and help us, i'm going to rebuild. >> people who lost everything come together to grieve and look ahead to what comes next. the move by the governor meant to help people who are thinking about rebuilding. then, here at home, a police chase in san francisco ends with the department vehicle crashing into a building. now two officers are hurt. what else we know about this overnight- [music] incident? >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> and good morning i'm dave clark. it's monday is january 13th. good to see you. >> good to be here. it's cold and windy out there. >> i was just about to say the same thing. and steve's been saying it all morning. and you're going to bring a full moon to steve later today. >> it's full moon monday. the wolf moon for january. 226. i think it is today pm. but yes, it's cold for some, windy for others, and a combination if you will, for others as well. although it looks like the breeze is picking up for some now on the peninsula, so

anywhere from 30 to 40s there but san jose 38. santa clara valley and santa cruz mountains are the coldest. the city those 51. santa rosa 50 because of that system. i'll put in the wind part. you can see why you see that little system and watch it turn offshore right there. see, that's what's heading down to southern california. and that's going to give them another round of offshore wind. we've already had about 30 to 50 mile per hour gusts in the oakland hills. still a blustery, breezy day across the board here. 30s, 40s and 50s on the temps will end up with sunshine for all. but it's the answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind. no doubt about it there. and temperatures will be in the 60s. about 6065 should cover it. all right, sal's here. this time he begins with, well, steve, last week was a little lighter, but the times they are changing, people are back on westbound highway four in droves. >> it's backed up from pittsburgh. and look at all that slow traffic getting over to concord last week, it was just a little lighter. i think people kind of eased into 2025, but now there's no more easing in. it doesn't seem like it any way you

look at the bay bridge, it's backed up to the maze and pretty much all the commutes are getting filled in. we'll have another report in minutes. now at 701. let's go back to the desk, sal. >> thank you. starting today, the santa ana winds are expected to pick up again in southern california, complicating efforts by firefighters in los angeles county to save lives. and property crews say they worry these extreme conditions will wipe out all the progress they made over the weekend. our andre senior back in studio to share the challenges facing fire crews this week. >> well, garcia, the death toll in those fires continues to climb. now, the remains of at least 24 people have been found, and forecasters predict weather conditions over the coming days could be, quote, extremely critical. >> a red flag warning is in effect and will remain until 6 p.m. wednesday evening. strong santa ana winds are also expected to last through wednesday, with the strongest winds occurring on tuesday, so wind gusts could top 50 miles an hour. >> this comes as fire crews were

making a dent on the fires. the palisades has burned nearly 24,000 acres, but containment went up to 13%. now the eaton is at 14,000 acres, with containment there 27%. >> we're still continuing to face some very dangerous winds that are upcoming, at least through the wednesday into thursday morning period in particular. that does mean we will utilize public safety power shut off as a tool of last resort. >> now, investigators are checking an electric tower as a possible source for the eaton fire, which has claimed 16 lives, including a 95 year old woman. so far, southern california edison says it does not believe its electrical equipment was responsible. palisades is blamed for eight deaths. authorities say these numbers will go up as searchers find more victims in burned out homes. >> hey, babe, i need you to come out here right now. we have a very big problem. what? holy. >> i'm gonna spray the.

>> so what you're looking at here is a ring doorbell camera recorded a couple evacuating after realizing flames were approaching their house. something that happened time and time again to so many people there in southern california. proof that this fire situation is far from over. this morning, about 105,000 people still evacuated from their homes. another 87,000 are in evacuation warning zones. >> gasia andre. thank you. and as some people in southern california returned to their neighborhoods, many are finding their homes have been reduced to rubble. entire neighborhoods have burned to the ground. the l.a. county department of public works is promising to help homeowners clear and clean out their lots. cal fire says the palisades and eaton fires are among the most destructive fires in our state's history. >> i had a little cottage house gone. just everything is gone. and all this standing is the fireplace. every house on the block is gone. except for one. you just have to be strong. have

faith. it's just stuff. >> governor newsom signed an executive order to help fire survivors rebuild. it eliminates some of the environmental requirements for rebuilding and makes sure that property taxes are not increased on those who rebuild. >> our time now. 704, a church just east of downtown l.a, opened its doors to victims of the eaton. fire. [music] already? yesterday, dozens of people from altadena traveled more than 25 miles to go to sunday church at a different church in montebello. they found a place to worship and heal after their church in altadena burned to the ground last week. >> as soon as i heard that that altadena's buildings had all burned down, there was no question that if they wanted to worship with us, it would be a joint service. >> it means a lot to me. i almost didn't come because i didn't know if i could handle

it. i wanted to see my family from from from the church. i know over, i guess, 19, 19 homes from our congregation were burned down. >> that church service was very emotional, filled with prayers, tears and a sense of unity. >> nearly a thousand incarcerated people working as firefighters are among the crews battling flames in southern california. the california department of corrections and rehabilitation says there are 993 people working as firefighters in the field, clearing brush to help protect lives and property on a volunteer basis. one man served on those same teams until he was released from prison last month. now that he's out, he's hoping to put his skills to good use. >> first of all, is pretty much the spear of the team, so we're leading the charge in taking down brush. a couple guys gave me a call before they left camp and like, i just wish them the best of luck. be safe. make sure you guys take care of each

other. >> one bay area fire department says it doesn't block people who've been incarcerated from serving as firefighters, but the certification process to be an emergency medical technician or emt is required for all fire crews, and it often disqualifies those who have served time in prison. >> our time now. 706 scientists at san jose state hope to use the southern california wildfires as a learning tool to prevent disasters in the future. the school created was known as the wildfire interdisciplinary research center, focusing on understanding fire behavior and applying their work to improve public safety. the information gathered through moisture sensors, drones, and a doppler radar can peer into the plume. >> we can see the velocities or the wind speeds. we can see, you know, the debris inside the plume and where it's falling out. and that allows us to collect data that we can then compare to a simulation. >> now, the la fires are an example of fire behavior that's not really understood among

scientists. do these fires go home to home, or do they spread through embers and wind? as always, more stories and coverage about the wildfires on the fox local app for you. you can see all the press conferences and get the updates from the firefighters live nc coverage from our sister station in los angeles. just download the free fox local app in your phone's app store or on your smart tv. >> new this morning, a police suv crashed into another vehicle and a building early this morning in san francisco. we show you the damage to the police vehicle itself. this was the scene at the corner of san bruno avenue and paul avenue. the police officer and driver were both taken to the hospital with minor injuries. police did not say what led to the crash. we did reach out to sfpd for more information. we're waiting to hear back. >> time is 708. santa clara county jail. deaths in 2024. they reached the highest point in 20 years. now, in 2024, ten people died at the elmwood

correctional facility and at county hospitals. that's double the amount of deaths from 2023. more than half of those deaths occurred at the elmwood facility in milpitas. five deaths were caused by natural causes one to a drug overdose, two by suicide, and two more still are being investigated. >> california is preparing for a slew of executive orders once president elect trump's take. trump takes office next monday. governor newsom and the state legislature are putting $50 million into a fund to challenge the new administration. half that money will support the state's justice department and legal cases against the federal government. the other half will go to nonprofits caring for undocumented immigrants and fighting deportation and detention. >> time now is 709, and we are still looking at a bunch of slow traffic out there. of course, the middle of the commute, but we don't have a lot of crashes anymore. we had some overnight crashes that were cleared. and finally, we do have kind of a

normal looking commute, albeit heavy. i want to show you the contra costa area. 680 looks okay as you drive from pleasant hill to walnut creek and into danville. but highway four is pretty slow, pretty much from antioch, or at least the west tip of antioch, all the way out to concord. and the rest of the east bay commute is beginning to fill in. we don't have a lot going on in the south bay, but that's changing quickly. 709 let's go back to the desk. >> all right. well, people in southern california, they are finding ways to give back to their neighbors affected by those deadly wildfires. we'll take you to one event that grew so big, they had to change the location. >> and a longtime event in san francisco's treasure island is going away. why? the monthly treasure fest won't be returning after a car accident. [music] >> beware of insurance companies bearing small checks. if you've been injured, you may feel pressured to settle too soon and for too little money. don't be fooled. the minute you sign, your claim is over, no matter

how serious your injuries are or how many bills come in later. choose jacoby and myers. for over 50 years, we've turned low insurance offers into big settlements. call us and find out what we can win for you. jacoby and rs bec 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.

ghirardelli intense dark. bold... rich... intensely delicious dark chocolate. ghirardelli intense dark. makes life a bite better. are following this morning. another bay area school district

considering potential school closures amid a budget deficit. today, leaders at schools in santa rosa will begin a series of town hall meetings on the possible closures. at least four schools are set to close by the end of the school year, in an effort to save $11 million for the next two years. that move would help offset a $20 million deficit in southern california. firefighters continue to battle several out-of-control wildfires. as santa ana winds returned this week. so far, 24 people have been confirmed dead in these fires. dozens more are missing. the palisades fire has burned more than 23,000 acres. the eaton fire in altadena and pasadena has burned more than 14,000. more than 12,000 structures have burned. the firestorm in l.a, raising concerns about the potential for similar disasters here in the bay area. last week, the city of oakland shut down two of its fire stations up in the oakland hills due to the city's budget crisis. oakland firefighters note the similar geography of the oakland hills and the los angeles county fire zones, noting neighborhoods with winding, narrow roads up in the

hills. hundreds of volunteers came together to help wildfire survivors in southern california. >> it's a great story. they gathered at the santa anita racetrack. they brought clothing, household items and food. they worked together to offer clothing as well as packaged or hot food, even toys that were given to anybody who needed it. it started at the rose bowl, but the amount of vendors and donations grew so big they had to move it to the santa anita park. >> we thought we were going to give out 500 hot dogs and, you know, call it a day. and what happened is donations started pouring in. next thing we know, other food vendors came to help. and then before we know it, it got so big, so rapidly. >> now people can pick up food or any other necessity from now until wednesday at santa anita park. anything that's left over will be distributed to other organizations that are also helping people displaced by the fire. >> the red cross is among the relief organizations working in southern california to provide critical support. the nonprofit

said it has several hundred volunteers helping in the operation, including 40 people from the bay area. its focus is providing shelter to fire survivors. >> it's a good reminder for us in the bay area. while we don't have any disasters right now, to be prepared to have that kit. to stay informed, have your evacuation plan. practice that plan. >> the red cross says now is a good time to make sure smoke alarms are working at home, noting that working smoke detectors can cut the risk of death by half. >> our time now 716 with neighborhoods devastated by those fires in southern california, some parents wonder, how do you talk to kids about what's happening? what do you say? child psychiatrists say anxiety in children is normal during a disaster. some doctors say it's important to validate the feelings of the children, to let them express themselves and to encourage them to maintain a daily schedule. >> they might think that the entire city of la is on fire or

something like that. they can develop some kind of anxiety disorder if they're really afraid, if they are living in the acute stress situation, they are constantly feeling that something traumatizing is going to happen to them. and it is not healthy for kids. so we really need to limit the information that the younger kids have. >> definitely, as a parent, i feel like it's our responsibility to be mindful of what our kiddos see. and so right now, given my daughter's age, definitely limiting her screen time. >> doctors say it's really important to make your home a safe place for children. let them know your community is prepared. if something bad does happen close to home. and if you see your child crying more than normal, not eating well, or their sleep is disrupted, it may be time to get some professional help. >> a monthly festival on treasure island will not be returning this year. organizers of treasure fest say the event is ending after officials on treasure island did not invite them back for 2025. the event brought hundreds of craft makers, designers and artists to

the island every month. organizers say they don't have plans right now to relocate. >> all right. time is 717. right back to school. have you been able to fix things out there, sal? >> well, some things are becoming more crowded, dave. not. i'm not sure that unfixed, but getting a little more attention down to the south bay. dave and gasia. i want to start there. northbound 85. northbound 101, 280. it's not critical, but it is beginning to get slower as that commute tends to wake up in this hour. this is the hour where things get slow. you know, it's been slow for at least an hour has been the bay bridge toll plaza that's backed up all the way out to the maze, and the metering lights are on. we do have some slow traffic this morning, also in contra costa county, but 680 doesn't look all that slow. but highway four is backed up almost into antioch. in fact, could be to antioch soon, all the way to concord. westbound 718. let's bring steve back in. a little windy out there, sal. >> briefly here. i want to shout

out to laverne. i met her yesterday at the safeway in american canyon. her and her husband watch us every morning with their coffee. but are you ready? are you ready? tell me. class of 62 cal graduate. >> oh my goodness. wow. >> diehard cal fan. football fan. so go, bears. there you go. thank you. laverne, you're super nice. super sweet. and she said what i usually, you know, you look much better in person than you do on tv. thank you for that. all right. boulder creek 31, hollister 31 this morning. felton 32. morgan hill was 32. fairfax, marin county, 33. campbell in their menlo park 35 and santa cruz made it to 37. the record low for the city today was 35, 1949. the record high not that long ago. 72, 2009. the record rain an inch and three quarters back in 1911. we are looking for rainfall. not this week. probably not next week. maybe end of the month. right now, san francisco the third. driest january on record

going back to 1849. 1850 the driest, if you didn't know, was ten years ago, 2015, when we didn't have a drought. the system that clipped us right there is on its way to southern california. that is cranked up the wind. now, most of this was early, as in, you know, 2:00 to about 5:00 in the morning. oakland hills, 52mph. oakland airport, 43. west side of mount tam 40. cordelia. crystal springs reservoir and berkeley lab between 32 and 38mph. there's still a decent breeze. petaluma north to 28. fairfield north to 25. it's an east and northeast breeze almost across the board here. half moon bay, sfo, livermore. mountain view, palo alto. all of the north or northeast breeze. wind advisories out for the north bay. i included the unofficially the east bay hills. when you get gusts to 50, that's that's good enough for me. 30s, 40s and 50s on the temps here. i mean, there's been a wide variety of temps. the coldest by far been to the south boulder creek, felton, scotts valley, santa cruz, aptos, hollister in there, san martin and san jose. but if that breeze picks up, those 30s are now in the 40s. 12 in

truckee, 16 reno, 12 in minden and 21 south lake tahoe. cold up in the mountains. it's a dry pattern, except for maybe a few high clouds. it's a sunny, breezy to windy pattern. no rain yet. maybe end of the month. there's some signs there that the worm will turn, so to speak, as we go into the end of the month and into february. but until then, it's a windy pattern blowing in the wind. highs only in the 60s. watch out for cold lows the next couple of mornings. so you guys. >> steve. thank you. time now is 720. those fires in southern california impacting grocery stores hundreds of miles away. why? many say it's similar to what we saw during the pandemic. >> also, the clock is ticking down for tiktok and when it could be banned in the united states. we have the details of a businessman who wants

first lady jill biden is coming to the bay area. she'll be a keynote speaker at the healthcare and pharmaceutical conference. fierce jpm week 2025 in san francisco. first lady will arrive this afternoon at sfo. plans to stay through wednesday. she'll be at the conference as part of the white house initiative on women's health research. the conference runs tuesday and wednesday. >> our time now 724. we're now one week away from the inauguration of president elect donald trump. the u.s. senate is scrambling to confirm his cabinet nominees. the 14 confirmation hearings are scheduled this week in the senate. republicans are hoping to have most of the nominees confirmed by inauguration day,

when president trump takes office next monday. >> there is going to be shock and awe with executive orders. a blizzard of executive orders on the economy, as well as on the border. >> now, the confirmation hearings for high level officials include south dakota governor kristi noem to head the department of homeland security, pam bondi as attorney general. florida senator marco rubio for secretary of state and veteran and former fox news host pete hegseth as secretary of defense. >> the u.s. supreme court now appears likely to uphold a federal law that would effectively shut down tiktok in the united states this weekend. a majority of the high court justices indicate support for a law that would ban the popular video sharing platform, unless it breaks all economic ties with its chinese owners. now, while tiktok's owners have not indicated they're even willing to sell, one host of the tv show shark tank says he wants to buy tiktok before sunday's deadline.

>> i don't want it shut down. it's not good for my businesses. it's not good for 6 million other small businesses in america that make a living off it. we just need to take out the onerous piece, the spyware investor kevin o'leary is partnering with billionaire and former owner of the la dodgers, frank mccourt, in an effort to buy tiktok. >> well, a space mission that is years in the making is now on hold. blue origin scrubbed today's launch of its new glenn rocket to troubleshoot a problem it's having. officials say the problem lies in the rocket's subsystem. the problem was found during the final mission minutes leading up to takeoff. right now, we don't know when the blue origin may make another launch attempt. the goal of the mission is to prove the rocket can reach orbit, allowing for more complex missions down the road. >> governor newsom already committed to rebuilding areas destroyed by the southern california wildfires. the changes he's proposing to help

ease the road ahead for people who lost everything. >> we're also hearing from bay area firefighters helping with the battle against those wildfires in southern california. why the effort is personal for one fire chief fire marshal from the north bay. [music]

firefighters in southern california as the palisades and eden fires keep burning. the strong winds in the forecast that could make things a lot worse. also, we're hearing from several oakland firefighters who are in southern california to battle those flames. why? they say the lessons they're learning down south may help them here at home. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well good morning. thank you for joining us. welcome back to mornings on two. i'm dave clark i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it is monday, january 13th. that moon was like a laser beam shining through the curtains there overnight. and it's an important thing to note, right, steve? >> because it's full moon monday in january. that is correct.

yes. j.w. also just sent me a nice note on twitter saying, hey steve, i didn't take a picture, but i could see it. is it a full moon today? the answer is yes. it is known as the wolf moon. it should be about 99.8% visible now, but at 2:26 p.m. it will officially be full for january and it won't be a problem to see. let me tell you, there's not a cloud in the sky, so we're okay. there are clear skies. santa rosa for some reason stopped reporting, but we have 30s, 40s and 50s on the temps here. san jose is not cloudy. they always do that. it's clear. and you can see watch how that little system clips us. now watch the offshore breeze taking shape right there. i'll put the wind particles in and watch it turn right there. well guess what. that system is on its way to southern california. so we get the offshore. they're going to get another round of offshore wind as well. and there's been some pretty good gusts 5030 to 50 in the oakland berkeley hills. so a breezy blustery day with temperatures 30s 40s 50s. most should end up in the 60s

though. the answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind, and that's for sure. it's an offshore breeze. sunny for all. no rain yet. maybe end of the month or some hints on that. but for today it's 60s on the temps. all right. sal is here now, he said, rather clairvoyant there. that next week i think it will start to get crowded again. >> and you know, it is it is crowded. just like i said last week, i think a lot of people were out for the tech conference last weekend. but we have crowding out there. let's go out and see what we have. with highway four, you can see that highway four is going to be slo, and you can see that 680 looks okay. there's a little bit of slowing as you drive through pleasant hill. don't think twice. it's all right. it's does get better by the time you get to highway 24 westbound for as i said, is slow. the bay bridge toll plaza backed up to the maze, and i see something in the middle of the toll plaza. you see, that looks like there's a crash or something going on here. see all the flashing lights? we're going to get to the bottom of that and have

another report in just a few minutes. now let's get back to the desk. >> thank you. sal, let's get straight to some new numbers this morning on the los angeles county wildfires. cal fire announced just a short time ago the palisades fire remained at 23,700 plus acres. containment, though, went up just a bit from 13 to now 14%. the eaton fire also stayed about the same in size. just over 14,000 acres burned. containment went up from 27 to 33% there. authorities say the number of people who have died in the fires is at 2416 in the eaton fire, eight in the palisades fire. firefighters, though, are concerned about any progress they've made being wiped out when santa ana winds pick up again in the next few days. governor newsom says fire crews are staking out strategic positions across southern california to help stop flare ups and any new fires, and bay area firefighters continue to help the wildfire crisis in southern california. our james torres live up in the oakland hills with the story of oakland firefighters doing what they can in los angeles. james.

>> yeah. garcia oakland sent down more than 20 firefighters to southern california hoping to do their part. they've been there since about wednesday evening, and we're starting to get a better idea of what it is they've been doing since they've been there. and of course, at this point, they don't know how much longer they will stay away from home. we're learning that these firefighters are working in 24 hour shifts, and at the start of every day, they talk about what plans they need to make to evacuate the people that are there, to prepare the homes that are still standing, or to clear out some of the hotspots before those winds pick up again. so far, they say what they're seeing is awful. >> it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when another fire will ravage our community and when we are missing pieces, key pieces of firehouses that are put throughout our city strategically right to be able to get to an emergency or a fire to help minimize the impact of

loss of life, and businesses and homes and property. that's a that's very tough. >> for those firefighters. tell us some of the frustrations they are hearing from people in the l.a. area. it's hitting close to home. for them. conversations like water supply, budget concerns or low resources. the oakland city council voted to temporarily shutter a handful of stations in the town as it works to make up a nearly $130 million budget deficit. even more stations are up for consideration next month. oakland fire also sent down four apparatus with those crews. they also supplied some search and search and rescue teams, helping people who are in need or in some cases, recovering bodies left behind in those fires. we're live this morning in the oakland hills. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james thank you. a north bay fire official with close ties to southern california is in the fire zone. santa rosa fire

marshal paul lowenthal is the spokesman for strike teams from all across california. he was sent to altadena as part of california's mutual aid response to the eaton fire. he says this is a personal mission. >> i'm actually from pasadena, born and raised down here, went to school in altadena. a lot of friends either displaced, evacuated or have had their homes destroyed. >> fire marshal lowenthal has seen devastation here at home. he was among the thousands whose homes burned in the 2017 tubbs fire, which devastated parts of santa rosa. >> well, los angeles county is still under a smoke advisory. the county's health department says the devastating wildfires have created a very serious air quality problem. the fires that have destroyed thousands of homes and businesses are generating a huge amount of smoke with dangerous toxins. these toxins are mainly coming from the countless number of cars, appliances and furniture

that have gone up in flames. >> when you breathe in smoke, it causes inflammation throughout the entire body, and the negative health effects can actually be seen in a very short amount of time. so only a couple of hours. it really depends on the levels and how susceptible you are. the most susceptible people are children, pregnant women, and also those with underlying respiratory conditions. so those with asthma and emphysema. >> now, doctor myers warns some of these toxins burning right now and getting into the air. they're not filtered through n95 face masks. >> governor newsom wants to fast track the rebuilding process in southern california. he signed an executive order to clear some bureaucracy, eliminate certain environmental regulations, and prevent property tax assessment increases for homeowners building back their properties. his order also aims to curb price gouging on building materials and other construction services. governor newsom says this is just the beginning, as

early estimates put damage costs at more than $150 billion, people who've lost their homes could fall victim to scammers when they file insurance claims, the insurance information institute says. californians who are filing claims for fire losses after these wildfires should avoid third party sources offering help. the institute says that people should use their own insurance company's mobile app to file claims, get a copy of their actual insurance policy and also make a list with their insurance adjuster of everything that was damaged. >> our time now 737. across the bay area, events are being held to help the victims of those fires. in los angeles. last night, an electronic music venue in san francisco hosted a fundraiser. and this was the scene at the midway at an event in the dogpatch neighborhood. this event was put together in two days, the organizer told us. the successful turnout speaks to the character of the electronic community. >> the scene here of people that really can make change, do

something, fundraise whatever it is and look at what we have here. this is two days how everybody comes together with the urgency. and it's just a testament to how tight knit this city is. >> now, there were also donation boxes for clothing and other essentials. now you can also join fox network's support of families affected by the california wildfires. your donation will go directly to the red cross as it works to help the people recover from this disaster. or you can visit ktvu.com/wildfire help to support different charitable organizations, or use the qr code that's right there on your tv screen to make your donation. >> new this morning. thieves hit two convenience stores in oakland overnight. video here shows both a 7-eleven in the montclair district and a chevron extra mile store near interstate 580 and macarthur boulevard that were damaged during the incidents. it's not clear if the two thefts were related, but we did reach out to oakland police

for more information. late last night in east oakland, a sideshow took over one intersection at macarthur boulevard and 106th street. this video shows people watching as cars spin and that major intersection. once police arrived, the crowd broke up and right now, no word of anyone injured or arrested. >> all right. time is 739. right back to sal. sal. everybody behaving for you now? >> well, i would say, dave, that right now we have a lot of slow traffic. but if behaving is we don't have a lot of crashes. well, then i think we're okay. you will see that highway four is slow. it's slow from almost antioch, but it is not affected by crashes. so we'll take the good with the bad. this is a look at the bay bridge that is completely backed up. we'll see what happens in the 8:00 hour. remember last week we had a lightning up at 8:00? i'm not sure it's going to happen today. i'm still hopeful, but i don't think so. we just have a lot more people out there. 880 between hayward and fremont is slowing down, and on the peninsula, there are not a lot of problems, but it's getting slower. for example, in san

mateo at 740. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you. sal. nfl wild card weekend is nearly in the books. a last-minute bounce that changed everything last night and why the rams will have home field advantage tonight. hundreds of miles away fro thei 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.

a morning quarterback. wild card weekend is nearly in the books. one game left to play tonight. the third and final game on sunday ended with one unbelievable bounce. [applause] the washington commanders off the upright and it is in. [applause] >> they drink their way to the divisional round. >> unbelievable. [music] oh my goodness. the look on baker mayfield's face there. the washington commanders and the tampa bay buccaneers. it came down to that play when kicker zane gonzalez, who had to make sure his hair was right before running onto the field, he hit that dunker. it was the first playoff win for washington since 2005. all right. in philly, the eagles started off the game by forcing a fumble on the opening kickoff. how do you how do you fumble on the opening kickoff packers. anyway, that set the tone for the rest of the game. the eagles took the lead and never gave it up, despite an effort by the packers to do a comeback in the fourth quarter,

it wasn't enough. eagles win 22 to 10. here's an odd sight. it's the stadium for the arizona cardinals. look, they're rolling it out. it's got la rams painted on it because the rams are technically in their home stadium. they're going to play in phoenix because of the fires in la. so they're the home team. the logo is painted on the field. of course it probably won't feel the same to rams fans. but you got to do what you got to do. >> all right. thank you. time now 744. here are some of the stories we're following today. a san francisco police officer recovering after getting into a crash with another driver. it happened in san francisco in the corner of san bruno avenue and paul avenue. a police suv crashed into another car and a building early this morning. both the officer and the driver were treated for minor injuries. we've reached out to the san francisco police department to get more details as to what led up to that crash, and this morning, a magnitude 6.9

earthquake shook southwestern japan. now it hit just before 420 this morning. a tsunami warning was issued for the surrounding areas, but it's not expected to reach california or elsewhere along the u.s. pacific coast. we're waiting now to hear if there were any reports of injuries or damage. and firefighters in southern california are bracing for the dangerous santa ana winds to come back today. those winds, combined with already dry conditions, could slow down efforts to contain the flames. since the fires started, at least 24 people have died. the two biggest fires, the palisades and the eden fires, together, have burned an area that's bigger than the city of san francisco. the los angeles area is under a red flag warning until wednesday. >> some stores in neighboring arizona say they're facing supply chain issues because of the fires in southern california. several grocery stores say they're out of

household items, including laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels and other essentials such as eggs are flying off the shelves. one expert in supply chain management says companies are reallocating shipments to meet the needs of southern californians, and that's reminding people of what we saw during the early months of the pandemic. >> i don't want anything to happen where we don't have any food. >> it's the eggs, the milk and the toilet paper that goes first. >> usually unnecessarily, we're limiting it to three products per per purchase. and i thought, oh gosh, here we go again. >> i think maybe the lesson for all of us is to be prepared that this can happen, whether it's this kind of a natural disaster or something else, and we need to prepare for it. >> now, some companies are emphasizing this isn't a shortage, just a temporary reallocation of resources. they say all should be back to normal soon. >> but eggs are another story. federal lawmakers say grocery prices may keep going up because of the bird flu outbreak. new

york senator chuck schumer says a coordinated federal response is needed to solve this problem. he says the departments of agriculture, health and human services and the centers for disease control have to work together on this to fix it. he also wants the incoming trump administration to keep funding the efforts to eliminate the bird flu, with a new administration coming in a new congress. >> the gridlock that we've had on the farm bill, which contains these programs, or many of them, and the potential for doge to cast a narrow minded net, these are the kinds of programs that could go. >> now, senator schumer says isolation and sanitation are key ways to help end the bird flu outbreak and also bring down grocery prices. >> all right, let's get out the door here at 748. it's an interesting monday morning, isn't it? south? >> yes it is. i think more people are back. garcia and dave from last week. anyway, the levels seem to be just a little

bit more on this monday and last time at the bay bridge last weekend, i should say it was a little lighter than this. now it's very crowded. i think a lot of people are back and you can see traffic is backed up to the maze. you can also see that some of the east bay commutes are very busy, especially that stretch between hayward and fremont. and on 680 we have slowing on the sunol grade. nothing unusual. however, this is kind of getting back to what we had in 2024 before the holidays. 748 let's talk about today's weather. here's steve. >> thank you sir. we have a combination of cold or wind. the wind advisory goes until 10:00. the frost advisory goes till nine. it was part of the east bay, which makes zero sense. but the peninsula? yes, in the santa clara valley and san jose area. yes, it does make sense. boulder creek, hollister 31, felton 32, morgan hill 32. fairfax, briefly in marin county, dropped to 33. i don't think they're that now. i think the wind picked up. campbell was also in there, menlo park, 35 and santa cruz even at 37 degrees. san

francisco rainfall. we are on track to have our third driest january going back to 1849, 1850. the driest was only ten years ago, 2015 when not a drop fell in only 11 years ago for the second driest, currently 19 100. so unless something happens around really around the 29th, 30th or so, i don't, i don't think there's nothing showing up yet that says any rain, that little system, that clip, this is immediately turned the wind offshore. that will continue the theme in southern california, maybe not as strong as a week ago, we hope, but it does look like a windy pattern most of this week, off and on, sometimes north northeast, sometimes north, sometimes east. the wind speeds this morning right above the caldecott there, 52 miles an hour early this morning. oakland airport also really early. 43 west side of mount tamalpais 40 cordelia crystal springs reservoir, berkeley lab all between 32 38mph. still travis. they were up to 30 now 26 petaluma northeast 28. that's that's rocking and rolling there for petaluma airport and sfo offshore palo alto, offshore

mountain view offshore livermore offshore. so you get the idea 30s 40s 50s on the temps. it is the north northeast breeze. some locations are running significantly colder than yesterday at this time livermore minus nine. others are running warmer. concord, palo alto plus 11. petaluma plus 14. with that north wind in novato plus 13. 12 in truckee, 21 south lake tahoe. reno is at 22. mammoth 19 and third ely four degrees out there in ely. why do you mention ely? because somebody came up to me and said, steve, thank you for mentioning ely. my mom lives out there, so i'm happy to do it for the moms. dave. there you go. southern california unfortunately, it's going to be another round of a north wind or northeast. maybe not as robust as last tuesday. wednesday? let's hope not. but there's still wind in the forecast off and on the remainder of this week. so blowing in the wind wall to wall sun that's for sure. the key though going forward here is we'll get less wind. but i'm telling you right now these lows are going to drop big time once the wind speeds tail off. if it isn't tomorrow,

it will be wednesday for sure. >> dave yang, if we can keep this area clear, please. >> thank you. well, we're getting closer to a day designated for ski safety across the sierra resorts. new. at 8:00, we'll join the north star california ski patrol to show you a real life rescue on the mountains. and if you ride bart or the vta, you may notice some small changes today in your commute. we'll tell you what the transit agencies are doing to make transfers more seamless.

bounced from one doctor to the next. does it have to be like this? at kaiser permanente, we have a different kind of healthcare... so, how did you like doctor lum? ...where all of us work together for all that is you.

we're sitting in the car with their father yesterday morning, when an unknown person came up to their car and shot the siblings. the police say this happened. they were headed to the oakland swap meet near the coliseum. the victim's father drove them to the hospital. they were treated for major injuries, but both are expected to survive. so far, there's no word of any arrests in the case. well, san jose police are investigating a shooting where one man was killed. the police rushed to apartments near rosemary elementary school and found a man who'd been shot. he was taken to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. at

this point, police haven't released a name or the age of the victim, or what may have led to that shooting. and later today, president biden is scheduled to hold another meeting in the oval office about the federal response to the wildfires in los angeles. last week, the president announced the federal government will pay for 100% of the cost of the disaster response for the next six months. president biden has directed fema to immediately give financial help to the thousands of people who've lost their homes and businesses in that firestorm. >> i want to make sure that they start that process by one. registering for assistance at disasterassistance.gov, but also contacting their insurance company because we'll need to know exactly what they are going to cover, but more importantly, not cover so they can be eligible for different programs within our system. >> the latest damage estimates show the disaster in the l.a. area is on track to become the most costly wildfire in american

history. time now. 756 bay area celebrity chef and restaurateur tyler florence is in los angeles now, trying to help those fire victims. >> we know about wildfires in northern california. like we know about this. we know what this feels like. and i think you're just looking at this is california, love. i grabbed two coolers. i grabbed probably 100 portions of just, you know, burgers and burritos, and i threw them in the car. and then we were just driving just all the way up the hills and interacting with, you know, fire trucks from all over the western half of the united states. but it was just it was just one of those moments where i feel like this is, this is what we're here for. >> now, florence also said many of the firefighters he served, they went without sleep for 48 hours and hadn't had a hot meal in days. he's joining world central kitchens relief team down there. they're feeding thousands of evacuees and firefighters. well, today the

san francisco spca is headed down to los angeles. they're helping animal shelters in southern california. they're waiving all adoption fees so they can receive adoptable dogs and cats in those fire hit areas. and since we first started talking about this on our air over the weekend, the nonprofit says it adopted 30 other pets. the group will be heading back to the bay area wednesday with several new animals that can be adopted. they won't be bringing back any pets that belong to fire victims. only animals that were already in the shelter. time now 758. santa clara county is looking for volunteers to help conduct its annual point in time count to get a snapshot of homelessness around the county. the volunteers will talk to people experiencing homelessness, and they will collect important information to help the county understand what they need. county officials say the point in time count is a key effort to end homelessness. the

count will take place on the morning of january 22nd and 23rd. today, bart is tweaking its train schedule. it's an effort to make it easier for riders to transfer to other transit systems. the bart says some departure times will see minor adjustments. crews are updating bart's train control system, and bart says departures will shift by just a couple of minutes. bart will also synchronize transit schedules, make transfers faster, and promote an overall better riding experience. also today, the vta is making service changes to dozens of its bus routes in santa clara county. most of the scheduled changes are minor. the vta says they reflect changes in traffic conditions and the passenger volume. it includes lines that stop at the milpitas and berryessa bart stations, the stanford shopping center and the santa clara transit center.

>> these fires started amidst conditions where the winds were gusting to levels of 80, 90, 100 miles an hour. >> it's a threat for firefighters in los angeles county, are bracing for days of winds that could hamper efforts to contain the firestorm, then panic and confusion from an immigration raid at california fields. immigrant advocates now warning that it foreshadows president elect trump's threat of mass deportations and a san francisco police cruiser slamming into a building this morning. and it's not the only vehicle involved in this wreck. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> welcome to mornings on two. it is 8:00 as you look live across san francisco this morning and the golden gate bridge. clear skies, but a chilly morning for so many of us across the bay area. thank you for joining us. i'm andre senior. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it's monday, january 13th. weather is a big story. we're talking a little bit about the winds, a little about the full moon. but all eyes are on southern california. steve. >> well, unfortunately, yes. they'll get another round today. maybe not as bad as the last

tuesday, we hope. or wednesday, but still, there's still high fire concerns. even if the winds more typical santa ana, they're still going to be some pretty good gusts off and on, probably for the next 5 to 7 days is kind of the way it's looking. it is, as garcia mentioned, a full moon today. 2:26 p.m. known as the wolf moon, it's probably 99.8% visible by now. santa rosa stopped reporting all of a sudden, but 30s, 40s on the temps. it's clear out there. it's not cloudy or anything like that. that goes our little system. that's what turned our wind offshore. you can actually see the cloud cover and the cloud cover going well out out to the pacific there. and there's a decent look at napa now. 33 novato 17 petaluma has been up to 25. it's all offshore breeze here 30s 40s 50s on the temps will end up with highs i think pretty much everyone around 60 to 6465. it will be sunny but breezy to blustery. and boy tonight, once that wind speeds tail off it will be another cold one. but look for a dry pattern the rest of this week as well. all right, so here's. 801a freeway a bridge.

where are we going? >> well, we're going to the east bay commute because things have changed, steve, on that commute from last week of southbound 880 is slower 680, which wasn't that slow last week, is now filled in quite a bit. as we just move along the map. you can see all the red there that wasn't there last week. it's nothing out of the ordinary. this is what it was like before the holidays. and we're just back to that pattern. the bay bridge is backed up to the maze and the metering lights are on. 801 let's go back to the desk. >> thank you. sal, we're about to join a news conference in los angeles here to get the very latest on what's happening in that southern california firefight, as crews brace for higher winds across a region that's been battered by flames for almost a week now. we'll bring you this update shortly as soon as officials start speaking. but first, crews have been working hard to keep the size of the fires about the same overnight. containment rose just a little bit, especially when it comes to the fire. >> crews will be facing even more challenging conditions over the next few days. the santa ana winds pick up our allie rasmus in the newsroom here, as there

are fears among firefighters that all their hard work from this weekend could be wiped out. >> ali. >> yeah, it comes after a relatively calm weekend when now meteorologists meteorologists are warning that weather conditions in the next 48 hours could be, quote, extremely critical wind gusts could top 50 miles an hour in los angeles county. >> a red flag warning is in effect and will remain until 6 p.m. wednesday evening. strong santa ana winds are also expected to last through wednesday, with the strongest winds occurring on tuesday. >> now, that comes as firefighters were starting to make some progress containing these fires. the latest update from cal fire. within the past hour, the palisades fire has burned nearly 24,000 acres, but containment went up from 13 to 14%. the eaton fire has burned 14,000 acres, with containment going from 27 to now 33%. >> we're still continuing to face some very dangerous winds that are upcoming, at least through the wednesday into

thursday morning period in particular. that does mean we will utilize public safety power shut off as a tool of last resort. >> investigators are checking an electrical tower as a possible source for the eaton fire. now, so far, southern california edison says it does not believe its equipment was responsible for sparking that fire. but in all, a total of 24 people have died in these fires. in los angeles county, 16 people, including a 95 year old woman, died in the eaton fire near pasadena and altadena. eight people died in the palisades fire. authorities say it is likely those numbers will increase as search crews now are starting to go through more burned out homes and neighborhoods. >> we're still continuing to face some very dangerous winds that are upcoming, at least through the wednesday into thursday morning period in particular, that does mean we will utilize public safety power shut off as a tool of last resort. >> now, we also wanted to show you we'll have to show it to you

next time. there is ring door camera footage showing some of the terrifying moments when a couple discovered that the eaton fire was approaching their house. they were able to get out safely. but in all, this crisis is far from over. about 105,000 people are still under evacuation orders. another 87,000 are living in evacuation warning zones, which means they need to be ready to leave at a moment's notice. back to you. gasia ali. >> thank you. that fire disaster in los angeles county is raising concerns about air quality. new state is designed to help clean up the air above california's farmlands. it bans california growers from torching piles of aging or diseased trees, vines and other agricultural debris in open fields. health experts say burning this material can create unhealthy air. the new law provides money for low smoke burning systems for growers that are more friendly to the environment. >> a church just east of downtown los angeles opened its doors to victims of the eaton fire. [music] already yesterday, dozens of

people from altadena traveled to more than 25 miles to go to sunday church services at a different church in montebello. they found a place to both worship and heal after their church in altadena burned to the ground last week. >> as soon as i heard that that altadena's buildings had all burned down, there was no question that if they wanted to worship with us, it would be a joint service. >> it means a lot to me. i almost didn't come because i didn't know if i could handle it. i wanted to see my family from from from the church. i know over, i guess, 19, 19 homes from our congregation were burned down, the church service filled with prayers, tears and work to help provide a sense of unity. >> federal agents conducted unannounced immigration raids at farms throughout bakersfield last week. >> it was one of the first large scale raids in california since donald trump was elected president. the incoming commander in chief has promised mass deportations once he's in office. growers and agricultural leaders say trump's promise will

disrupt the country's food supply, leading to shortages and higher prices for some crops. many communities, including documented immigrants, say they are afraid to go to work or school. >> we are expecting a challenge to birthright citizenship. we're expecting attempts to militarize the mass deportation process and potentially have us military on domestic soil in the united states of america. >> california attorney general rob bonta there visiting migrant communities across the state, warning them about what they can expect with the incoming trump administration. bonta held a forum in salinas meeting with elected officials, educators and migrant families. >> very important that everybody knows that they have immigration rights, constitutional rights, the right to remain silent and not sign any documents and ask for an immigration attorney. >> i know there's a lot of uncertainty as we look ahead into the weeks and months that

come, but please know that we have each other. you have a california doj that has your back. >> but until the forum that he's committed to enforcing a state law that limits local police department and sheriff's offices from getting involved with immigration enforcement. >> let's get now to that southern california update from officials who are speaking on the firefight in los angeles county. >> land fires that the entire lafd family, sworn and civilian. our city family. mayor bass, city leadership, everybody, our thoughts and hearts and prayers go out to you as we continue to push forward and mitigate this emergency. we understand the impacts and we're working and will continue to work very, very, very hard for everyone. another point i want to make is that also, we are so very grateful for the firefighters and the first responders that have already arrived and continue to arrive in the southern california region. we

absolutely know that we cannot do this on our own, and we are tremendously appreciative of all of your continued support as the increasing wind event is upon us as we speak. the los angeles city fire department has maximized our resource capabilities and response capabilities. all available lafd resources have been staffed. i have strategically pre-positioned engine strike teams and task forces, which are dedicated to rapid response for any new fire that breaks out in the city. in addition, i've directed the fire prevention bureau to augment wildfire patrols in high hazard areas. the palisades fire. your lafd remains committed to this fire, and we have significant number of engines that have been dedicated to this fire. the crews that are involved, we have crews from up and down the

state, outside of the state have made excellent, excellent work overnight mopping up flare ups and hotspots. their primary focus last night was on the mandeville canyon area, and this fire is now at 23,713 acres with 14% containment, with 5123 personnel assigned to the palisades incident. firefighters will continue to work diligently throughout the day to increase containment and prevent further fire spread. again, i want to focus our my comments on the amount of resources that are here in the palisades, from the first responders all the way up to our incident command teams. again, we're going to keep working really, really hard for you. just a brief comment on the hearst fire. it's been held to 799 acres with 95% containment. again, thank you to the community members that are out there for remaining vigilant. we

are not in the clear. i want to make sure of that. we are not in the clear as of yet, and we must not let our guard down as we have right now. extreme fire behavior, and we need to make sure that the community is staying updated with the most information. updated information as well. follow all evacuation warnings and orders without delay. and please, please stay safe. i would now like to introduce our next speaker, and that is sheriff luna. thank you. >> robert luna, sheriff of los angeles county. regarding our deployment, we still have well over a thousand of our los angeles county deputies out there working on 12 hour shifts. we have 172 california highway patrol officers. i'd like to thank the commissioner who was with me in los angeles. >> bring us an update on the firefight from this weekend here. some very strong warning

from the la fire chief, kristen crowley. she said that the crews made excellent progress over the weekend. we are not in the clear. started by saying the increasing wind event is upon us. we saw very high winds about a week ago when these fires started. things died down a couple days later. but here we are back at crisis levels to remind you, 24 people confirmed dead in these wildfires. some 12,000 structures damaged, many of them, of course, homes and businesses. but really, the full toll of the fire has not yet been told. >> and we'll continue to follow this story, continue to follow what is happening here in this press conference, and bring you any relevant details as we get them here on air and@ktvu.com and on the fox local app as well. >> now to san francisco where new this morning a police suv crashed into another vehicle and a building early this morning. we have video here that shows damage to the police vehicle. it happened at the corner of san bruno avenue and paul avenue. a police officer and driver were both taken to the hospital with minor injuries. police did not say what led to the crash. we did reach out to sfpd for more

information. we are waiting to hear back. another bay area school district is considering potential school closures amid a budget deficit. today, leaders at schools in santa rosa will begin a series of town hall meetings on possible closures. at least four schools are set to close by the end of the school year. in an effort to save $11 million for the next two years. that move would help offset a $20 million deficit. >> today, first lady jill biden is visiting the bay area. she's a keynote speaker at the healthcare and pharmaceutical conference. fierce jpm week 2025 in san francisco. it's part of the white house initiative on women's health research, which will be a main topic of her address. southern california now firefighters continue to battle several out of control wildfires. the santa ana winds returned. so far, 24 people have died in the fires. dozens more are listed missing. the palisades fire has burned more than 23,000 acres. the eaton fire in altadena and pasadena has now burned more than 14,000 acres. thousands of structures have been burned. >> a group of people who live in topanga canyon are working to

help firefighters and people who have been forced from their homes due to these fires. topanga canyon, west of l.a. county, slightly northeast of malibu. the group calls itself the heat hawks, made up of artists, musicians, carpenters, and more. the group will put out spot fires and turn off propane tanks and high risk areas. they're leaving the more difficult tasks to trained crews. >> this is the main entrance to this. >> the reason that it got started is because, i mean, we just love this neighborhood, man. we had we couldn't just sit and not help. >> contrary to a lot of talk online that we started this out of lack of resources from fire department. that's absolutely not true. those guys are on it. they've been on it since second one. >> they're incredible. members of the group will get requests to save pets or family photos, or recover birth certificates and other important documents, or even money out of houses that are at risk of catching on fire. some stores in neighboring arizona say they're facing supply chain issues because of the fires. in southern california. several grocery

stores say they're out of household items, including laundry detergent, toilet paper, and paper towels. other essentials, such as eggs, are flying off the shelves. one expert in supply chain management says that companies are reallocating shipments to meet the needs of those in southern california, and that's reminding people of what we saw early on in the pandemic. >> i don't want anything to happen where we don't have any food. >> it's the eggs, the milk and the toilet paper that goes first, usually unnecessarily. >> we're limiting it to three products per per purchase. and i thought, oh gosh, here we go again. >> i think maybe the lesson for all of us is to be prepared that this can happen, whether it's this kind of a natural disaster or something else, and we need to prepare for it. >> some companies are emphasizing this isn't a shortage, just a temporary reallocation of resources. they say all should be back to normal soon. >> 815 eggs are another story. federal lawmakers say grocery prices may keep going up because of the bird flu outbreak. new york senator chuck schumer says

a coordinated federal response is needed to solve this problem. he says the departments of agriculture, health and human services and the centers for disease control and prevention have to work together to correct this issue. he also wants the incoming trump administration to keep funding efforts to eliminate the bird flu. >> with a new administration coming in a new congress. the gridlock that we've had on the farm bill, which contains these programs, or many of them, and the potential for doge to cast a narrow minded net, these are the kinds of programs that could go. >> senator schumer says isolation and sanitation are key ways to help end the bird flu outbreak, and also bring down grocery prices. >> time is 816, and we do have slow traffic in the east bay, which is not unusual. we're going to start with contra costa county and show you highway four is pretty slow. and now there's word of a crash near the willow pass grade on westbound highway four. i don't see anything here, but i don't see the crash. but i certainly see slower than usual

traffic approaching. what could be the crash there? somewhere between willow pass road on the bay point side and on the concord side. bay bridge is backed up almost to the maze. we might see some improvement in the 8:00 hour last week. by this time we had significant improvement. looks like there are more people on the road this time. east bay commute has also been pretty heavy between hayward and fremont. a couple of minor crashes on the way between there and if you're driving to oakland, northbound 880 is pretty slow. coming up to san leandro. 816. let's talk about today's weather. here's steve. >> thank you sir. well, we started off cold for some and windy for others. it wilbe sunny for all though, but some impressive lows here. next couple of mornings we might even see some upper 20s i think on wednesday morning here boulder creek hollister made it to 31 felton, morgan hill, fairfax, campbell, menlo park, santa cruz all between 32 and 37. the coldest temps were south because there was too much wind north and east, that's for sure. san francisco the record high today

72 not that long ago 2009 35. the record low 1949 6050. on the forecast. high low. the record rain an inch and three quarters back in 1911 on this date. speaking of san francisco rainfall or lack thereof, we've only had 19/100 this january. i'll tell you, january is either all or nothing here. we've had a january 2015. we're not a drop fell and the driest, second, driest was the year before that 2014 with only 0.06. so at least we're not the driest, but we're in the top three there. and i don't see anything for 7 to 10 days and maybe a little longer, hopefully near the end of the month into february. there's some hints the pattern is going to change. you can see the air flow is all offshore, not only here, but also in southern california. i don't think it will be as critical as last tuesday night, wednesday, but they're still going to be off and on wind throughout most of the week, and mainly from the north northeast. oakland hills 52mph. early this morning. oakland airport, 43 mount tamalpais, cordelia, crystal springs reservoir, berkeley lab, all between 32 and 40 earlier.

still 35 at oakland north there. that's right above the claremont. there's an east breeze or a northeast breeze across the board here for almost everyone. i mean, look at napa airport north of 33, oakland now 25 petaluma 24. and that's holding those temps up in the 50s. and most locations are now in the 40s and 50s. it's just a really ugly dry pattern. there's no rain, sunny, breezy to windy. for some it will be sunny. that's the good news. not as warm as last week, but this offshore pattern is going to last probably all the way out to next early next week. blowing in the wind. wall to wall sun. windy for some, mainly higher elevations, but it will be sunny for everybody here. 60s on the temps. the big news will be the lows. once this wind tails off they will drop big time. if it isn't tomorrow for sure on wednesday. >> steve, thank you so much. time now is 819. many skiers and snowboarders from the bay area and beyond headed to the sierra to hit the slopes, and the tahoe resorts are working with ski patrols across the region to help make sure everyone stays safe. >> resorts across the sierra will take part in ski california safety day. that's later this

month. the north star ski patrol in north lake tahoe is among the groups undergoing intense safety training. >> we have a really strong snow safety presence here at northstar. we have a team here on patrol that monitors all of the time we have. we send our team to different professional training courses all over the country. and right now one of our avalanche rescue dogs is at a training in canada right now. so snow safety and avalanche safety is something that we take really seriously. >> north star held a ski along ahead of the big safety event january 25th. one recent incident highlights the importance of safety on the slopes. >> one more time, we'll have. >> a lake tahoe skier going down a mountain crashed into a little girl. fortunately, the child's mother says her daughter escaped with just a bruised knee. 820 here coming up, parents are keeping a close eye on their children. while they could be suffering from anxiety even

>> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back i'm gasia mikaelian. >> i'm andre senior. today is monday, january 13th. steve paulson joins us this morning with a look at the forecast. and steve waking up to a cold morning here in the bay area. also watching the weather in southern california too. >> well it's going to be another not only today tomorrow, but probably off and on most of the week. they will have some form of wind, be it north or northeast or even east. we have that right now. we had a lot of 30s this morning. now it's 40s and 50s. the city's been stuck at 51 most of the morning. palo alto did make it down to 35. now they're 45. you can see everything going offshore. i'll put in the wind particles. now watch how that little system clips us. and there it goes right there. well guess what? it's on its way to southern california. and that's going to turn their wind offshore as well. hopefully not as strong as last tuesday into wednesday. but i mean look at napa airport north at 33 oakland airport. they've been up to 43 miles an hour now 25. so it's a breezy, blustery day here for many. some of the stronger gusts are up in

the hills no doubt about it. sfo northeast 20 three half moon bay north at 20. so i mean i think you get the get the picture there. it's blowing in the wind. maybe it's not the answer you want, but it's blowing in the wind. it'll be sunny for all temperatures, probably settling in upper 50s to low 60s for many. san jose being the warmest. all right, sal's here. it's been all about the east bay at 830. east bay, east bay. and this time we're going to the east bay. >> and. yes, sir, there's still a lot of slow traffic. steve, on highway four. it's improving. the cleared crash at the willow pass grade, but highway four is still pretty slow. i'm also looking at the bay bridge, which has improved. so at 830 here, it's improved quite a bit. that's very good. as you drive over to san francisco now. 831 let's get back to the headlines. >> well, firefighters in southern california bracing for the dangerous santa ana winds to come back today. those winds, combined with the already dry conditions there, could slow down efforts to contain fire. the fires there. since the fire started, at least 24 people have died. dozens more are listed missing. the palisades fire has burned more than 23,000 acres.

the eaton fire and the dean and pasadena has now burned more than 14,000 acres. thousands of structures have burned as fire crews are still dealing with active wildfires that began last week in l.a. county. >> authorities are warning residents about the danger of new fires erupting. >> the anticipated winds, combined with low humidities and low fuel moistures, will keep the fire threat in all of los angeles county. critical. >> the utility company southern california edison says it may have to enact power shutoffs over the next few days because of severe wind gusts. l.a. fire department will have patrols out to help make sure there are no flare ups or spot fires. the sheriff also just announced the number of evacuated residents has gone down just slightly, from 105,000 to now 92,000. another 89,000 people are living in evacuation warning areas. meanwhile, bay area firefighters continue to help the wildfire crisis in southern california. >> ktvu james torres live from the oakland hills, sharing the

story of oakland firefighters who are on the front lines in l.a. >> james gasia. andre, good morning to you. well, there are about more than 20 firefighters down in la from oakland. they've been there since wednesday, all hoping to do their part on the front lines of the eaton fire. and they say that what they have been seeing so far and experiencing is something completely different. we've got an idea of what exactly they've been doing since they've been there. they're working in 24 hour shifts, and at the start of every day they all work and talk with each other on what they need to do to evacuate the people that are there, prepare the homes that are still standing, or to help clear out some of the hotspots before those winds pick up again. and they say so far, what they're seeing is awful. >> it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when another fire will ravage our community and when we are missing pieces, key pieces of firehouses that are put throughout our city strategically, right to be able

to get to an emergency or a fire to help minimize the impact of loss of life, and businesses and homes and property. that's a that's very tough. >> and the firefighters tell us some of the frustrations they're hearing from people in the la area hitting close to home. for them, conversations like water supply, budget concerns or other low resources. you may remember the oakland city council voted to temporarily shutter a handful of stations in the town as it works to make up a $130 million budget deficit. even more stations are up for consideration next month. oakland fire also sent down with them four apparatus with those fire crews. they also supply some search and rescue teams, helping people who might be in need or in some cases, recovering bodies left behind from those destructive fires. we're live this morning in oakland. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james thank you. new this

morning. thieves hit two convenience stores in oakland overnight. video here shows a 7-eleven in the montclair district and a chevron extra mile store near 580 and macarthur that were damaged during the incident. it's not clear if the two thefts are related. we did reach out to oakland police for more information. late last night in east oakland, a sideshow took over an intersection at macarthur boulevard and 106th. this avenue shows people watching as cars spin in that major intersection. this happened around 11:00 last night. once police arrived, the crowds broke up. at this point, no word of anyone injured or any arrests. >> it is almost 8.35 right now. the bay area is dealing with homeless issues and new incoming incoming issue for local officials to work with special elections and new mayors for san francisco and oakland. we're now going to talk to san jose's mayor, matt mehan, about some of these issues in our monthly one on one with him. mayor, good morning to you. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> so, mayor, i want to start with the l.a. fires and glean from you what you're discussing with your fire department heads, perhaps, or what the fires is

causing you to pay attention to when it comes to the citizens of san jose. >> well, first, let me just say my heart goes out to everyone in los angeles, especially those who have lost loved ones and their and their homes. it's a horrific tragedy. we have teams down there. we have 25 san jose firefighters in l.a. as we speak fighting these fires, and we're praying for their safe return. it's a moment that causes all of us to reflect on the risks we face. and i don't think any city in california feels comfortable that it has the level of public safety staffing that it wants, i think is a state we have underinvested in vegetation management. so i will be asking our council, our city manager, to do additional analysis on what else we can do. obviously, we face the same budget constraints as everyone else thanks to our voters support of a local measure. a few years back, we have been able to open an additional fire station, have another one under construction. we are incrementally adding our

capacity, but i know that we too can do more, and we're going to focus on on the basics like public safety in san jose. so we will continue to make investments in reducing fire risk here. >> and this is a great reminder that that that those safety measures are certainly needed. opening an additional fire station certainly i'm sure will help. let's move on to the this last thursday, your city teams were to start informing residents that they have to move their vehicles to safe parking sites so they'll start getting towed by january 23rd. is there an update on how this is being received by the residents of these communities? >> i've heard positive feedback. as i've said, i think residents, small business owners, families who want to take their children to the park deserve some relief. we cannot allow encampments, whether they're tent encampments or rv encampments, to persist indefinitely. at the same time, we need to give people places to go that are safe, managed, have basic services like sanitation,

security, some case management. and we're doing that in san jose. we are more than doubling our shelter capacity. we're building basic, dignified shelter, including safe parking sites. we have one opening next month that will have room for 85 rvs. we need other cities and counties to do the same thing. we all have to do our fair shar. as we add shelter and other safe places. we will hold people accountable for using them. it is not acceptable to choose to camp on city streets in public space and impact the broader community. so there has to be accountability on on both sides of the equation. >> mayor, i wanted to ask you this because this is something that that a resident of the community told us. they said they thought they might be okay because their license plates on their rv and their registrations are up to date. if these rvs are parked in these areas, but they have updated plates and registration, will these vehicles be vehicles be allowed to stay or will they be towed as well? >> well, the vehicle code requires us as the state code requires us to treat vehicles the same whether they're lived

in or not. we don't discriminate on the basis of a vehicle being lived in. but we will enforce the rules on the books. and i think historically, we and frankly, the rest of the state haven't done enough there. so the rules are the vehicles need to be they need to be operable, they need to be registered, and they need to move every 72 hours. these are public streets, public spaces. no one owns that space. it cannot be permanently parked or lived in. and so we need to enforce those rules. there are also areas such as schools and parks, where we will impose no overnight parking for any vehicle lived in or otherwise. we may have tow away zones and red zones, and so we will need to better manage conditions on the streets. but yes, if a vehicle is operable, it's moving. it's registered. you know, that may be complying with our laws. >> all right. let's move to this tech giants, of which there are many in silicon valley, are some of the biggest corporate beneficiaries of the h-1b visas,

85,000 of them issued every year. what is your position on them, considering how much they could be used in silicon valley and are used in silicon valley? >> yeah, well, i think two things can be true at the same time. i'm a former public school teacher here in san jose. i also was a tech entrepreneur and ceo of a couple of tech startups. you know, the frustration that people are expressing is very valid. we have underperforming public schools. we are not doing enough to prepare our children growing up here to take advantage of these great jobs and giving them those pathways to opportunity. we need to do a better job there as a nation. at the same time, the us wants to remain economically competitive. we want to be at the cutting edge. we should welcome the world's best and brightest, particularly when, as we so often do, we are educating them here in our universities. we should keep that talent. we're in a global competition for talent, for innovation, economic

strength. so i see both sides of it. and i think there's a way to achieve both. we want to continue to welcome talented immigrants, educate them here, keep them here, create pathways to citizenship that are that are legal and rational. but we also can never let that be an excuse for underinvesting in opportunities for all of the children growing up in our communities, creating pathways for students and schools here to also get those jobs as well. >> special election here. so far, four candidates have qualified for that special election to fill former council member omar torres's seat. that election is scheduled for april 8th. are you supporting any of the candidates? >> i've endorsed matthew quevedo. he's been on my team. he's a long time community leader and organizer, and i know he will focus on the basics of i have, as i have asked our city to do in california, we have far too often tried to be everything to everyone, and we need to get back to investing in safety and reducing crime, cleaning up our streets, getting homeless folks

into basic, dignified shelter and treatment, and controlling cost of living, particularly housing and energy costs. these are the basics. we need to be laser focused on them, and i know matthew quevedo will will have my back in doing that. so that's that's where i'm at on the race. looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. >> just a few seconds left here, five people in district three are applying for the interim job now. do you support any of them for the position? >> well, we need to read all of the applications. we'll be going through that process later this month. we'll have a new interim council member appointed in february. i look forward to reading all the applications and hearing their answers to our questions and our our council meeting on that item. >> all right. mayor matt mehan, thank you so much for joining us this morning. we've run out of time, but we appreciate all the insight you provided into the big topics of the day affecting san jose and beyond as well. thank you again for your time. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> all right. changes going into effect today for bart and vta riders, what the transit

la. the rams are still technically the home team. that might feel a little bit weird, but you can imagine that they had to do that because of what's going on in la. still, the la is the home team, the family of a missing oakland man who has dementia, asking for the public's help in finding him. >> they've taken to social media looking for information about their loved one. richard dumas was last seen saturday at about noon in the area of 81st avenue and iris street, not far from castlemont high school in east oakland, was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, black shoes. we see photos of him here on the screen. take a good look. if you've seen him, please contact police. >> time now is 847. some of the stories we're following for you this morning. a collision sending a san francisco police cruiser slamming into a building. this is on the corner of san bruno avenue and paul avenue. we're told the police suv crashed into another car and a building early this morning. both the officer and driver taken to the hospital with minor injuries. we've reached out to sfpd to find out what led to the

crash. >> firefighters in southern california bracing for an increase in dangerous santa ana winds. the winds, combined with already dry conditions, could slow efforts to contain raging wildfires. since those fires last started on tuesday. at least 24 people are confirmed dead. dozens more are missing. the palisades fire has burned more than 23,000 acres. containment rose just slightly from 13 to now 14%. the eaton fire. this is the one in altadena and pasadena, has burned more than 14,000 acres. containment went up from 27 to 33%. still, thousands of structures have burned. >> a man was arrested over this past weekend for impersonating a firefighter near the palisades fire. l.a. county sheriffs say the man was trying to burglarize a home. it was not the only incident, either. six people were arrested near the eaton fire, three for violating curfews, while the others were arrested on drug and weapons charges. at least two people have been arrested for allegedly trying to start other fires across the bay area. events are being held to help the victims of those fires. last night, an

electronic music venue in san francisco hosted a fundraiser. and this was the scene at the midway at the event in the dogpatch neighborhood. the event was thrown together in two days, and the organizer tells us the successful turnout speaks to the character of the edm community. >> there's a scene here of people that really can make change, do something, fundraise whatever it is, and look at what we have here. this is two days, how everybody comes together with the urgency. and it's just a testament to how tight knit this city is. >> there were also donation boxes for clothes and other essentials too. you can also join fox network's support of families impacted by the california wildfires. your donation will go directly to the red cross as it works to help people recover from this disaster. or you can visit ktvu.com/wildfire help to support different charitable organizations or use the code the qr code you see right there that's on your screen. 849 now, today, bart is tweaking its train schedule in an effort to make it easier for riders to

transfer to other transit systems. bart says some departure times will see minor adjustments as crews update bart's train control system. and bart says departures will shift by just a few minutes. bart will also synchronize transit schedules, make transfers faster, and promote an overall better experience. and today, the vta is also making service changes to dozens of its bus routes in santa clara county. most of the scheduling changes are minor. the transit agency says they reflect changes in traffic conditions and passenger volume, and includes lines that stop at the milpitas and berryessa bart stations, the stanford shopping center and the santa clara transit center. some routes will also be getting some new stops. >> all right. 850 some commutes are improving. others are not. this one is improving. i'm talking about highway four. finally, some improvement here. and also the bay bridge commute has improved quite a bit. but some of the other east bay east bay commutes are slow. for example, in northbound 880, pretty slow out of san leandro, getting into downtown oakland.

that's because of earlier issues. 580 is also slow. from edwards. southbound 880 is pretty jam packed between hayward and fremont, and the south bay commute is still pretty robust almost everywhere you look. getting into the west valley. now, what about today's conditions? let's go to steve for the weather. >> all right sal. thank you sir. it's all about the wind of change once again here. and boy, we are stuck in a bad pattern here. maybe some breaks into the month, but until then, we get these little systems clipping us. and they are there wind producers. so it's a north northeast wind for almost everybody. sometimes gusts up to 4050 miles an hour in the hills. napa airport 33 petaluma northeast to 32 oakland, gusting to 25. fairfield has been up to 30 even in the santa cruz mountains. look at that. santa cruz two observations north 13 to 15. and that's just a north northeast direction. and that in turn means everyone has that offshore breeze here. had a lot of 30s this morning, especially on the peninsula and santa clara valley, south bay. i think we'll see more of those again, unless

the, you know, the wind. once the wind tails off, boy, the lows will drop across the board here. but now we focus on southern california. that system is there. you can see about ready to turn their wind more offshore as well. so sunny and breezy here in town, if not windy for some. there's no rain in sight. and boy, everything is either a north or northeast wind pattern all the way out to probably early next week is the way it looks so blowing in the wind. the answer my friend. clear but breezy to windy for some wall to wall sun. some of that wind stays confined to higher elevations. can be rather blustery. 60s on the temps. it's the overnight lows. they'll be darn cold here going forward, but it's a quiet pattern. but it's a windy one off and on into the end of the week. >> you guys, thank you so much. the l.a. county fire. top of mind. some say documenting your home could save you time, money and stress after a disaster. when you join us on the nine, we'll talk with a reaor dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee.
