washington later this morning as the next administration plans to be sworn in january 20th their mind will be the next president united states and i will be next vice president united states. >>the vice president presides over the joint session and declares the winner. and despite president trump's wishes. vice president mike pence has no power to change the outcome live in washington. i'm jessi eaton or all right, thank you very much jessie. >>and as we're waiting certify the election results violence is already breaking out in washington dc. this is video from last night with supporters of president trump clashing with police in protests and black lives matter plaza. and police ended up deploying tear gas more demonstrations are expected today and the other big breaking news this morning democrats on the brink now of taking control of congress is one of georgia's 2 senate runoff seat has already been called. >>democrat raphael warnock will become the first black senator in georgia's history. he spent the past 15 years as a pastor in atlanta and his

victory now puts the senate majority within reach for democrats were not defeated republican incumbent kelly loeffler by nearly 50,000 votes and with 99% of precincts, reporting the race has already been called in warnock's favor. >>we were told that we couldn't win this election. but tonight. we proved that with hope. and the people by our side. >>anything. it is possible. >>warnock again will become the first democrat to win a senate seat in georgia in nearly 2 decades and now of course the focus will shift to the second senate runoff race in georgia where the votes are being counted as we speak that involves republican incumbent david perdue and democrat jon ossoff as of this morning. democrat jon ossoff has a razor thin lead ahead by about 16,000 votes with the vast majority of the votes that still have to be counted. presumably leaning democratic

so if ossoff can secure a victory this morning. democrats will have control of congress and that would strengthen president elect joe biden standing as he prepares to take office in 2 weeks and we of course will continue to monitor the race there in georgia as the votes continue to be counted. and of course the developments on capitol hill as congress is expected to begin the certification process this morning for president elect joe biden so make sure you follow kron 4. a morning news all morning long we're going to be tracking the latest developments and then download the kron on app too for the latest. after a broadcast ends this morning lots to follow. >>5 '03 is the time right now we're also taking a look at the weather which i guess is going to change yet again john have plenty of changes today guys, plenty of variety today to as the north bay is in for some brief afternoon showers and much of the rest of the bay area's actually going to be staying dry today now this morning not talking as much fog as we did yesterday sure there's some low cloud cover obscuring your san francisco skyline right there but

bad of a surge will see the biggest problem area in our state of course is los angeles where cases continue to surge out of control and icu bed capacity remains at 0%. but the biggest goal for hospitals at like ucsf is to vaccinate everyone all their health care workers. those who want to get the vaccination it's been slower of a roll out across our country than expected. but they say here at ucsf they're doing okay, they said that they have about 5.59% of the first group. >>that's an aide with the first shot in the arm and they have the second shot in the arm planned, but nobody has the second shot in the arm quite yet so that will definitely help but stay tuned, we'll keep an eye on these numbers new year's eve new year's surge will happen in doubt what a week week and a half from now daryn james is going to be interesting to see. another surge was have to brace ourselves 2021 home, scary absolutely, thanks very much. sara scary is what it is 5 '07 in the east bay there nearly 90 active covid cases.

with your morning drive. that's going to be all right as far as weather is concerned at least now skies are going to be noticeably cloudier today but that's not going to slow you down either just going make for less, nice blue afternoon like we had yesterday you can see to our north there's a line of showers and in there some heavier rainfall sitting just off shore the north coast. this line of showers does dip its direction or direction. later on today. but really fizzles out right as it reaches the bay area so watch what happens here in future cast is actually pretty interesting because you've got widespread and at times heavy rainfall from mendocino and humboldt counties to our north reaching northern sonoma county with a well-formed line of showers pushing further south into the afternoon and just breaking apart as it crosses the golden gate. so parts of the north bay will be getting a healthy dose of rainfall while the peninsula, the south bay and much of the east bay could be checking in with just some cloudier conditions and really no noticeable precipitation. novato you can see up to a quarter of an inch of rain

today napa and santa rosa closer to a 10th of an inch of rain while san francisco in concord right on the cusp of it may just see a sprinkle or 2 everywhere else in the bay area looking to remain dry. well through the day today so very different story from the south bay to the north as for your forecast this afternoon as for temperatures. there's also going to be a difference. the coast in the north they will be some of our cooler areas only in the 50's well, generally the southern end of the peninsula, the south bay and the southern part of the east bay will all be a bit warmer back into the low 60's, san jose at 62 degrees today well fremont hayward on over into the tri valley all low 60's. a little further north in the east bay and you start to see some 50's now oakland berkeley and richmond in the upper 50's and then mid 50's for the north bay itself. yeah, bill napa and sonoma at 55 or 56 degrees we'll even cooler yet in santa rosa at only 50 for today so for the north bay, we got some showers this afternoon for the rest of us just a cloudier day. tomorrow we are partly cloudy

but dry friday morning, some light showers to be expected. then we dry out after that into the weekend and into early next week. reyna thank you for that john so good news bridges, look great bad news. we have a hot spot. this is in seminole. >>84 in little valley role one way traffic control is now in effect and if you want to avoid that altogether you can go ahead and take 5.80 to 6.80. you're going to be they're going to be a sees people be working on that incident for a little while also looking at the bay bridge may's to fremont street can see traffic moving into the city less than 9 minutes there and then san mateo bridge people heading to the peninsula. look at that less than 15 minutes, so it's green across all the bridges and quickly let's look at the richmond sandra fell bridge tolls to one o one less than 8 minutes going to continue tracking your commute but now back to the news. >>thanks reyna 5.15 in san francisco, the suspect in a deadly hit and run crash on new year's eve has pleaded not guilty. 45 year-old troy mcallister made his first court appearance yesterday afternoon. he's accused of driving a stolen car from daly

coronavirus. and then over the weekend a jump to 44 and now at least 5 dozen of its employees coming down with it they have been told to stay home to shelter in place while they recover as far as the patients 70 patients at least or in the emergency room on christmas day. they have a lot to worry about and the hospital also is very worried about so i want to draw your attention to the screen. this is what the hospital is saying to the patients as well as the community they are saying our contacted all 70 patients who were treated and discharged from the emergency department and december 25th and are answering any questions patients may have covid-19 tests are made available to these patients jean's story as far as these patients are concerned so far we have not heard of any one of them coming down with covid-19. they are stepping up their efforts to test their employees the place is still
