need to have hope. >> a hot meal is hard to come by, and it's one of the more than 40 services provided at the fair from dental and health screenings, checkups for pets and even mobile showers and haircuts. i looked like a dog gone shaggy dog before i got for my haircut. >> now i look presentable. >> ernest chavez also received a new, fresh look. it was his first haircut this year. what is it going to feel like to have a nice fresh haircut? >> it's going to feel clean. it keeps me going from one day to another. it's all positive. it's all good for the people. confidence and what have you. >> the event is a partnership between many local groups who offer these free services, and state senator dave cortez's office. with nearly 10,000 people experiencing homelessness in santa clara county. senator cortez says it was important to provide these services to the people who need it a tremendous amount of outreach was done to make sure that the homeless, the unhoused, knew about this and had access and can get here. >> in some cases, people are
5:42 am
being shuttled down here. so we're very appreciative of everything that's going on. >> advocates are also appreciative of the work being done to help the unhoused. but robert aguirre says he wants to see local leaders put more of an emphasis on long term solutions instead of just providing day of quick fixes like at the event. >> i think what needs to happen is we need to put in more information on long term fixes is we need to talk about permanent supportive housing. we need to talk about mental health care, actually provide services in the hopes that no one has to live unhoused in our community in san jose, dustin dawsey, abc7 news. >> well now let's get a preview of your saturday forecast with lisa. good morning, lisa. >> hi gloria. check it out. looking back across oakland there where temperatures are already in the low to mid mid 30s. 36 in oakland, 38 in livermore. so our inland valleys are colder this morning and we're already freezing in our north bay valleys. i'll tell you

>> last time the warriors played okc, the dubs chose not to foul in the final seconds. that allowed chet holmgren to hit a three to send the game to overtime and the thunder eventually won. last night, warriors they did foul late and they still lose in ot warriors committing a season high 29 turnovers leading to 35 oklahoma city points most turnovers by the dubs since 2002. steve kerr was not happy with that at all. the dubs built a 14 point lead but couldn't hold it, despite 22 points from klay thompson, shay gilgeous alexander unstoppable 38 points, driving with just over a minute left okc up one steph curry who almost won the game by himself under a minute left sweet reverse layup and then with 19 seconds left curry the classic step back three splash dash so they're up three. curry goes for 34 eight seconds left this time we're just going to foul they're going to foul draymond green. he fouls chet holmgren in the act of shooting got to get him before that three free throws send the game to ot and steve kerr wasted a challenge that he ended up needing in overtime and he

right. but what do you do? i mean, they're they're loaded. they're loaded. hang on. for dear life. that's my. that's my. that's my. hang on. for dear life. >> it looks like we'll just roll out of bed for the interview. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend, everybody. i'm larry beil. >> all larry, thank you. now let's get a check of the bay area forecast with meteorologist lisa argen. and lisa, i know we've been talking about how chilly it is this morning. is it going to warm up a lot today? yeah, you know, yesterday by the afternoon it felt pretty good. >> same as today. we'll have more high clouds. couple more 60 degree readings away from our inland valleys. but you can see some of the high clouds there. the rain once again up in the pacific northwest. and current temperatures are pretty chilly. 35 in gilroy. it's 40 in hayward right now with upper 30s in oakland, 36 in concord, livermore is at 38. and then as we head into the north bay, even colder at 34 degrees. santa rosa novato is at 30. and check out that 34 in napa. so a lot like yesterday maybe a few degrees
5:49 am
cooler for some of you, but we'll look for the afternoon to feature a pretty nice day this morning though. the near freezing temperatures in the valleys over the weekend. we have high clouds today, more in the way of high and mid level clouds for your sunday and we will have another cold morning. but as for the next several days into next week, we're not looking at any rain, but we are looking at warmer temperatures. so we'll enjoy that while we have it. and then perhaps into next weekend, we could see things really turn around with more rain headed our way. so hour by hour as we go through the morning hours into the afternoon, we have a few high clouds today. but as we get into your sunday afternoon, those clouds thicken up a little bit for mostly cloudy skies. at times and then into your monday, partly cloudy again. so that's about all we can muster in terms of excitement. the temperatures, though, they'll be pretty mild here in the south bay with about 62 in los gatos, 60 in sunnyvale on the peninsula. the upper 50s from pacifica to near 60. in san
5:50 am
mateo, mostly sunny skies for you in palo alto. so good recovery from your upper 30s this morning. 60 down town looking at 60 in daly city and up in the north bay where it is awfully cold freezing cold. temperatures will climb another 30 degrees or so underneath the sunshine and high clouds today, 61 in sonoma. it's going to take all day, though. that's about two, 3:00. and then you know that sun sets by about 450. so as we get into the afternoon in the east bay, newark, 60 degrees, union city, about the same, and heading inland a couple of upper 50s here from walnut creek to san ramon with pittsburg checking in at about 60 degrees overnight tonight. temperatures, not a whole lot of change. we have a freeze watch which essentially will turn into a freeze warning as we get closer to the evening hours. so overnight lows in and around freezing our north bay valleys. 33 santa rosa in our inland valleys in the east bay. we've got mid 30s for you in concord,
5:51 am
upper 30s in palo alto and the accuweather seven day forecast. so we've got the cold frosty mornings, the milder afternoons, a few high clouds today way more so for your sunday. and then as we get into monday tuesday look at those mid and upper 60s right into wednesday around the bay so quite mild and into next friday not looking at any rain yet, but that could change because we're looking at that 18 19th time frame which is coming into agreement looking like we could get some pretty good rain. okay. >> but at least for this weekend, it looks like it's going to be dry. so we can dry for us go out and about and do all the fun holiday events and activities. great great. well, thank you so much, lisa. and remember that you can watch all of our newscasts live and on demand through the abc7 bay area connected tv app. it is available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. so download the app now and start streaming and stay with us. we

flight without a pilot. abc7 news reporter zach fuentes has more on how the technology could shape the future of aviation. >> yeah, we're in flight now. commercial pilot and engineer dan atta-mills passion for aviation runs deep. i grew up next to a small airfield in southern california and i used to watch, you know, the small cessna 172 come in and land. and i thought, you know, why not? when i was picking a career growing up, tamale might not have imagined that she'd be operating a plane in this way. >> but late last month, she was part of history operating this cessna 208 caravan with not one human being on board doing all of her work from this control center in mountain view, 50 miles away from the plane. we operated it out of hollister municipal airport and basically the taxi, the takeoff, the cruise, the landing, all of that was over a scale of about 12 minutes for the uncrewed
5:55 am
portion, reliable robotics is the company behind the autonomous flight system, though they've flown a smaller plane without a pilot on board. in 2019, they say this flight was the first time a cargo plane of this size was operated remotely by a private company. >> a system like ours will go a long way to save lives and prevent accidents. >> the ceo, robert rose, says their technology will improve aviation safety in order to move the pilot out of the plane and into a control center. >> you need to have a more advanced navigation system. you need to be able to automatically land, you need to be able to automatically take off and auto taxi and many accidents on small aircraft today are due to issues during those phases of flight. >> and though rose says he sees the system rolled out more broadly for cargo first, the hope is that it could one day transition to passenger aircraft , something he said could facilitate better travel between smaller airports instead of needing to fly out of san francisco, oakland, san jose. >> we could take a flight out of palo alto or reid-hillview or san carlos with pilots like tom delay's expertise still needed to operate the system, rose said he sees it adding jobs.
5:56 am
>> i think we're going to have factor ten, factor 100 more aircraft as we move into the next decade. >> so i see this as a growth opportunity for aviation. >> the technology still has to be certified by the faa, something rose says they're well on their way to doing in mountain view. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> two cast members from disney's lion king show made a special visit to dr. martin luther king academy in sausalito. a nonprofit called performing stars, helped connect the pair with a school to teach a dance class workshop to students. next week, students will get to see the performance happening at the orpheum theater in san francisco. organizers say students have been excited for these events. >> are having a ball. i mean, they were excited. the principal, david finan, told me how excited they were when they knew that this was going to be happening. but they are. you could tell they they're learning a lot in just a short amount of time, too. and it's right here in the bay area. so it's important that we're able to bring these type of experiences
5:57 am
to our community and students will also be given a chance to meet the cast after the show. >> very cool. no more salmon that is a concern of native alaska. enrico de wild native tribes have been sounding the alarm about the overfishing of alaskan salmon by international companies. they say it is now wiping out the main source of food and cultural touchstone for native alaskans, which also impacts the state's ecosystem. >> the last two summers has been zero fishing for salmon along the yukon. so it's something that we've never experienced in our lifetimes. and that demand that you see for alaskan seafood is what's crippling the river system out here. now that those salmon aren't around, those bears and those wolves are having to go harder at herbivores and calves. it's a terrible domino effect that i see coming in alaska, and it scares me. i wish more people would realize what's going on with this fishing industry out here. it's big money. it becomes like a fish mafia out here.
