and who police say may be responsible. also ahead, shootings, sideshows and multiple burglaries. the city of oakland reeling from a violent weekend. the news at five starts now. >> ktvu fox two news- [music] at five starts now. >> and good evening, i'm claudine wong. we start with fire crews continuing the push to contain the deadly wildfires in southern california. as we're now just hours away from a new wind event that could wipe away days of progress. here is where things stand at this hour. in all, the wildfires have consumed more than 62mi!s. that is an ara that is larger than the city of san francisco. cal fire says the palisades fire is 14% contained, and containment on the eaton fire has reached 34%. the death toll stands at 24, but that number is expected to rise as more victims continue to be found in the rubble. a red flag warning is in effect right now through wednesday night, with

the winds expected to peak tomorrow morning. ktvu jesse gary has been following that part of the story and joins us live in studio with more. jesse. >> claudine, good evening to you. and within the past hour, officials held a briefing about the eaton fire. officials don't believe that fire will spread beyond its current footprint. they say that the they are attacking hotspots. this, as claudine mentioned, a red flag warning now in effect until monday. wednesday evening. >> the potential for any of those hotspots that flare up spotting is very minimal. just because there are so many crews out there dealing with it. >> firefighters using favorable weather early monday to attack the inferno, still destroying large sections of the southland. advances that had been made fighting both the eaton and palisades fires could be undone by another severe wind event. the national weather service is classifying this as a pds, a particularly dangerous situation. >> from today through wednesday, we're expecting moderate to

locally strong santa ana winds across the fire, and with that, it's going to bring a continued critical fire weather conditions to the area. >> please be assured that all fire departments and all law enforcement agencies in the area will be prepared. the anticipated winds, combined with low humidities and low fuel moistures, will keep the fire threat in all of los angeles county. critical. >> officials say the atf arrived in the southland monday, and agents are investigating if one or all of the fires are possibly the result of arson. while the battle on the front lines rages, a new front line has emerged in neighborhoods that have been heavily damaged or burned to the ground, and fbi agents say they've recovered parts from a drone that crashed into a canadian firefighting plane that was on loan for this this incident down in southern california. they are checking it for clues, fingerprints, etc. they are building the case. they

promise they will bring charges against the guilty party. claudine. all right. >> jesse. certainly a lot to follow. we're hoping for a good night for firefighters, even with all these winds. thank you so much. in about two dozen oakland firefighters are currently on the front lines of the eaton fire. and they are just one of several bay area strike teams in the area trying to help eliminate the wildfire threat. for some oakland firefighters, the mission is also striking a nerve after the oakland city council voted to temporarily shutter a handful of fire stations to make up a budget deficit. still, one firefighter tells us the main priority continues to be about saving lives. >> it's truly devastating just to drive city blocks and see nothing standing, nothing remaining. and that is incredibly hard and incredibly hard to see, especially when whatever we do or what everybody's doing, doing their best to see people's lives

changed, lives lost, it's very hard. >> and with that, we do want to turn to our chief meteorologist, bill martin, to talk about these conditions down south. and we know the wind is starting to pick up. and man, they just want to know when it's all going to be over. and they can just, you know, start those red phase and those red flag warnings last into wednesday. >> so this windy condition, this this dry fuel, this this lack of rain is causing nothing but problems. and bay area, we can kind of relate to what's going on down there right now. because before the oakland hills fire became the oakland hills fire, there was a fire the night before they put it out, they mopped it up. they had it pretty much contained. but there's always hotspots. and those hotspots erupted. this is the oakland hills fire in the middle of the night when the winds came up. so now you've got two. we've got more than that. you got three really large fires, some spot fires as well. you've got an average of about 15% containment or 20% containment on these fires, leaving 80% of the fires not contained, meaning that hotspots could erupt. and

that's that's my big concern for tonight, tomorrow and into wednesday morning. the red flag warning in effect until 6:00 on wednesday covering these areas. and there's also the concern for other further fire starts. so this is a very kind of in real time, a very critical situation. the winds right now are blowing. you got gusts up to 18 miles an hour at the eaton fire. you've got gusts in the palisades fire up to 15 miles an hour. but the winds pick up late tonight and into tomorrow morning. we take a look at tomorrow morning's winds. i'll stop down at about 10 a.m. or actually 1:00 on tuesday. and you see that those colors, those contours, that's the wind zone. so that's the funnel. that's where the winds are going to be blowing. so lots to talk about, lots to think about. i'll run this model all the way through. when i see you back here. we'll look at some of the fuel moistures. and then of course your forecast, where we do have a wind advisory and a frost advisory in the bay area. >> okay. thank you bill. well, the los angeles county district attorney says nearly 50 people have been arrested for illegally

entering the mandatory evacuation zones. nine people have been charged with looting. >> the warning shot remains. do not go ahead and engage in looting. engage in internet scams. engage in price gouging. do not violate evacuation orders, and do not commit any of these crimes in which people are trying to profit from the tragedy of the people who have suffered from these various fires. >> authorities also released ring video of some of the arrested looting suspects entering an evacuated home, where they allegedly stole over $200,000 in property. and today, senate and assembly republicans called on governor newsom to hold a special session on california's deadly wildfires. the group held a press conference at the state capitol this afternoon, and this comes as lawmakers postponed a special session on preparing for legal battles against the incoming trump administration because of the wildfires. the republicans said the state must do more to

protect communities and prevent disastrous wildfires. they also say that the insurance market needs to be stabilized as rates soar and some carriers stop writing policies altogether. >> of insurers fleeing the state. and i'll tell you what's going to be really bad is when we don't have insurers, and all you have is the government. that's not a good situation, right? so we need to you know, it's not like there's an easy path. but again, a special session where we really come together and bring all the stakeholders and begin earnest and work on this. i think we can come up with solutions. >> the governor said today that he's expanding the current special session to approve new funding for the la wildfire response, and for better preparedness against natural disasters. and if you are looking to help the wildfire victims, you can use that qr code that's right there on your screen. or you can visit ktvu.com/wildfire help. your donation will go directly to the red cross as it works to help people recover from this

disaster. and now to a violent weekend in the city of oakland. police claim a brother and sister were shot as they were headed to the oakland swap meet near the coliseum. officials say the siblings were sitting in a car with their father when a suspect approached the vehicle and shot them both. the father, who was apparently not hurt, rushed his children to the hospital and they are expected to survive. so far, no details on the suspect. and late last night in east oakland, a sideshow took over an intersection at macarthur boulevard and 106th street. the video shows people watching as that car spins and that major intersection. and this all happened around 11:00 last night. and once police arrived, the crowds did break up. right now, no word if anyone was injured or arrested. and police are also investigating after a pair of convenience stores were robbed and burglarized overnight. police say a clerk at this 7-eleven on thornhill road in the montclair neighborhood was robbed at gunpoint. a chevron extra mile store on peterson street near pierson street near 580, was also

ransacked. and there's no word from police on whether those two crimes might be related. they are asking anyone with any information to give them a call. and new at five, a four year old girl is in the hospital tonight after she was shot during a chaotic shootout in vallejo, where dozens of rounds were fired. our crime reporter henry lee is live at the vallejo police department tonight with the very latest. henry. >> well, vallejo police were actually serving a search warrant in the crest neighborhood when they heard the gunfire that led to this four year old girl getting shot. i've also learned that shell casings from at least four guns were recovered. >> you've offended and hurt somebody that couldn't defend themselves. what kind of coward are you that you pick on people like that? >> harold diaz is in shock after a weekend shootout left a four year old girl critically wounded and left the vallejo neighborhood he grew up in riddled with gunfire. >> we don't respect each other. you have to live in this certain parameter to be able to be respected and protected. and it shouldn't be that way, you know?

>> a gun battle between people on the street and others in a car broke out about 830 sunday night near mark avenue and sawyer street in the crest neighborhood. more shots were fired a block away at sawyer and gateway. i've learned a four year old girl was riding with her mother who happened to be driving through the shootout. the girl ended up getting shot and her mother drove her straight to a vallejo hospital. the girl was then transferred to ucsf benioff children's hospital, oakland, where she's being treated for serious injuries. the girl's grandmother told me by phone, we do thank jesus that she is in the land of the living. vallejo police are investigating. i've learned there are at least four guns involved in the shootout. >> this is a senseless act of violence, and it has left a mark on the vallejo community. and our officers are determined to bring those responsible to justice. >> pop pop pop pop pop pop pop. you know, like pow pow pow. >> this man, who, like many, didn't want his face shown, thought he was fireworks at first. >> i counted about 30 casings that they already put the cones out on. look further down this way. and seeing this whole area

was full of cones. something's got to stop, man. >> nobody deserves to have to worry about getting hit by a bullet. intended or unintended. >> it sounded like machine guns. there was. it sounded like it was never going to stop. >> this woman says her son is lucky to be alive. >> there's a bullet that went through my house, through the wall, onto my couch, to where my eight year old son was sitting at. >> down the street. other rounds flattened a tire and pierced this 2025 gmc pickup truck this woman's husband got a week ago from the dealership. >> and i honestly thought that they were shooting at my house. that's how it felt. it's just horrible. it's horrible. it's just it doesn't feel safe. >> now, residents and police tell me there has been a recent uptick in violence in the crest neighborhood, including a shooting on new year's eve. vallejo police are checking for any connections. live in vallej. henry lee ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. we want to head now to san francisco, where there was a dramatic scene after a police pursuit ended with both

the officers and the suspects vehicles smashing into a building. we want to show you the scene about 330 this morning. this is at san bruno and paul avenues near the bayview district. police tell ktvu the officers observed the car driving recklessly, and when they tried to pull that car over, the suspects took off. then, after this violent end to the pursuit, the two suspects tried to run from that scene, but they were taken into custody. the suspects and the two officers were all hospitalized for injuries from that crash.

wildfires were, at least 24 people are dead as two major wildfires continue to burn across the los angeles area. and now dangerous santa ana winds are back through wednesday, and locals are stepping up to fight those flames and just try to clear that debris out themselves. fox's sarah alegre is in the pacific palisades, where that community is taking action. sarah, what can you tell us about really kind of how are dealing with these winds being back now and, and really preparing for what is a long night? >> you know, they're still feeling the sense of urgency, as you can imagine. because when you look at the area that i'm surrounded by, i mean, we're looking at flattened frames, these homes, beautiful homes, reduced to ashes, reduced to rubble. it's really hard to make

out what this all once was. and we're looking at billions of dollars worth of damages here when we want to rebuild later down the road. so these residents, they can't sit still. they want to do something. clearing the debris, helping those firefighters, especially as this debris can cause some dangerous conditions for the men and women battling those flames. and so they're just taking matters into their own hands. >> i've gotten several phone calls saying there's a fire in fire prone los angeles. >> calls for help can come often. >> there's nothing else we can do. we're just trying to keep everything wet here. >> chuck hart is a contractor by trade. >> it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. >> but tuesday he fought fire out of necessity. and while he's used to stepping up in his pacific palisades neighborhood, i would have never thought that what i'm seeing right now would have yielded from the phone call that i got. >> ryan, can we get a little bit of water over here real quick? >> hart and his team of contractors tried to save what they could as hurricane force

winds tore through pacific palisades. >> like his mom's home, a beloved church, and generational memories. but resources were slim. >> if we had water like we had water, we were good. but if you don't, same thing up the street at the church. i got a video of us hoses are stretched department right behind the church. >> we visited that church and ran into arborist eli johnson and his wife, nicole. >> it's really one day at a time. >> they've got boots on the ground. just days after losing their own home, now doing what they can to help chuck's team and a community they love cleaning roads, fallen trees and making a path for firefighters. >> this is where my roots are. >> so just to you, protect that. >> meanwhile, over 26,000 californians are waiting for help from fema as hundreds of homes destroyed and families displaced. >> that's what's going to make this whole thing come back. the quality of the people that live here. you have hard working, civic minded, service minded

people that are involved, whether there's a fire or not. >> and we still got that red flag warning out through friday, an extreme fire threat through just about wednesday. and you also got california governor gavin newsom issuing an executive order. when it comes to clearing the debris. he wants to get those resources on the ground because we're not only a threat right now. this debris only adds to that. but let's talk about later down the line. we're still under this winter weather. it's the winter season, i should say. so when that rain eventually does come, we have the risk of those mudslides and flooding caused by the damages of this week of fire that we've dealt with. and of course, the days to come as those firefighters continue to battle the flames. claudia. >> well, and certainly i know everyone wants to help and it's hard when you can just not do anything. so certainly when you watch the folks in your story being able to be out there and doing something, are they in

areas that are still cordoned off or are these do they get special permission to get into these places? because certainly there's been a lot of talk as well about making sure everyone who is in those fire zones or dealing with the devastation are safe. >> yeah, they're getting special permission. that's an excellent question because they law enforcement, when i say they are doing a really good job at blocking off this area because it's just still a threat, and then you also have the other danger, as we talked about through the course of this coverage, the people that are breaking in, the looting activity that we've seen as well. so they're being very strict about who's allowed up here. but the man that i introduced you to, chuck hart and his team, they've made an excellent relationship with law enforcement and have showed them, you know, we're here to help you. and so you have organizations like that, volunteer organizations that are getting that access because they need help, too. i mean, we have so many people on the ground, so many boots on the ground. but just given the immense devastation that is surrounding me, it just isn't enough when you look at it, and it's hard to explain it with the words that i

have right now, but just seeing it isn't enough. it just it's so much damage. and so anybody that can help and that they've allowed access to this area, they're going to accept that help because we have the los angeles department of water and power there trying to get rid of those trees. you can maybe hear the buzzing in the background right now, those downed power lines as well. but any additional resources, that goes a very long way. we have to think step by step at this moment, the here and now. because just a little bit of effort, a little bit of effort day by day will eventually hopefully go a long way here. yeah. >> certainly important to note there arborists, their contractors, they know what they're doing. so if you have expertise in the field and as you noted this will be a long road. there will be time to help if you can't help in this moment. all right, sarah, thanks so much for that live report. we appreciate it. well, parents in and far beyond the southern california fire zones are having difficult conversations with their children about what is happening on the ground. so child psychiatrists say it is natural for children to feel anxiety during a disaster, even

if they're not directly impacted. doctors say it is important to validate your child's feelings, give them room to express themselves, and help them maintain their daily schedule. >> 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. >> experts say parents should stress that a child's home is a safe place and share their preparation plan for the family and community in case of a fire or other emergency. if it happens in their neighborhood, and it may be time to seek professional help. if a child is crying more than usual, not eating well, or has disrupted sleep, a couple things going on here with the weather, certainly here and there, southern california, it's dry here as well as dry there, except we've had a lot of rain. >> there are about 1% of rainfall average at l, ax1 percent of where they should be for this time of year. marin county and areas north up to 200%. so we're fortunate that we have had rain because this would

be a different, potentially a different scenario, right? we could be seeing the same issues they're having with these because our winds are offshore. we had a wind advisory last night. it's been dropped, but we still have the wind. but fuel moistures are higher. the ground is wet and we're doing okay. but as we go further down the road waiting for rain, the next chance of rain is like the 21st of january. and even then, that system looks like it doesn't want to get into southern california. so here's the long range model. i'm not trying to be the bearer of bad news. i'm just like, okay, this is you know, this is some serious stuff, especially for southern california, because they could use the they need a little bit of rain. right? they don't want heavy rain because they would see mudslides and concerns in the fire zones. but you do need something to kind of help to really squash out these embers and the spot fires. so the models provide nothing. this is the long range model. there's the big ridge of high pressure. some clouds come in, but that's it. a few kind of inside slider things that could bring maybe a shower, a snow shower to lake tahoe. but it stays dry and it's

dry for a while. so that's the big story, i think, is that you've just got this continuance of very, very breezy conditions, which will continue because that's just the way it is. when it's dry. that high pressure builds in, the low goes by, the high creates the santa ana the low and the high balance creates the santa ana winds and it's feedback loop. and so this will continue until we get a system in here to kind of flush out the pressure systems. here's a live picture outside. beautiful beautiful night in the bay area. we're fortunate we had rain. really fortunate. it's a lot of luck isn't it? i'll see you back here in a little bit with the full forecast. >> okay. thank you bill. well, san francisco's new mayor, daniel lurie, welcomes thousands of attendees at a health care conference in union square, reassuring them the city is the right choice. visitors telling us they do notice a difference in the city by the bay i've been before. >> i see a lot of improvement and i would love to see more beuse the 's alway

away in san francisco today. and it's not just a chance for mayor daniel. lurie to make an impression on those in the health care field. it is also. the industry's first big conference since the alleged murder of the. united health care ceo. so as you can imagine, security is top of mind. ktvu christien kafton joins us now live from union square and christian. the city is expecting thousands of people to be in the city for this week's convention.

already a very busy time. >> absolutely. a very busy time for the city. that convention taking place right behind me in the westin saint francis, where security is very tight. the city, as you said, looking to show off its best side to the visitors. the j.p. morgan healthcare conference has taken over san francisco's union square. the conference has drawn an estimated 8000 conventioneers to the west, and saint francis san francisco mayor daniel lurie addressed attendees on the first day, telling them they've arrived. as the city is on an upward trajectory at this very moment, san francisco is at an inflection point, and in this new era, our potential has no ceiling. >> i'm glad you bet on san francisco and brought your conference here. >> the conference has an outsized impact, drawing other conventions to the city to coincide with jp morgan's alex bastian from the hotel council of san francisco, said it's meant full hotel rooms around the city. >> so we're talking about 20,000

people in total, probably in town around this time. we have about 8000 here for j.p. morgan, but we also have a lot of people that come here for those indirectly related conferences. >> the conference in san francisco follows the high profile assassination of unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson in manhattan last month. with that in mind, there is heightened security in the union square area. dozens of police officers on patrol even posted inside the lobby of the saint francis. san francisco police confirmed that significant work went on behind the scenes, with j.p. morgan and hotels in the area to work on detailed security plans. >> this cannot be done without the partnership and collaboration between the hotel industry and our law enforcement partners, especially san francisco police department. >> some of the guests attending the conference say they've been to previous conventions in san francisco, and say they've noticed the increase in security. >> clearly, there's been an effort to try and clean up the square and lots of police

around, which gives some comfort. i did walk around last night as you go up the hill. it did feel a bit unsafe in places, but i appreciate the effort the city is putting in. >> the union square alliance said the conference is bringing visitors to hotels and restaurants and businesses in the area. the aim is to send those visitors home with a great impression of union square and san francisco. >> absolutely. 8000 people concentrated right here in union square. this is not the convention center. this is union square and all things surrounding this district. 8000 people generating over $92 million in economic impact. that is huge. >> the hope is that a successful conference will bring more conventions and conferences to the city. the conference runs through thursday. we're live in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, the santa ana winds are back in southern california. firefighters are racing against the clock to contain what they can before those dangerous winds

pick up even more overnight and helping pets caught in the southern california firestorm. who now needs shelter. san francisco's muttville senior dog rescue joins us next to talk about the special weekend trip made by volunteers.

in southern california, but another round of strong santa ana winds are threatening to spark more flames. nearly 100,000 people remain under mandatory evacuation orders, and there are so many needs to address for the victims of these wildfires, including the growing number of animals who lost their homes to the flames. but several bay area organizations are answering that call. volunteers from the muttville senior dog rescue in san francisco have just returned from l.a. county with dozens of dogs and cats. and this is video of some of those animals arriving into the bay area now. to be clear, these are animals who were already up for adoption, and groups like muttville are simply helping clear space in those shelters in southern california to make room for other animals who were displaced. here now, to talk a little bit more about these efforts is sherry franklin, the

founder of muttville, with a couple of friends. thanks so much for joining us. who do you have there? >> welcome. our two newest la friends that have arrived here. our new immigrants from from la to san francisco. and this is sierra and kit. they made their way from pasadena humane yesterday, along with a couple more. >> sierra and kit are gorgeous animals. they are gorgeous. can we talk about what your numbers were before your volunteers went down there this weekend, and kind of what your capacity looks like now? >> sure. well, we just moved into a new location where we have a thank goodness we have a larger capacity to handle a little bit more of the dogs that need us. i mean, for whatever kind of crisis which this one is, you know, more than what any of us ever wanted to find out about. and so we are planning to

take at least 50. here's another little dog. we are planning to take about 50 dogs in from the southern california area as they as they need us to. we are getting ten, probably ten more tomorrow. we've been working so hard with our whole community here in san francisco. everybody stepped up. we have vans filled with donations to go down as needed. you know, crates and dog beds. i mean, people have lost everything. so we are going to be helping to support them long after the fires are out. it's going to be a long term project for us to keep helping the animals in need down there, which there's going to be plenty of that. >> yes, there will be. it will be a long road ahead. certainly. and we've said it before. it bears repeating for people who get concerned that these animals belong to some of the fire

victims, these were animals already up for adoption. they were not displaced. but are they all seniors? i mean, usually muttville takes in these these senior animals. are you? we are. >> we are taking in all the seniors because nobody else wants to really deal with seniors the way that we do. we're also going to be we have a full time veterinary program here, so we'll be able to really take care of all the health needs of these new dogs that are arriving from these shelters. a lot of them haven't seen vets yet. we expect that some of the younger dogs might be scooped up, which i hope that happens, and that these old dogs, we're here for them. i mean, we're known for our beautiful, wonderful senior dogs. and we will get the dogs adopted. and that is my big ask of the day, is we need adopters, because the faster we can get, some of these

dogs adopted, the faster we can move in more of the dogs that are coming our way from los angeles. >> so if anyone was on the fence and they were like, oh, i meant to go down there, this is the time to go down there and find that that perfect animal that you've been waiting for. at muttville. can i ask if people can't? not everyone can take in a pet. is there are there other ways in terms of care or volunteers or ways they can also help? >> certainly there is, i would say, to watch for our social media number one, because we still we have a lot of donations here ready to go, and we are waiting to hear what more they need down there. and as they as the needs come up, we will be sharing that. we'll share that with you. we'll share that on our our social media pages so that people can bring their donations here. and then we'll get them down there to the right shelters that need or the right, you know, humans that are trying to, you know, contend with what

they can. >> yes. >> yeah. with whatever else they have to deal with right now. and i just we will we will keep people abreast. this is not this is not going to let this is this is going to be a lot like i said, it's going to be a long term project. and we plan to stick with this project and bring in and help as many animals as we can. and like i said, at our new space here, we have the ability to bring in 50 dogs all at once, pretty much to get them out of dangerous way. and we are making sure that all of the dogs that we are getting are not. they don't have guardians, they don't have. we are not taking it home. >> yes. they aren't displaced. no one is looking for them. they need a home. and so important. well, sherri franklin, the founder of muttville senior dog rescue. you guys always do great work. i know those dogs are lucky to have you looking after them. and all the dogs you have introduced us to are absolutely

adorable and people need to know there's many, many more. so we'll keep in touch with you as this work, as you said, continues. thank you so much. >> thank you too. >> all right. well, workers and volunteers with the san francisco spca are also heading down to los angeles to help animal shelters there. the spca is also waiving all adoption fees so it can receive adoptable dogs and cats in those fire torn areas, and the group is going to be heading back to the bay area on wednesday, and they will also have several new animals ready for adoption. and again, also with the spca, as we just confirmed with muttville, these are not pets that belong to fire victims. these were animals that were already in the shelters looking for homes. and these wildfires are another reminder to harden your home by clearing defensible space. experts recommend documenting what is inside to help recoup some of those losses in the event of a fire. realtor hilary murphy, of village associates in orinda, says videos or photos taken annually will help make sure claims include upgrades as well as your possessions. and she

says that was crucial when her parents santa rosa home burned in the 2017 tubbs fire. she adds it's important to make sure you're not underinsured. >> make sure your policy is up to date. most people set up their policy when they buy their home, and they never think about it again. but the cost to rebuild it has gone up and up and up in california. and so you really want to make sure you have adequate coverage, that you have extended coverage in case you need to replace your home. >> murphy also says fire safety has become a big piece of the real estate puzzle, as some buyers are now, including insurance contingencies in their offers so they can pull out of the deal if the property can't be insured. sellers are also being more proactive with vegetation management, so everything is up to code before that home changes hands.

are diverse businesses. the agency signed the equity in infrastructure project pledge at the milpitas bart station today, and the goal is to provide historically underutilized businesses or hubs with contracts in public projects. those are businesses that are more than 51% owned by women, minorities or disabled veterans, the agencies say inclusive practices are essential to build wealth in diverse communities. >> very intentional about providing these opportunities, about having historically underutilized businesses prime projects instead of always subcontracting. this is how we create generational wealth. >> the agencies that have signed the voluntary pledge include

bart, sfmta, ac transit, vta, caltrain, and samtrans. they joined 74 other transit authorities across the country, working to provide opportunities to hubs, and bart has adjusted its train schedule to try to make it easier for riders to transfer to other transit systems. as of today, the agency says departure times will shift by a few minutes as crews continue to update bart's train control system. bart claims those changes will make transfers faster and promote an overall better experience. the vta is also making service changes to dozens of its bus routes in santa clara county. the transit agency says most of the scheduling changes are minor to reflect changes in traffic conditions and passenger volume. it 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. >> already. temperatures dropped a few degrees today. yesterday we had upper 60s, some mid mid

60s, 68, 69 degrees i think in vallejo yesterday. temperatures today down to a good five degrees from there. so lots of low 60s, no 70s. we did hit 68in morgan hill. actually we did hit 70 in san jose. just when i said no 70s, but generally cooler a couple of places where just a teeny bit warmer, but generally overall most of us cooler. so the wind advisory has been dropped. the frost advisory is in effect again tonight, second night in a row, and the long range model just shows everything going up over the top. and that's sort of the big concern is as we go through time here is okay, where's the next rain even even for us. snow for the mountains. right? at some point our fuels will dry out as well. so the models are very shy about putting anything in here in terms of rainfall until around the 21st or 22nd of january. beautiful shot of the golden gate bridge. this happens from time to time, by the way. we get we get some real wet, you know, fortunately wet fall, wet wet early winter and then things shut off. and that i've seen it

numerous times over my many years. so it doesn't mean it's not going to happen, but it does make it tougher to have above average rainfall season when you lose essentially an entire month. the frost advisory there it is. we do with that what you will the frost advisory again i to me it's just sort of like trying to get the windshield clean. i don't know, but i think if you're a horticulturist or someone like that, it probably does have impacts on things that matter to you. here's the wind forecast and i'm just going to push through tomorrow morning. you can see there's no the winds have died down. so that's why the wind watch or the high wind advisory has been dropped. and then into wednesday as well. so our winds are fine offshore winds, diablo winds. but in southern california we know this period through wednesday they're going to have some pretty robust offshore winds. and that's a major concern because of the burn zones, because of the lack of containment of the fire perimeters. and that creates the potential for a fire that, you know, like the fire started a week ago. right? a lot of

hotspots start showing up about a week later. you know, you're buried under rubble. whatever buried in the dirt, roots of trees actually continue to burn. and so it's very difficult to get full containment on on fires. and that's where we are right now in southern california. the forecast highs for tomorrow. there you go. 60s, low 60s, warmer or cooler. pardon me than today certainly. and then the five day forecast. so good thing we got a bunch of rain. i'll tell you what i mean. fortunately for us la is wishing they had gotten some rain. they are very far behind where they need to be. wh i come back, we'll update the forecast. that's tonight at six. >> okay. thank you bill. well, the warriors held an event today aimed at helping girls to be the next scientist, astronauts and engineers. a group of middle school girls was given a hands on, behind the scenes tour of the golden gate bridge. and ktvu betty yu hosted that gathering for the warriors. this is the team's first of two girls and steam events. steam, which stands for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math,
