standard deduction will mean many people will not see a line that they can take a tax deduction for their charitable giving. there will be a lack of incentive, a lack of reward, a difference they didn't see this year. we're concerned people will elect not to give next year. >> organizers at the food bank say they've also worried about cuts to safety net programs being proposed by republicans. they say cutbacks in programs like social security or food stamps would put even more pressure on charities to help feed lower income families. did i fall -- did you fall victim to russian propaganda during the election? facebook has a new page in the help center that lets you see if you liked or followed pages that have links to the internet research agency, the russian company known for spreading misinformation during the 2016 presidential election.

ay, poppy! 56 yards. dorian brown is going to go 74 yards. the two defenders take each other out for uab. i could have run it down the sidelines from there. then pull up with a strained hammy. anyway, brown had four td's. ohio in the bahamas bowl, 41-6. i covered jed tedford for a decade, i never saw these moves, ted getting set to coach fresno state against houston on christmas eve. the coach shaking those hips at the luau. coach! shake it, don't break it, baby. i hope he'll be okay on the sidelines. that's a wrap for morning sports. have a great weekend. and a merry christmas. i'm larry beil. good saturday morning to you. so it certainly has been cold and dry. we're going to add some changes

for the next couple of days. subtle changes to make it feel a little bit more like what it should be around here, with higher dew points, slightly higher temperatures. but yes, we want rain, right? that's not going to happen. because of that we have a spare the air alert today and tomorrow, because the air quality certainly is less than ideal, with the area of high pressure pushing down on the atmosphere. we have poor air quality. today in the north bay, once again, coast and central bay and the inland east bay, so no wood burning through christmas eve, unfortunately, because we aren't getting any significant wind in here. and when we do, it looks like into monday, christmas day, things should be a little better. a live look outside from mt. tam, you can see the beginning of the sunrise, where you see that cloud cover. as a result, that will keep temperatures down a little bit today. and as well, with the high cloud cover, we're going to see the overnight lows come out. so not only today, but tomorrow,

and even into christmas. if you've had enough of those 20s and subfreezing temperatures, scraping your car, we'll get a break from that. the high clouds and mid-level clouds staying around for the afternoon. pretty looking view with the glassy looking bay this morning. so looking at temperatures like this. low 40s for mountain view, 35 in gil gilroy. certainly cold there with san francisco coming in with a chilly 46. sfo, no delays yet, but the eastern seaboard could see them with snow from new england perhaps through virginia, some icy conditions. 36 in santa rosa, 39 novato, 34 by the delta. we have fog from santa rosa, livermore and fairfield. about five to five mile visibility. and 37 in the livermore valley. so nice vantage point here, where you can see the beginning of daylight and the high clouds streaming in overhead. not as cold, still frosty in some of the colder valleys, though. a milder pattern for the holiday

weekend. we'll get those dew points up a little bit. and so it shouldn't be as dry. and looking at a dry pattern through the end of the year. so that's not boding well for our snowpack or the rain. but we are looking at the clouds throughout the day today. your hour by hour forecast won't be thick. they'll be high and thin. and so we'll get a little bit of sunshine. by early tomorrow morning, we still have the cloud cover. that's why we'll be a little bit milder and the rain line stays well to the north. here is the snow in the mountains. 25 for overnight lows, both tonight and tomorrow, highs around 50 with the clouds right on through christmas day. and back home, we're looking at mid-50s san francisco, 56. look for 61 down in santa cruz. upper 50s for concord, antioch and fremont. lows tonight, cold but we won't get into the 20s, the cloud cover keeping us in the 30s and 40s. the accuweather seven-day forecast, warmer mornings, slightly cooler afternoons, really through tomorrow. and looking at temperatures on

christmas day slightly milder. that means the dew points are up, the air not quite as dry. you should notice a change. but we are looking at numbers in the 60s with more sun through the week. so yes, it's going to be dry. >> looking ahead to better air quality. >> certainly. >> lisa, thank you. this family lost their home in the north bay wildfires. but earlier this week, they won a contest for a brand-new tiny house. abc 7 news reporter cornell barnard tells us the new pad is this family's dream come true.
