner in february. >> very nice. the start of the commercial dungeness crab season finally underway off the northern california coast. that's after several weeks of delays. dozens of crab lovers waited in long lines at san francisco's fisherman's wharf, even before the boats docked with their catch. many bay area crab fishermen are also delighted they can finally make some money. >> just to work right now, as salmon season is closed, most fishermen are salmon and crab. salmon seasons have been closed for the last two years, and crowds have been shortening down to smaller and smaller.

>> northern california's dungeness crab season is scheduled to begin in november. however, opening day was delayed due to concerns that whales could get tangled in the crab fishing gear. dungeness crab season will continue until the end of june. all right. this morning that leads us to our question of the day. after weeks of delays, will you be enjoying dungeness crab this season? your options? yes, i'm cracking away. that's 51% leading the way right now. >> that took off? yeah. that did even earlier. >> they were pretty even all the way across the board. depends on the price. a very reasonable answer. 26%. and then yuck. absolutely not. james or allergic? >> cannot or can not. >> you brought a good point. you could be allergic, but maybe not say yuck, but to vote, go to that qr code on your screen. or you can go to ktvu.com/vote. we will be sharing your results throughout the morning. >> all right. looking forward to hearing that. 851 and things are

improving for the morning commute. the volume wasn't really there on this first monday back. you can see barely, that the bay bridge commute is much better. it's been improving, even though it's foggy out there and the fog is still an issue. but some commutes have been lighter than usual. 680 was always light from pleasanton to san jose. 880 is still a little bit slow. we had some problems on the peninsula southbound 101, and redwood city is still slow because of earlier issues. 851 let's talk about today's foggy start. >> here's steve. all right, sal, thank you. first, take a look at the dividing line here for the state on rainfall. and man oh, man. it's a tale of two different areas north doing really well. santa rosa, redding and crescent city. even west healdsburg and casadero are both over 40in. i know there's some calistoga over 30 yet. you go down to san diego, la and santa barbara. i mean, it is just woeful. and you know what? not one, not two, but maybe three off shore events are in their near future tuesday, thursday,

maybe again early next week. san francisco had rain like most of us did on friday. there had 18 100, so we've only had three dry days, but the next rain doesn't look until maybe around the 17th or 18th if then. so we have a good ten days here of dry weather. san francisco climate data. the most rain on this date was 1993. almost two inches of rain 1.95, but the record 73 on the high side 1887 and 33 on the low side back in 1913. but it's all about the fog, as we said. north, also on the san mateo coast, sfo in there, san carlos also in there, novato, napa, fairfield, vacaville. that goes until 10:00. if you don't have any, then be thankful because the sunshine is much better than this fog and that goes until ten. if you can't clear that fog, your high temps will probably be in the 50s. if you do, it will be in the low, maybe mid 60s. here's the way it works. otherwise, mostly sunny here. little system clipping this year. i think it's about done, but you can see the cloudy to mostly cloudy up there. maybe a few flurries fell out of that.

30s 40s 50s. on the temps there is a little bit of an offshore breeze along with high pressure. but that system clipping the sierra is going to dig into southern california, and that will pick up the wind for us tomorrow already. wind advisories are out, so it's a manic monday for the fog. lots of sun if you get through that fog. a little haze out there. highs will be in the 50s and 60s. always brutal call if you can't clear that fog. but tomorrow i think the wind will be enough to scour out that fog. and maybe again on thursday. you. guys. >> thanks a lot, steve. all right, coming up. toxic metals in baby food. when you join us on the nine. the new california law holding manufacturers accountable. and how it's giving parents a way to know what's really in their childre food.

for their day use. they can apply for a certificate of occupancy or a housing certificate of compliance. both options require an expensive inspection, but it's a confidential process and won't cause penalties for homes that are not up to code. heavy rain across the state has not ended concerns about a possible water shortage in california. the latest u.s. drought monitor map shows a large part of the state is under abnormally dry conditions. that includes the bay area that is part of the yellow zone that you see on the map here. >> a budget crisis and fewer resources. how oakland's struggling finances are now affecting fire stations, and what it means for response times. >> students across the bay area are returning to the classroom this morning, but there are several new laws for california's schools that have gone into effect. we're going to break down the new rulings and what they mean for students statewide. >> plus, four years after the
