up to tahoe one of those things this year you don't get see this but we will be getting some new snow in tahoe next year which is only a few next people i love going your co-workers it's right around the corner, as it's like 3 days away from now and thank goodness hopefully, 2021 is a smoother sale i have singers cross we're keeping the faith just enough a wash us lee optimistic, that's right still getting those masks and though course that's a given for 2021 still we are looking at at least getting ourselves back on track as far as rain and snow goes. we were definitely starting this fall winter season with some lower levels of snow and rain here in the bay we've been recently seeing an uptick in that and it looks like next year is going to be bringing some stronger chances of rainfall to us which is good news. clear skies from our sutro tower cam as you can see here skies really quiet on

radar. it's not just free of fog, but alsosa little bit of that haze look at this green you're good to go with air quality is good almost entirely across the bay little pocket, a moderate around the right now but the sides that if you do have respiratory conditions today is your day because there is some crystal clear out there you think yesterday morning for that when we got that rain helping to clean some of that air quality up. >>today skies will remain nice and clear free of any sort of cloud cover and into tomorrow you may see a few clouds passing overhead so not quite as crystal clear today but staying dry for your wednesday at least during daytime hours tomorrow night, a push of rainfall mostly after sunset and into your early morning hours of thursday, a brief head of rain kind of like what we saw on sunday night leading into yesterday morning. it will be just a few showers here and there clearing out pretty quickly for us in tier. new year's eve new year's eve itself will be nice and dry as we transition into the new year and new year's day starts try before some evening showers on friday night as far

as temperatures go today, it will be a little bit warmer than yesterday. you can think all that sunshine we're getting for that. daytime highs yesterday you remember we're only in the mid to upper 50's today, we're talking some 60's returning whether you're out along the coastline right along the bay or further inland. it's all a share of upper 50's to low 60's that were going to be looking at later on redwood city and san carlos each right at 60 degrees temperatures in the south bay in the upper 50's to low 60's. same for you in the east bay freemont at 59 dublin, right there too hayward through san leandro berkeley and richmond all in the low 60's temperatures in the north bay also upper 50's to low 60's. fairfield at 62 while 3 of our warmest spots youngsville santa rosa in petaluma all up to 63. this is your look ahead at the next 7 days after today, we're talking 50's again for most of our daytime highs. again our chances of rainfall will be tomorrow night during overnight hours kind of like what we saw couple days ago.

thursday and friday as we transition into 2021 dry skies until friday night. another just slight chance of showers that time around robin. >>all right, thank you for the update john let's update that morning drive into san francisco which is looking good. we're taking a live look at the bay bridge approach, no delays at the pay gates clear through the maze 5 8024 the nimitz and then when you make it into downtown san francisco. it's just wide open on the skyway the central the james look into ad will check more traffic coming up a little bit later but speaking of bridges star, yeah, the bay bridge there will never be a delay to take tolls again the toll takers are never coming back little sad about this. let's check and kron four's will tran who is live at the bay bridge toll plaza with more on what we can expect well. >>we can expect more of the same the toll takers they're gone duryea actually they left this location back in march because of the pandemic the state just didn't want the interaction between the driver and the toll takers so they

told people keep moving along we'll take a picture of your driver's license, your plate, the plate in your car and then send you an invoice in the mail and apparently has worked so well that they will continue doing the ad so you will never see another human being at the toll plaza as far as the boots. again reason being they like what's going on many people already have fast track. so if you have fast track your life's not going to change already have an account though just take money out of it and if you need to be replenished then they'll just do it from your credit card. >>if you don't have it well they'll send you that in boys and you just pay the exact amount $6 or $5 whatever time you cross say the bay bridge or the dumbarton bridge. not the golden gate bridge does because the state does not own the golden gate bridge. but they've already been doing. electronic taking anyways for years now so that's not going to impact the golden gate bridge but you will be impacted if you are hardheaded and you refused to pay. we're

told because the state wants every dollars so after 30 days and you don't pay it as far as the invoice it's $25 for every violation after 60 days at $75 and if you don't do it after that it comes time to renew your car your registration it could be suspended. this we said area because i love coming through here from time to time in the past and talking to the toll workers, some of them a crime for viewers and they say hi or what not and will never see that again and i can tell you doing this story before in the past even at the golden gate bridge, they hated the idea because it meant a loss of jobs. and that is true, but you know what as far as you say hi to the toll taker the guy behind you is happy that it's over like the moment >>say new york the case well. a to the time right now in the east bay people who are

homeless have a new place to live in oakland funds for the state's project homekey have helped to turn a former college dorm into permanent housing for families and seniors kron four's dan thorn has more. >>to help protect people struggling with homelessness throughout the covid-19 pandemic clifton hall in rockridge is now affordable housing for unhoused seniors and families the effort was made possible through funding from project homekey a program designed to help unsheltered people who are at risk of serious illnesses such as covid-19 this is one example of of one very important example. solution oakland city council member dan called says there are still lots of work to be done in helping the unhoused in his city and his district but taking over clifton hall is a good start we all know we have a challenge throughout our city with many homeless encampments. >>and finding more plate more roofs over people for people's heads over people's heads for families and such. is our

overall long-term now and beyond most of the residents at clifton hall will be seniors with permanent housing for families this space will be more transitional allowing for some stability to move forward there was some skepticism as to whether this would come to fruition before the new year, but the more than 100 people began moving in on monday. >>alameda county has last reported icu bed availability just over 32% the clifton hall affordable housing may help in keeping that number from getting any lower as the most vulnerable are taken off of the streets in really is truly at 5 this morning and he appeared in the other takes a village reporting
