i want to update you on noaa, the weather report for the winter that comes out.t is going to have a direct impact in terms of natural gas and heating demand here in the u.s., which will also affect what we can ship out for the likes of europe on the u.k. noaa is saying they expect below average temperatures in alaska and the pacific northwest and above average temperatures in the south this winter, plus wet conditions across the northern u.s. so wetness in the northeast, and everywhere else is going to be above average to mergers. some of the it won't be that bad. i don't know. guy: but that is just north america. they are not making a production for over here. alix: just the u.s. guy: so you guys look ok. it is going to be a bit colder up north, something i am very familiar with. that sums ok. that sounds like a manageable situation. isaac what everybody is worried about is this kind of really cold northern hemisphere winter, which doesn't sound like we are quite there yet because that is going to impact russia, impact europe. that is going to be the challenge h

noaa said with high confidence it was oil. but it wasn't until the next morning at 8: 55 a.m., more than 12 hours after that first call, that amplify energy reported a spill, saying it had shut its pipeline. >> we weren't aware of any oil sheens or issues. >> reporter: david, this is the busiest port in the nation. just minutes ago the coast guard telling me they are looking into the possibility that one of these massive ships anchors dragged that pipeline. whatever it was, it must have been enormous to have pulled that concrete incased pipeline, a mile-long section of it, nearly. that is the coast guard also telling me they are expecting that oil to continue to move southward, all the way to san diego county. david? >> all right, matt gutman there in long beach tonight. matt, thank you. >>> now to president biden in michigan today, making his case on his infrastructure bill and on the larger bill that includes paid family leave, early education, pre-k and expanding health care for seniors. and tonight, signs that there has be

another $80 million for noaa for the detection of droughts, floods and wildfires. is that enough money? can you start taking care of this problem? guest: it's a great question. the answer is, i'm not sure. we just finished our modeling across all of the country to understand what is at risk today. now, there is a secondary analysis that can start to be done on what we were trying to fortify the we were trying to harden against this risk. but would that cost? the dollars and cents that go into that -- i do not know what the specific numbers, i cannot tell you if it is enough. but i can tell you what the risks are and where we see them. the restaurant fema and those dollars, those are for specific problems which are definitely needed. our model is dependent on those types of organizations providing data so we can do the root -- work, so we can create a model and tell you about the level of risk, if it was not for things like noaa who create baseline data using taxpayer dollars so we could leverage them and as a nonprofit, run a different analysis and pass it out for

noaa began tracking extreme weather events in 1980.ince then they have visited more than $1.975 trillion in damages on the country. between 1990 and 1999, the average number of billion-dollar extreme weather events was five per year. in the last five years, between 2016 and 2020, that number has jumped to 16 per year. the number of extreme weather events has tripled in the last two decades. you made climate risk one of your top priorities, what is fema actually doing now to measure our progress in efforts [indiscernible] >> congressman, that is an important graph you showed. it demonstrates how we are now in the crisis of our generation, that the climate crisis is going to continue to get worse. i think we will continue to see that number of billion-dollar disasters increase as we go further. we are investing in mitigating, reducing the impacts. the president has authorized close to $5 billion this year to help communities reduce the impacts they are seeing from climate change. we have to continue on that path forward. it takes a long

many of us have relished in this much-needed moisture, but according to noaa, the precipitation we have few days is not what we will have this coming winter. the rainy weather pattern in the bay area is a much-needed reprieve after a brutal fire season. san francisco getting more rain in the past 48 hours than we have seen in the past eight months. after a year of abnormal conditions across the nation, with record heading sweet -- record-setting heat in the pacific northwest, to street flooding in new york which shut down public transportation, changes are in store, with noaa predicting a la nina weather pattern. >> temperatures warmer across the southern tier of the u.s. and across various parts of the eastern continental u.s. as mete west coast. drew: what it does for us here in america includes the blocking area of high pressure which pushes the storm track to the north. so likely the pacific northwest will be better than average this wintere drier thanmal. dion: as the drought will improve in southern part of then california around eureka, the bay area is expected to still be in the

we add up the rain taking us through monday, this is the forecast, branch of noaa indicating the potential of 2-3 inches of rain, 2-4 inches inland and the east bay, 3-5 for san francisco and down the peninsula and 5-8 inches of rain for santa cruz and north of the golden gate. a lot of rain. we will have to watch the burn scars carefully. even if it is off and we get half as much it is still a significant rain event for october. we will take every drop of it we get and hope we don't have debris flow issues on the burn scars. it is wet. temperatures in the upper 50s and 60s. they will not change much the rest of tonight, only dropping down to the middle to upper 50s. highs tomorrow, the rain moves farther north. warming up, highs in the upper 60s. middle 60s in the north bay, lower 60s inland in the valley. the temperatures drop off in the cold front and early rain on friday. saturday, dry the first half of the day and then the atmospheric river arrives sunday, sunday night and lingering into monday. lingering showers on tuesday and then the next dry day in the forecast across the entire b

this is the very latest forecast coming from noaa during that period.een some signs of some changes storms, possibly late toward next week, maybe thursday or friday and the possibly pump to do a little subtropical moisture to the bay area that holds true. not only would that be a significant amount of rain that could bring an end or a good part of the end to the fire season not only here much of northern california. keep your fingers crossed for that. the short term, though it's going to be another hot one tomorrow. you can see those 90 sort and parts of the interior valleys 1670's along the coastline next couple days. no worry about the rain just yet. some hot weather over the weekend. clouds gathering much cooler as we head in toward next week. thanks to lourdes. well, do not lose hope just because you lost your ring. >> how a misplaced wedding band eventually found its way home. plus one of the most active volcanoes on earth is living up to its reputation tonight. we'll have a live report on the eruption. >> it's happening right now and why decent si

now we heard the word from noaa that la nina has officially developed. there's the warm pacific blob that we talk about. the warm sea surface temperatures to the north and the storm track that often gets driven farther to the north taking with it all of the rain we see during those winter months. la nina means cooler than normal water at the equatorial pacific and that can change where those weather systems go with the cool temperatures there. the storm track and the jet stream heads farther to the north. and it's not really good news for us because now we're in this exceptional drought all across the west. and when we talk about our winter outlook and the storm track is farther north the drought could persist going into the next several months. we may not get as much rain as we'd like to see. a lot of things can change. we'll continue to watch that. in the near term, changes in our temperatures and slight rain chances here, especially for sunday and then next wednesday. a big cooldown after getting a taste of summer and san francisco will see those temp

this is a branch from the noaa, no eye p they are talking about higher amounts north of the golden gate in the 4 to 8 plus range it is at the ball the way to monday, so this is several days' worth. we will have to take a look at the burn scars. temperatures right now, a few spots in the upper 60s. tonight, we will drop down only into the mid to upper 50s. not too much cooler than we are right now at high temperatures tomorrow, little warmer, but the break of the action in the afternoon, so a mix of mid to upper 60s and low 70s during the afternoon hours. we will see temperatures dropping back friday as the next round of rain moves through. there is the heaviest rain sunday and monday, lingering showers on tuesday, and the next day and willing to say looks dry is wednesday of next week. it is still seven days away, so this is an unusually wet weather pattern for the middle of october. >>> coming up, they looked just like words scribbled down, but why these handwritten pages could be worth some serious cash? that is next. >>> well, there's oakland, which managed about 15/100 of an inch of

adding up the rain through monday the the estimate from the weather prediction center, a branch of noaao 3 inches of rain even in the santa clara valley, around san jose. 2 to 4 inches of rain around the tri-valley, and other parts of the east bay. 3 to 5 inches of rain in severances go. 5 to 8 inches of rain possible in the santa cruz mountains, and similar for much of the north bay. we will have to watch for debris flow issues. you may view this with skepticism as dry as we have been recently. even if we get half of this much, that is a significant amount of rain for the middle of october. right now we see breaks in the cloud cover. it's definitely warmed us up a little bit. 62 degrees right now in santa rosa, because everywhere else it's in the mid to low 70s. it does feel sticky with the humidity still in place. it won't be the case tomorrow. once the rain moves through, drier and cooler air will take over until the next round of rain moves in. temperatures tonight dropped to the mid to upper 50s. high temperatures on friday, not warming up very much. low to mid 60s around the bay,

. >> coast guard officials received another report from noaa and the wee hours saturday, but because sheen is hard to detect in the dark. they waited until first light. then teams like california fish and wildlife. the orange county sheriff and the coast guard set out to locate the sheen about 2 hours into the search saturday morning. they began to detect oil and that is when a full-scale mobilization effort began because we received a national response center report submitted by the responsible party. this oil disaster has renewed calls by news them to ban drilling off our coast it's time once and for all. >> to disabuse ourselves that this has to be part of our future. this is part of our past. >> well, that was mary beth mcdade reporting the north bay congressman jared huffman and california sen dianne feinstein introduced a bill that would ban drilling off the coast of california. right now. fossil fuel jobs. literally outnumbered 5 to one. versus clean energy jobs in the state of california. this does not have to be part of our future. while live rescue crews are continuing to s

here's the latest noaa forecast. this is for 8 to 14 days out. so that will take us from october 8 to october 14th. and during that period. look, we've got here. we like to see this all this green here. this is above normal precipitation forecast across the bay area in northern california during that period. of course, that's still way out in the forecast but looks like things may finally begin to switch gears right around thursday or friday of next week in the meantime, yeah, we've had some hot weather and i think even a little bit harder for tomorrow. expect those temperatures up in the 90's 80's inside the bay and 6 in the 70's along the coastline. keep your fingers crossed for that rain next week, guys. >> thank you. north the south bay today's the day when all city employees were supposed to be vaccinated under an emergency ordinance that was passed in the south bay and in fact, the vast majority of those workers are now in compliance. but there are some pholdouts and right now it's not clear what if any consequences they could face force ro

there was a fact that came out of noaa that this past winter, which is our summer in the northern hemispheres the coldest ever recorded on record since we had been keeping records in 1957. also, the abrupt discontinuance of america being energy independent and having gasoline and food distribution everything else go up at a far higher inflation than in the economy overall is a regressive tax on the individuals who have to pay it. and the people who are not in the wealthy category are paying a much higher percentage of their income to necessities and it is exceeding the growth in wages. regardless of any growth in wages people's purchasing power is still falling behind. natural gas was supposed to be a bridge energy source that would reduce the carbon emissions and transition us with enough energy to remain competitive in manufacturing. i am just wondering, the mainstream media completely ignored this report from what i have seen about antarctica having a record cold winter season that was 4.8 degrees fahrenheit colder than ever recorded previously. host: john, thank you. anatol? guest: as wi

. >> the footage was obtained by a sail drone and noaa, the first of its kind. scientists were able to capture video by driving a robotic surf board into the core of hurricane sam. check out the erie dark skies and enormous waves swinging the camera around. the surf board is battling 50- foot waves and 120-mile per hour winds. that is an incredible perspective. mary, you have a little more information on that. >>> that is just amazing to see. i know the lead nasa scientist who works on drones flying into hurricanes and something he said, i think this is really cool, is you can get such a different perspective. you get a lot more data compared to when hurricane hunters fly into the storms. of course we get a lot of information from that. when you have a drone flying into a hurricane you can get data you can't collect with hurricane hunters because it's not safe flying into certain parts of the storm. we are getting more information. it's really cool it see the technology and how it is helping us to forecast storms. let's talk about our weather in the bay area as

noaa saying with high confidence it was oil.ntil 8:55 the next morning more than 12 hours later that amplify energy reported a spill saying it had shut its pipeline. officials saying that delay could have posed a risk to public health. >> i'm just disappointed. i wish that we were at least alerted, just even the basic information. i definitely want a full investigation on what happened. and i want to hold all the individuals accountable for this spill. >> reporter: officials now believe that pipeline which runs just a few miles off the coast of orange county was likely ruptured by a passing ship's anchor. >> ships are anchored and many are waiting entry and in the course of transit it is possible they would transit over a pipeline. >> reporter: a flotilla of cleanup crews scooping up oil. on the water we saw it firsthand. we're around where that oil spill happened. pretty much everywhere you look you can fish out these oil tar balls that are floating on the surface of the wall. everywhere you look you can see that sheen on the s

now, noaa is saying la nina officially develops, and so a lot of times with the la nina the storm track then we see the pacific blob that stays out there, and overall la nina means we see cooler than normal waters at the ectoral pacific. right now we are seeing the cooling of the sea surface temperatures and that does not look good for the overall rain out look for the upcoming months, because we are already in a mega drought right now. we are at the highest level at the exceptional drought right now, and with the la nina developing once again, that could keep the rain away from the bay area. we could see lower than normal amounts of rainfall over the next several months. we'll be watching that. we know that already these storm systems have been drying up, and that looks to continue as our temperatures go from the mid-80s to the mid-60s next week. we could see spotty showers in san francisco on sunday. mike, you were watching a crash now in san francisco? >> yeah, that might affect the bay bridge metering lights. i saw more backup, and there's still movement there, and movement across t

but things they begin to change the latest forecast model from noaa. this in 1814 a 8 to 14 day purse of precipitation model. >> is looking at a chance of above normal precipitation right during that period. so the following weekend and then in the following week, it looks like things could be changing. of course, that is still a long ways on the forecast. but hey, look, since sting. hopefully that all holds together right now. well, we've got a couple patch of fog trying to form along the coastline. a weak cold front slide through overnight tonight to see a few of those high clouds early tomorrow morning. kind of scooting on by and that patchy enough for the most inician you see any it will be right along the coastline. otherwise looks like these temperatures are going to warm to hot around much of the bay area. 76 downtown san francisco about 70 in daly city. 67 im sitting about 66 in half moon bay. then we warm things up in a hurry inside the bay 70's and 80's in a place like millbrae and san bruno's, a burning in looking about 8585 in san mateo. 84

the noaa says they were able to collect critical scientific data and thankfully hurricane sam is not expected to make landfall in the u.s. >>> hello, again, everyone. thank you so much for joining me. i'm fredricka whitfield. we begin with a troubling new milestone in the fight against covid. more than 700,000 people have died from coronavirus since the start of the pandemic, and tragically more than 100,000 of those deaths have come since june 15th when vaccines were widely available for people 18 and over. there is some optimism on the horizon. merck says its new anti-viral drug cuts the risk of hospitalizations and deaths by 50% for covid patients. cnn's polo sandoval joining me for more on this. >> dr. scott gottlieb, former head of the fda, calls this a potential game-changer in the fight against the coronavirus, simply because if you consider the potential benefits of this drug, dr. gottlieb is saying that it would potentially be effective not just for those who have been fully vaccinated and have experienced breakthrough cases, but also for americans who refuse to get vaccinat

it was an ideal night for sky watchers because noaa issued a geomagnetic storm.lar flare to hit the atmosphere. >> and while i don't know what all that stuff that i know somebody magnetic for age or cme haha little math. huge action, right. oh my goodness. the sun is kind of haha out over us energy in the atmosphere bars our atmosphere and then you start to get the ions excited before you know, they start to vibrate in hama. there you go. you get all those new colors out there for some not going to see that here tonight and we could have to. it's nice and clear up there around the bay area. a red flag warnings go into effect again starting on thursday. 10:00am and slow county. >> expecting some more strong, gusty winds. i think that may get extended up toward the least napa county and maybe as well as we're going to see another round of some gusty winds after this front comes by and it's going to drop on him. you see not much energy with it. few scattered light showers in far northern california. that's about it. but watch overnight tonight you see the models beg

this comes from noaa. this is the 8 to 14 day forecast for a precipitation and you can see california. we like to see that above normal forecast for precipitation possibly starting late next week through that following week. so through the 14th of october. so if this holds true, this could go a long way of looking at some models and some of the models want to paint some impressive amounts of rainfall more than an inch of rain as we head into next weekend. if that happens, that will go a long way to bringing an end to the fire season year and maybe in northern california that's still a long ways out in the forecast right now. we've got clear skies out toward the golden gate bridge coming patches of fog trying to form out there likely going to see some overnight tonight. temperatures running still very warm inland. i think that's kind of giving a clue of what kind of weather we can expect for tomorrow. those temperatures are going to be warming up again. you're looking at 70 right now in concord, 70 in pitts

of know the divers talking about her like these jelly type o u oh, my god, i'm going back again to noaaaper after paper. it's a piece of paper that does that mean for these paper and they're not look it up. kids either so whatever you do, get risas for the trick or treaters. that's all you need to looking outside this morning. we do have some low cloud cover sitting across the bay. >> but we are in for our sunniest day that we've had in a while and also one of the more mild days that we've had in a while, too. so if you missed the 70's, if you miss the sunshine saver today, tomorrow and friday. your view outside right now at our berkeley hills camera does show some of the cloud cover we're seeing overall dry conditions here on satellite radar in temperatures are mostly in the 50's san francisco at 57. oakland. you're at 56 degrees right now in alameda are most mild spot at 58 degrees. i'll be talking what to expect in the halloween weekend. still to come, first of all, though, on over to rain will go. so weather is definitely cooperating this morning. hopefully that is translating to so

according to estimates by noaa, you discussed our country invested $14.5 billion to reduce flood risk in new orleans. you used the term invested rather than obligated because investment in infrastructure is truly an investment especially one for the system that protected new orleans, which saves this country money and more importantly saves lives. do you believe the american people received a good return on that investment? if so, why? >> thank you for that question. certainly, it was a great investment. i was able to visit colonel murphy a week after the storm hit and i was expecting to stay in mobile or in baton rouge. one week after the storm hit, the amazing city of new orleans was back on its feet and it would not have been back on its feet if it was not for that investment. >> very good. >> colonel murphy. >> in your opening statement you talked about the team effort between the federal, state and local government, tribal and levee boards to address the issues caused by ida. in your opinion, how much does it help the corps when they are able to lean on their nonfederal sponsors?

the research from noaa shows this is the 7th year in a row that the u.s. has had at least 10 natural disasters. each costing a billion dollars or more. >> much more to come tonight here on kron. 4 news at 10 o'clock, including a state task force continue in its historic work and finding a way to repay black californians for past injustices. we'll show you how they're now focusing on discrimination they say is far too common in society. disturbing new details and death of gabby petito. what the autopsy revealed today and what happened to her body weeks before it was found. tensions rising behind closed doors at kaiser permanente. why 10's of thousands of workers in the golden state now threatening to walk off much more still to come nd tonight on kron 4 ne i see treesn ♪ ♪ red roses too ♪ ♪ i see them bloom for me and you ♪ (music) ♪ so i think to myself ♪ ♪ oh what a wonderful world ♪ >> a live look tonight at the white house where president biden is expected to sign a bill that would raise the federal debt ceiling into early december. the house of represe

and why we held the line on millimeter wave in spite of the pressure coming from noaa and other weather services. whether we like it or not that's the model going forward. we need to make sure we have fcc leadership willing to stand up, have chill capital, and spend it to deliver results for the private sector. infrastructure, we have to keep the wins going. one of the most important things we can do there is complete our broadband mapping process. back in march i called the fcc to complete that map by sometime this fall. very briefly in july there was a rumor that popped up at a senate commerce committee suggested the maps would be done by the end of july. i put out a statement i was very pleased to see that. then on august 1 i was very displeased to see that didn't take place. yet we saw the black box, that's are the spectrum maps going to get completed. there is no reason for it to be black box. be honest. first quarter next year, second quarter? there is so much planning that can take place once we know when those maps are going to get done. it's the key to moving to the 5g. the key
