good evening, amanda. >> good evening. just seen there is a lot of support here for sophia's family. i actually spoke with some of them last week before the coroner's office had confirmed that it was sophia's body and they say since that news, it's been very, very hard, event like this with so many people on that, you can step out of the way. so i can zoom in here to show you all these people still gathered here to remember, sophie are here supporting her family in this is helping them well. dozens of people gather here at hayward city halt. remember 8 year-old sophia mason hayward police say a man suspected of murdering her is still at large homicide detectives around the san francisco bay area and merced said county where she was found are searching for dante jackson, sophia's second cousin melissa harris says they're here tonight to honor sophia's memory, but also to shed light on her case. the public's attention on the case and we don't to fade out of that is we don't want to fade out of people's hearts and their minds

. >> i am amanda starrantino. let's get a check with darren peck. still windy. >>> mainly outside the mountains. outside your house may not be that bad. the wind advisory talks about how windy it is in the mountains. we are gusts near 45 miles an hour on the peaks. temperatures are fine, relatively warm for many of us. santa rosa is a warm 46. it is 38 in livermore. concord is 44. there is a little bit patchy fog in oakland but it is not widespread. it is pretty much hanging out over the airport on the water. today more sunshine. daytime highs upper 60s for inland spots, mid 60s for the bay, 67 fremont, 67 vallejo, 68 san jose. to leave you with the point on the wind advisory, stays in effect until 10:00 but it is really just the mountains. let's check with gianna and see how the drive is doing. >>> good morning on this thursday. if you are just getting ready to hit the roadways, a couple things to look for. we have reports of fire activity to the side of the road way not affecting main lines of the freeway. it could be a visual distraction for cars

amanda, what are they? what are they telling us? >> yeah, princess cruise officials. i spoke to them as well. and they say that everyone on the cruise was vaccinated against covid-19 and crew members did everything they could to protect other people on the ship from catching the virus. but the infectious disease specialist i spoke to say that cruise travel is still the riskiest type of travel. >> the famous words of yogi berra deja vu all over again. a flashback to march 2020 when a princess cruise ship docked in san francisco with hundreds of covid-19 cases on board back then there was no such thing as a covid-19 vaccine like we have today. but doctor john swartzberg, infectious disease expert at uc berkeley says he thinks taking a cruise is still a no. >> there is no way that i would take a cruise. you know, until this pandemic is under a lot better control. i don't think anybody should be cruising. frankly, doctor swartzberg says he would wait until there's an improved vaccine. >> and you could bring a therapeutic with you like paxlovid but ucsf, infectious disease
