out there. orange areas in the north bay, those continue to be our high wind warnings were most susceptible to the stronger wind gusts over 50 miles per hour. as you are traveling, especially over bridges and mountain passes, both hands on the wheel. you're going to feel those gas. as i mentioned, upwards of 50 miles per hour. northbound north bay mountains, 20 to 30 miles per hour. elsewhere in the bay area. at least it's fairly comfortable to start. so it's just really breezy a bit of a cool feel to it because of that 40's and 50's for our current temperatures. rain. john, thanks for that. all right. as you're traveling on this wednesday morning, we do have a few delays. >> and we've been seeing out there like this one out in oakland along 8.80, northbound, just north of 20rd avenue. so you are starting to see some issues there. 5.80, might be a good option, but things are slowing down there as well. out an alamo. a new accident popping up 6.80, northbound south of stole valley road. so we'll keep a close eye on things there heading into the city right now. still have gusty winds along the bay bridge. 17

minutes as you're traveling from the maze to that fremont street exit. and as you head across towards the peninsula, a little under 17 minutes. darya. james, back to you. thank you. or 8 o'clock into this morning. cal fire says that fire burning near big spur, sir in monterey county is now. >> 100% contained. that's good news. it did burned 687 acres because been going for over a week. but luckily nobody has been hurt and only one structure was destroyed. it started as a prescribed burn. it was was to be controlled. burn intended to clear dry brush win whipping winds. got it out of control. and we're talking about actually whipping winds today. take a look at this strong winds that we said started yesterday morning. and so this was a marine county yesterday afternoon that high wind advisory last through tomorrow morning. it does. yeah. even though it's not fire season. >> marin county, especially in fact, a lot of places up in the north bay. we're really watching these winds carefully. they're taking it seriously. they have crews scattered all around the area ready to jump on anything that

might spark. >> even though you know, we're we're in the winter season. we just haven't had the rain that we would normally be getting and runs months. our last trains been over a month ago. so our fuel conditions are prime for a wind event like this, that they actually have a fire that could spread. and just like we saw monterey that the fire, you know, put 1000 acres down and one nights over we're taking jurors. >> and again, be on the lookout. be careful because the winds will last through tomorrow morning. so there's a burn ban in marin county. also the fire department is asking you to avoid certain areas like the mount tam watershed, at least until later this week. and it's not just the north bay, either. the south bay, san jose. >> dealt with some pretty strong winds to fact strong enough to bring down this tree branch. that is a giant tree branch to see how it came down over a we'll sidewalk their last sales park yesterday afternoon. turns out there a couple kids that were on that sidewalk playing with that branch came down. so firefighters rush them to the hospital and we're happy to

report that they only have minor injuries so they should be okay. but just another example of some of the dangers that are that are there when the winds really pick up. >> it's 8, 0, 2, and a big story in the east bay. health officials in alameda county say the worst of the omicron surge is behind let's hope that continues to be the case. crawford's camila barco live with the update here. >> on the alameda county. good morning. camila. >> good morning, daryn. fancy alameda county's health officer says that people in allen, the county, maybe past the peak of the omicron but that means that still means that people in alameda are not out of the woods yet. according to the health officer, nicholas masi says that case rates and hospitalizations are falling. he says katie case rates are going down more slowly than me went up in alameda county on january the county saw its peak of daily covid cases. it was at 266 and it dropped to

one 46 by the end of the month on january. 25th know that's a good sign says that case rates are still high. more than 400 people are in the hospital with covid in about 74 people are in the icu. the county's dash 4 shows that case rates hospitalizations and intensive care cases all beat in january. but with case rates dropping law says that people might see covid restrictions ease like indoor masking. however, he says that face coverings are still going to continue to be important, especially when you're sick. and health experts continue to push for people to get the vaccine because they say that's the best tool to protect yourself against covid. law says alameda county has not seen its health care system overwhelmed like other places where there's a lower vaccination rates. the population 81.4% of the population in alameda county is vaccinated. now. and daryn,

james ma says that life probably like probably won't ever returned the way it was before the pandemic. but he says that we are getting closer to a living. what we've been calling new normal. so maybe we might see less mass. we know that's been happening in san francisco. maybe that might happen in alameda county soon. we'll just have to see. back to you guys. all right. nice to see you, camila. thanks a lot for that report. >> well, speaking of masks and testing, it is going to be a little bit easier to get a free covid pcr test in san mateo county. the counties actually partnered with carbon health to make about 2000 free tests available each and every day out at the san mateo event center. and it's a walk-up clinic to see. you don't have to make an appointment. they're open tuesdays through sundays from 8 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon. and the results from these tests actually come back to within 48 hours. so it's fairly fast. >> pfizer has officially requested the fda granted

emergency authorization use for its covid vaccine for children under the age of 5, which are the only ones who can get vaccinated. now, that's 19 million children that applies to across the u.s. federal regulators are expected to take a look at the data and they could approve pfizer's 2 dose vaccine for the littlest kids by the end of this month, early data suggest 2 doses is safe and produces an immune response. but also the company is testing a 3 dose regimen as well. >> i think we need to be thinking about these vaccinations kind of going forward in general is a three-dose series said obviously the 2 dose did, you know, was insufficient against the omicron variant. the company hasn't released any safety concerns with his 3 doses so far in the little is kids. >> data from the cdc shows that in that age group, hospitalization rates are increasing nationwide. >> well, speaking of vaccines, there could soon be a new one available here in the u.s. this one from drugmaker

novavax. they're asking the fda right now for emergency use authorization for their protein based vaccine. this is new. they've done clinical trials. they say the results are pretty good. about 91st 90% effective and it's made by using small laboratory built pieces of the coronavirus, which is kind of a more traditional approach to developing a vaccine. and because this is a protein based approach, it can help people who currently can't use the mrna shots. so they be eligible for this new one. the vaccine is administered as a 2 dose regimen 3 weeks apart. and if the fda gives novavam the green light, the company says they could actually have about 100 million doses. ready to go immediately. all right. switching gears to other breaking news from overnight. a san jose man is expected to survive after being stabbed. it happened on the west santa clara street area last night with police saying the victim have life threatening injuries when they found him. so the russian to the hospital. so far, no arrests been made. but we're keeping you updated on the story as more information comes in. and in the south bay

as well. san jose has 7 pedestrian deaths so far this year. and we're only now just starting the month of february is not more. you know, they want to see the at kron four's will tran has been breaking down the numbers for us and what police are saying about it will will at its current pace. the city of san jose, the police department, not only will they match. >> last year's traffic fatalities. they will shatter that number. we're talking 60 for 2021. and so far this year, we're talking 10 traffic fatalities. 7 of them involved pedestrians. and the latest one actually was one and a half miles from this location here it was at new hall and the about 4.40, in the morning. this was back on january 23rd when a man was in the crosswalk at the time looks like a service vehicle comes along hits. this man stops momentarily, but keeps going. so they are still searching for that driver this morning. he would ultimately

died from his injuries on january. 28. so they are still investigating that. they're also investigating other fatalities. most of them have happened to homeless. they're not victim shaming at this time are blaming them. this was the fact that they are talking about and oftentimes the victims. >> happened outside the crosswalk. now at this current pace, they are telling people that they have to do measures, including maybe possibly better lighting, maybe brighter crosswalks. but in the meantime, the first line of defense they are saying will be the drivers. here's the san jose police department talking about things that are possibly on the table to make this city safer for pedestrians. >> way ahead of the pace in terms of traffic fatalities for this time last year, i believe one word to april when we have this many traffic fatalities, one pedestrian death in our city is one too many. and we're at 7 for the month of january. a lot of

variables in this equation, how we're going to fix this. we're talking, you know, the department of transportation. different things that we can do to kind of mitigate what's been happening. lee? >> the >> just to give you perspective. so we're sitting at 10 and this is february second. they did not hit the number 10 as far as traffic fatalities until the month of april. just to give you a pace of how far they are compared to last year. and of course, they want people to slow down because some cases speed is a factor. but in other cases is just simple as it's in the overnight hours and it is dark now that you can see the sun is up visibility is better. but often times it is dark and maybe drivers are in a hurry. the investigation is continuing as far as the driver involved in that hit and run back on january. 23rd. the man's name not being released at this back to all right. thank you very much. well,

>> 10 is the timing. coming up, 2 people shot in oakland spa. >> we'll have more about what happened. and the clues the police walked away with as they investigate to try to they investigate to try to find a missing bay area woman. and now most admired alum. get up there. this is so embarrassing. there's no way it's me.

and going to continue to remain this way. as we mentioned. well, to the day, even into tomorrow morning. now, skies today are going to remain nice and clear. this offshore wind is super dry, which is part of the reason fire danger is up so much. we're not tapping into any sort of marine layer. in fact, just the opposite. really dry humidity, 10 to 15% high pressure to our west, a low to our east and the pressure gradient in the middle is resulting in the strong wind that especially for the north bay could cause some problems all over again, 50 miles per hour. plus, wind gusts throughout the course of the afternoon, especially above 2000 feet in elevation. your mountain passes and you're bridges. most object to those stronger gusts that be pushing right across the area. coastal areas in the inland east bay hills and valleys. also going to be seeing some really strong gusts today, deep orange areas. i mentioned these yesterday. those your high wind warnings in our areas that are going to see the strongest of gas, much of the rest of the bay area lit up in those golden hues, which is a wind advisory. now,

some hazards and delays. let's take a look at that. and the south bay. so san jose southbound 87 at west capitol expressway and then also along one o one north of mckee road in san jose. so those 2 disabled vehicles are slowing traffic down there along those highways heading into the city. we are improving about 15 minutes. last time we checked daily were upwards of 20 or so the san mateo bridge heading across towards the peninsula. about 14 minutes, some slower highways. so along 8.80, san leandro to oakland about 22 minutes there. we have an accident on one 85 southbound south of ashland avenue in san leandro. so that also contributing to some delays were seen there out of richmond heading across towards sandra fell about 16 minutes. we'll have more weather and traffic coming up. the darya and james, back to you. thank you. rate 8.17, a big story this morning. the nfl is facing accusations of racism former head coach brian flores is suing the miami

responded to floors saying, quote, diversity is core to everything we do. and there are a few issues on which our clubs and or internal leadership team spend more time. we will defend against these claims which are without merit floor is also takes aim at his former franchise alleging the dolphins owner stephen ross offered to pay him $100,000 per loss for a better draft position during the 2019 season. the miami dolphins responded to flores's claim saying, quote, we vehemently deny any allegations of racial discrimination and are proud of the diversity and inclusion throughout our organization floor is also accuses the denver broncos of racial discrimination and says the broncos, gm at the time john elway showed up an hour late for a meeting over a vacancy in 2019 and appeared to be hungover. the broncos in both the refuted this claim calling the allegations lately falls. >> that's ileana diaz reporting for us. and it's a developing story. so we'll

keep you updated right here on kron 4 on the news and on our website at kron 4 dot com. >> it is a 19 and in election news this morning, lawmakers are taking a closer look at california's recall process and weather and i think should be changed. critics say that the recall is costly, a overused and has recently become weaponized against elected officials in just about every level of government all the way down to school councils in a hearing, california secretary of state shirley weber suggested that maybe shortening the recall ballot to just a single yes or no question is what's needed and eliminate altogether. the second question, which asks voters to pick a replacement? >> is this something needs to be called what circumstances? it's always company's business person better than the other. 43. >> weber also suggested that state lawmakers consider raising the standards to recall the governor, maybe extending the timeframe to have a recall and limiting the number of attempts to recall someone. no action was taken

in yesterday's hearing. but state lawmakers do have at least a couple more weeks now have to file their proposals. ultimately, though, any change would be up to the voters. so we'll see what happens. california's first-ever surgeon general doctor nadine burke, harris is stepping down from her post. doctor burke harris was appointed as surgeon general back in 2019 and she's been instrumental in california is response to the covid pandemic. in a statement, governor gavin newsom, thank her for her work regarding equity, mental health and early childhood development. a replacement has not yet been named. and join kron 4 as we commemorate black history month. our own pam moore is going to be hosting a half hour special entitled honoring black history. mind body soul. it will air thursday, february 24th at 6.30, in the evening. so mark your calendars, make sure you join us. >> a 21 is a time and coming up, what's next for tom brady after 22 years in the nfl and

wins the super bowl. that is going to walk off on this grand stage. but to his credit, he did it on his own terms from the hall of fame walls to the football stadium named after the brady family. >> sarah high school has a lot of pride in what tom brady has accomplished since graduating in 1995. really fantastic to see his tremendous growth and his commitment to the sport and into his community. earning admiration from his former teachers and coaches, but also from current students. you can look at number 12 success story and see their own possibilities for the future that they know the path wasn't easy, that he worked extremely hard to get to where he is. and i think that, you know, makes him such a role model for for the students here at sarah, knowing that they can do the same thing, if that's what they desire. there's been a lot of speculation about what's next for brady. those i spoke to tuesday say they're not sure professionally but know that personally. i want to enjoy time with his family. >> from his wife and kids to his parents who still live in the area in san mateo. i'm rob nesbitt kron. 4 news. >> stop members on a hunger

to our west, that low pressure bringing winner to the rest of the country. we remain dry and mild in the pressure gradient between the both putting that offshore winds just right into the bay. so this is going up fire danger. these dry winds dropping humidity as low as 10 to 15% this afternoon. wind gusts in the north bay over 50 miles per hour at times. and even though a little calmer along the bay shore in the south bay still checking into 20 to 30 miles per hour. wind gusts because of that, we will remain in either wind advisories in gold or in those orange areas. high wind warnings through the day today on into tomorrow morning after that wind should begin to calm down. that sets us up for a much more favorable weekend for getting back outside 60's for most of our daytime highs today. keep the jackets on hand because with the winds, it's going to feel fairly brisk tomorrow, calmer but right around the same as far as temperatures go, there's those mid 60's this weekend and some calmer conditions and eventually upper 60's to low 70's by next week. punxsutawney phil might be

the main takeaways. this drought is still far from over that clear message coming from sean de he and his team with the california department of water resources, snow surveys and water supply forecasting unit measure the snow here and found in phillips alone, the snowpack stands at 109% of average for this time of year. the state's snowpack lower than that 92% for were should be today. and 78% of where it should be by april. first, we all need to be prepared >> for a 3rd consecutive dry year, it's a reality that state leaders had hoped to avoid at the beginning of winter. thanks to record snowfall in parts of the state just a few weeks ago, philip snowpack at the time was more than 200% above average in the state's snowpack was more than 160% above average, then came one of the driest january's on record that one dry month of january basically wiped out whatever head start. we had as we head towards the end of winter. >> california's water supply. our coverage from phillips at the end of december shows just how much things were different. then there's so

much snow here in philips that the state officials in charge of this snow survey had to walk in with snow shoes just to get to this area. now, just over a month later, no snowshoes required this time. those in charge of this survey and philip say over the last 30 days, this specific area maybe got a dusting, but that's it. >> and they need help from mother nature. >> we will need to see a return of those winter storms during february during march to really keep track and remain right around normal. >> hoping for more snow as the drought lingers on in. philip say tom wallace, fox 40 news. >> coming up on the kron 4 morning news. doctors say the alameda county may have seen the worst of the omicron variant. hopefully it's behind us now. we'll have more details coming up in a live report. and san jose has already seen 8 pedestrians killed so far this year. the most recent happening just this morning. on what happened in the next hour.
