warm after all that sunshine. it was nice to get that sunshine, though, in improvement in temperatures and an improvement in air quality. we're going to see both of those factors pushing through on this monday, which is a nice way to kick off the week. definitely a positive note as far as weather goes your view outside right now. does show some low gray that's hanging out right over berkeley. we do have some lower visibility spots in the north bay this morning. but all that you're looking at is marine layer and low gray. not really talking a lot of smoke in today's forecast, which is something we can really breathe easy about multiple ways 50's and 60's for current temperatures light jacket kind of stuff this morning. i am talking the return of some heat later this forecast as well as the return of hayes. also later on in the forecast all still to come, reyna don, thanks for that. we had an earlier accident here on the bay bridge. but on the eastbound side. >> right near the treasure island exit. so they just were able to get that clear. thankfully not see much of a
5:01 am
delay there. the westbound side all could a little under 8 minutes for you to make it to that fremont street exit want you to hit the may's 5. 1880, also moving along pretty nicely. the san mateo bridge a little under 13 minutes for you as you're traveling across towards the peninsula and the richmond sandra fell commute as you head to richmond under 9. we'll have more on your traffic updates throughout the morning. but for now, daryn, james, back to you. thanks. rates. wanted breaking news from overnight. a woman was shot in her car while she was driving on 80 in vallejo. yeah, the chp is trying to figure out if the victim was targeted. >> kron four's will tran live at the chp now with the very latest on what we know this morning will. >> at this particular point, james and area. they don't have a description of the shooter or shooters. there are about 6 hours into the investigation. fortunately the woman did not die. let me show you the video she easily could have died. >> or have lost control of her car and slammed it to somebody else. >> look at all the bullet
5:02 am
holes on her car in her car were counted. at least. >> 10 shots on the driver's side. yes, she was wounded. she was able to pull off the freeway and this was westbound 80 through ville, a hole right around redwood street. this is about several miles from my current location. the chp came out there. they talk to her. they try to get as much information from or as they could before she was taken away to the hospital with her injuries. and at last check, she is alive despite being shot at so many times. they shut down that area for a little while. collected evidence hoping to talk to other witnesses. but at this point they don't have a description of the shooter or shooters. as i mentioned or the make or model of the car that they were in. obviously they were on the freeway. they're not sure at this particular point. if this was random, if she was targeted or if this was some incident of road rage. but the bottom line is address drove through that area. it is not shut down whatsoever. they cleared it and the chp investigators now
5:03 am
they are right back at it again. investigating another case of her freeway shooting. back to you. >> all right. thank you very much. well, 5. '02, is the time right now and and less than a mile from that freeway shooting. the layup police are investigating a deadly shooting that happened last night along fairgrounds drive when the police got there, they found one man who had been shot to death no information on the victim has been released and have made any arrests at this point. the chp says the freeway shooting and the shooting of and do not appear to be connected. >> so another big story that we're following this morning. we could be just hours away now from the fda officially approving the pfizer coronavirus vaccine rather than just using it under the emergency use authorization and health officials saying that doing that is going to open it up so more people will get their shot. felicia bolton has the story. >> when the fda first issued
5:04 am
emergency authorization for pfizer's covid-19 vaccine in december. millions of americans celebrate. for them what they thought would be the beginning of the end of the pandemic. >> what's now and son. but for some, the emergency authorization was viewed as potentially reckless kaiser family foundation data from december of 2020 shows 39% of those polled said they want to wait and see before receiving the vaccine as of june. the number was down to 10%. new kff polling shows that 31% of unvaccinated they would be more likely to get a vaccine that's received full fda approval that number climbs to nearly 50% among adults who previously said they wanted to wait and see. some people even the individuals who gotten vaccinated have been scared about. >> the effects of this emergency approval for the current vaccine. so i think for a lot of people they are having a healthy sense of
5:05 am
skepticism and waiting for that approval from science. and while many may soon choose to get vaccinated. others may not be given an option according to surgeon general doctor murthy full federal approval of pfizer's covid-19 vaccine will empower businesses and universities to require vaccinations. i think you'll see more universities and workplaces that were considering putting in requirements for vaccines to create safer. >> places to learn and work. you'll see more of them likely moving forward on their plans to require vaccines in the workplace and school that change could be a welcome adjustment for parents when students too young to receive the covid-19 vaccine. phil classrooms around the country for the start of a new school year. if you're thinking what will happen to you. >> it will. you know, and better to be wise and be smart about it protect your health and take care of yourself because and take care of your family. >> felicia bolton reporting federal regulators are still reviewing moderna's
5:06 am
application for full approval and the decision could be several weeks away on that one. >> well closer to home in the south bay. there's a new mandate going into effect now for thousands of city employees goes into effect this morning at a pretty much states either have to be fully vaccinated or you have to submit to weekly covid tests workers who don't comply can be placed on unpaid leave crawford. sarah stinson is live in san jose with more. hi, sara. >> good morning. this applies to thousands of san jose employees, including fire departments. the ground that now police departments librarians anyone who works for the city of san jose. starting today has to prove prove that they've been fully vaccinated in if not say they haven't done it yet or they chose not to. they have to get tested for covid weekly. and if they choose not to do that. well, then they are going to go and or unpaid leave. so they have a lot of reason to get vaccinated and that's kind of why san jose is pushing are
5:07 am
forcing their hand trying to get cases under control. the mandate also includes employees still working from home. they still have to provide proof of vaccination by today or submit that weekly testing results. >> city officials say this is an effort to stop that. delta variant from spreading. it's been spreading rapidly, santa clara county currently averages. 242 covid cases a day last month. the county was seeing only 47 new cases a day. so that shows you how much of a spike they've seen right now at least 78% of people who live in this county are fully vaccinated says officials here, santa clara county and san francisco have already issued vaccination and testing mandates for their employees. and meanwhile, san jose unified school district also announced last week a vaccination mandate for teachers and staff. the city of san jose says if an employee chooses to go for the testing route. they can do it during, you know, work hours. they have one hour to do so they can go get that test and make sure they are following
5:08 am
the rules. but they cannot get over time for it. so if they did make time for it and it's after hours no overtime will be given to get that test done. so this starts today. and it starts for all city employees here in san jose for now we'll send it back to you in studio. >> all right. thank you very much, sara. and at 5. oh, wait another big milestone in california's battle against covid-19 state health officials have just announced that they have administered 500,000 vaccines for the 3rd straight week. that is an incredible trend 54.9% of eligible californians are now fully vaccinated as another trend know, covid deaths are going up across the country araga police officer. >> is the latest to die of covid. he was battling it for just a month. 58 year-old corporal kevin mooney died over the weekend. he joined them. the police department in 2013 after serving for 21 years with the contra costa county sheriff's office.
5:09 am

5:10 am
in school and there were enough the cages or a mayor steve young tells me he's been hearing similar calls for a mask mandate from other benicia residents. >> and since the county isn't going to implement one. he's looking to do it on the city level. however. >> covid cases are. >> rising at very fast rate in our county. hospitalizations are rising at a faster rate. and i think there is a belief on the part of the city council that we need to take action despite the action being taken by the county mayor young says back at the beginning of the pandemic, the city had to institute a mask mandate on their own as well. >> because health leaders wouldn't do it on the county level it's frustrating done. on one hand, too. >> feel like we out of step with the rest of the county. but i think the other way to look at it is perhaps the rest of the county is out of step with. >> the larger bay area. community moore says she hopes
5:11 am
to see the county put this into effect. this week. i just hope everyone thinks about how to take care of not only their own needs own desires. >> but what we can do as a community that we have to do to >> the resolution to require masking indoors in the city of benicia was just introduced to city council last week. they'll be voting on it on tuesday. the mayor tells me he believes they have the votes to pass it in benicia amanda hari kron 4 news. >> well, amid the surge in covid cases across the bay area. apple now is delaying its return to the office. apple workers won't be returning now until january apple stores, though, will remain open. facebook has already announced a similar plan where workers won't be returning to in office use until january as well. and coming up on the kron 4 morning news, another deadly hit and run in san jose will tell you what police know about the car. >> that they're looking for. and as the situation grows

5:19 am
conditions go this morning, we do have a low cloud cover. that's all you're looking at out there. really. we're starting off the morning with some pretty good air quality. you can see that green popping up in areas, especially in the north bay at times today there will be pockets of moderate later on. and that's why we do have the air quality advisory overall, though, the worst of the smoke is well out of the region, which is a really nice way to be talking about the start of your new week. obviously a lot of green here on air quality at the moment do expect a couple of pockets of yellow, especially in the north bay later on. but all in all, not the worst of air quality days. mostly like yesterday was now winds from the coastline will continue to push in and really only intensified towards the afternoon. this is going to spare us the hottest of daytime highs. so not just a better air quality day but also really comfortable one as far as temperatures go, 60's at the coast 70's for most of our besides cities and then look at our inland highs only in the 80's even areas like antioch. typically are hot spot only at 85 degrees today. so a very nice break from the
5:20 am
heat. and it's not just today either, but it continues into tomorrow and wednesday by thursday we see a really quick change of pace highs rising well into the upper 90's. even a few low triple digits expected by the end of the week and some hazy conditions also likely to return towards the end of this forecast. so especially enjoy the next 3 days. get out there. the cooler temperatures, the better air quality all adds up to a really nice way to start the week. rain. thank you for that, john. we do have an along highway 4 eastbound here, willow. pass road. >> thankfully not see much of a delay as you're traveling and that bay point area heading into the city this morning. a little under 9 minutes for your drive time. 5, 1880, moving along nicely as you're heading across towards the peninsula. you can make that drive under 13 minutes. so things are looking great. and in the south bay we go check in on one about 27 minutes towards menlo park. 2.88 in 5 in a 2 also looking nice. we'll have more on that coming up. and oregon. james, back to you. thanks a lot of

i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love, more adventure, more community. but with my hiv treatment, there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor and switched to fewer medicines with dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with just 2 medicines in 1 pill, dovato is as effective as a 3-drug regimen... to help you reach and stay undetectable.
5:57 am
research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it.
