to warm up. and that's where we have the 30s and our freeze warning just about to expire. another hour or so. so satellite and radar composite shows the clouds and the rain and the jet stream well up into the pacific northwest where it has been parked, it seems, for weeks. we are left with blue sky high pressure building in from the south. and looking at those upper 40s here in san francisco, beautiful view, 40 in oakland, 45 in hayward with 44. san mateo and half moon bay, 52 degrees. that sounds pretty nice, doesn't it? well you were in the upper 30s yesterday and we have plenty of low 30s still in our north bay valley. so petaluma not budging from that 30. you were 28 at about 8:00. freeze ing in santa rosa, just 34 here in napa. so it has been awfully cold there. but you head out to fairfield and it's still cold at 35. livermore recovered at 44 while concord still awfully chilly at 37. so that freeze warning with us not only for the next about an hour hour and a

half but also into your sunday night into monday morning for the north bay valleys. again, sunday afternoon, we have a few more high clouds and then temperatures will begin to modify as we get into next week with more widespread mid 60s around. and that's going to help our overnight lows drop a little bit further away from those 30s. so there's a look at today you'll notice that we are sunnyy sunday. a system moves to the north of us. it's going to stay there and we'll just be left with some clouds. and then into monday looking at more bright conditions throughout the afternoon. and that's when we'll really begin to feel our warm up. so definitely wanting the rain. we are only 39% of normal for the sierra nevada statewide. we had some snow on thursday. we need more rain and we still are looking at about that 18 19th of december where things are going to turn wet around here. and we'll see hopefully over an inch of rain this could last for a

little while. so we are hoping for that. but as for the week ahead, the weekend, we're dry and chilly today to start out and then by the afternoon, we're pretty mild. look at the south bay san jose in the 60s and we'll see some low 60s by about 3:00. and then, you know, that sun sets at 450. so look for the temperatures to drop through the 50s quickly and then overnight lows freezing by the delta just around that in the north bay valleys again, thus the freeze warning for another day. and then palo alto in the upper 30s, that's chilly. the accuweather seven day forecast. so we'll see slightly cloudier day on sunday and the mild sunny days will follow into the next week with no rain. we'll you ping and pong that body. you plunge that body. you green that body. you brain power that body. you practice... and practice that body.

there. the annual unhoused health fair provides more than services for our communities most vulnerable. >> it offers the boost many need to push forward. it could change your whole life. >> you know, i remember feeding somebody a hot meal. that can change your whole life. it can make you feel more confident, more positive, and give you the encouragement you 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 cortez 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 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. 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 dorsey, abc7 news.

>> well, now let's get a check of that forecast. lisa is a heating up outside yet? well, i wouldn't say it's heating up, but 47in the city and 48 at the airport is pretty mild compared to 30 in the north bay. >> but what a beautiful shot here from our exploratorium camera near 60 today. downtown, some mid 60s in the south bay. we'll talk about when we see some warmer weather coming but as you get older, it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall. thankfully, the breakthrough in prevagen helps your brain and actually improves memory. the secret is an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve memory. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

the line. hany is moving up to 140 pounds to fight wbc super lightweight champion regis pro gray. the first undercard fight starts at 5:00 today and on the court it is a same problem over and over again for the warriors. turnovers are turning out to be terrible for the team this season. abc seven sports director larry beil has your

morning sports. >> good morning. 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 he 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 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 didn't have and shay closes it out from there. 138 136 thunder in overtime coming off their biggest win of the year in philly. the 49 ers cannot afford a letdown against the desperate seahawks. niners beat the seahawks on thanksgiving night. on sunday, the hawks coming to levi's stadium, potentially your classic letdown scenario for the niners. >> there's a lot of things that worked really well for us. there's some things that didn't work well for us. so it's just kind of a cat and mouse game of what are they going to change? what are we going to change? who's going to change anything at all? we look at the tape the same as if we hadn't played them at all. >> and, you know, obviously you're going to look at some stuff that they did last game, some stuff that we did last game and make adjustments when needed. but each week you've got to bring it. >> comedian will ferrell, big seahawks fan. he appeared on kaye adams fanduel show and was asked what he would do if he was seattle coach pete carroll. >> i'd say, guys, we're going to punt on third down every series. we are not going to control the ball. let's not worry about it.

i don't know what you do about the 49 ers right. 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 right. thank you, larry. now, let's get a check of that bay area forecast with meteorologist lisa originally to another chilly morning today. yeah that's right. >> third night of hanukkah. sun setting at 450. and boy, the numbers really drop off after the sun sets. but it's beautiful out there right now with temperatures recovering the jet stream, the storm track still in the pacific northwest. it's going to stay there for quite a while. and we are looking at a nice sunny start to your weekend, 47 downtown. it's 40 in oakland, 45. hayward 43. in san jose, 47, san mateo and 54 half moon bay. so really, that's not too hard to take. but our north bay valleys and our east bay valleys have been dropping earlier into the 30s. even upper

20s in petaluma right now at freezing petaluma and santa rosa 34 in napa. so another hour or so you'll still be in the 30s, but climbing out of there slowly while we're in the upper 30s in concord. livermore is at 44 degrees and our forecast highlights. then the freezing temperatures in the valleys for another hour or so. and then we have another freeze warning tonight for the same spots and then for your sunday, not quite as sunny. a few more high clouds as a weather system gets a little bit closer to northern california. we're staying dry, though, for the weekend and beyond. in fact, temperatures will get even milder into the 60s and mid 60s for many of us around the bay. this is your saturday where we're looking at partly cloudy to mostly sunny conditions. and then as we transfer into your sunday, there's that system that's bringing in the high and mid level clouds but it washes out and then into monday, we're looking at partly cloudy conditions. and this is when we begin our a bit of a warm up. but you know, you get any wind

in there at all and it's a cool northwesterly wind or north wind. so we'll have that to contend with as well. but for the south bay, mildest region today with some mid 60s in san jose, look at gilroy at 64 on the peninsula. it's cool but temperatures will climb through the upper 50s to about 60 in san mateo with a few high clouds. a nice day today. downtown in 3:00 . 60 degrees in the north bay. hard to believe the recovery into the low 60s from the 30s this morning. but you know, it's only about an hour or so. and then we begin to see the temperatures drop off into the 50s, 60s, san leandro, about 3:00, 61 in hercules. so temperatures fairly uniform from upper 50s to about 60 here in our inland valley. so the cooles numbers in the inland valleys for your winter time are this time of year, i should say overnight tonight, another freeze warning where these numbers drop off into the 30s. so cold not only in the north bay valleys, our east bay valleys, the peninsula could see a few upper 30s with temperatures in the 40s in san

francisco. but after that we begin to see the milder nights, the warmer afternoons in the mid 60s ends by monday and then we'll keep that forecast pretty much into tuesday. north winds will keep us mild upper 60s by wednesday, still partly cloudy by the end of the week. it's very mild for december and we're staying dry then at least for the next seven days. gloria, it looks like a nice week. >> thank you, lisa. tonight is the third night of hanukkah, the jewish festival celebrating the triumph of light over darkness. and this year, amid the israel-hamas war, the holiday is even more meaningful than ever. abc news reporter ines de la cuetara is in jerusalem. the lighting of a candle marking the start of hanukkah just two months after one of the darkest days in israel's history. >> in kibbutz be'eri, at least 89 of its residents were killed and at least 27 are still being held hostage. i'm a survivors still living in temporary

housing, coming together to mark the eight day jewish festival. >> yesterday, my son come over and show me mom. i found it this hanukkah, that special candle holder. >> one of the few things she was able to salvage from what's left of her home. >> it's a part of my life. i have almost nothing. i went out with my underwear and nothing barefoot, and i have nothing. and i got it yesterday. it just unbelievable. >> at the wailing wall in jerusalem, the holiest site in judaism, groups locking arms, singing and praying as they show a 138 candles were lit in tel aviv, one for each of the remaining hostages. the festival of lights celebrated from kiev to berlin. all the way to the space station. happy hanukkah in the us menorah is lit from new

york to washington, even as some events were scaled back or altogether canceled amid the rise in anti-semitism. >> i think this is one of the main things of hanukkah unites everybody. >> elad kadare's two parents were murdered by hamas. his father used to build the kibbutz's menorahs and he'd be pleased. he says, to see the kibbutz beginning to pick up the pieces that was abc's ines de la cuetara you ping and pong that body. you plunge that body. you green that body. you brain power that body. you practice... and practice that body. you make it rain that body. you flu shot that body. and now, you spikevax that body... because even though the pandemic is over, covid-19 isn't.
