going along fairly smoothly. but down south, boy, a huge traffic mess. all lanes are open tonight on northbound i-5 near the grapevine lane. but it was really bad earlier for a big rig crash this morning, spilling those metal poles you saw all over the highway lanes gradually open. but there was a massive backup that caltrans says stretched for roughly 30 miles. and as the helicopter shot pulls back, you can really see that backup, all lanes finally reopened at about 7:00 tonight. all right. i hope you're ready for a wonderful day tomorrow with family and friends. abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel is tracking the thanksgiving accuweather forecast. sandy, it looks like all systems go. >> absolutely. dan it is going to be a gorgeous day tomorrow and we shouldn't have any issues here locally in terms of the weather. so let's take a look at your thanksgiving forecast it as you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll be greeted by sunshine. it'll be clear and cool. 40s in the 50s for your temperatures, bright and breezy at noontime at 3:00 pm, we are talking about

connected with a cough with sneezing, i would recommend call your veterinarian as soon as possible. >> experts say if you are boarding your healthy dog this holiday season, you shouldn't worry. just use caution. try to avoid communal water bowls that other dogs might share. reduce the amount of contact with other dogs like at a dog park, for example. and if possible, talk with your veterinarian about any vaccination updates that your dog may need. well, we told you is breaking news last night. openai has brought back ceo and co-founder sam altman. but tonight, a new study says it's probably the right move. the study published in the journal of business research, found what can happen to an organization when its founding ceo leaves. >> one of this is that keeping founders ceos at the helm is critical for an organization's innovation performance. in the long run. we also find that non founding ceos who are also called as agent ceos cannot compete easily with the founders. another finding from

happen tomorrow. it's going to be sunny and warmer. we are looking at gusty winds in the hills between tomorrow afternoon and friday morning. and it will get colder during the nighttime hours and cooler during the day this upcoming weekend. so plan accordingly. obviously, we'll be dealing with some frost as we get later on into the workweek or holiday week and into early next weekend. take a look at a live picture from our pier 39 camera as we look at the ferris wheel there and pier 39, just good visibility tonight. temperatures in the 40s and the 50s at this hour, running warmer than yesterday compared to yesterday. and that's because of all the cloud cover with this weak system passing to our north. we haven't seen any rain. we're not expecting any. but certainly more clouds is up to the north. a few sprinkles have developed and that system is going to pass through here and you will notice what's going to happen. skies begin to clear early tomorrow morning in the sierra. they will see some snow showers and rain showers mixing in. and for us here in the bay area, as the winds pick up,

sunshine will prevail. but the winds are going to come up out of the north and that's why wind advisory has been issued for solano county tomorrow morning until friday afternoon. northerly winds gusting up to 45 miles an hour. that downslope wind could blow down some tree limbs, cause a few outages. certainly blow around some holiday decorations. so you'll want to secure those before the winds arrive. so tomorrow afternoon into the evening, northerly winds between 29 to 33 miles an hour, you will notice by late night, close to 40 mile an hour winds. it gets a little breezy even near the coastline as we head into friday morning. over 40 mile an hour winds very drying wind. the good news is the recent rain rains have added more moisture to the fuels. so we're not worried about fire danger, but always a good idea to remain aware heading into 3 p.m. friday afternoon, winds start to ease your morning temperatures anywhere from the 30s to the 50s under clear skies tomorrow afternoon in the south bay, it's going to feel more like spring 72. in san jose, 71 degrees in gilroy, 70 in
