some light rain for the sierra, that is about it across much of the region. as we go into the afternoon, the sunshine returns, our temperatures reached to the upper 60s and low 70s. we look for a high of 73 degrees, that's okay first-time martin, and also, upper 60s across much of the east bay. we will look at our thanksgiving and beyond forecast. cynthia, you are tracking something or vallejo? >> yes you are, right when you get to the american canyon on the road off ramp, a couple of lanes blocked, what was interesting to see on this, they were hoping a couple of lanes, to have time for a helicopter to land. sounds like a complicated situation there, overall, the traffic centers are still showing that yellow, still relatively calm. another complex situation that caught my situation was 580 west barnet the isabelle avenue off-ramp. a car went into a creek. they were a couple of people involved, two of them were children. we will keep an eye on this, still causing a bit of a hazard there near the isabelle avenue off ramp. right behind that, steer --

still near the pass avenue area, we have this in the east bound direction, 580 at grant line. there was an ambulance called, a couple of cars got into this, it is a little bit of a complex situation. just some details to figure out on the log this morning, otherwise, traffic looks great, traffic still -- hoping it stays this way during this thanksgiving morning, back to you, jim. >> drive safely out there. there's a way of offset the guild fattening itself up the turkey stuffing and mashed potatoes, you can join thousands of people, running a turkey trot throughout the bay area this morning. the largest is in downtown san jose, that's where we find bob riddell. bob, too late to register for this or can people still join? >> from what i see in the line, you can still register. happy thanksgiving to you, scott and kyra. the silicon valley turkey trot is taking registrations into nine a.m., which is actually 30 minutes after start time, it starts at 8:30 a.m. here, in downtown san jose, and santa

clara. from what i saw online, you can still register. they are not quite yet sold out, it seems to be approaching that. silicon valley leadership group which started this race 19 years ago with just a couple of thousands of runners, if my memory serves me correctly, they are expecting close to 20,000 runners this year, making this one of the largest turkey trot in the country. over the years, the race has raised over $11 million for charity, collected over 250,000 pounds of food. this year's event will help health trust, the healthier kids foundation and second harvest food bank. the leadership group ceo points out even though silicon valley embodies success, there are a lot of people in need in our area, this event is about community and giving back. >> what i think is so special right now, is that we have come through covid, the opportunity to get together, to be in community, to get out there, bring your family, i think that has taken on a new meaning

these past couple of years. i think that community spirit is what is most special about this event. also, when we talk about corporate citizenship, our leaders, ceos, companies in silicon valley giving back. this is one of those concrete ways that we come out for community, and support those most in need. >> now, the silicon valley turkey trot has a five k, a ten k and a kids fun run, someone didn't tell my daughters, the kids find run is supposed to be fun. this is her, back in 2012. she was nine years old, in tears, because she exhausted herself to only take second place. again, it was enough, it is her, she is still competitive to this day. the silicon valley turkey trot is not the only turkey trot in the area this morning. there is one in venetia at 7:30 a.m., concord, novato, saint -- wine country, san francisco, they have theirs at 8 am and of course, oakland at 8:30 a.m..

and then the one behind me here, downtown san jose, also it 30. reporting live in downtown san jose, bob riddell, today in the bay. >> your poor daughter, being publicly shamed! at nine years old! >> that is so hard as a parent, right, bob? >> it is payback. >> yes it is. second place is great. so i can get a be, not an a? no, that is not what i mean. [laughter] all right, bob, thank you. >> thanks so much, bob. happening now, a live look inside glide memorial church in san francisco. the food is being set out to be prepared and cooked, to feed thousands of people. >> this is an annual tradition, the first time it's been indoors since 2019. glide say they are planning to feed more than 2000 people today. our -- is live with that report in about 30 minutes. >> and the bulletins bans are back as well. the macy's thanksgiving day parade kicking off later this morning, 97 years and it is

right in the nbc bay area. >> the san jose great joins us live from new york city to see what we can expect, this is my favorite part of thanksgiving. not the parade, jay gray. hello, good morning! >> you have got to aim high or my friend, kira. good morning scott and kira, a beautiful morning here in new york. it will be a great parade. the 97th annual macy's day parade, i covered 95 of them, i don't remember the weather being this good at any of them. you can't have a parade without floats. let's look down the way here, you can see floats lined up, ready to roll out here. 26 floats this year, including two new floats -- the ninja turtles, who does not love a ninja turtle? and the second new flowed will feature willy wonka, but the stars of the show, every year, those giant character balloons that float through manhattan. snoopy got a make over this year, calling him the beagle

scout this year. you see that they have got woodstock, the little carry on top of that. 16 character balloons will float through manhattan today. 32 of the smaller novelty or heritage balloons will be part of the parade. 12 marching bands -- so cool to see -- a lot of the kids come through here on the big stage for the first time and enjoy their time here. and then, 700 clowns will be part of this. i don't think they were counting me and the crew, so more than 700 clowns will be a part of the parade this year. three and a half million people expected to line the parade route. i walked to work this morning, about three in the morning, there were already families camped out getting the best spots along the parade route. should be a great day, i hope that scott and kira, when you are done with the show, rush home, throw on fuzzy socks, get a snuggie, and watch the parade, eat a little, take a nap, eat

again. you can see how my day will unfold. i hope you have a great thanksgiving, and watch the parade.

investigation. >> they just finished their scene, swab in for explosives. they tell me there was no evidence, no evidence of chemicals or substances used by terrorists to create an explosion. this is another sign that confirms that this is not terrorist related. >> the niagara frontier transportation authorities say they have increased security systemwide. >> sam altman is still ceo of openai for a second the day. he was re-hired by the chatgpt major, late tuesday evening. the board that pushed him out is gone. the move follows several days of turmoil, it started friday. we never did find out specifically why they saw fit to fire him. altman was fired friday, backlash followed late sunday, altman had been scooped up by microsoft, as one of a.i.'s biggest investors, microsoft is -- and by the time tuesday rolled around, he was back at openai.

and their board has been reconfigured. >> deangelo is the only previous member of the board who will stay, he will be joined by brett taylor, former ceo of salesforce, larry summers, former treasury secretary for the clinton administration, possible someone from microsoft, i would expect that, or another major investor might join the board as well. >> 5:10. right now, we will take a live look in san jose. christmas in the park. all dark right now, chilly out there. let's see what we can expect on this thanksgiving day, with meteorologist kari hall. 9 am, it never takes a day off? >> i will eventually take one during the holidays but yes, it is a great morning. and, why not? the weather is nice and quiet. we will see our temperatures in the 40s after getting started, and that dark picture of downtown san jose, we will see the tree lit up, starting tomorrow day. today is the turkey trot, we

talked about that. as the runners get to the starting line, it will be in the low 50s, a chilly morning. then, going throughout the morning, our temperatures make it to the low 60s. and then, as we are getting ready for dinner, our temperatures will head for the 70s. so, a really nice day. as we get a look at some temperatures around the east bay, oakland will be in the upper 60s, hayward, 68 degrees. san ramon headed for 69. -- conquered in the low 70s, i don't know if it gets any better than that. we will look ahead to the weekend, when our temperatures will drop. that is coming up in a few minutes. and cynthia, we were hoping the gas prices would drop as well? >> the holiday rush is definitely here, carrie. we are trying to move the bay area forward and finding those cheap gas prices this morning. this is all thanks to people who report on gas buddy.com. we will start in the south they with $3.99 at the costco in santa clara, on coleman avenue. i am sure that it has been a busy spot this holiday weekend. we will go over to get you another check of $4.05 in the east bay, where you will find

this on bolero, on his avenue in hayward. we will end it off in the north bay, $4.43 in the argo, off of 101, if you're going into san francisco. now from the gas pump to the roadways, this thanksgiving morning, let's see what is going on. the sensor is still showing very green, like the green beans you might be enjoying later on this afternoon. but, we do have to talk about an update from the north bay. american canyon, at the american canyon off ramp, those lanes that were blocked because of the helicopter landing i was telling you about, that was expected. now, they are expecting to open up a couple more lanes in the next 15 minutes or so. we will swing on in, still stay in the north bay, everything is in the green centers looking good, back to you, jim. >> thanks, looking good. >> coming up, -- officially started the battle, we will tell you which resorts are open if you would like to hit the slopes. >> if a flight is in your holiday travel plans, we have a one minute coaching session to help you steer clear of some

for you, like say, a cancel flight, consumer investigator chris chmura wants you to be prepared. >> good morning. just a quick coaching session here. if your travel plans go sideways, with a flight delay or cancellation, your smartphone is your secret weapon. airlines credit where credit is due as called the not better, when notifying passengers about those delays and cancellations. so, turn on the notifications. second, if there is a flight delay or cancellation, you might be able to re-book yourself using the airline app, or its website. you want to do that as quickly as possible. remember, when your flight is delayed, 400 or so other people on that flight? they are your competition to get what other seats are left over on the next flight, which is hopefully on time. one last bit. if you are checking a bag, may i politely recommend you put a wi-fi tracker, like an apple airtag in that bag, just in case the airline loses track of your bag, maybe you could help them find it. safe travels, happy thanksgiving. >> to you as well, chris.
