governor gavin newsom, he also will meet president biden along with this tour. the reason why this is so important, guys is because once he lands on the ground, he sees the situation he has help from fema. then he will decide how much federal assistance will be given to the state of california and the bay area. he's already promised that he would assist with the recovery efforts. now it comes down to how much will it be? he's already said he's purses, so to speak. the wallet are ready to go. but to how much that is yet to be decided along the way, guys, he will talk to business owners and get their personal firsthand experience about their suffering. and then he will also have a news conference after he sees all those areas. so he will be on the ground. and fortunately, guys, he will come with better conditions and what we've seen over the past couple of weeks. back to you. >> good enough. all right.

for the forty-niners in the actual nfc championship game. now, fast forward to just last season, the niners returned the favor, ending the cowboys season at atnt stadium sunday. the cowboys have to come to the coast and wednesday in the locker room interviews, it was made very clear that although they may not be. old enough to remember those events. the current players are definitely enjoying the shared history between the 2 teams leading up to the minute. >> yeah. i mean, it is something that has been a part of the history, right? i think right now it's not as a playable out say because it's such a different time now. and there. i mean, there's not too much of like there's bad blood between both teams. i think, you know, things might be said here and there which is football and that's just competitive, the competitive nature of of people. but at the when when sunday comes, it's going to be about 2 great football teams playing against each other. who's going to play the best offers? i'm going to taste of that's what i didn't fully understand it. now this in the second time at

worry about. >> we saw the wet game last time around. now it's going to be sunny dry in a really mild. we've got highs in the mid 50's and santa clara towards game day 03:30pm, for that kick off. sunny and nice winds light 7 to 10 miles per hour. nothing that you really need to worry about. i'd say just get that forty-niners gear ready and stay a little cozy as it could be cool at times now, radar shows you the rain that's now exited the region. now down at the central coast and central valley, sierra mostly southern sierra, still holding on to some snowfall. we've quieted down for the bay area. sure did not last long for us. it was in and it was out and now we're looking at a dry forecast for the rest of january. we started january with historically wet conditions. we're ending it just the opposite with the significant dry stretch, coastal flood advisories mostly at this point, a product of king tides. but we still do have some swollen creeks and small streams that are resulting in some isolated flooding near the coastline. so especially watch for low lying spots like highway 37 up

in the north bay parking lots that are right along the bay shore could see some standing water in them. freezing tonight because of that cold front. that's one through last night. we've got some cold evenings ahead of us. freeze warnings taking effect tonight at midnight through 09:00am tomorrow for the inland north and east bay, as well as the santa clara valley. temperatures falling below freezing in the spot. so cover those plants before you go to bed this evening. 50's for your daytime highs today. this is super similar to where we were yesterday for your temps and we don't have a whole lot of changes ahead of us. it's sunshine for the rest of the forecast. getting a little warmer next week. flirting with the sixties by sunday monday, tuesday and wednesday, but nothing but sunshine. as we wrap up this month rain. all right, john, thanks for that. as you're hitting the roads today, traveling along 1, 0, one. 33 minutes. >> 85 in to menlo park. 2, 18, 82, no major issues there. traffic, nice and light headed into the city. 8 minutes. mace that fremont street exit. if you are taking the san mateo bridge about 12 minutes, 80 to one on one. well, 8, 80 over

>> responsibility. this is an easy one. this is something that should be happening without conditions. for now. the treasury department is able to move money around from one area to another. the treasury secretary, janet yellen says if the debt ceiling isn't raised by june, the government won't be able to pay for critical obligations. that includes military salaries, social security benefits and more republicans who now control the u.s. house are blocking an increase in the debt limit. house speaker kevin mccarthy says they want to make a deal but certain conditions must be met. the common sense compromise that puts his back on to a balanced budget. republicans want massive spending cuts for the federal government and caps on future spending. who wants to put the nation in some type of threat at the last debt ceiling. nobody wants that. >> congress isn't in session this week, but lawmakers are scheduled to return to washington next weekend. they say they hope to work out a deal long before june one.

>> even the treasury department won't be able to stave off the worst consequences in washington. alexandra limon. >> okay. thank you, alex. it is 5.20 and coming up on the kron 4 morning news. the palace of fine arts in san francisco saying goodbye to one of its beloved swans will explain.

and certainly not a rainy day either. it is a cold start, though. we're in the 40's right now with redwood city of 41 degrees. same for you in berkeley in conquered north bay temperatures, our coldest delay. how an app at 39 and santa rosa at 35 degrees right now. so do bundle up this morning. dressed like it's winter, but don't need to worry about the umbrellas and the rain jackets today nor the rest of the forecast right now. john, thank you for that. well, let's get you rolling this morning if you're traveling along 5, 80 80, about 60 minutes to make that drive a richmond. sandra fell bridge richmond up heading across towards and refill a little under 10 minutes and a long 24 wannacry down to 5.80, about a 14 minute ride may's to that fremont street exit will take 8 minutes this morning. our san mateo bridge around 12 minutes, a 80 to 101. and if you are in the south bay taken one on one about 42 minutes. 85 up towards men apart starting to slow down a bit to san jose. 2, 18. 82 both moving at the limit. darya. james, back to

you. thanks, reyna. it's 5.30, and today king tides are expected to return. >> and they will last through the weekend into monday. i know this because my gym is affected and we have special hours. could you can't get there as the water too high on the roads. local officials are now telling people obviously to be prepared. >> avoid any dangerous roadways that might get inundated with high water. this is video from 2018 in mill valley before >> measures were taken there at the manzanita park and ride to prevent people from parking there in the morning. only to come back in the afternoon to see their cars half submerged. that's how high the water that's right by the buckeye road. how? that's right, right by right. by a chance to chat with battalion chief jason goldman with southern marin fire protection district. he says the king tides can cause substantial damage and you need to be on guard. >> that's where we find cars that stall they think it's just maybe a couple inches and it ends up being a foot 2 feet and they get stuck in there. so that causes problems for them or their damage. their brings resources out to help

them out. so we just ask people to be really cognizant of those areas and not drive through that is standing. and it looks like it's flooded. >> yeah, that mitigate the flooding. hot caltrans crews have put up signs and gates and fences to try and warn commuters about king waters and discourage them from parking where they ought not to be here. ecole will be floating away at the sign is like if you park here will be towed. it will be a little yeah. but there's you know, there's a kayak place down the street called c track. i could always kayak. >> some residents in the east they are worried about a wall of a massive eucalyptus tree grove there in the community and it might fall into their beautiful but dangerous. this is madison avenue and sandy street. castro valley and during one of the recent storms at tree did come down on a home and one man ended up in the hospital. and it could come down to my house. >> the public street, the public sidewalk, you could injure someone driving by. we want the whole creek to be

inspected. we want all of the trees to be looked at and checked out to sea. >> posing a danger. >> castro valley residents asking alameda county is what they were saying to look at the trees. the county tells kron 4 the residents who do not wish to have these trees on their properties should consult with tree removal contractors. so what they're saying is your problem? thick. they working on repairs with our with better in their jurisdiction. so >> it seems to me that they're saying if the tree is on your land that, well and then you related news arborists are also pretty busy doing preventative work on trees during the calm between storms. we have kron four's philippe reporting now from walnut creek where a tree expert was taking down a troubled tree. >> certified arborist and co-owner of warner trade experts. warner says look for a long and happy when this rhetoric tree creek could quickly fall on its own to the average person. it looks safe.

but warner points out, it's confined space and the inability for it actually prop weakening its foundation. it's similar to. a pot being planted. >> are small bush being in a pot? if you leave it for a long time, it becomes root bound. all of the routes are tangled and so this could be the instance in this situation opposed to the roots going horizontally. it appears that a lot of it could be root bound. it could be susceptible to win throw so you can see the roots. but if you look at this, rupaul, how grown into retaining wall, retaining wall. and if you see all of the the ball, this dirt building up around the trump flair. it says it's a sign that the tree could potentially couple over. the homeowner became concerned during several weeks of storms and decided to have the tree taking down before it falls down. we're going make the last cut. >> get the tree out of here. grind out the stump and then put in a new tree that's going to be beneficial for the next 30 to 50 years. if you suspect

trees may troubling, warner says hire a professional to check them out with a lot of saturation in big winds. i would i would not have wanted to be sleeping or be underneath the tree. fortunately, that is no longer a concern in walnut creek. philippe djegal, all kron. 4 news. >> well, san francisco has a reputation for having never ending series of car break-ins. it seems like we're doing the story all the time all the time. all over the city this week. the cal, neighborhood has seen the worst of it. kron four's dan kerman takes us there. broken car windows is what kohala residents woke up to a long filbert street monday morning. >> with nearly 2 dozen vehicle break-ins in the area, i was just shocked to cease shattered glass. all over patrician issue. moto shot these photos monday morning. i don't feel. especially at night, especially after something like this happens, it kind of triggers off again. at you better. remember, be

careful. >> wednesday afternoon, the smashed cars were no longer in sight, but the broken glass was easy to spot along filbert near steiner united. it's getting worse and i think it's happening more in this neighborhood than it has in the past. and that is the more to be done and actually stop it when something happens immediately. when i moved here is like i wanted that underground parking under my it you know, it's a little bit extra each month, but i think it's super worth it. >> i do. or even if i just have to drive down the street and take my car, some are, you know, i'm a little concerned, but it's kind of part of the city and it's just it's absolutely unacceptable. >> but san francisco supervisor, catherine stefani who represents the cow hollow area says residents should not have to accept car break ins as a cost of living in the city. i think this is a product of the fact that we are 500 police officers or more short in san francisco, stephanie says hiring more police officers to walk. the beach isn't going to happen overnight, but she says she'll push to make it a budget

priority and hopes community ambassadors coupled with a tougher on crime da's office will make a difference. in the meantime. >> for now, the best advice is the same advice we keep hearing. leave nothing visible in your car and certainly nothing of value. in san francisco. dan kerman kron. 4 news. >> it's 5.37. and a 23 year-old man was arrested, accused of assaulting and murdering his 24 year-old girlfriend and san leandro happened sunday morning at a home on marina boulevard. police found the woman with trauma to her head and torso. they did not say how this happened or what led up to it, but they said they were able to determine that cheddar on rose responsible for the murder after talking to witnesses and reviewing surveillance video. we will take a break here at 5.37, but still ahead on the kron, 4 morning news, a man saves a couple from a burning building in san francisco. we're going

to hear him tell us. >> how he did that. plus, in a few months, we will no longer see the bay bridge all lit up. we'll explain why. and coming up after the break, the irs says that some filers may want to wait a little bit before filing their taxes will tell filing their taxes will tell when you're ready to go, but static says “whoa.” try bounce lasting fresh. more freshness. more softness. less static. less wrinkles. new bounce lasting fresh. yeah! it's the sheet. bill loveless: i came to the lord at the age of about 42. dr. charles stanley has been so important in my life, just his teachings. one of the life principles is that brokenness is a requirement

for god to use you greatly, is when you can become that conduit of what god wants to do through you to get to other people. it's just amazing of what god can do with you.

a warning from the irs for those eager to file your 2022 tax return. >> pump the brakes. that's

what they're saying. the irs suggesting actually you wait for key documents before filing now. one to watch out for is your 10 99 k which reports in come from third-party payment platforms like pay pal or venmo or cash app. if you don't report it, you may owe money and you'll need to file an amended return, which is just more work after the fact. so before 2022, the reporting threshold for third-party platforms for taxpayers with more than 200 transactions was above $20,000. well, now the american rescue plan act of 2021 sets the limit at just $600, which may trigger need for this form for you when you previously didn't have to funnel. see people like me don't have to worry about this because people like you do it early. people like me, are we wait to like that? so have to pump the brakes. just ease off >> 5.41 right now state lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are backing a proposal to ban tiktok from state issued smartphones and devices. lawmakers who support this say they are concerned

that tiktok since it's owned by chinese company called byte dance contract. personal information. if you grant permission more than 20 states have already banned tiktok from there state issued devices and congress has done the same for all federally issued phones. no word on if the governor supports the suns is chase legislation. so we'll have to see if state workers are going to be able to have tiktok or not. -seriously? -why do you do it? -you ignore the signs and the flashing lights. -that's my dad. -that's my mom behind those cones. -how would you feel if that was your family? -flashing lights mean "move over."
