6:18 am
>> the sacrifice, the loss of that economic engine of the flea market really requires that we maximize the value of this property and this new proposal does not maximize this property in fact, it way under values the property if the city is deemed to be compliant with housing needs when the plans were made, builders remedy cannot be used and the city can deny the downsize plan. >> in san jose, dustin dorsey, abc seven news as well. >> happening today the annual walk to end alzheimer's here in san francisco. get ready to see a lot of purple. the fundraising walk starts at 1030 in the morning from pier 27. now walkers can do either a one mile walk along the embarcadero or a two and a half mile route. the money raised goes to research and to support those caring for someone with alzheimer's. our very own abc7 news morning anchor reggie aqui will be the emcee for this year and i will say you may want to grab a jacket this morning. let's check in with lisa to see how the

your monday morning commute, it will be slick. we've got anywhere from about a quarter of an inch, perhaps in richmond, maybe a 10th on the bay shore, lesser amounts in our inland valleys, the south bay. but we will be looking at the activity for this first system well up into the pacific northwest and a slipping down into extreme northern california today, the warmest day out of the workweek in the upper 70s low, 70 tomorrow. and we'll look for those mid 70s that average high slipping as we get through november. but we've got those 60s for the rest of the workweek, which will feature those cooler days into next week. 67 downtown, that is average 72 in fremont, upper 70s in san jose and the accuweather seven day forecast. we've got partly to mostly cloudy skies today and looking at that level one system trying to get its act together on sunday more likely early monday and then much cooler into next week. so it was

6:50 am
novato to santa rosa a mile and three quarters for you along the coast and current temperatures pretty mild out there. 55 in oakland, 58 in san francisco with 57 in hayward. upper 50s in san jose. so our 24 hour temperature change is much warmer, five degrees warmer along the coast, four degrees in our east bay. and check out the golden gate bridge. there it is really swamped in fog there. and we're looking at the fog at the coast and then the higher clouds filtering in throughout the day. some mid-level clouds comfortable temperatures, but certainly not as warm. and then the spotty showers into your sunday sunset tonight, 607 for your sunday, 506. the sun not coming up until 738 this morning. there's a look at the partly cloudy day, 5:00. we're dry. no rain showers for your saturday on sunday. they may be a hit or miss spotty shower. otherwise, we are focused on monday level one system here holding together for the monday
6:51 am
morning commute. so a little slick out there, primarily in the north bay. it falls apart as it moves through and we'll look for some dry and sunny conditions throughout the afternoon. so rainfall amounts through tomorrow evening, maybe a sprinkle, a couple hundredths here. san francisco, that's about it. and then into your monday, mainly in the morning hours, maybe a quarter of an inch in the north bay, perhaps a few hundredths in the south bay into our inland valleys. and looking at all of that rain for that first system, the pacific northwest, extreme northern california, maybe a couple of inches in the sierra nevada for high elevation snow with that colder system. monday into tuesday, 72 today in fremont. that has much cooler the cloud cover with us mid 60s along the coast looking at some upper 70s inland so still on the mild side there but a far cry from those mid 80s yesterday. the accuweather seven day forecast. so the spotty showers arriving
6:52 am
tomorrow. level one system tomorrow mainly into monday and then as we look at our tuesday forecast, a lingering shower, much cooler. getting back to those frigid mornings, those chilly nights, but dry conditions, it looks like wednesday and thursday could maybe even see more rain next weekend. so certainly fall this weekend. >> yeah, it feels like it. so daylight saving time scares you this news. >> news, this news. no, no. i can deal with that. the snooze button. it's rewarding for me every time i like this time of year. >> it's the best, right? >> we all look forward to it. >> when we return, the rock and roll hall of fame. the artists inducted, including the powerhouse women now being honored and we are your bargain bliss market.
