impact. we found two separate warehouse parties canceled last weekend, just hours before the curfew was to take effect. in california, raves were held outside in san bernardino county, where the local health department says it approves and monitors them. but in the cold weather of new york? >> sheriff's office would be concentrating on large scale gatherings. >> reporter: authorities have declared the underground party is over. stephanie elam, cnn, los angeles. and still ahead on "abc 7 mornings," the local teen who went viral this past week for his time lapse masterpiece vice president elect kamala harris. and our exploratorium camera, such a pretty day, i love looking outside today. you can go for a walk, or do something nice and socially

on the covid reserve roster including lamar jackson, an outbreak the team linked to the strength and conditioning coach who reportedly didn't speak up about his symptoms. their game with pittsburgh now postponed until tuesday. other squads face critical decisions. the san francisco 49ers won't have a home field come monday as santa clara county announced a ban on contact sports. the denver broncos don't even have a quarterback for today's game. all four of theirs either have the virus or are quarantining. the game still happening. >> it's going to be fascinating theater to watch on sunday afternoon. >> now we are in week 12. there is an outbreak on a team. there are other teams dealing with multiple cases. >> what we've seen is that the league is determined to push through and it's going to keep going. >> but it hasn't stopped speculation on changes to the playoffs or even the super bowl. other pro leagues have opted for some version of a bubble. right now nfl officials are reportedly discussing local

bubbles for the 14 to 16 teams that make the playoffs, isolating personnel in hotels, only going and leaving to visit team facilities and strictly limiting who gets inside. alex presha, abc news, baltimore. >> quite the complicated thing to figure out. all right. let's get a check of the weather now which is no so complicated today, it's been pretty stable. >> and that's the problem, liz, some pollutants being trapped at the surface with light winds, not going anywhere. you're probably noticing the air quality, less than ideal, moderate in some areas. a weak system overmedicine m mhg us a few clouds, it passes to the north tomorrow, bringing down temperatures a bit. the actual storm track is well to the north in canada, and we're looking at no rain for the week ahead for the pacific northwest. a hazy bill from our east bay hills camera. temperatures in the upper 40s to

near 50, 46 in gilroy, 55 in half moon bay. some high clouds in the city, coit tower with a lot of sunshine. 4:00 we'll see a few more clouds. right now, 41 in santa rosa. it's been really cold this morning, from the upper 20s from inland, east bay, to the north bay, now looking at mid- to upper 40s. livermore still pretty cool at 40 degrees. finally, in the south bay here at san jose, some haze for you. chilly, with high clouds to start out. moderate air quality today, and that will take us through the entire week as high pressure stays with us. in fact it will even build a little bit as we get into tuesday. that will allow for slight warming and really some gusty winds on the upper elevations. we'll watch that, but we also have a beach hazard statement to pass along. 10:00 tomorrow through tuesday. right now, current wave heights four to five feet. we're looking at the breakers to

increase to seven to nine. then higher than that as we get into late monday to tuesday, from sonoma down to monterey, certainly very dangerous conditions there. as we look at the big picture, you'll notice that today is clear. and then by monday, sunday night into monday, a little bit of high cloud cover as that system passes. we're dry, high pressure builds into the middle of the week. here comes thursday, another system, partly cloudy skies. into the next weekend, still storms missing us and even missing the pacific northwest. so we're certainly extending the dry spell, which we don't want to do. but as we do, the numbers tick up just a little bit today. average highs, upper 50s to near 60s. so we're above that with that 63 in fremont, 65 in san jose. a lot like yesterday, except the second half of the day we'll see a few more clouds. and you notice the air quality is not as good as it's been. 67 in santa rosa. looking at a little bit of wind later on today. but really nothing substantial.

the accuweather seven-day forecast, as we get through the next several days, it's a little bit of the afternoons have been nice, but we're kind of feeling guilty because we need the rain. >> just one mormonmormone month basically, of 2020. we'll get make your holidays happen... at ross! surprise! ahhh! yes! i love it! you don't have to spend a lot to give a lot to the ones who mean the most. you've got the holidays, and we've got you, with the best bargains ever... ...at ross. yes for less!
