with her mother. we have the details of the gun battle where bullets flew through the air in one neighborhood. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> i'm gasia mikaelian. it is tuesday, january 14th. as expected thanks to steve paulson. temperatures are even lower than where we were yesterday. >> heat seat are going this morning. >> and the fan blowing. oh, boy. >> it's. it's much colder here, you two. no doubt about it. lots of 30s. santa rosa's 33, menlo park, 33 degrees. take your pick. there are plenty, even 44, in the city, with the sfo down to 43 and san carlos at 36. that's cold for them. and the reason being the wind speeds have tailed off. there's still a little puff of a breeze, but nothing compared to yesterday. and except for a few high clouds, which only people in weather probably see. we're chasing the sun today, and i don't think you'll have to go very far, because it's a cold

morning. frost advisory until 9:00. sunny for all. maybe a little afternoon breeze, but temperatures in the upper 50s, low 60s on the temps. all right, so here it's 5:00 in the morning, and i hope he tells us we're good to go to start. >> we are good to go to start. you probably have noticed, steve, that in the last day or two, most of these tech campuses have fired up full speed ahead. and we've had a lot of slow traffic. right now. it's early, of course, and we don't have a lot going on. we have some slow traffic on the altamont pass. we also do have some traffic that is a little bit slow in some areas, but for the most part we've been looking pretty good, especially with the commutes on the bridges, including the drive from oakland to san francisco on the bay bridge. it's light so far. it's 501. let's get back to the desk. >> could be the most challenging day of the week for firefighters battling the southern california wildfires. >> the santa ana winds down there are expected to increase starting this morning. the wind gusts could reach as high as 75

miles an hour. [applause] now you can hear the crackling from a new wildfire. it popped up last night near a golf course along the santa clara river in ventura county. it's called the auto fire. it's only burned about 56 acres. it's now 0% contained. firefighters are trying to keep that fire from spreading. the evacuation orders and closed roads were ordered. now, that region, as you know, is under a red flag warning that will last through wednesday. we expect another news briefing on everything later this morning. so far, at least 24 people have died in the fires. the palisades, eden and hurst fires have combined to burn 60mi!s. that's an area bigger than paris, france. first, the first fire is almost fully contained. it's 97% contained. the eden fire. 33% contained. the

palisades fire. 14% contained. firefighters worried that the strong winds fanning the flames could reignite either today or tomorrow. >> we're going through our darkest times. >> every house on the block is gone. except for one. >> we can expect to see more major climate disasters, and we need to figure out the insurance piece along with everything else. >> as evacuees are going back to see their properties, to see what's left of their homes, lawmakers are debating what to do ahead of a possible insurance crisis. now, a team from the department of the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms and explosives, they're trying to figure out how these devastating fires started. some residents in pacific palisades are pointing to what's left of a fire on new year's day, possibly sparked by fireworks. that location is the same as where the palisades fire started. police say it's just too early to rule anything out, but it

wasn't a huge fire, but it was bigger than a camp fire. >> it was, you know, an acre or larger, a little bit larger than an acre. and so that's a lot of area. and with 100 mile an hour winds, 80 mile an hour winds like you saw on that day, all it takes is one small spark. >> now, yesterday, at least five lawsuits were filed against southern california edison, accusing the utility company of not de-energizing all of its electrical lines. on the day the wildfires began. edison says it's supporting all of those people affected by the wildfires, but still has not reviewed each complaint, and the causes of the fire are still under investigation. >> bay area first responders are watching what's happening in southern california, and people who have been through similar disasters here are watching while reflecting on their experience. one of the worst fires to hit our region in recent history was the 1991 oakland hills firestorm. authorities say improvements since then include better fire training and response, as well as more collaboration between

agencies. bay area fire agencies are also planning to meet soon to discuss water supplies and water pressure, so firefighters don't run into the same problems being seen in los angeles. >> it really is a collaboration and a partnership with our community to make sure that we're a fire safe city. >> annually, we are inspected by members of the fire department who come and make sure that we've cleared the brush, we've cleared the overhanging trees. >> homeowners are adding more defensible space around their properties. many are replacing redwood decks with metal railings and fire resistant materials. authorities say there's no such thing as fire season, and that people should maintain their homes on a regular basis. >> our time is now 505. a four year old girl from vallejo is in the hospital now, after she was hit by gunfire during a shootout. now the gunfire erupted while the police were serving a search warrant in a neighborhood just north of six flags discovery kingdom. when the police arrived, they found the wounded little girl who was

riding in a car with her mother. she was rushed to ucsf benioff children's hospital, oakland. she's being treated for serious injuries. >> 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. >> now, other bullets fired during the shootout hit cars and one family's living room. it almost hit an eight year old child in that home. ktvu has learned at least four guns were involved in the shooting. vallejo police haven't said what led to the shooting, or if that family was the intended target. >> the executive director of the san francisco girls chorus is now out of a job following allegations of lewd actions at the kanbar performing arts center. according to the chronicle, they involve a whatsapp conversation that included pornographic images taken at the performing arts center. the now former director seth doocy says the images were sent after he refused to pay sextortion money. the board of

directors says there is no reason to suspect that any choristers or staff were victims of ducey's actions. >> our time now 506. well, san francisco police are contradicting the claims made by elon musk. musk about a violent attack near his company, the headquarters of x. now, musk's claimed over the weekend someone with an ax went after employees outside of the market street building, though it wasn't clear when he claimed it happened. the chronicle reports san francisco police says they have no record of that incident. it's not clear if the incident that musk talked about actually happened. >> there's a big focus on safety at the jp morgan chase health care center underway now conference in san francisco. just last month, you'll remember the unitedhealthcare ceo was assassinated at a health conference in manhattan. san francisco police have partnered up with jp morgan chase and nearby hotels to create detailed security plans, including more officers in union square. >> clearly, there's been an

effort to try and clean up the square. 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 conference is part of a greater effort to attract more visitors to union square, as businesses and restaurants there have seen slowing profits. some 8000 people are expected to attend this week's conference. >> well, as advertised, we thought once the wind speeds tailed off, it would get crazy cold. and that's exactly what we're seeing. i mean, these lows will come down a little bit here as we get towards 7:00. hollister 28, gilroy, 30. windsor. fairfax. lafayette, campbell and stanford, all at 32. and sonoma is 33. there are even 30s on the coast. pillar point is 39. rain. good luck. there's just nothing showing up. maybe the 27th, but that's that's an iffy. looks more cold and windy than anything else. i just think january is going to

go out as the third driest in san francisco's history. it's kind of the way it's looking, except for a few high clouds, no big deal. it's still an offshore direction, but the wind speeds, thankfully have come way down. but still, you know, ten, 15, maybe 20 up in the hills and it is east northeast. and man, that's a cold breeze. walnut creek is at 32 degrees. menlo park is 33. half moon bay 37. petaluma is 35 degrees. even out to fairfield. 37. livermore is down to 3232. there's fairfax now dropped to 32. sonoma 33. healdsburg 33. there's windsor 32. take your pick. they're all over. there's plenty of 30s and a few 20s. boulder creek 29. there's hollister 28. gilroy 30. santa cruz, aptos in there. campbell. saratoga, cupertino, santa clara and east san jose. man. that's cold. 14 in truckee, 21 south lake tahoe to ten in minden, reno and carson city at 16. this is just you know what? what are you going to do? it's high pressure and it's not going anywhere. and there is no sign of one drop of rain for at least

seven and probably ten days is the way it looks. so the sound of sunshine today. clear cold morning. frost advisory out. plenty of sunshine, cool to mild a little bit. little breeze maybe kicking up its heels in the afternoon. 50s and 60s, you guys. >> steve. thank you. another bay area school district facing a large deficit and discussing the possibility of school closures. what happened in a meeting in the north bay that drew more than 100 concerned parents and teachers, and stories of survival in the wildfires in l.a. county. >> how two brothers stayed behind and they helped save some homes. don't forget you can get more ktvu with our new fox local mobile app on top of our newscasts and the content from the ktvu newsroom. you can also see content from our sister stations all over the country. it is free to download on your apple and android devices. just search fox ococal in ur

in southern california. at least 24 people have died with both the palisades and eaton fires. containment numbers are growing, but fire officials say that strong winds are expected starting this morning, and that may hamper or roll back progress by crews. a red flag warning in the los angeles area stays in effect through tomorrow. >> well, so far almost 50 people have been arrested accused of trespassing in mandatory

evacuation zones. some of them even pretended to be firefighters. and ring camera video was released by the authorities showing looters going into an evacuated home. so far, nine suspects are charged with looting in the areas of the palisades and eaton fires. >> the los angeles rams held a moment of silence before their playoff matchup against the minnesota vikings last night. the game that was moved to 350 miles east to arizona due to wildfires. the rams jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. went on to win 27 to 9. they'll advance to play the eagles in philadelphia next week. >> our time now 514 santa rosa. now the latest bay area school district considering closing or consolidating schools. last night, the school district held its first of several town hall meetings. it's a response to the $20 million budget deficit. now, there are plans to close at least four schools by the end of the academic year in an effort to save $11 million over the next two years. the budget

deficit is mainly because of the loss of covid era federal relief funds and also a declining student enrollment, lack of kids. >> when i was first, when i got my first apartment, that apartment was $300. here i was able to raise my kids, be there for them. parents now are having to work more than one job. that same apartment is $3,000 a month now, and it's the same apartment now. >> back in 2012, 15,000 students were enrolled in santa rosa city schools. last year, that number dropped to just over 12,000. well, police in santa rosa are searching for a suspicious vehicle that was following children after school. investigators say a black jeep was following girls who were walking in the area of lehmer street and providence court friday afternoon. at times, the driver drove in reverse against

traffic trying to keep up with those girls. now the vehicle is described as a black 2008 jeep cherokee four door. it has some body damage on the left rear panel. if you have any information about that jeep, contact santa rosa police. >> we're hearing more stories of people taking extreme measures to help save lives and property. at the beginning of the southern california firestorm last tuesday in santa monica, first responders urged neighbors to evacuate their homes as the palisades fire approached. brothers tim and sean chose to stay behind to protect a home that's been in their family for generations. for nearly 30 hours, the brothers and a small group of neighbors sprayed down every home and lawn on their block. >> there's no fire department. there's no other people. if it wasn't for the few of us that stayed and kept everything wet and attacked the small spot fires arose, we would have lost this entire neighborhood the

same way that palisades did. >> the brothers say the fire came within five houses of their home and all. they say they saved nine homes on their street. >> our time now. 516. the chief of the u.s. forest service talked about some of the concerns about whether the federal government is prepared if fires spark up beyond los angeles county. >> i'm confident that we'll be able to get the resources we have access right now to about 15,000 firefighters that are not currently being used. that's not needed. so if things got out of hand, and let's just say that the wind conditions blew the fire back out into the wildland, we do have firefighters pre-positioned in a lot of different areas to look at that initial attack. >> now, the chief joined president biden and vice president harris talking about the wildfires. president biden has amended the california disaster declaration that allows for the state to get additional disaster relief. >> governor newsom said that he is expanding the legislature's

special session to cover funding for the l.a. wildfire response. the announcement comes as republicans in the state assembly call on governor newsom to hold a special session focused solely on california's deadly wildfires. the republicans said the state must do more to protect communities and shore up the insurance system. >> not having a solvent and sustainable insurance industry hurts all californians. for the rebuild of our future. without insurance, there's no mortgage loan. without a mortgage loan, there's no place to call home. for the majority of californians, the first hearing for wildfire related proposals is set for later this afternoon. >> legislation could pass soon after that. now, if you're able to give to fire survivors, we invite you to join fox's support of the american red cross. you can scan the qr code on your screen or visit ktvu.com/wildfire help to support the relief efforts in

southern california. >> indeed it's needed. our time now. 518 steve paulson is needed as well to talk about how cold it is and other weather related. >> well, there's really nothing else. it's cold, that's for sure. a lot of 30s here. low 30s, walnut creek, one observation, 32 degrees. and i mean take you can go north. you can even go on the coast. san mateo coast, half moon bay, 36, menlo park, 33 degrees, fremont 36. livermore is at 32. there are many. so we'll take a look around. lafayette, orinda, alamo and dublin are all at 32. pinole has dipped to 34. martinez, hercules, el sobrante. all in there. hayward, union city, castro valley, north dublin as well. so there are a lot to go around here as far as 30s and half moon bay, and we're bouncing between 36 and 39. pillar point was 39. now they're 46. so they're a little breeze has kicked up there. but take a look at atherton, menlo park, stanford, palo alto, 3233. even

san mateo, belmont 38 degrees and foster city 36. that's cold. 14 in truckee, 21. south lake tahoe, 16. carson city and also reno. high pressure just says i'm hanging out here for a while. there's no sign of any rain. maybe the 27th. that's kind of iffy. more cold and windy is really what it looks like than anything else. so i think we're going down with the third driest january on record. the sound of sunshine would be after a cold morning. there are frost advisories out. plenty of sun. little breeze will kick up. not a big deal though. 50s, 60s on the temps and it's a dry, dry pattern, but the lows will be really cold next few mornings. >> steve thank you. 520 now a special counsel report says president elect trump would have been convicted in his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. how the president elect is responding to the report, and the reason charges are not being filed. >> also, so what causes alzheimer's? we'll tell you how sleep could

- i had health insurance before. (discouraged) so expensive. i mean, i'm helping my mom out, i don't have that kinda cash. - ugh, i know. but you can get financial help now through covered california. it's totally affordable. you'd be surprised. they've got this calculator thing that shows how much you'll pay. - for real? - yeah! what are you doing not having health insurance, man? - hey, i know, i know... - here, let me show you... - we all have questions. covered california has answers and can find a health plan that's right for you. covered california. this way to health insurance.

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. 523. the justice department released a report from former special counsel jack smith, where smith says the justice department would have had enough evidence to convict president elect trump if he had not been elected president. in that report, smith said his team stood up for the rule of law, and he defended his decision to bring criminal charges against the president elect for his efforts to overturn the 2020

election. donald trump slammed the report, calling it fake findings. meantime, the inauguration of president elect trump is less than one week away. officials in washington, d.c, are preparing. there will be about 25,000 law enforcement and military personnel at the scene to secure the event. also, areas around the national mall and the u.s. capitol will have additional fencing and concrete barriers added for the inauguration. >> the biggest threat, i think, for all of us, remains the lone actor. >> in the meantime, the trump inaugural committee announced its schedule of the events with several receptions, rallies and ceremonies. they will start saturday with a reception and a dinner. and we're getting more information now about the musical acts that will be featured and performing during the inauguration of president elect trump. carrie underwood is scheduled to sing america the

beautiful at the ceremony. lee greenwood would perform proud to be an american the night before the inauguration. the village people, kid rock and billy ray cyrus are scheduled to perform at what was called a victory rally. >> 524 now to a health alert in which doctors say a restless night in bed can set you up for more than just a rough day, as they are increasingly linking bad sleep to alzheimer's. scientists say they think the disease is brought on by an increase in bad brain proteins called amyloid beta. those harmful proteins normally are cleared out while you sleep. poor sleep can lead to a build up. scientists are now taking a deeper look at how our sleep patterns, heart rate and respiratory system are linked to clearing the bad proteins. >> we don't think this is going to be a cure for alzheimer's, but we do think it has the potential to impact the developmental progression of the disorder. ultimately, anything that we can do to help improve the clearance of amyloid beta

and slow the progression is a win in our book. >> alzheimer's reduces memory and thinking skills over time. it's the most common type of dementia, affecting more than 6 million americans. elon musk says his company, neuralink, has hit another milestone in brain implant technology. musk says a third patient successfully received a brain implant. musk says all three patients implants are working well, says the company hopes to add up to 30 more patients this year. musk says since the first patient received an implant last year, the technology has been upgraded to include a higher bandwidth and longer battery life. no details were given about the latest neuralink patient or the effects of the brain implant. 526. victims of one fire burning in los angeles county have sued southern california edison. wha they're

a square and lots of police around, which gives some comfort. >> a big focus on safety surrounding a major health care conference in san francisco. how something that happened across the country is prompting changes here at home. then confirmation hearings in the senate start today for the incoming trump administration. some of the largest obstacles his nominations will face. >> 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. tuesday

morning, january 14th. it's cold outside. it's cold in the studio. steve paulson knows about both. >> i think we're hanging meat in here. yeah. seriously? yeah. it must be about 58 in here. but it's 30s out there because there's a lot here. except even parts of the coast are some 30s here. but livermore, 32, santa rosa, palo alto, 33, san jose. the heat island that they are now upper 30s as well. but there are plenty to go around. petaluma is in there. napa airport, walnut creek, concord, livermore, fremont, hayward, menlo park down to 32. san carlos 36. mountain view 34. one observation. half moon bay 36. because the wind speeds have tailed off, still a little puff of a slight easterly breeze, but nothing compared to yesterday and we are not looking for any rain anytime soon. chasing the sun. it won't take long today once we get cranked up. frost advisory until nine, but temperatures kind of cool here to start off. 50s and 60s. all right. sal is here to tell us

it's still good, right? >> it is still good. steve. and right now, you know, looks like the bay bridge traffic is looking good. it's not an all time low, but it is pretty light coming into san francisco. before you make it all the way across. there have been no major issues in the east bay, so this is still a time for you to get out there. there's some slowing on the altamont pass, though. 530. let's get back to the headlines. >> sal. thank you. a red flag warning now in effect for los angeles and surrounding counties. extreme winds are expected to last through tomorrow evening. firefighters say they're grateful for light winds over these past few days. they'll now face one of their biggest challenges yet in the fire fight. containment is going up, but 70 mile an hour wind gusts could roll back those gains. as of now, the palisades fire is 14% contained. the eaton fire is at 33% containment. as those fires continue to burn, investigators are already looking for clues as to how they started. ktvu ali rasmus in

studio with that part of the story. ali. >> yeah, the now week long firestorm in los angeles county has become one of the costliest natural disasters in state history and one of the deadliest. 24 people have died and another 23 are still missing or unaccounted for. investigators have not said anything publicly yet about how the two most destructive fires, the palisades and eaton fires, began. but the work to try and answer that question is already underway. a team from the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives came to the site where the palisades fire began one week ago. some people who live in the area and saw the fire when it first began say it appeared to start in the same spot where fireworks had sparked a fire on new year's day. several days before the palisades fire broke out. >> and there are a number of residents who were taking video when the fire started on january 7th that show that it started really close to, if not on the

site of, that january 1st fire. >> as for the eaton fire, it started in eaton canyon near the communities of altadena and pasadena, and in that canyon are several high power transmission towers and power lines. at least five lawsuits have been filed against southern california edison, the utility in southern california, from homeowners who lost homes in the eaton fire. they claim the power company's equipment started that fire. now, whether or not that's true has not yet been determined by investigators. the investigation could take months or even a year to finalize. but we do know that investigators have been inspecting those towers to get more answers. southern california edison, in a statement, denied that its electrical equipment started that fire, saying their analysis showed no, quote, interruptions or anomalies with their equipment. 12 hours before or immediately after the eaton fire started. back to you, garcia. >> ali. rasmus. thank you. law enforcement agencies in the l.a. area have arrested nearly 50 people who were in mandatory

evacuation zones and say some of the suspected looters had disguised themselves as firefighters. nine were charged for looting in areas of the palisades and eaton fires. >> 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 released ring video of some suspected looters entering an evacuated home. officers say they stole more than $200,000 worth of property in altadena. one man said he's taken it upon himself to act as a neighborhood watch, go out and film the car so they can see us with the license plate, and then they disappear really quickly. in the small city of azusa, 25 miles east of l.a, one man was charged with arson after

officials say he intentionally started a fire at a park. that fire was quickly put out. the man arrested at the scene. a firefighting plane that was damaged by a drone is expected to return to the skies above southern california today. authorities say a privately owned drone struck a water dropping super scooper aircraft last week. the fbi is looking for the operator of the drone. the l.a. county sheriff's department says it's arrested three people for flying unauthorized drones. interfering with firefighters is a federal crime, punishable by up to a year in prison and a $75,000 fine. >> our time now, 534. in san francisco, the j.p. morgan healthcare conference continues in union square, and first lady jill biden will be one of the speakers. ktvu is james torres is in san francisco to tell us how this conference is causing excitement in the city. good morning james. >> and good morning to you, dave. well, it's all happening at the westin saint francis. just behind me here at union square all week long. and it's the first major event in the

city under new mayor daniel laurie's tenure as the mayor of san francisco. more than 8000 people are expected to attend the conference this year, though the san francisco hotel council says likely about 20,000 people are in town taking up hotel rooms for a number of indirectly related smaller conference. all happening alongside that j.p. morgan healthcare conference. that's after all. of course, we're talking about lots of security, all of that happening after the assassination of the unitedhealthcare ceo, brian thompson, at a health conference in new york. san francisco police, as a result, have been lining up in and outside the hotel, and they will be that way for the duration of this conference. we spoke to the union square alliance, who say they're hoping attendees leave with a good experience in the city. >> 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 mayor himself, daniel laurie, spoke to attendees yesterday telling them more than 8000 people that san francisco, all of them, are here while the city is on an upward trajectory. today, first lady jill biden is expected to speak at the conference. it will last until thursday evening. we're live this morning from union square. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, james, thank you. time is 536 today in washington, d.c. the senate confirmation hearings begin for the incoming trump administration. pete hegseth is the first of the nominees to be questioned. he's president elect trump's pick to lead the defense department. he will be testifying in front of the armed services committee in just about an hour from now. the former fox news host is deeply involved in issues involving military veterans, but he's also dealing with sexual misconduct

pretty good and all the way across to the peninsula. 6:00 let's get back to the headlines. >> let's get back to that breaking news we shared with you just a moment ago here. a fire response underway on ellis street in san francisco's tenderloin district. our james torres at the scene here, there's a pretty decent fire response. we see lots of flashing lights. bring us up to date, james. >> yeah, garcia, we are just between larkin and hyde here along ellis street. just one block of traffic closed off this morning as fire department works to see what it is they are working with here. it looks like they're on the seventh floor. the top floor of the hotel essex here. at one point, a spokesperson telling us that there was an active fire. they evacuated some folks from the area. you see the truck still set up in front of the building, the ladder still up, connected to that top floor there. fire alarms are still ringing. we're not hearing any reports of any injuries. we're also not seeing an active fire at this point here. so it may be that the firefighters are on the back end and trying to clean up and

finish off whatever it is that they were dealing with today and this morning. but they do have one road, one block of the roadway now blocked off here along ellis street. several firefighters, at least two engines here on the scene this morning. and actually i see a third just around the corner. several firefighters are walking in and out of the building. looks like they're talking to some of the folks who might have been staying in the building as well. but again, no active fire, no smoke coming out of any part of the window or any part of the building here. that ladder still connected up to that top building, but no one on the ladder. we've actually not seen any firefighters on the ladder on the time that we've been here this morning. we are checking in with the fire department to learn exactly what it is that they are responding to, what it is that they have been dealing with so far. again, fire alarms still ringing at this point, but once we get that more updated information, we'll be sure to bring it along to you. for now, we're live this morning in san francisco. we'll send it back to you, dave and gasia james. >> thank you. now we'll move to a firefight of a different kind. people in los angeles are

bracing for strong and dangerous santa ana winds. gusts as high as 75 miles an hour are expected later today. >> wow. it comes as investigators try to pinpoint how the most destructive fires may have started. ktvu is ali rasmus in the studio with us now to explain some of the possible causes that investigators and now lawyers are looking at. good morning. >> good morning, dave and garcia. in the span of one week, the two most destructive and deadly fires in los angeles county, the palisades and eaton fires, have killed 24 people and destroyed more than 12,000 homes and structures. and as the fires continue to burn, investigators are already looking for clues about how this disaster began. a team from the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms and explosives came to the site where the palisades fire started one week ago. now, some residents and people who live in the area say that fire appeared to start in the exact same spot where some fireworks had sparked a separate fire on new year's day. >> it was, you know, an acre

large, a little bit larger than an acre. and so that's a lot of area. and with 100 mile an hour winds, 80 mile an hour winds like you saw on that day, all it takes is one small spark in a dry landscape with very low humidity. we've had very little to no rain in the past year in this area. and so it it doesn't take much. so it could be just one surviving ember. >> now as for the eaton fire, it started in eaton canyon near the communities of altadena and pasadena, and in that canyon are several high powered transmission lines and towers. this week, at least five lawsuits have been filed against southern california edison, blaming the utility and its equipment for sparking the eaton fire. now, the cause of this fire and the palisades fire has not been determined. it could take months, even a year to figure that out. but we know investigators have been inspecting those towers in eaton canyon. for more information and evidence about the fire's possible origin. now, southern california edison, in a statement, denied that its

electrical equipment started that fire. they say their analysis showed no, quote, interruptions or anomalies with their equipment 12 hours before or immediately after the eaton fire broke out. back to you, garcia. >> ali. rasmus. thank you. the chief of the u.s. forest service addressed concerns about whether the federal government is prepared if fire sparked beyond los angeles county. >> i'm confident that we'll be able to get the resources we have access right now to about 15,000 firefighters that are not currently being used. that's not needed. so if things got out of hand, and let's just say that the wind conditions blew the fire back out into the wildland, we do have firefighters pre-positioned in a lot of different areas to look at that initial attack. >> the chief joined president biden and vice president kamala harris to discuss the wildfires. president biden has amended the california disaster declaration, allowing for the state to receive additional disaster relief. >> our time now. 605. in washington, house speaker mike

johnson has joined other republican leaders who want to put conditions on federal aid for the fire victims in l.a. they say the approval of billions of dollars in federal funding should depend on major policy changes in the way california prepares for and responds to wildfire disasters. those changes involve forest management and the handling of the state's water resources because of shortages. democratic leaders say the republicans are playing politics with a natural disaster, and the lives of its victims. well, in anticipation of the very high winds about to hit the l.a. area again, tons of firefighters and extra water tankers are on standby. those planes also covered vulnerable homes and hillsides with fire retardant chemicals that will prevent the fire from getting worse or new fires starting. it will also prevent wildfire smoke that can cause several breathing problems. >> the department of homeland security says reports on social

media of immigration raids in parts of los angeles are not true. some people said there were raids in south l.a. neighborhoods, and that immigration agents also targeted cities including pasadena and inglewood, and claimed that immigration raids were happening at grocery stores. many immigrants are worried because president trump has promised mass deportations once he takes office, the department of homeland security released a statement saying, in part, ice and cbp do not conduct immigration enforcement activities along evacuation routes, sheltering sites or sites offering disaster related help. goes on to say it is committed to making sure every individual who seeks shelter, aid or other assistance due to a natural disaster is able to do so regardless of their immigration status. >> our time now. 607 santa rosa has become the latest bay area school district considering closing or consolidating schools, and many parents and teachers want to send a very clear message to school leaders before they make any final decision on this. ktvu is andre

senior in the studio with us now telling us about the emotional reaction to this school closing plan. >> well, dave, the district held its first of several town hall meetings last night in response to its $20 million budget deficit. it plans to close at least four schools by the end of the academic year in its effort to save $11 million over the next two years. the budget deficit is largely due to the loss of covid era federal relief funds, declining student enrollment as well, the hundreds of teachers and students packed the town hall meeting at montgomery high school to make sure their voices were heard. the district outlined a plan to save that money. most of the people attending the town hall meeting did not want to hear it. plans to close at least four schools by the end of the academic year. in its effort to save that $11 million i told you about over two years, the deficit, largely due to the declining enrollment in the schools that drop in enrollment, is being tied to the cost of living in santa rosa, which is driving many families out of the district. >> lack of kids. when i was

first, when i got my first apartment, that apartment was $300. here i was able to raise my kids, be there for them. parents now are having to work more than one job. that same apartment is $3,000 a month now, and it's the same apartment now. >> in 2012, 15,000 students were enrolled in santa rosa city schools. last year, that figure dropped to just more than 12,000. many parents are worried how these proposed cuts will affect their students, and there are special concerns among the parents of high school students getting ready for college. >> really, it's high school. high school is what launches you into your your life, college, work, whatever it is, your career. high school is integral, so keeping high schools open is really, really important. >> proposal number four, which is just to keep to make it seven through 12th grade. and that's the only one that keeps the high school. so that's what we're voting for. >> district leaders in santa rosa say these budget cuts are needed to make ends meet. they

share the same concerns as school leaders in san francisco and san jose. we've been reporting on. they say there is a threat of a state takeover, unless a school budget crisis in santa rosa is solved and solved quickly. and that would mean school district leaders in santa rosa would lose all control. as we mentioned, this was the first of several town hall meetings on this proposed school closure issue. another one is planned for today at piner high school in santa rosa, gasia andre senior. >> thank you. time now is 610. let's see what's happening in the morning. commute. this is typically the time things would heat up, right, sal? >> that's right. we do see more ramp up here for sure. let's go to highway four and contra costa county. i can tell you that things are getting quickly up to the normal commute route here, or the normal commute volume coming in just from pittsburgh to concord through all of bay point. here our camera is the bay bridge is backed up, not quite to the maze, but we're getting there rather quickly. this morning, as those metering lights went on about 20 minutes

ago. this is a look at the maps i showed you. highway four 680 looks good from benicia all the way into san ramon. so if that's your route, you can go ahead and take it before we get a crowd there. and also 880, a little slowing in hayward, but still pretty good. and so is the sunol grade. so this might be your chance. 610. let's go back to the desk. >> santa cruz city leaders meeting today to discuss key measures to recover from the wharf collapse after last month's storms. the proposals being put forth by the city council, and ideas to get more people to visit downtown. >> plus, an historic victory in berkeley for affordable housing. the tenants of a 12 unit apartment complex now own their building. the milestone, honoring a legacy

as two major wildfires are still burning in southern california, fire officials say that strong winds are expected and that may hamper or roll back progress by crews. a red flag warning in los angeles stays in effect through tomorrow. >> well, governor gavin newsom is now expanding the state legislature's special session to include new funding for the wildfires in la. lawmakers already postponed the beginning of the legislative session to prepare for legal battles against the incoming trump administration because of the l.a. fires. republicans in the state assembly say more must be done to be more proactive in maintaining forests and other wildfire prone areas, as well as

handling the state's home insurance crisis. well, a four year old girl from vallejo now in the hospital. she was hit by gunfire during a wild shootout. police say they were serving a search warrant in the neighborhood just north of six flags discovery kingdom when the shooting happened. the little girl was rushed to ucsf benioff children's hospital, oakland. she's being treated for serious injuries. >> san jose police are investigating that city's first homicide of the year. police say that officers responded to an apartment complex not far from rosemary elementary school saturday night. they found a man on a sidewalk with at least one gunshot wound. he was taken to a hospital, where he later died. police say the gunman has yet to be identified. >> our detectives are working relentlessly around the clock to solve this case. i mean, our homicide unit detectives have been outstanding. we've had 100% solve rate in 2022 as well as 2023. last year, around 98%. but our work doesn't stop there.

>> the santa clara county coroner's office has not released the name or age of the victim. >> our time is now 615. a group of tenants in berkeley really celebrating after a year long fight to keep their rent prices down. the 12 unit building on california street near carlton street, was built back in the 1960s as affordable housing. when the owner died in 2020, the residents found out the estate planned to sell the building. the residents asked the city to help give them funding to buy that complex. well, through the city's small sites program and the bay area community land trust, the city received the funding to turn this location into an affordable housing collective. >> we have an opportunity to stay here, which doesn't occur on a regular basis when buildings are sold, especially in berkeley. >> now, before it was turned into a co-op, that building was owned by the family of

businessman thomas hamilton. he moved to berkeley from tulsa, oklahoma, purchased land, and built the 12 unit apartment building. the family says it intention was to rent to people who just couldn't afford california's housing costs. >> i know he would be very happy and very proud that people would still have a place to live in this area. >> this was the third building that's been purchased under the berkeley small sites program. the rents for apartments are estimated to be about 1200 to $1800 a month for a one bedroom apartment. >> santa clara county has reached an agreement with hca health care to purchase regional medical center for $150 million. the county will take over operations of the east san jose hospital on april 1st. in august, hca healthcare downgraded the level of trauma, comprehensive stroke and certain cardiac services at regional medical center. the county says it plans to restore those services immediately once it

assumes hospital operations. >> time now, 617 today. city leaders in santa cruz are meeting. they'll talk about several measures aimed at helping the wharf recover from last month's big storms. the wharf was closed for almost two weeks after historic swells knocked a 180 foot piece of the wharf into the water on december 23rd. members of the santa cruz city council say approving new measures would make sure the wharf remains a vibrant part of the city for generations to come. and here's a look at some of the proposals. free two hour parking through the end of january. rent relief for wharf tenants and $50,000 set aside for promotional events. the city council also wants engineers to create a detailed structural study of the wharf to guide any future repairs and resiliency efforts. >> 618. straight back to the traffic center. sal, where are you looking at most closely? >> yeah, the east bay is usually where it starts getting busy

first. gasia and dave. and this morning it is pretty typical for it to be slow on highway four, for example. you see how slow it is there. these are the earliest commuters. a lot of the bay bridge commuters are arriving already. it's not terrible. we haven't had a lot of crashes, but we've had some slow traffic already on this tuesday. i see a couple of minor things have happened, but for the most part we've had a decent commute. and right now, if you're a south bay driver, you might want to get on the road because that commute still looks pretty good. 618 mr. steve paulson is here with today's weather. >> speaking of looking pretty good, sal, how do you do it? so i read your book. >> i read your book. i got to the chapter looking your best as steve paulson at five in the morning. >> all right. we'll take a look here. it's really all about everyone. east. i mean, we're cold, but it's really cold. much of the country. and guess what? there will be a plunge of arctic air as we head towards the weekend. i mean, bismarck, 19

below minneapolis nine, des moines one below detroit 13, chicago 14, even atlanta 32. but by this week, it's going to do. they're going to be a plunge like this. i mean, by late saturday into sunday, nothing for us. we get cold air though. hollister morgan hill, 28, fairfax, 31, dublin. lafayette. campbell, stanford campus and healdsburg, all at 32 cold degrees. so frost advisory takes us until 9:00 and for good reason. there are a lot of 30s in here, including the record low for today in san francisco on january 14th, 29 degrees in 1888. is that the coldest low ever recorded in san francisco? no. 29 happened as well. the following day, on january 15th in 1888, but the record low for the city is 27. on december 11th, 1932. plus, it snowed that day. that was an official snow day, just shy of an inch of

snow. so not only do they have snow, they have the coldest temperature ever recorded. man oh man, i've seen ugly patterns in my career and weather and this is one. i mean, it's the wind speeds have come down. that's true. but i mean the temps now they are plunged colder air continues to filter in here. so we're not getting rain, but we are getting a reinforcement of cold air here over the next couple of days. even on the coast we're seeing some 30s. if you get a breeze, it's 40. atherton's down to 31 i mean even, you know. 32 menlo park, stanford, los altos, palo alto in there. redwood city 35, foster city 36. that's cold. 23 in mammoth, 14 in truckee, 21 reno jackpot. and 20 in south lake tahoe. it's just i don't think anything's changing for 7 to 10 days. there's nothing showing up. maybe the 27th. 28th. that, though, looks more cold and windy than anything else. so the sound of sunshine today won't take long. clear, colder and plenty of sunshine. cool. tonight i think we'll get a little easterly breeze, but temps are coming down 50s and mainly low 60s. unless you're in the santa clara valley. lows

cold days, sunny but just not very warm. maybe even cooler by the weekend. there gusty soldiers who served during this war signed a letter saying we're we're not going to we're not going to play along with this game anymore. >> hundreds of israeli soldiers demanding an end to the conflict with hamas. the letter, signed by soldiers vowing to stop fighting ess "the doctor will see you now." but do they really? do they see that crick in your neck? that ache in your heart? will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year? a new bounce in your step? the way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you.

justice department would have had enough evidence to convict president elect trump if he had not been reelected. in the report, smith said his team stood up for the rule of law and defended his decision to bring criminal charges against the president elect for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. mr. trump slammed the report, called it fake findings. the inauguration of president elect trump is this monday preparations ramping up in washington. there will be approximately 25,000 law enforcement and military personnel on site to secure the event. areas around the national mall and u.s. capitol will have additional fencing and concrete barriers added for the event. >> the biggest threat, i think, for all of us remains the lone actor. >> the trump inaugural committee has announced its schedule of events with several receptions, rallies and ceremonies. those start saturday with a reception and dinner. 626 a housing plan for san francisco's great highway. why? some say it's the worst possible location for new

gus and i were talking. how cold? we're both cold. yeah. >> i joked, and everyone will get this. i feel like the little match girl, right? rubbing her hands together. >> did you turn the heat on this morning? i did, i did. all right. 30s on the temps, santa rosa, petaluma, napa, san rafael, walnut creek, concord, fairfield, livermore. hayward's in there. fremont. you'll see him in a second. san jose, mountain view, menlo park, san carlos, half moon bay, to name a few. there's a lot of 40s showing up here because the wind speeds have collapsed. so when you get i mean, there's still a little puff of east or northeast breeze, so we'll still have that, but we're under clear skies. you know, last week we got some warm temps. we had 70s. we're not looking for that. we will get lots of sunshine. but i'll tell you this is a cold pattern here. frost advisory until 9:00 for many inland locations and temps. now upper 50s to mainly low 60s. all right. sal's here at 631. we are off. to where? >> let's go to union city. steve, right now. and look at a

decent commute. lots of times. 880 hayward, union city. fremont. it gets busy right now. you have your chance. also in pleasanton. there's a little slowing on the sunol grade, but this is all pretty good. and here we are. you know kind of getting closer to seven. and we still have a decent commute. and i like that. i don't think it's going to stay that way for a while though. so you may want to get out there before things change. bay bridge is already backed up to the maze. nothing on the bridge to speak of when it comes to crashes or stalled vehicles. at 631, let's get back to the headlines. okay. >> thank you. sal. let's get back to breaking news in san francisco's tenderloin right now. firefighters rushing to a multi-story apartment building and ktvu. james torres, you're already there. so what do you know, dave? >> good morning. we are along ellis street, just outside the hotel essex. that's between larkin and hyde street here in the city's tenderloin district. right behind me is the san francisco fire truck. they're actually retracting a ladder that was connected all the way

to the very top of that building. that's good news, because that means what firefighters have done here is pretty much clean up everything they need to do. and now they're looking to clear the scene here. here's what they've told us from just a few minutes ago. the fire department says that they responded to a call of someone inside one of these units right on the top floor, reporting that their lithium ion battery from a scooter that was plugged in overnight might have caught fire. that created a bunch of smoke inside the unit, but thankfully it didn't extend farther than that. but they were asking some of the people who are also in this building to evacuate. most of them actually just sheltered in place. so it wasn't that dire of a situation, but enough to bring out at least three different fire engines and make sure that everyone here was safe. let's hear an update directly from a firefighter on the scene from earlier this morning. >> b the initial report from the resident of unit 601 that he was plugging his scooter in and it

overheated and started a fire in his unit. it looks to be all the damage is in the one room. they're going to open up the walls to make sure there's no extension of fire into the wall system. >> and no reports of any injuries this morning. that's the good news here. there is still one block of ellis street that is closed to traffic as of right now. again, that's between hyde and larkin. we expect that to open up pretty shortly after some of these fire trucks get rolling. you see and hear the fire alarm still going. we know these firefighters are packing up all the hoses that they had out here. all the equipment that they had out, all should be expected to be cleared out here in just the next few minutes. of course, we are keeping tabs with the fire department. once we learn more information and details, we will bring that to you. we're live this morning in san francisco. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you james. another round of powerful santa ana winds is expected to batter the los angeles area for the next two days. there could be a major setback in firefighting efforts

that began a week ago today. the national weather service expects winds will start ramping up this morning, gusts possibly reaching 75 miles an hour. >> the anticipated winds, combined with low humidities and low fuel moistures, will keep the fire threat in all of los angeles county. critical. >> another fire broke out near a golf course along the santa clara river in ventura county. what's being called the auto fire has burned about 56 acres. containment is currently at 0%. >> our time now 634. the region is under a red flag warning until wednesday. we do expect another news briefing this morning. so far, at least 24 people have died in the fires the palisades, eden and hurst fires have combined to burn 60mi!s, an area bigger than paris, france. hurst is. that's nearly fully contained now at 97%. the eden fire is right now

35% contained the palisades fire, 17% contained. well, the federal bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives sending its national response team now to southern california, trying to pinpoint the cause of the wildfire. atf is adding 15 new investigators from around the country working with those already there at the scene. the investigation will be split into two parts. one team will examine physical evidence at the scene. the second unit will check external clues like security videos and witness statements. some of these certified investigators specialize in wildland fires. >> governor newsom says he's expanding the legislature's special session to cover funding for the l.a. wildfire response. the announcement comes as republicans in the state assembly called on governor newsom to hold a special session focused solely on california's deadly wildfires. the republican said the state must do more to protect communities and shore up

the insurance system. >> not having a solvent and sustainable insurance industry hurts all californians for the rebuild of our future. without insurance, there's no mortgage loan. without a mortgage loan, there's no place to call home. for the majority of californians. >> the first hearing for wildfire related proposals is scheduled for later this afternoon. legislation could pass soon after. >> your time now 6.36. happening today, san francisco supervisors will take their latest step to get ready for president elect trump's second term, which begins next week. now, the board of supervisors is expected to speed up the final approval of $132 million in federal grant money going to six city departments. normally, that money would be reviewed by the city's budget and appropriations committee before it goes before the board of supervisors. but supervisors want the action now because of concerns the new trump administration may freeze

those funds. >> 637 straight back to the traffic center, sal, do we start in the east bay again? >> yeah. you know, the east bay seems to be the reliable place to start for the morning commute, just the way the traffic patterns are. a little bit later on, the south bay gets into the mix and the peninsula too. but right now, if you're driving to san francisco, there's a backup at the bay bridge. it's not nothing unusual. you will see some slow traffic there. you'll see some slow traffic, of course, on highway four, that's kind of a reliable one. it's backed up almost all the way to antioch. not quite, but almost. and once you get out of that antioch city limit, then you head over to concord. most of that drive is slow. it's 638. let's talk about today's weather. and we've been talking about how cold it is. i think even elsa would object. >> it's for us, sal. it's cold. right? for us? yes. all right. interesting climate data for today. i realize some of you are listening. you're not watching because you're puttering around

the house. i got to get going. the record low for today in san francisco is 29 degrees on january 14th and 1888. is that the coldest low ever recorded? no, but it's close. i'll show you just a second going. 5945 today. average is 5847. the record high almost 72,009 29. happened twice in 1888, on the 14th and 15th of january. but december 11th, 1932, the low dropped to 27 degrees. that is the coldest low recorded in san francisco, and that was officially a snow day as well. nearly an inch of snow fell on that day, a banner day for the city. as far as rain goes, our last decent rain was on the third. we had 0.01 on the sixth, but that doesn't really count. it counts, but it doesn't. so next rain, maybe the 27th. the ec, the eci global model and the cfs all hinting at maybe something. 13 days away. currently third driest for san

francisco. the driest was ten years ago. we didn't have a drop. we at least we've had a drop this time. the year before that we only had 0.06. we were sitting at 19/100 and i don't think anything is happening until maybe the end of the month. everything right now is offshore and these patterns usually last about three weeks. so i think we have about another ten days to go. there is still an east northeast breeze. it's not that strong, but that's why the wind speeds tailed off and temps have plunged. walnut creek 31, santa rosa 32. menlo park 32. livermore 3329. boulder creek. felton 28. hollister 36. aptos 37. santa cruz. campbell's down to 31. santa clara 33. i think you get the idea. it's cold across the board here. 12 and 20, truckee and south lake tahoe, carson city 16, reno 14. the high to the west, the low off southern california. that equals an offshore breeze or wind for some. and there is nothing in the next seven days as far as any rain. so the sound

of sunshine clear, colder. morning frost advisory until nine. i think a little breeze will kind of pick up a little bit later today. 50s, low 60s now, mainly so we're not as warm as last week. mornings, cold days, dry 50s and 60s. >> all right steve thank you. time now 640. today is the day the senate confirmation hearings begin for the incoming trump administration. we'll tell you some of the biggest bstacles faced by

storms. the wharf was closed for almost two weeks after historic swells knocked a 180 foot piece of the wharf into the water on december 23rd. santa cruz city council members say approving new measures would make sure the wharf remains a vibrant part of the city for the foreseeable future. and a growing number of israeli soldiers are coming together, speaking out against the israel-hamas conflict. they're refusing to keep fighting. hundreds of soldiers signed a letter saying they will stop fighting if the israeli government doesn't get a cease fire deal soon. the soldiers are often required to stay out of politics, but their refusal to serve is putting more pressure on both sides to stop the fighting and end the war. >> a group of palestinians is coming together to honor the legacy of late former president jimmy carter by planting olive trees. the advocacy group palestinian farmers union planted a grove of 250 trees in the west bank. leaders say the

former president's legacy is rooted among palestinians. he was one of the world leaders who supported palestinians fight for their freedom. >> i think this is the best way to commemorate president carter's legacy to the world and to the palestinian people. and i think planting olive trees that lives at least 100 years old like him, is a very suitable way to honor his life and his legacy and what he offered to all of us. >> the grove has been dubbed freedom farm and lies in the city of tulcan. during his presidency, mr. carter was responsible for brokering the camp david peace accord between israel and egypt in 1978. >> our time's now 645. today in washington, d.c, senate confirmations began for the incoming trump administration. these are live pictures. we're in the senate hearing right now. pete hegseth right there is the first of the nominees facing questioning. he is president elect trump's pick to lead the defense department. now, he says this testifying in front of the armed services committee. the

former fox news host is deeply involved in issues involving military veterans, but he is also dealing with allegations of sexual misconduct, which he firmly denies. his confirmation is far from a shoo in. >> this man is not qualified to run an applebee's, let alone the department of defense. >> he will be. demeaned. he will be talked about. but we're going to get him across the finish line. >> now, president elect trump and his republican allies want to wrap up most of this work before next week's inauguration. each of the nominees needs 50 votes to be confirmed. republicans have a three seat majority, but one seat is vacant. with the resignation of vice president elect jd vance. >> apple's board of directors wants to keep the company's initiatives for diversity, equity and inclusion. the board is recommending that shareholders reject a proposal from a conservative think tank

to eliminate dei programs. the national center for public policy research wants to drop dei initiatives, saying they could lead to lawsuits, customer backlash and divide employees. apple leadership says the proposal tries to micromanage company operations and policies. shareholders will meet on february 25th. starbucks is rolling back a rolling out a new rule meant to keep people from loitering inside its coffee shops. in doing so, starbucks ends or rolls back its open door policy, announced in 2018. the coffee giant now says people are required to make a purchase if they're inside a store or want to use the restroom. starbucks previously said that no purchase was necessary after a worker called police and two black men who were waiting for an acquaintance to hold a business meeting at a starbucks store were arrested. the company cites an uptick in unruly and dangerous behavior for what it called a policy update. in a statement to ktvu, a starbucks spokesperson said in part, we want everyone to feel welcome

and comfortable in our stores. implementing a coffee house code of conduct is something most retailers already have, and is a practical step that helps us prioritize our paying customers who want to sit and enjoy our cafes, or need to use the restroom during their visit. >> all right, our time is 648. we're going right back to sal castaneda. everybody behaving on those roads now? >> yeah they are. we do see most of that slow traffic be in the east bay until about seven, and then it starts shifting to the south bay as well. right now we have kind of a long backup on highway four from just west of the antioch line, all the way out to bay point and concord, which is just a typical commute. last week we didn't have that, by the way. today, the bay bridge backed up to the maze. metering lights are on, so things are becoming just a little slower there. 80 westbound, some slowing in richmond. it's not all that much. and the richmond bridge does have a stalled vehicle on it. you can see a little bit of slow traffic there. it's not too severe. san mateo and dumbarton bridge look pretty good. 649.

let's talk about today's weather. and here's steve. >> thank you, kind sir. yes, sir. all right. we'll get to it here. it's cold, that's for sure. a few 20s, a lot of low 30s. frost advisory until 9:00. we're just stuck in a pattern here that just offers no hope for rain. although i will add this last week, you know, we had 70s and it was warm. this. there are a lot of cold air continues to filter in here. i know the freezing level over oakland has been coming down, down, down. you don't have to go far. surface or aloft to find cold air. but everything is offshore, so we still get that slight east or northeast breeze. although wind speeds have come way down compared to yesterday, but you still get the offshore breeze. walnut creek now at 30 degrees. menlo park 32, petaluma. santa rosa 32. berkeley has dropped to 39, even 36. in san carlos. concord 38, livermore 33. although i have another good, good, good authority. there's another observation in livermore 30 degrees. so take your pick.

there's plenty to go around. fairfax and novato 31. petaluma. sonoma now is down to 32. healdsburg is in there. windsor has dropped to 31 middletown's in there, and upper lake is at 29 degrees. richmond, tiburon, sausalito. all low 40s. so it's cold for all here this morning. 12 and 20 trucking south lake tahoe. jackpot. reno, 21 degrees and ely at seven. alturas, 17 degrees. and i says i'm not going anywhere. i'm sticking around for a while. and then these systems develop and the low off southern california. and they still get some form of an offshore breeze or wind, although nothing compared to what they had the last tuesday. i don't see anything like that happening. there's no rain for us. some hints around the 27th. i will put that out there in case you work outside or your job takes you outside. maybe the 27th. nothing. until then. the sound of sunshine with us today. clear cold morning frost advisory. a lot of sun. cool. i mean, if you get that east breeze and you're about 56, 57
