gather indoors to reduce risk is really the message that we want to get out. >> reporter: republicans took the opportunity to point out the governor's hypocrisy, including california rnc committee woman and civil rights attorney marmeet -- oh, but no thanksgiving for you. by phone she told abc 7 news the governor's decision was poor judgment and a slap in the face to californians who are suffering. melanie woodrow, abc 7 news. and california, oregon and washington issued a joint travel advisory urging residents to avoid traveling out of state for the holidays. those who do are being asked to quarantine when they return. the governors of oregon and new mexico have ordered near lockdowns to try to stem the surge of new cases in their states. and nevada governor steve sisolak says he tested positive for covid-19. he says he isn't experiencing

if congress provides additional coronavirus relief to transit and other businesses that are hurting, then we could bring people back. >> the district says bus ridership is off 75%, ferry ridership is down 96%. and the pandemic is really changing the way people collect, distribute and donate this holiday season as well, just as more families are in need. agencies around the bay area are now relying on a virtual approach. abc 7 news reporter amanda del castillo shows us the power to help is in the palm of our hands. >> reporter: keeping the holidays happy, a task made more challenging for charitable organizations around the bay area, because of the pandemic. >> i did this last year, and it was a completely different -- world, if you can put it that way, right. >> reporter: this staff sergeant with marine toys for to thes in san jose says by this time they usually have up to 40 event requests, this year, seven, typically more than 370 drop sites, this year 73 with

been for the generous support of our community and so we thank them wholeheartedly. >> reporter: if you look around for the true spirit of thanksgiving you just might find it here? santa rosa, cornell barnard, abc 7 news. you can give where you live and make a difference this season, go to abc7news.com and you'll find a donation link right there on the home page. all right, lisa, we were just talking about this rain yesterday, and it's going to last a couple more days, it sounds like, tuesday. >> yes, it's coming back, into tuesday, but, yeah, the north bay picked up anywhere from a third to three quarters of an inch elsewhere, anywhere from a tenth of an inch in san francisco to lesser amounts inland valleys, decent for some of us, we're drying out and warming up for the weekend, and then it does return as we get into tuesday, lingering, perhaps, into wednesday. here's a look at live doppler 7, and we have a little bit of what you would call some fog, light

winds out there, a little bit of an east wind and low level moisture allowing for the low clouds, the dense fog advisory this morning. but as we widen out, this is what is going to be in the future, which is high pressure building in and that will allow for plenty of sunshine today into your sunday and even a warming trend. as we look a little closer it's cool in spots. here's a look at san jose, 46 for you here as well as santa clara, 44 in saratoga, we do have some 30s, though, up in the north bay, pretty cold start for you in novato, 50 in the city as well as alameda. a check on the current fog conditions where we have less than a mile, up in novato, quarter of a mile here, 2 1/2 in napa, a mile visibility in santa rosa. it's out there and dense in spots. it's going to be with us right on through about 9:00, even beyond in some areas. so do be careful out there, after that we are looking at a pretty pleasant weekend but we do need more rain, we're going to bring on another system come

tuesday. dense fog, a warming trend, in fact, we'll see some 70s arrive tomorrow and looking at rain returning, we're going to plot that out for you, as we look right now for the rest of the day today it's clear, sunshine, maybe even a few cumulus clouds developing over the higher elevations, also other parts of the area. you'll see partly cloudy skies in the afternoon at times. otherwise, it's tomorrow, we're looking at a system to the north that will stay to the north, but it will allow maybe perhaps for a sprinkle up in sonoma county, higher clouds in the north bay while the rest of us will see milder temperatures for your sunday. we're going to pick this up on tuesday, tuesday morning here's our next system, it's a little stronger than this last one we had so we're looking at perhaps an inch of rain in the north bay. it takes through the day, for this system to push to the south bay, and then looking at mountain snow but also could linger into your wednesday. so that's the next system we have to look forward to and it should bring promising amounts to the north bay. highs today, in the south bay,

looking at about 63 in san jose, 62 in millpides. in the north bay, 63 if calistoga, low 60s in fremont. san ramon and antioch about 62. fog to start out and maybe a sprinkle in the north bay tomorrow and milder temperatures through monday. rain returns on tuesday, lingering into wednesday, liz, so we do like to see this. but a little stronger would be nice. it's not quite giving everyone an even amount, which is unfortunate because we need it. >> we really do but we'll take what we can get. >> yeah. >> lisa, thank you. just ahead, this is what you won't be seeing this year in most stores this holiday season.

but there is also a system to the north that could visit some of us tomorrow afternoon, 47 in santa clara, 42 in mountain view, good morning to you, 50 in san francisco. 30s in novato this morning and the fog. it's most dense in the north bay but you see it here in the east bay with three or four mile visibility from concord to livermore, over a mile in napa, nothing in novato and just a mile in santa rosa. a live look outside where it looks pretty good here in the city at 50 degrees but our dense fog advisory for parts of the bay area, from the south bay to the east bay to the north bay until 9:00. and then our warming trend, with temperatures in the low 60s. doesn't sound too warm but yesterday it was chilly and breezy so we're going to bring the numbers up today. then again tomorrow. but the rain returns for all of us on tuesday. so plenty of sunshine on the way. a few cumulus clouds throughout the afternoon. otherwise, it's this next system arriving tomorrow in the north bay that will allow for some high clouds and then maybe even

a few sprinkles up towards, say, sonoma county but otherwise it's a milder afternoon, and even into monday. temperatures will be in the 70s for the warmest locations, this is tuesday, tuesday morning, where the next system will move into the north bay early and the focus of the rain will be in the north bay. but it's a quick mover, light to moderate system through the day on tuesday into wednesday, some sierra snow and then we dry out after that. preliminary estimates look aggressive in the north bay, half inch to an inch in santa rosa, novato, maybe a half inch in fremont and lesser amounts into our inland valleys. that's definitely some good news, whereas today we're looking at temperatures from the cool side at the coast, half moon bay to san francisco mid and upper 50s, to low 60s for most of you, with a lot of sunshine in oakland, and san jose, 64 in santa rosa, with concord in the mid-60s. tonight, we've got partly cloudy skies, but remember that system to the north could visit us in

the north bay in the afternoon tomorrow for more clouds and maybe a sprinkle. the accuweather seven-day forecast, we've got the fog, and then sunny skies today, maybe a few sprinkles north tomorrow, the warming trend continues on monday, a level one system monday and tuesday, anywhere from about a quarter of an inch to an inch, perhaps, with this system and then looking brighter and slightly milder towards the end of the week. liz? >> all right, lisa, thank you. a vallejo artist and coffee roaster is celebrating the historic moment of vice president-elect kamala harris by creating a coffee brew for her. 12 years ago the roaster brewed an obama blend to commemorate our first black president. our journalist melissa pickscarr visited the roastry. >> reporter: good morning, i came to get the blend the kamala harris. >> there you go. >> it's a small, family-owned
