monitor. there's still some severe for portions of the central valley. but look at notably where we're at right around los angeles up through the central coast that is out of drought. now down to abnormally can try. so this rainfall last week officially making a huge impact. and for the first time in a minute, we have a tiny sliver of northwest california. that's at del norte county. that is no longer and even abnormally dry conditions. so this is a lot of progress rate here savor. hopefully we get more rainfall ahead of us. can wipe out a little bit more the shades, but huge, huge progress for sure. now we're sitting after last night's rain that's moved out of the region back into the central valley central coast, seared getting some snowfall bay area. nice and quiet. and we stay that way for the rest of the month. sure. we do need more rainfall ahead of us, but i think we've earned a nice steady break. and that's exactly what we've got. nothing in the forecast in the way of any sort of rain, not just for the rest of this week, but into next week, too.

you why do we have coastal flood advisories that we still have some swollen streams? we also have king tides rising into the rest of the weekend into the weekend. so low lying roads, areas like parking lots right along the bay shore could see some standing water there. otherwise, it's just kind of cold tonight. we will have freeze warnings for the inland north and east bay as well. santa clara valley on up through 09:00am tomorrow morning. temps today will be mild. i'd say bring the sweaters the light jackets with you in today's going to feel just right for venturing outside and hopefully enjoying some time out there. bill brandt 52 today saying carlos at 54 south bay temperatures in the low to mid 50's while looking at some low to mid 50's across the east bay as well. oakland a comfortably cool. 54 degrees. san ramon at 50 degrees, the laos and know that as well as santa rosa. also at that pretty common 54.

will look at the map this morning. traveling along 101, or 2.80. >> travels. pretty nice and light. it's not here. along 5, 18, 80 and how we floor where you start to see slight delays and traffic picking up just a bit here at the toll plaza as well. also along 101, no major issues there slightly. if you're traveling to little more along 5.80, slight delay there and just pockets of slowness traveling along i-80 towards fremont heading into the city right now. it's going to take you 30 minutes may so that fremont street exit. how about our san mateo bridge? 80 to 1, 0% 1, 13 minute ride. no issues. accidents hazards. there. richmond center fell bridge tolls to want a lot about 8 minutes heading out of richmond. and let's get a look at our drive times golden gate bridge. 37 to the tolls. 19 minutes, a strain services disabled today and tomorrow, monday that a try and bring that back. darya. james, back to you. thank you. reyna 6.17, and people are paying more than double now for a carton of eggs compared to what we

pay this time last year. yeah, prices just been climbing partially due to inflation, but it's also >> due to do with the bird flu that's been making chickens across the country. 6 that's been impacting the supply. zach boetto has more of a look. >> we've a sunday note. >> why? because they're too expensive him around this time. last year, the average price for a dozen large eggs in the united states was about $2. now, according to u.s. department of agriculture, that same doesn't is about $4.60 here in california. we're paying even more and consumers are feeling that extra cost their double the price for aig's right now. we can do without them. steven, get early with the association of farmers says right now the egg supplies low due to a bird flu sweeping through other parts of the united states. pair that with rising inflation and the holiday season, which is when eggs are most in demand. and you have what we're seeing right now, which is a spike in prices. midwest hens had significant

influenza infections are wiped out a significant amount of the flock. >> and that's causing the high prices that demand for eggs are up significantly as >> and and we we we are we can't suppliers customers 100%. there are get police as california hasn't seen. the flu hit its chickens partially due to the biosecurity used to keep outside elements like migrating birds away. he says california eggs don't leave the state. farmers here only supply about 50% of what's consumed across california. and that is what's playing part in the shortage here. however, local family-owned grocery stores are saying supply. is it really a problem if you go to farmers markets, if you go to small local markets. >> the supply tends to still be good because we're getting local fortunately locally, we haven't been hit with the avian flu problem as bad as other places back east in the south. and and says prices

won't remain this high for loft the consumption of eggs in november and december. just go off the charts. so now that we're in january, we will see we've already seen kind of people are on diets. people kind of slow down there's less need for january february. they're saying in a couple of months that will start to ease up. >> and that was at reporting and they are saying that there is a trick, if you will save money by eggs in bulk. yeah. you can't freeze the go with the show. but if you do crack your eggs and mix them up, you can freeze that for future use. the scrambled jury bought out scramble. not you're good at. once 6.20, right now the country was projected to hit the debt limit today. so there could be some serious consequences economically. yeah, we have a lawmakers being pressed to raise the debt limit. washington correspondent alexandra limon standing by in dc with more on this ticking clock. good morning, alex.

>> hey, guys. good morning. and it's likely we won't feel the economic impacts right away. but that's only because the treasury department is using what it calls extraordinary measures basically shifting money around in order to pay for immediate needs. but the department says those measures will likely only be able to keep the country afloat until about summer. the u.s. is expected to hit its borrowing limit today. the country soon won't be able to pay for obligations unless congress takes action dealing with the debt ceiling is their constitutional. >> 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 balance 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. >> now congress isn't in session this week, but lawmakers are scheduled to be back here in washington next weekend. they say they hope to be able to hammer out. >> an agreement long before june when the treasury department says it will no longer be able to stave off the worst economic consequences. live in washington. alexandra limon. >> okay. thank you, alex. we'll see what happens. 6.22. is the time. and coming up, convicted murderer kevin chauvin is going to be returning to court trying to get a new trial while his legal team say he should not have been tried in minneapolis that derek chauvin.

>> we're back at 6.25. and attorneys for former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin appeared in court wednesday with the hope of getting him a new trial. the jury convicted chauvin back in 2021. for the murder of george floyd in may of 2020 chauvin's attorneys are asking the court to overturn his conviction and they're arguing that the case should not have been tried in minneapolis and the jury should have been

fully sequestered after a panel of 3 minnesota court of appeals justices heard the case. they will deliver a 90 will have 90 days to issue a ruling. chauvin was sentenced to more than 22 years in prison after video showed the then police officer kneeling on floyd's neck and back for more than 9 minutes while making an arrest. >> it's 6.26, and now it's been 15 months since end a target for helena hutchins was shot and killed on the set of the movie rust in santa fe, new mexico. that was in october of 2021. and the actor producer of the film alec baldwin is the one who ended up shooting hot shuns, killing her because he didn't realize the gun was loaded. baldwin has repeatedly says that he never actually even pulled the trigger. he calls the whole thing a tragic accident. there have been questions about the live animal that was found on the set, how it got there. and also workers walking off the job because of the working conditions. one attorneys spoke to news nation and said

that she thinks that alec baldwin will eventually be charged with involuntary manslaughter. >> so you think that they are going to? move forward? with an involuntary manslaughter charge. >> i do. i think it's really unlikely that they would have asked for the $600,000 in funding that they didn't think they had enough to go forward on that. >> and once again, this is only speculation right up to this point. no charges have been filed. a district attorney says the announcement will be a solemn occasion when they do make an announcement on charges or no charges. >> coming up, mayor london breed moving fast to open a safe consumption site in the city. just ahead, her plan o -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."

bundling up. skies are clear for the bay area. rainfall and snow for that matter have exited the region. snow up in the sierra, mostly the southern sierra at this point. >> and rainfall working its way to the valley out towards fresno, down along the central coast from this point forward, winds will calm down a little breezy at the coast, but most of us nice and calm. just clear, calm and cold. the san jose are 44 double in brentwood conquered right at 40 degrees and some upper 30's for the north bay. so you definitely want to pair today with some extra layers to start and a nice sweater or light jacket. we do. you get this afternoon john, thank you for that. well, we're looking at our traffic in our travels across the east bay. >> 5, 80 westbound at ha pr road in pleasant. and we have an accident there. so you are seeing a slight delay. but look at 6.80, through san remo. nice and light traveling through the maze 8, 85, 80 13 all nicely moving at the limit for you heading into the city. it's going take you 15 minutes. mace that fremont street exit with the meter light on our san mateo bridge.

18 1, 0, 1, 14 minutes traveling across towards the peninsula. one of the south bay little construction, right at tully road northbound, 1, 1, there. so just a slight delay. 32 minutes. 85 towards menlo park while to 80 in a 2 are both nice and light darya. james, back to you. thank you. reyna 6.32, the city of san francisco is taking steps to address the ongoing problem of drug overdose. yeah, they're proposing new legislation that will allow privately-funded safe consumption sites with kron four's camila barco. >> live in san francisco to explain. good morning. camila. >> and good morning, james. good morning, deiah. so yeah, mayor london breed and supervisor hillary ronen. they are determined to open a safe consumption site here in the city. but because of federal and state legal issues right now, they can not so they have legislation to get those sites open that wouldn't be paid with taxpayer money. safe consumption sites. they have

been a topic of dissent discussion for the board of supervisors for a while in 2020, the boar set up a process for how they will grant permits for city-funded overdose prevention programs like safe consumption sites. but because the way the law was written, it doesn't allow the programs to open until federal and state legal issues are resolved. so right now, breeden ronin are introducing legislation that would repeal the twenty-twenty permitting structure if it is approved, it would allow for the safe consumption site to be privately funded by a nonprofit before the legal issues are sorted out. it was just a year ago that the 10 year ling center opened as part of breeds emergency declaration for that neighborhood. the goal was to reduce outdoor drug use and overdose deaths is served as a one-stop shop, but less than a year later, the doors now breeden road and are trying to get a new site open and darya james, that legislation it will be introduced to the board of supervisors on the 24th. that's next tuesday. and as we know, safe consumption

site, they have been quite controversial here in the city will just have to see what the board the board thinks about this new legislation. but for now, i'll send it back to you. thanks a lot. camilla. >> it is 6.33, and happening today, the king tides are back. well, they're expected to return to the bay area starting today lasting through the weekend and into monday. and we know the drill because it happens in the same area again and again. and you can see this is mill valley. >> where this deep water is from 2018. and this was before they took some measures from manzanita park and ride. you see how high the waters get there. a battalion chief jason golden with the southern marin fire protection district says king tides can cause of dancers damage and you need to be on the alert about the flood waters. >> 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. >> try to mitigate the flood hotspots counters krahn crews have put up signs. >> and gates and fences. >> to keep people out and to warn them about these areas getting inundated with water. in the east ay. some residents are worried that a whole bunch of eucalyptus trees in their community might fall over on to their homes. and we're looking at some of these big beautiful, but also dangerous trees. this is madison avenue in sandy street in castro valley. and during one of the recent storms. in fact, a tree did come down on a home and sent one man to 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. so the castro valley residents have asked alameda county. >> to take a look at these trees. but alameda county says basically residents who don't want trees on their property have to consult with tree removal contractor sofas on their property is their problem. basically. >> here's what they're saying. time now is 6.36. james and arborists are also pretty busy right now doing a lot of preventative work on trees while we've got this. >> after the storm. kron four's philippe gaulle gives us a look from all the creek where a tree expert was taking down a troubled tree. >> certified arborist and co-owner of warner trade 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 topple 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 trouble 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, it's 6.37, breaking news this morning. we see marine one pulling up on the tarmac here. this is out of joint base andrews in washington where president biden is inside the helicopter soon-to-be walking up the steps on the air force one and eventually making his way all the way here in california where he has announced he will be assessing some of the damage left in the wake of all those storms that we've seen over the past few weeks, we know is traveling to the central part of the state first and then. >> eventually heading here to the bay area as well. yeah, because storms that we've had statewide have killed dozens of people and so cause so much damage that california, the governor and local agencies here in the bay area have all asked for help. so as is the custom of the president wanted to big disaster will come out, survey the damage and give the ok to get to get us to help that we need the federal

support. and that's important. yeah. they've already declared disaster areas for a number of counties across the state the president. we don't know his exact itinerary, but it's been. >> stated that he does plan to visit with first responders, state, local officials as well and really just to give a get a firsthand look with his own eyes, the type of flood damage, the type of just storm and wind damage that whole state is dealing with right now. we've got a massive sinkhole. think what we're doing with the bay all day mudslides hitting the train on the tracks and passengers involved in that that we got. >> trees coming down in our homes. we've got to land giving way the number the boulders that fell on people's cars or i mean on and to you write that, you know, we did. we just did stories about hillsides sliding down a bit, putting homes in danger. and there you see they opened up the stairwell. >> from marine one and a minute, we'll see some of the presidential aides come out and eventually the president himself, he'll be greeted usually an air force colonel who pilots air force one and

they'll walk together towards the stairwell. but the stairway that will take them up to the plane itself. we've been following this live all morning with will tran is following kind of the schedule of what's going to happen without him off the field. yeah, which is where they'll be received. and again, the trip for the president much quicker, you know, hinkel cross country. >> quite quickly. so he'll be here and in the bay area, probably by this afternoon. yeah. now we should. and there's the president now coming the helicopter. we should mention that with all of the damage and destruction that the storms brought, they did bring as we know, a lot of rain, which was beneficial. >> in terms of our reservoirs which have been running extremely low for the past few years. and so we know the water levels have gone up. so that's one benefit. the huge flip side, a huge push aside. and dawn this morning showed us the new drought monitor map which shows that the vast majority of the state now is a much better off than it was just 3 weeks ago, 4 weeks ago and all this rain started. so clearly it's a double edge sword. yeah, that have come through that if there is some benefit, but obviously it did

bring a lot of destruction. all we need water. we got water. we just didn't want it all at once. but, you know, beggars can't be choosers like we had to have large. think about all the rationing and everything else. that was another emergency situation we've been dealing with for years. and here the president is now going up 2 on his plane and be here in a few we'll expect him once he gets to the top to turn, give away the cameras. and once he does that, then we'll we'll break away and go continue on with our news coverage. but there is and there's the salute and there's the way and now he's boarding air force one. so probably about what, 4 5 hours or so to travel across the country by the time. >> by this afternoon will expect him to arrive at so where the bay or someone, california, then eventually a bay area today will keep you updated. >> time now 6.41 other news that we're following this morning. nearly 2 dozen cars were broken into in san francisco's cow. how neighborhood this week. here's some video from filbert street on monday morning where residents woke up and discovered their windows have been smashed and stuff taken.

of course, later on this season. we love to see some more rainfall tempered, maybe a little compared to what we had earlier this month. but at this point, we do need to break allowing this rain. all that moisture to soak into the ground, a return to the water table a bit and then we can add in some new stuff from that point forward. coastal flood advisories in effect. this is mostly due to king tides, which will be peaking over the next several days. watch for some standing water, low lying roads, especially right up next to the bay shore. in addition to this, it's cold. we saw cold front swing through with last night's rainfall. this is really going to drop temperatures tonight leading into tomorrow morning, inland north and east bay, as well as the santa clara valley under freeze warning starting tonight at midnight through 09:00am tomorrow. now today's daytime highs are going to be mild at sweaters, light jacket, kind of weather, umbrellas, rain jackets. you can get rid of him for at least a moment as we aren't seeing anything in the forecast that you'll need them for as it's just sunshine all the way through this one. daytime highs consistently in
