Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:28:23 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- New Year's Eve is just days away. As a weather system batters the Northern California coast with dangerous waves, flood advisories, and approaching rain, the question many people are asking is will the weather be clear enough on Sunday to see the NYE fireworks over the Bay? Where to watch SF’s New Year’s Eve fireworks With one weather system moving out and another set to move in, it's unclear whether conditions will be clear enough to view the fireworks Sunday."The good news is that it looks like our storm system Friday into Saturday will clear us in time for New Year's Eve," said KRON4 Meteorologist Kyla Grogan. "The bad news is that a second system that will ultimately head south of us will usher in some clouds on Sunday as it passes us by offshore."

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:28:23 GMT

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons are well aware of the situation they face with two games remaining and their postseason hopes hanging by a thread.They simply have little room for error heading into their matchup against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.“Unless you’re living in Perth, Australia, or something and you turn your cell phone off, I think you’re aware of it,” coach Arthur Smith said. “It’s just, the reality is nothing matters. When you start to get caught up, it’s just a waste of time. … Nothing matters but Chicago. … Good or bad, you’re just taking energy away from preparing for Sunday. … “If you go out there and you don’t play well in Chicago, then nothing else matters.”The Falcons (7-8) beat Indianapolis 29-10 last week with their best offensive performance this season.

Raiders and Colts face a familiar scenario with 2 games left and a high-stakes AFC game on tap

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:28:23 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jonathan Taylor still laments the lessons learned during Las Vegas’ last trip to Indianapolis in 2021.He played well in that Week 17 contest, rushing for 108 yards and a touchdown, but the Colts failed to clinch a playoff spot on their home field and a week later they were homeward bound for the offseason. The Raiders used that surprise last-second victory to steal a playoff spot.So this week, facing an eerily similar situation, the 2021 NFL rushing champion finds himself giving teammates a short, simple reminder: Take care of business Sunday.“It does (help) because you failed in a sense, so you had the opportunity to learn and especially, with the younger guys, you’re able to teach them or give them a little bit of knowledge that you have from your experience,” Taylor said. “Hopefully, they can take that into consideration, thought, and really put forth the effort, knowing we need to be all gas on the pedal this week.”Indy (8-7) again enters th...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:28:23 GMT

(CNN) —  A partir del 1 de enero, un medicamento que ayuda a respirar a miles de pacientes desaparecerá de las farmacias, y a los médicos les preocupa que los pacientes puedan tener problemas para cambiar a otras alternativas y conseguir que el seguro las cubra.El fabricante GSK anunció que dejará de comercializar el inhalador Flovent para el asma y que, en su lugar, fabricará una versión “genérica autorizada”, idéntica pero sin la misma marca.Los médicos que tratan a pacientes con asma afirman que el genérico autorizado funcionará igual de bien que el medicamento de marca, pero no parece tener la misma cobertura por parte de las aseguradoras. Eso puede significar que los pacientes tendrán que obtener nuevas recetas y sortear obstáculos de cobertura en plena temporada de virus respiratorios.“Este medicamento ha sido el fármaco inhalado más utilizado en los últimos 25 o 30 años”, afirma la Dra. Robyn Cohen, neumóloga pediátrica del Boston Medical Center....
