weekend, the quakes have to wait until sunday for their playoff game. the mls postseason this year is bracket style like the ncaa tournament. you win or go home. quakes clicking at just the right time, having won six of their last ten matches. >> we love all the support, all the honking, make it super loud. yeah, it really, really puts a big smile on our face when we can hear them and see them. and, you know, we're playing our best for them. hope we can make it as far as we can and keep the dream going. the warriors work to finalize a deal to require -- waiving a fan favorite, one of the bright spots from last season, coming up from the g league, averaging seven points per game. but when they drafted nico man knee, it made bowman expendable. james wiseman, wait a while to see him in an actual game but he shared his first bucket ever

with the dubs, dunking pretty easy, 7'0", and you can't teach that. sacramento kings they open the vault to keep guard de'aaron fox, they gave him the max deal, five years, $163 million. fox averaged a career best 21 points, to go along with seven assists per game last season for sacramento. memphis grizzly star john morant has an animal named for him at the zoo, ja raf, a baby at the memphis zoo, the two met for the first time, this is fantastic. ja raf, he's a guard now, he'll grow to be a center. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend, everybody. i'm larry beil. >> all right, let's get back over to lisa for a check of the weather. sure starting to feel like winter, lisa. >> oh, it is, and if you live up in the north bay, or our east bay valleys, boy, it has been

cold, and this morning another day where we are at the freezing mark in many locations, in fact last check in novato you are down to 28 degrees, but with that dry atmosphere we rebound quickly. so if you're getting out, say, about 9:00 for a dog walk in san francisco, numbers will be chilly, it will be clear, but we're not going to be too bad, in fact, we'll start out at about 10:00 in the upper 40s to i should say mid-50s there, then 57 as we get towards 11:00 and lots of 60s on the way, plenty of sunshine, a few high clouds arriving later on in the day. but we'll call it mostly sunny to partly cloudy out there, and as we look live here in the city of san francisco, looks beautiful, doesn't it, with the buildings here lit up and just looking at a few passing high clouds, but we will start out with plenty of sunshine, the storm track well to the north as high pressure builds on in to the eastern pacific, that's going to push the storm track to the north, and we'll see a few clouds here drift in from the west, but overall, it's all

about the cold air this morning, with temperatures right now at 32 degrees in novato. 42 in oakland, down to half moon bay and the winds are strong out of the north, we're at 54 degrees here, 45 in hayward, 33 at the delta and in the 40s over by livermore, but just barely in the upper 30s there. looking live from the embarcadero, things look still at the surface. no wind, great radiational cooling where all the warmth from yesterday is quickly radiated out into space, cold mornings and the frosty start for some of us. temperatures above average and bright and sunny towards thanksgiving. a couple systems riding over the ridge, first one arrives tomorrow, bringing in a few clouds, dropping the temperatures a bit, and then as we get into your wednesday, the day before thanksgiving, looking at another system that really has very little impact on our weather. then the high pressure ridge builds back in and we're all the

way to friday right now, with dry conditions, so looking at numbers for the rest of your weekend, with the high clouds bringing the numbers down just a bit for your sunday, with 60s out there, but mid and upper 60s in our inland valleys, so really hard to discern any big changes, just subtle changes as those systems ride across to the north. 60s, for many of you, across the east bay into monday and tuesday, maybe upper 60s out by the valley. as we look at highs today in particular, san francisco 63, looking at 66 in the south bay, so it's a mild afternoon. how about 69 there by the delta? looking at 69 in santa rosa as well. so nice mild afternoon, again, get the windows and doors open, take the chill out of the house, overnight lows in the 30s and 40s so could be just a little bit milder due to those clouds moving in tonight. the accuweather seven-day forecast, the cold morning, the mild afternoon today, a few more clouds for your sunday, but notice, hard to spot any big

changes with 60s all across the board for many of you, some upper 50s at the coast, a little bit of an onshore flow returning tomorrow but otherwise it's a dry pattern, liz. >> thank you, lisa. despite the worsening pandemic a beloved holiday tradition in the south bay is coming back but with a different look than what we've come to expect. abc 7 news reporter chris nguyen shows us how christmas in the park is changing it up this year with the same festive spirit. >> for the first time in 41 years san jose's christmas in the park will make its home at history park for the holiday season. a silicon valley hallmark reimagined as a drive-through experience. >> there's so much to see. it's almost like sensory overload. >> reporter: jason is executive director of the nonprofit that runs the event which is normally held downtown at plaza chavez, but with covid-19 his team knew they'd have to get creative to keep the tradition alive. >> i think people are going to still really be happy that they get a chance to get out of the

require an entry fee. >> there's never been a display like this, this size in the bay area at all. >> reporter: an attempt at bringing some joy and normalcy when the community needs it most. in san jose, chris nguyen, abc 7 news. a free live stream today for california's state parks, just ahead we'll tell you why this special quarantine concert is a ♪ ["i got you" by ciara] ♪ it all can get so out of control sometimes ♪ ♪ you can lose your faith ♪ you can lose your mind ♪ lose your grip ♪ get stripped of your pride ♪ till you don't know how you're gonna stay alive ♪ ♪ hey, hey i got you ♪ i will give you what you're needing ♪ ♪ i'll be right there ♪ i got your back ♪ i got you
