have been infected about coronavirus in the past two years. since the pandemic began more than 1 million of the cases were actually logged just this month. in addition to the positive news we have been following new samples from bay area waste water treatment plants showing there are fewer indications of the virus in that. we will continue to follow it all for you. back to you. >> thank you. a lot of parents are watching and waiting to see when kids under age 5 could be eligible for a covid vaccine. now the white house chief medical adviser dr. anthony fauci says he hopes it will happen within the next month. joycelyn moran is live in the newsroom for us with what bay area experts say this can mean for the overall covid fight. a lot of parents are concerned here. >> reporter: that's right, amanda. hopefully this can be some good news. we did speak with ucf specialist, of course there is protection this can offer kids but there are indications for

or new variants and would help limit disruptions in schools. >> the fact that your child is able to get vaccinated will go a long way in getting to the sense of normalcy including keeping preschools open. >> dr. fauci says the hope is that this happens within the next month. in december, pfizer said if the three dose study was successful they expected to submit data to fda in the first half of 2022. we'll keep you updated. >> joycelyn, thanks. happening today, governor newsom will visit the site of the big rail theft in los angeles. crews have been cleaning the section of union pacific train tracks where thieves raided cargo containers and left shredded boxes and packages. this afternoon the governor will highlight multi agency effort to fight thefts and clean the railway. today marks one year since president biden and vice president kamala harris took office.

with a lot more blue sky but there is a stubborn patch of stratus in the bay. we have a great overview it this morning. this is our camera on black mountain in the hills above palo alto. you can see stanford right there. beyond that, there is a good batch of marine stratus still socked in for much of the bay. we don't have a fog advisory. most of this is just surviving over the water. we can look in a different way. we'll switch to the high resolution satellite. as we come for a closer look, it's the south bay over the water. you see how much it is filling in the bay. the camera we were looking at was in the hills from over there and looking over stanford to the extent of the clouds. give this another hour before it is gone. visibility readings are fine. none of these are reporting anything even close to a mile or below which is usually the threshold. we leave that behind. there is a possibility we can see more tomorrow. daytime highs today, i will show you why we may not get as

much fog in a second. daytime highs, mid 60s with more blue sky than anything else for the south bay, low 60s for communities of the east bay, temperatures in heart of the bay coming into the low 60s, few upper 50s fending how close you are to that stubborn deck of clouds hanging over head and numbers show a nice warming trend as we get further north. here is why we will probably have some fog but it won't be as widespread. you will see a tell tale sign much offshore winds. northerly winds down the sacramento valley. streamlines are showing it is offshore. by tomorrow morning we get enough of an influence from that, you don't notice it is windy but it is enough offshore flow and down slope wind off the hills that it should clear out more of the fog. maybe not all of it tomorrow but it shouldn't be as foggy. then on friday in the afternoon, it does start to get noticeably breezy. it will be windy in the

mountains. this would be fire weather concern if we were in fire season but landscape can handle offshore winds like this now because there is plenty moisture. maybe 20 a 25-mile an hour gusts friday afternoon and evening down where we live. this has been an evolving situation in the forecast. it doesn't look like a major wind event but should help with the fog certainly for the weekend. it might start too late to help out friday morning. other than that, a bit of a breeze. allergy sufferers will feel it more. it will blow the pollen around more. that's really it. there is nothing else that shows up in the seven-day forecast, just sunny skies. temperatures don't even budge a lot. we've done the warm up for the most part. now we just sit here for the next seven days. no chance of rain, not through the end of the seven-day forecast and at this point now we are already looking into early february, amanda, to see if we can spot the next chance of rain in the distance.
