summer time weather for early august to keep saying, i going to pay for this in september bikes. >> don't think that here's what we've got going good morning, james. good morning, everybody. on storm tracker 4, i'm kind of showing this because it's we see all this activity but not going to packed us. this is all up in the mountains for tahoe going on, included. but it's going to kind of a one-day event. and then from the standpoint of tahoe that's going to sink to the south and east. but it's leftover monsoon that keeps cooking. what's interesting about this is this has been going on all over night when the atmosphere has the least amount of energy in it and the rain tends to stabilize the atmosphere a little bit. so that will keep the fireworks down a little bit this afternoon is actually the system departs temperatures for you. we have the lower to middle 60's in the east bay up to the north bay. most readings in the lower 60's 60 for san francisco. san jose. you got 63 at the ballpark tomorrow. it's the giants versus athletics. not looking bad first, pitch 4, 0, 7, temps mid 60's for your saturday afternoon evening. variable

clouds, cool. we'll call it with a west wind near about 10. all right. the temperatures, 65 am by 11. we're talking. 75 in a bit. we'll be taking a look at that extended forecast for you and also to the 4 zone james. all right, dave, thank you very much for 31. let's find out what it's like out there on the traffic front. still pretty good are westbound 80 ride, the rich or the bay bridge toll plaza camera showing us. it's a pretty smooth commute here from oakland and san francisco have been picking up anything on the chp logs. so >> it's a pretty open right out there for you. no matter where you are. and that includes the san mateo bridge. our live camera there shows you the westbound direction, which is your commute direction. this morning on the right side is moving well, no problems as you make your way from hayward out to foster city. to the north, the richmond, sandra fell bridge. let's check this portion of west bound 5.80, those headlights from richmond out towards sandra fell. and as you can see, no slow down at the toll plaza whatsoever. you're making good time out towards marin county. and then

for those north bay planning on heading southbound one, 0, one across the golden gate bridge in the san francisco. so far. so good. no problems. nothing slowing you down as you make your way, least from that part of the north bay down into san francisco. we'll have another weather and traffic check coming up here in just a bit. but now let's get back to the headlines this morning at 4.33. now on the clock. and let's talk about monkeypox. we know it's already become a huge issue here in california, so much so that its ranks second in the nation for having the highest positivity rate. second only to new york. now, at least at last check the state had over 1000 monkeypox cases and that includes probable and confirmed cases by the cdc. san francisco is leading the state in monkeypox cases with more than 400 cases. again, that's in san francisco alone. and that's up from last week's 305. we spoke to a tyler timber termeer. he's the ceo, san francisco aids foundation about the declaration and he says it to look could come

sooner. >> we're going to do everything that we can to end this outbreak. that is our commitment. and that's what we're going to make that we do that. >> public health emergency over of monkeypox outbreak that's infected thousands of americans. the department of health and human services making that move today in order to free up federal money and resources to fight the virus. and the demand for vaccines is been going through the roof, quite frankly, as case counts continue to grow. concern continues to grow. san francisco says it hasn't received enough monkeypox vaccine to meet the demand due to limited supply. they say vaccines, the monkeypox clinic at sf general actually had to close its doors to walk-ins for the rest of the week. and it didn't take any walk-ins on thursday at all. in the south bay, santa clara county is receiving over 2100 monkeypox vaccines from the state. the

supply coming from the federal stockpile was county officials saying the vaccine supply still pretty low right now, more doses are needed. the county reporting 65 probable and confirmed cases of monkeypox at this point this morning. now the entire bay area is dealing with a shortage of monkeypox vaccines. but in san mateo county, there are no vaccine clinics at all. kron four's dan kerman explains why. >> well, limited numbers of vaccine has led to long lines and a handful of san francisco monkeypox clinics and san mateo county. there are no monkeypox clinics at all. i'm sure detail county can set up their own clinic say they did it for covid-19 and you're getting up to that patrick is and lives in san mateo county. he says he can't get through to the public health department and staff members of this county supervisor's office have told them to go wait in line in san francisco because san mateo county is sending its vaccine down their game are being pushed off the side, at least in san mateo county, which which i find

very concerning. >> it reminds me very much of the age, a pandemic when that first started and how we were ignored. >> we recognize that we're in an evolving situation that's really challenging and sympathize with the questions and the concerns are working toward having the opportunity to get information from that. >> mark mellman is the director of public health policy and planning for the san mateo county public health department. he says vaccine doses are being sent to san francisco because they believe many of their at risk residents seek health care there. he also says some of the vaccine has been doled out to major health care systems in the county. but he knows more needs to be done. we are working on having an opportunity through our website for people to indicate their interest to filling out a short survey. >> and so that identifying them as individuals ever asks so that we are able to that contact them as vaccine becomes available and again,

yes, if they indicate through that process that they're connected with health care provider has the vaccine will try and help make that connection. and if not, then we will work on setting up some clinics that can get the vaccine to folks that don't have that pathway, patrick hope. san mateo county changes that system quickly. it seems the county needs to get in front of this and say, hey, we do have more doses. let's give these doses out. and if there's extra. >> you know what? that's great. invite people from san francisco to come down. san mateo county, dan kerman kron. 4 news. >> yeah. meanwhile, california and san francisco's departments of health are thinking about requesting a different smallpox vaccine. this one is called a camp 2000. it's a smallpox vaccine that was approved back in 2007, 100 million doses apparently had been stored in the strategic national stockpile. since then. and the state has requested 200 of those doses. we're working right now to learn when we can expect those doses to arrive

here in the bay area. california lawmakers, by the way, on both sides of the aisle are calling on the state to do more to slow the spread of monkeypox. there are more than 800 confirmed cases in the state right now. we've got 8 on wallace with more on the story. >> it's an important stop. an important step is how senator scott wiener describes the governor state of emergency declaration over monkeypox. it opens doors for more. >> efficient testing and vaccination and just allows us to be more nimble. he says it will allow the state to dedicate more funding to slow the spread of the viral disease that often present with flu-like symptoms, rashes and skin lesions to take steps. but the san francisco democrat says more must be done. >> he sent the governor this letter calling some to green light in emergency budget allocation of 38 and a half million dollars funding wiener says would directly assist the fight against monkeypox on a local level to support county. >> public health departments which are responsible for expanding testing vaccination

and community outreach. we need to make sure the counties but their public health departments have the support that they need. it comes as we are set to chair a brand new monkeypox select committee serving on it with him. republican senator rosalie see a road show a boat. in a statement she said the committee will work to protect communities through education, uniform guidelines and that has doctors stress. there are ways to guard against the virus the way you can protect yourself. >> is making sure that the people who you are very close to that if they have a rash and then you might want to opt out of being very close to them. and if people have rashes, they want to make sure to see their healthcare provider, get that diagnosed and limit interaction with other so that they don't transmit to others. and members of the monkeypox select committee will hold their first meeting next tuesday reporting at the california state capitol. a tom wallace kron. 4 news. >> well, the berkeley city council was supposed to hold a meeting to talk about reinstating the discretionary

use of >> tear gas and pepper spray for crowd control. now this comes on the heels of a protest of people's park which turned violent. but the mayor decided to cancel that meeting at the last minute. kron four's theresa stasi explains why. and what's next? >> it was canceled because i don't believe that we should appeal are. current prohibition on the use of tear gas for crowd control situations. that is berkeley's mayor jesse ever again on why thursday's meeting was quashed. that mayor explains the council was considering lifting the ban due to the need for more help. >> managing crowds such as in the case on wednesday as protesters clash with police at uc berkeley's new proposed development at people's park forms by the loudoun county sheriff's department. that because we have a ban on tear gas that they're not going to sen. >> personnel, it berkeley called joint. and that was concert. and the fact that people's park is in an urban environment

>> it's very likely that things could spill over onto city and we do not have enough police to effectively manage the situation. so we're going to need help. the mayor says since then, he has spoken with the alameda county sheriff who promised mutual aid even with the ban. remember 2014 when there were a series of protests and solidarity, black lives matter movement and our police use quite a bit of tear gas and one night it that just the impact it has in public health in in indiscriminately impacting other people. also, i think creates a chilling effect for people engage in first amendment activity. 7 people were arrested during wednesday's protest and the development project is halted for now. uc berkeley spokesperson says school officials are trying to figure out the next phase need to assess. now we need to think about a different way forward. that we have some individuals
