23 in fairfield. so it's all around us right to the delta. and that will be the case. it's going to usher in some much cooler air that is going to be pushing further on shore. you can see the fog and low clouds moving in along the right now into parts of pacific all the way down over an on a half moon bay for the south of the pescadero and well, eventually that's going to expand overnight tonight and tomorrow. we're going to see more of that cloud cover on the way. in fact, there's a cold front off the coastline that's going usher in some much cooler temperatures starting tomorrow. maybe a chance. some sprinkles as we get in toward latter part of this week. temperature wise out the door right now we've got cool. 50's coast sides are still hold on. some 70's and some warm 80's in places like concord. in livermore, 76 in the napa valley. 79 still warm in santa rosa. thank you, lawrence. covid-19 shots for american infants. toddlers and preschoolers moved a step closer today. an fda panel voted in favor of authorizing the moderna and pfizer vaccines. >> for children as young as 6 months. today's vote likely

symptomatic covid infections vaccine. experts say the shots have not been tested against each other. so they claim there's no way to tell if one is actually better than the other. despite those percentages side effects, including fever and fatigue were generally minor with both and less common than in adults. according to the fda, while only about 3% of us covid cases are in the age group, 6 months to 4 years, hospitalizations and death rates in that group are higher. then in older children. >> we have to be careful that we don't become known to the number of pediatric deaths because of the overwhelming number of older down every is important and up a vaccine. preventable deaths are ones that we would like to try to do something about. >> so the fda advisory panel weighed in today. then we'll hear from the actual fda and

the cdc. we'll provide a formal recommendation after its advisors meet on saturday. the shots could be available for kids say, say starting next tuesday. pam and ken, back to you. >> grant, thank you. coming up, a day of mourning for law enforcement in southern california. as we learn more about to fall in el monte police officer and historic hike to interest rates the federal reserve's decision to take action. could fight sky-high inflation. and it has been 100 days as governor newsom promise relief to californians dealing with skyrocketing gasoline prices. when will gas prices go down? we will break down the new effort. you want it all, just like i do...

>> another big story today, the federal reserve announced it carried out the largest interest rate hike in almost 30 years. short-term interest rates for raised by 3 quarters of a pointyou know, it was expected and wall street actually was up big on the news as investors hope that this move will finally tame out of control inflation, raising the interest rates is the key tool to slow growth and consumer spending in order to try and bring down prices. but the chair of the federal reserve said today that it will take some time to bring inflation back down. again. we're looking ultimately. we're not going to declare victory until we see. >> a series of these, you

know, really see convincing evidence, compelling evidence that inflation is coming down. and that's what i mean by. that's what it would take for us to say, ok, we think we think this is this job is done because we saw in frankly, we saw last year inflation came down over the course of the summer and then turn right around and went back up. so i think we're going to be careful about declaring victory. >> president biden won several u.s. oil refiners to produce more gasoline and diesel. he told the 7 refiners their profits have tripled during the war in ukraine. while americans are struggling with record high gasoline prices, he called on them to work with his administration to address the crisis. meantime, the biden administration is considering a federal gas tax holiday. the tax is about $0.18 for a dollar of regular and about $0.24 for diesel. a suspension would require congressional approval. >> it's been more than 3

months since governor newsom and democratic leaders promised to send relief to californians in response to the rising gas prices and inflation, the governor and legislative leaders are still at odds on the best way to send direct payments while republicans continue their push for a gas tax suspension. kron four's ashley zavala explains how soon a deal could be reached. >> another day and still no deal on those relief efforts here at the state capitol. all sides of this issue have said they wanted to get something done quickly. but republicans continue to criticize the slow negotiations between democrats. meanwhile, governor newsom's administration says it's aiming to have this settled by the end of the month. >> 100 days is far too long. 100 cones set up at the state capital to mark the number of days since governor newsom promised to send relief to californians in response to rising gas prices. republicans used the props to continue their push to suspend the state's gas tax, which will be $0.54 per gallon. starting july first, gas prices reached

a statewide record this week at $6 and $0.43 per gallon. families are being forced to make tough financial decisions as the state's coffers are overflowing with cash. but the idea continues to be a nonstarter for democrats and the governor who have said suspending the gas tax would not guarantee gas companies would pass those savings on to customers. governor newsom and democratic legislative leaders met tuesday to continue negotiating relief efforts and other budget related business. the leaders continue to clash over their separate proposals. the governor wants to send $400 debit cards to california car owners. well, legislative leaders want to send $200 payments to taxpayers making less than $125,000 per year and hopefully will be able to reach a resolution on those 2 versions within the next. >> coming days or prior to the new fiscal year beginning on july, the first discussions were very they'll continue. but the governor made it very clear that is continuing goal is as much relief as possible as many as possible as fast as

possible. newsom's plan would spend about 11.5 billion dollars to help about 28 million people versus the legislature's 8 billion dollar plan for about 16.5 million people. but democrats in the legislature have said their plan is the fair approach and have concerns about using a third-party vendor to send out debit cards. we i think we agree that we definitely want to be able to. >> the money out as fast as possible, but also want to do it in a way that's safe. >> and reliable. it's still to be determined when exactly californians could see those direct payments. but at this point, officials say the earliest is likely september in sacramento. ashley zavala kron, 4 news. >> let's check on our warm weather and get the 4 zone forecast live look outside over san francisco skyline tonight at lawrence karnow standing by with the details. yeah. a couple of spot fires yesterday again today. another fire in el sobrante. so yeah, that's what we get. we get the sea breeze blowing at this time of year for the things dry out there already. and so the concern now, fire dangers elevated right now. we are

seeing some relief in sight, though. you can see that sea breeze kicking in. but the fog begin to show up along the coastline. that means humidity is going start to rise here in the next couple of days. we'll see more fog and low clouds, but here's latest. a fire weather forecast model. you can see many areas in the north of the east bay with some elevated fire conditions, in fact, even some place in extreme just to the southeast of livermore. but as we take you through the night tonight, those winds begin to calm down and the fire danger begins to go away throughout the night tonight. but then the sea breeze begins to blow by tomorrow afternoon. here you go again. you see another round of some of the fire danger running a little bit higher as we head toward the afternoon. so really something we've got to watch out for of the spot fire conditions. we're going to see the breezy conditions continuing as we've got a cold front out there right now. in fact, pretty vigorous one for this time of year, bringing some rain up in the pacific northwest. eventually this begins to drop down a little bit closer. the bay area, i think as we head in toward tomorrow, that's going to drop the temperatures you head outside this evening, a little breezy in spots saying mostly clear through 9 o'clock tonight. just a couple high clouds up above the

couple patches fog out at the coast. thank you. arts. in southern california just a few hours ago, authorities released the names of the 2 omani police officers who were killed in a gun battle late yesterday afternoon and killed in the line of duty. were corporal michael put it an officer, joseph santana, nancy loo has more on what happened. >> the fallen officers have been identified as corporal michael days. and officer joseph santana both had strong ties to the community of el monte and believe me, they were loved. >> these 2 men were love. they were good men, law enforcement from near and far gathered for the solemn procession to honor the fallen. >> preeti's a 22 year veteran of the department officer santana on the force for less than a year. they do it. >> hundreds of thousands of men and women do every day across the united states. get up with the. an oath to protect people and to serve

them. and these 2. paid the ultimate sacrifice. today. they were murdered by a coward. the suspect was killed in a shoot out while the officers were responding to a call for help a possible stabbing at a motel. >> police say they were met with gunfire at the room. the suspect fled leading to more gunfire in the parking lot. officials say they found a weapon near the suspect's body and investigators have been questioning a woman who was in the motel room but not heard the loss of 2 officers has this small community in mourning. they were acting as a first line of defense for community members when they were essentially ambushed while trying to keep the family safe. >> these 2 officers were like family in our community with deep ties to our neighborhoods. >> please keep these officers families in your prayers. >> again, that was nancy loo reporting for us tonight. the michigan police officer who shot and killed a motorist has

now been fired. christa pulse car faces second-degree murder charges in the death of patrick lyoya. >> the grand rapids police chief recommended the firing dashcam and cell phone video captured the traffic stop which turned deadly last april. the shooting happened as the 2 struggled over the officer's taser ultimately ending up on the ground. sheriff says that he acted in self-defense. >> coming up, the new danger on the road. there been almost 400 crashes involving semi autonomous vehicles in less than a year. we're going to dig into what the numbers mean about the world, real-world effectiveness of this technology.
