7:08 am
i right under the food drug and cosmetic to not take the vaccine question. is there a lawsuit there because you're mandating i do something which federal law says i don't have to do. >> santa clara county officials say the specific vaccine policy and timeline are still being worked out. san francisco officials say they're going to be requiring employees get vaccinated only after the shots get full approval from the fda. up in the north bay. marin county has reported its first covid death and about 2 months. the person who died wednesday was on vaccinated and admitted to the hospital with respiratory issues. it marks the county's 186 covid deaths since the pandemic began every death there in the county has been an unvaccinated person. coming up next for the first time in 2 years. the gilroy garlic

7:16 am
recognize that in terms of some scattered clouds and also slightly more humid in some spots, too. again, there's half moon bay for us going gate bridge the towers, all secured by this morning. fog temperature. check for you. mostly in the 50's. for now. so not bad. 66 antioch 59 going on for concord. 64 livermore got those 50's up to the north. they do have those good on shore. winds have been working all last night, although they're technically little variable off to the east bay a little bit. and of course, still research up into the afternoon. stormtracker 4 again, all of the action is far down to the south. this is expected bubble up in the form of cloud cover later today and to be able to make it out here on future cast for for today. now, not too impressive at all. our fog mixes out the traditional shower activity. as you can see off to the mountains with daytime heating. but look at this next batch. a little bit more carefully as we get to tonight. and then into sunday, you can kind of see the rotation around everything. now all we're getting some scattered clouds. some of this is coastal drizzle kind of
7:17 am
left over and it may be tougher to fight the clouds at the coast a little bit more tomorrow. there's themflare up of some thunder showers note to the north are actually having a fire weather watch that's been posted up at around eureka. that's just kind of us a precaution as they see all of this go forward. but it is a window that we're going to want to watch too, really from sunday night all the way to about maybe tuesday morning with this resurgence here and then it takes a breather and then there's another one that comes friday and into early next weekend. today mostly sunny post early fog. that's this business here. you can see off in the distance and the east bay shoreline is all covered up with the fog and then tomorrow, some scattered clouds slight temperatures slide and the next week. it's the monsoon clouds to deal with. and it looks like it will be monday and tuesday. the first resurgence isolated showers through the forecast officially. but then another little resurgence we see happening again towards the end of the week for today, 64 san francisco 71 oakland san jose 81 by be dropping to the upper 70's tomorrow. wider view of everything. we do see some 90's poking out 95
7:18 am
antioch 92 for concord livermore at 92, but mostly 80's up to the north bay course we're getting all to this in the 4 zone forecast coming up a bit and check out the extent of noel. thanks, dave. a bay area family is vowing never to fly southwest airlines again. >> after they had to exit their flight because their 3 year-old son wouldn't wear a mask. eric hanson says his family was on a plane leaving las vegas for san jose and was having trouble getting the 3 year-old to wear his mask. he says 2 flight attendants and a gate agent treated them like criminals. and when they feared police were being called to arrest them. they voluntarily got off their flight and had to spend an extra night in las vegas without any of their checked luggage. >> they should giving us some more time they should have walked away. maybe said, ok, we'll give you 5 minutes or 10 minutes, but their flight was late. another an hour late. so i think they're just trying to make time and they wanted us off the plane. they didn't
7:19 am
give us any time to sit there with them and talking through it and try to get him to put it on. >> hansen complain to southwest management which sent him this e-mail apologizing for his experience. however, the airline explained to the employees were simply following the federal mask mandate and everyone over the age of 2 bust wear a mask while on public transit, the faa says they have a 0 tolerance policy for passengers who do not comply with the mask mandate. a new exclusive inside california politics and emerson college poll suggests californians are split right now on a potential statewide indoor mask mandate. but the numbers show the state's leaning more in favor of a mask mandate. we surveyed more than 1000 california voters this week, 49% said they would support such a mandate while 39% say they're against it now. analysts say it's a move. governor newsome
7:20 am
won't make lightly, especially considering his recall election less than 2 months away. >> well, if he had to go in one direction, he would probably go towards the mask mandate as he would have more support for that mandate. the problem is the opposition towards the mask mandate might be more intense than the people that actually want the mandate. so if he creates the mandate, those who are opposed to about 40%. they might actually vote at a higher propensity come the recall election. >> now, we also asked california voters how they feel about possible vaccine mandates. a slim majority. 51% said shops, restaurants and offices should not require proof of vaccination. 35% said they should. when that same question was asked, though, for large public venues like concert halls are stadiums. 49% said those venues should require proof and 40% said they should not. governor newsom says there is no plan for any kind of statewide vaccine passport system. he's

deeper into the summer and >% into the warmer parts of year. and we're just indicative of the conditions that we are facing regardless of the location. >> cal fire says one of the biggest wildfire threats they face is human activity. they urge everyone to take caution as we head into another dry that dry we those dry weekend conditions. they show no signs of stopping dave spahr as a little bit more detail. hey, dave. >> hey, good morning. and good morning, everybody. i'm just as a side there is a fire weather watch that's far up to the north around eureka. now, that's due to the fact that this month soon bubbling up and the potential for maybe sparking off some dry lightning the bay area zones. not in awe any of this for right now. it doesn't look like we're going to have the dynamics for that. good news there. what's all of that that's fog along the east bay shoreline little thicker going on this morning as what we see and that will continue. it looks like a little bit into tomorrow, too. so here's where it's all hiding out. the 4 corner states quite active in arizona, as you can see. but the other thing to make note of this. we don't see any

7:50 am
coming down to the south. there. so that's right there around cape hatteras where you see this from our case where all that warmer water gets sent out to see a little bit. but that's just what the tropical systems need that warmer water. so this has to be watched the next about 4848 or 72 hours here because it looks like they're at least going to get rain from this system back to the west coast or west coast. that is there's the sergeant's a monsoon that we talked about with this. this looks to be benign from our standpoint here. lots of cloud cover and all of that. all the action to the north and to the south of us. but there's another resurgence as we get into thursday and a little bit into friday. but again, most of the fireworks far off towards the east. as you can see in the sierra but looks like it's also carrying good rain with that will take 4 zone forecast checking into that. here for your saturday. 64 san francisco lower 60's cover the coast along the bay side peninsula 77 burlingame to the south. what about 82 redwood city? 83 palo alto. in the south bay readings in the

8:50 am
that we're getting over the next 72 or whatever hours that does not seem to have the stability. we don't think at this point. so that's good news. let's hope that holds again, overcast as we head to the coast. meanwhile, this is the moisture i'm talking about the monsoon pretty much in arizona and it looks far away. but the models say that this is surging up here real quickly for the early part of the week. now we go to the western sort. yet the western pacific gas part. take. it's tropical storm max winds at 40 watch this going forward here yeah, it's intensifying a little bit. and then it drops back down to 45 again. it pops for 50 or so that you have the current coming from the south like our gulf stream. same kind of scenario that gives fuels to tropical systems like this. however, going over land. that's where it gets chewed up currently the forecast keeps it well north of tokyo, but they may get some weather associated with this that this is even close to what happens. and this
8:51 am
would be all the way all tuesday night. their time. so expecting some of the weather to go downhill a little bit as early as maybe monday on all of this as the storm approaches the coast. so that's something we'll be watching and that they can discontinue following it. by that point becomes a tropical depression back to our coast and here comes that resurgence of tropical moisture to start things off in the week. that's the one we're really watching good news is it doesn't look like instability for us to the north, maybe then later on in the week. yeah. you get down to around friday and into next weekend there looks to be more that too, will have to be watched as we get into the next weekend. 4 zone forecast for this saturday. 64 san francisco will do the lower 60's along the coast. bayside 77 for burlingame. 72 millbrae 76 for foster city. san carlos 81. we have a couple 80's here to the south, ok 83 for palo alto. police stopped the 90's and the south bay 81 morgan hill at 89, by the way, along with los gatos 83 for cupertino. about 80 for the
