got so far in the bay. no fog. it's just the clouds sitting above us that unfortunately for comment watchers has kind of gotten in the way. nothing getting in your way. if your commute, though, morgan hill, redwood city, san mateo, oakland and berkeley, all in the 30's right now. fremont, you're 35 dublin down to 32 degrees in santa rosa down to 30, along with fairfield at 30 degrees. so some of us are below freezing, but we're not quite as cold as we were yesterday. and no frost advisories on the map this morning. if you look at radar, you can definitely see that cloud cover pushing in. so that's what's kind of getting in the way you're better chances for seeing the stars further inland in the east bay solano, eastern contra costa and eastern alameda counties. definitely on the clear side, reyna, thank you for that. ok on this thursday, you're off to a good start. conditions traveling into the city still pretty light. 7 minutes mace to that fremont street exit. if you're taking the bay bridge, our san mateo bridge lot to one about 12 minutes traveling across towards the peninsula about the richmond,

they were hot instantly under the collar. yes, we are seeing freezing temperatures. so they are reminding people not just here, of course, in alameda, but all over the bay area. do not do that. yes, it is uncomfortable inside your car when it's cold. but, you know, it's worse trying to track down your car and all the problems that follow with that. so what they're doing is they're giving away free steering and paddle locks. if you go to the police department here in alameda and just go inside, ask for one and they will give you one if you can't do that. well, take a look at your screen. these are some tips that they want to pass along to you summer, like your mother reminding you of the obvious like lock your cars. don't put anything valuable inside if you have, you can't put it inside your house, at least hide inside your car. give yourself extra time to warm up your car in the morning while yes, sit inside. so lots of tips going

on, not just here, but all of the bay area. you know, i've been telling people for years because they do see a spike in car thefts when it gets cold and don't be a victim, just suffer in silence in your car with your coffee or if you're james fletcher, you have your butler. start your car back >> all right. thanks very for your tesla butler. all right. time now is 504. let's get to the breaking news because it was a big fire that tore strip mall in palo firefighters say 4 of businesses and all were damaged by the flames of kron four's michael thomas live with the story in palo alto. good morning, michael. >> hi, good morning, everyone. really a sad scene here today. we're at the corner of middlefield road and loma verde let still here live for a second. you know, officials say that they believe that started with the dry cleaning service. but take a look. lots of broken glass busted out windows. you can see some fire damage behind that. but, you

know, this also took place at 11 o'clock last night, will eventually get into some video of that scene. that's when fire officials arrived to flames coming from inside ages. quick clean, which is a dry cleaning service that's located between bills cafe with a b and on the opposite side is fills coffee with ap. now the fire eventually spread bursting through the roof of both ages, dry cleaning and the business next door, which is bills cafe again with a b calling multiple units to the scene and shutting down middlefield road completely. now all 4 businesses officials say did suffer damage. but the liquor store located at the end and feels coffee shop again with ap located at the opposite and suffered the least. now there were no injuries reported as to what caused it that's still under investigation. but back out here live again, this is bills cafe from the firefighter that i spoke with here. apparently this is a very breakfast spot here in this area. so they did seem to suffer a lot. and again, it has not been confirmed, but they do believe

that the fire started at the dry cleaning service, which is left of bill. so i know that there's a little bit of confusion because there's fills with the p, but it's fills the dry cleaning service, then bills, cafe and then the liquor store. so the 2 in the middle suffered the most. but as we get more information, we'll continue to keep you guys updated. but for now, let's send it back to you guys live in the studio. michael, thank you. >> time now is 506. and parents and teachers in the east. they're up in arms as school district is looking to eliminate 6th through 8th grades at bay farm school officials from alameda unified hosted a town hall to try to calm of the fears of some parents covers amanda hari. was there. >> the scene outside of bay farm school was calm wednesday afternoon. while on zoom, many parents fought to keep the middle school open. parents are upset that they're just finding out about the potential closure as a parent volunteer poured so much of my time. my heart and my soul into the school for the past

10 years. >> especially with the middle school. and i'm feeling misled, as i put in so much into in roman efforts this year without knowing my school's closure was even a possibility. the alameda unified school district board is considering the closure because they say enrollment has been dropping for years and that has caused an equal class sizes. bay farms grades 6 through 8 capacity is 192. >> lincoln middle school is 900 it. however, the small class sizes. why key a key know says her daughter needs a school like bay farm. they ask you to believe me when i say my kid. >> needs a small nurturing middle school pandemic trauma is real and her therapist and other people that know our situation have advised the same match on that. it's off is a floating sub with the after school program at bay she says she didn't see the closures coming. >> i was very particularly

this low pressure area moving its way on in and allowing the storm door to chipley open as we make our way over the next couple of days tonight into early tomorrow morning, seeing a brief line of showers pushing through should hold off until after midnight tonight. we will see a pocket of heavy rainfall here. there really mostly between 03:00am to 05:00am, tomorrow morning having its biggest impact on early morning commuters for your friday starting to taper off towards the later into the morning commute. and then the rest of your day friday actually looking increasingly clear and really nice for stepping outside. now, the timing of watching out most closely for saturday evenings, rainfall because we do have the lunar new year parade in san francisco right now. timing has shifted a little further back after 05:00pm hoping it pushes back even further so that we can have a dry parade on saturday. as for a future cast of rainfall totals over the entire weekend could see an inch of rainfall for some spots across the bay area. that includes both friday morning and then again, saturday night into sunday

morning. today's daytime highs will be in the upper 50's to even some mid 60's out there. so it is going to be our warmest day of the week thus far, even with the cloud cover that we're seeing redwood city at 64 today, some of our warmer spots in the south bay like san jose at 66 fremont, you'll be at 65 today. tri valley in the low 60's oakland and berkeley at 61. little cooler for the north bay fairfield, vacaville and pittsburgh. among our spots at 56 degrees for your daytime highs. getting your lookahead tomorrow. similar temps to today. a little bit more in the 50's after a wet start. skies will clear nicely, though, friday afternoon saturday, a reverse of that, a dry start and then rainfall pushing in later on in the day and lingering into sunday morning, right, john, thank you for that. well, you're off to a really good start this morning. conditions still pretty light across 101. 27 minutes. 85 in the park this morning. well, 2, 80 82 and even 17 put you at the limit

>> also on the national front, we have that meeting between president biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy. they met to try and find a deal on the debt ceiling. didn't produce one in that meeting. mccarthy said they have different perspectives but he thinks there is an opportunity for them to come to an agreement. our dc correspondent basil john, is live with the latest. good morning, basil. >> well, darya james, good morning. the clock is ticking on these talks as the u.s. may have to default on the national debt by this summer unless they can come to a compromise. >> we want to make sure we do this in a responsible, reasonable way. house speaker kevin mccarthy said he had good talks with president joe biden on the debt ceiling but no deal was reached. we promised we would continue the conversation. we'll see if we can get that. i think at the end of the day we can find common ground. house republicans have promised to not raise the debt ceiling unless some budget cuts are made. the current path we're on. we cannot sustain. but the

white house says the president won't negotiate over the debt limit. we're talking about programs that they want to take hostage. they should be able to do this without conditions. senate majority leader chuck schumer is critical of republicans for not sharing more details on what they want. we incurred these debts already. we should just pay them. >> republicans say no. well, what's the alternative? we haven't seen the treasury department warns if congress doesn't raise or suspend the debt limit by june, it could wreak havoc on the economy. there's only one way forward here and that is for congress to raise the debt ceiling. now, mccarthy and the president will continue these discussions as the speaker wants to reach an agreement long before the deadline. >> reporting live in washington. i'm basil, john. okay. we'll see what happens. and thank you, basil. it is 5.21. we'll take a break. coming up next on the kron. 4 morning news mass covid-19 vaccine and testing sites are going to be closed. >> in santa clara county soon, we'll tell you what prompted

the wide availability of vaccines now pharmacies and also home testing is one reason that they're going to be for 2 reasons going to be scaling back. they encourage residents to continue, though, to protect themselves, at least 90% of santa clara county's population has gotten at least one vaccine by now. health officials are leaving open the possibility that they covid gets worse. >> as the situation around us changes and when there's more risk to the public. so too, does our response. i think everyone is seeing that the county of santa clara will do what it takes to keep the public safe. >> the county provided 1.9 million vaccinations, but officials still want people to know the pandemic is not over. >> well, a new study finds a covid-19 has become the 8th most common cause of death among children in the united states. researchers at the american academy of pediatrics say that covid-19 deaths displaced influenza and

pneumonia becoming the top cause of death house by any infectious for respiratory disease. according to cdc data, less than 10% of eligible children have gotten their updated booster shot and more than 90% of children under 5 are completely unvaccinated. researchers say there is uncertainty about exactly how much risk the virus will continue to pose, but the potential benefits of vaccination clearly outweigh any potential risks. so again, parents or encourage once again to get their kids vaccinated. it's 5.26. we'll take a break. but coming up next on the kron, 4 morning news re'tal prices are dropping in san francisco. economists explain why and how long it could last.

having that would that would probably put it well ahead of what we need for snow pack for the year. what we need for rainfall for the year. it would be great. so we're rooting for groundhog's predictions this year for sure. if we can get that 6 more weeks of winter, we'll take it. absolutely. we've been doing so great. january brought us everything that we needed. and we're looking at a little bit more of that as we move into the first weekend of february. some light rain here in the bay area and some snowfall in the sierra expected these next few days. today, though, a dry one. we are looking at a few clouds passing overhead. nice. unclear, though, at the golden gate. >> we are cold this morning but not quite as cold as we have been. no frost advisories. fremont. you're at 35 right now. livermore. 33 wall dublin, santa rosa in fairfield, fewer spots that are below freezing currently in the low 30's to upper 20's. now skies may be dry, but we do have all that cloud cover. as you can see, passing across the region. know a lot of people have been trying to spot the comet ago over the bay area, but just enough clouds to be blocking out the view of that. now we are going

is and, you know, our families are suffering because of it. and i loved ones are losing their lives in children, in their fathers, their mothers, people losing their sons. you know, it's just. it has to stop theresa kron. 4 news. >> well, amid a wave of deadly mass shootings across the state last month. governor gavin newsom and several democratic lawmakers are calling for more gun legislation yesterday. the governor did exactly that urging support for bill that would make changes to the state's concealed carry laws. he argues legislation known as state or senate bill 2 can make a difference in bringing down gun violence statewide. he stresses the legislation will ensure guns don't end up in the wrong hands. although opponents argue it's the wrong approach. we do need more gun control. we more crime control. and i said what's lacking in california is sufficient enforcement and deterrence. >> for people to not dangerous weapons like guns and they have a proposal doesn't address that at all. it

see any rainfall until well after midnight tonight. so thursday going to be a dry one, albeit a little cloudier than we've seen looking at the golden gate bridge skies are clear at least looking at the horizon. once you look up, that's where you're seeing the clouds. so no fog, just some mostly cloudy to partly cloudy skies today we're seeing the high pressure ridge moving to the east and our next system going to be swinging through as we move into the evening tonight. this is going to make a wet morning for commuters tomorrow. getting a look at the timing of all cloud cover today. tomorrow morning before most of us even get up in the morning is when the heaviest of rain will get here. it will be brief, but we will see some spotty showers, especially at the beginning of your morning commute. showers move out pretty quickly. and by the time we reach noontime, we're done with it. in fact, seeing a lot of sunshine friday afternoon. saturday is just the opposite. we start dry, but rainfall pushes in later in the day and looking at hopefully that rain pushing in well after the sun goes down. now, rainfall totals this

weekend could see over an inch for many spots. this is nice to see nothing too terribly heavy. it's just going to be getting the ground wet again. and for the sierra getting some more needed snow there now, temps today in a range of upper 50's to even mid 60's. despite the cloud cover, it's actually our warmest day of the week. so far mountain view 65 today. san jose at 66 degrees for your daytime high. a couple of days ago, pleasanton and livermore. you're only in the upper 40's today you'll be in the low 60's. so that's a nice change. oakland, 61 degrees. walnut creek, 59 antioch, 58 north bay being among our cooler spots. now, tomorrow's temperatures won't be quite as warm as today's will start the day with a few showers and the day with some sunshine saturday, starting the day dry ending with the showers that should linger into sunday morning early next week. we'll dry right back out rain. john, thank you for that will. if you're taking bart, there's a 20 minute delay. >> starting in downtown oakland in the sf antioch and san jose direction. they're doing some maintenance there.

so factor that into your morning commute headed into the city is going to take you 10 minutes. no major issues there. travel times. definitely still very light. a richmond center fell bridge tolls to 1, 1, 7, minutes. san mateo bridge, golden gate bridge. don't see any delays across those bridges in this hour. crockett down towards the maze, going to 18 minutes to make that drive. if you're maybe taken highway for right now, antioch, into congress to 42, just about 19 to 20 minutes. may's traveling to that. no issues up there that if you're traveling from sailing and row into oakland's going to take you 10 minutes. if you're hopping on 5.80, westbound on see any major delays there as well. the south bay 34 minutes. that's a long 101. if you're heading from 85 into low park darya. james, back to you. it's 5.48. take a look at this sign advertising 30 hour parking. >> i was a typo on streets of l, you know, if you're just said this is rises, alameda avenue between park street and

oak street. it says a 30 hour limit in forced every day with it. i you know, to get up for said every every every 24 hours and didn't want case, but it's enforced every day from 9 to 6 to 30 hours are in between that and say i'm not going after they got to be a that's probably supposed to be 3 right. i i think know that, 31 hours but wow, it's there, ma'am, i keep because i just got a check. and let me tell you, it's 108 not to look into all right. 5.49 new phone numbers created in parts of the north bay may be given. >> the new area code 3, 6, 9, rather than the existing 707. >> so the change affects some or all of them are in napa, solano and sonoma counties. it also extends in other counties to farther north. the california public utilities commission says that the numbers with 77 are going to run out by the end of the year that i have enough existing phone numbers and calling costs, though, are not changing. >> it is 5.49 right now. and

let's follow up on what's up with tom brady. yeah, our hometown hero for all these years. 23 seasons 7. that's it for the nfl. for me. i'm done with playing so brady. >> officially made that announcement yesterday saying it's he's done for good this time for reals. no. take back. sees no, no. and kron 4 sarah stinson was at his very a hometown of san mateo to catch up with his family and friends. >> the 7 time super bowl champion tom brady got his start right here. a una pair of serra high school in san mateo. you can see this video from 1994 tom brady is in his number 12 jersey throwing to his teammate and friend in the wide receiver john kirby. the 2 broke school records together. and i remember there's one game. i think we threw 30 or 40 passes in a such a big deal in the local paper. >> playing with him is great. kirby said it's not only talent but a lot of dedication

that went into brady becoming the most successful quarterback in nfl history. but seeing him improve throughout the years is definitely a testament to all of our work. you know that he put in all the extra hours in is knowing that, you know, in the offseason, tom brady was always working. that was always, you know, part of the formula that made him such a huge success. exactly one year ago, brady said he was retiring, but he decided to play another year with the tampa bay buccaneers. in a quick video posted on social media by brady. it seems like this retirement announcement is final. >> good morning, guys. all get to the point. return. >> and even though his team didn't make it to the super bowl for his final season, brady says he has no regrets hear him say that he wouldn't change a thing. >> really, really meant a lot. you know, no matter what do the years to be grateful for the support from his teammates, family friend in to see him get emotional about that. you know that pretty

some pretty much sums up that amazing character of tom brady. >> i also stopped by the brady household in san mateo before i could even knock on the door. his mom galen opened it up with a warm greeting. she didn't want to talk on camera, but she did explain to me how she's feeling saying it's a melancholy day. brady's mom continue to explain how proud she is of her son for a successful career. brady's family and neighbors all call him tom in. well, as neighbors did not want to go on camera, all of them said they are extremely proud of his career on the field and everything he's done and will continue to do off the field. >> i'm sara stinson reporting in san mateo. back to you. >> it's 5.52. will be right back.
