at six. waking up to slick roads across the bay area. we're taking a live look outside at the oakland airport. lisa is tracking it all for you. plus a disturbing arrest in the south bay. parents angry. a random man walked into a girls locker room and started filming. more on that. but first, we are closing

in on election day. what last minute voters need to know before casting their ballot? good morning everybody. it's saturday, november second. it's great to be back with you. and we were talking about how we use the windshield wipers last night. but today we're in the clear for the most part. >> you know, the showers are tapering off and the most rain fell in the north bay. the upper elevations over an inch and a half, while the east bay over in oakland, they're almost 6/100. but you go up in the higher elevations over a third of an inch. so there's the front as it moves through the san joaquin valley. you can see that clap of thunder. and as we get in closer to home, they're just south of tracy and in the hills here in the east bay, looking at some very, very light precip. so the slick roadways with us, it is raining in the mountains. and so the temperatures right at freezing. they're not bringing us much snow. 56 in fremont. it is 55 in the city with 43 in calistoga. that's where skies are clearing. and we do have a little bit of fog anywhere from

7 to 12 degrees milder with all that cloud cover. and we'll be looking at temperatures barely at 60 today. partly sunny along the coastline. and as we get around the bay, it will be in the mid 60s for most for you around hayward and oakland with sunny skies, the winds kicking up our inland valleys, we'll see temperatures just a couple degrees milder in the upper 60s. so breezy winds for all. and then a wind shift for your sunday. we'll talk about a couple offshore events coming our way in the next few days. stephanie. >> all right lisa. thank you. and speaking of, firefighters in the north bay are watching the weather closely. they're hoping the upcoming fall storm will help reduce fire danger before things could pivot back. as gusty winds are likely to return, this weekend, it's really don't want people to get caught off guard because we're getting these lower temperatures in the evening, we're getting this little bit of rain and all of a sudden everyone thinks we're out of fire season because we're most definitely not. cal fire and local fire departments have been conducting prescribed burns to reduce wildfire risk,

but they remind homeowners fire season. of course, is year round to the election now three days away. vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump both keeping their attention on battleground states, including wisconsin, while once again making different pitches for the presidency in this final sprint. trump focused on what he calls fixing problems of the biden-harris administration, and he also pointed to the weaker than expected jobs report released earlier this week. >> it's hundreds of thousands of jobs, less than it should be, but those numbers are so low they're almost disqualifying. the only thing good about the numbers i'm going to give you now are that it's great to run against the people that created those numbers, because it's terrible. >> wisconsin and the vice president harris appealed to an alternative to the former presidents, quote, hate and division. unlike donald trump, i don't believe that people who

disagree with me are the enemy. >> he wants to put them in jail. >> i'll give them a seat at the table. >> as of today, more than 68 million people have already voted by mail or in person. that's according to the university of florida. now, with the election a few days away, do you know what's allowed or not allowed at the polls? from selfies to dress code? abc seven news reporter monica madden has the do's and don'ts of voting in person. >> if you're planning to vote in person the old fashioned way, there are a few things you need to know before you cast your ballot. first and foremost, there is a dress code. now, it doesn't mean you have to be wearing your sunday best, but there are restrictions on any clothing or accessories that are in support of or against a certain candidate or proposition. that's because california law bans electioneering. the idea is to create a neutral environment for voters so they don't feel pressured to vote a certain way. this means you got to leave any campaign gear behind. no maga

hats. no harris wall shirts. it even applies to buttons. but don't worry, the i voted sticker is okay. another question we get is what should i bring to the polls? in most circumstances, voters are not going to be asked to present an id to an election official, but it's another story if you're a first time voter. now in california, first time voters can register to vote on the day of and get a provisional ballot. you're going to want to make sure that you bring a california id or present your last four digits of your social security number to an election official, and make sure to bring proof of residency, like a recent utility bill or any other government issued mail that you might have gotten recently. when you get there, you may see people watching the process there. poll watchers, not election officials. the difference is they're volunteers here to monitor the process and make sure everything is running smoothly. however, they're not allowed to ask you for personal information like proof of voter registration or your id. selfies are permitted at the polling place, but ultimately it's up to

the discretion of election workers. if it's causing a disturbance and any photograph you may take cannot compromise other people's personal information. now, there's always the option to mail or drop off your ballot at one of these official drop box locations. if you're doing it by mail, though, your time is running out. it needs to be postmarked and in the mail on or by election day, which is next tuesday, november 5th in san francisco. monica madden, abc7 news. >> in the east bay, five early voting locations opened their doors in contra costa county. election officials want people to know they're prepared and staffed up for election day. hundreds of people lined up at this one at walnut creek city hall. >> turnout perspective in 2020, returns are higher than what we've seen so far, but we but we do expect there to be a big uptick this weekend. there will be a big spike to get us to that, to that 85 plus percent turnout by the end. >> they're working to get more ballot devices operating so they

can cut down on the lines and you can always skip the wait by dropping off your ballot at a post office or one of the many drop boxes the county's voting sites will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day, and a reminder, lyft and uber users can also receive a 50% discount on rides to their polling station on election day, according to a report released by lyft. people without cars are less likely to vote, so lyft users can preload the code vote 24 into their app until november 5th. uber is offering half off rideshare costs of up to $10 as well. on tuesday, abc seven news is here to help you navigate through all the races and measures on the ballot. we'll have a voter guide, of course, over on our website, abc seven news.com, where you can look up races specific to your county and you'll find that all under the election section in san jose. now, a man is in jail accused of entering a middle school girl's locker room and

recording students inside. police say the man ran when staff at bret hart middle school confronted him inside the building on monday. on wednesday, he was found and detained. police say they found photos on his phone. parents want to know how something like this could have happened. >> it's concerning that anybody can just walk into campus like that and no one say anything. you walk right by. supposedly, when they told him that he had to leave, he he just flipped him off and cussed at them. and then nobody really engaged into, like, trying to really remove him from the school. >> he's been booked for possession of child sexual abuse material, and the recording of juveniles with a hidden camera in a private area. developing news now the superintendent of alum rock union school district sent a letter to the community over potential school closures. the district has been considering closing 13 of its 21 schools. superintendent herman serna recommended holding town hall meetings with families in the district for some feedback,

and he also recommended closing eight schools and consolidating two other schools. any proposal would still need to go through the alum rock union board. on the peninsula now, the public finally had a chance to ask about a slimy spill at a tesla facility in palo alto. remember this green slime we've been talking about for several weeks now? abc seven news reporter lauren martinez was there as residents questioned city officials. what exactly is in this bright green substance? >> i do have a question about how it was determined, what was spilled. >> questions are still swirling about a chemical spill in palo alto. a neighbor took this video on october 17th and alerted the city. officials say 916 gallons of a non-hazardous solution came from a tesla research facility. the spill was seemingly an accident on friday evening. palo alto city manager and the fire chief hosted a community meeting. >> i wasn't clear if this got

into the matadero creek bypass. what's the plan to have less this type of impact and more communication going forward? >> officials say a formal investigation as to what exactly is in the solution will take time, but the initial test is with a ph test to test the acidity of the material. >> so again, and i always say we don't necessarily know what it is, but we also know what it isn't. >> a point residents wanted to address why it took the city five days to notify them of the spill and cleanup. >> the same thing that happened with the, you know, va spill, same thing that happened with the cpi incidents. you know, is how quickly these things should be communicated to us. you know, as neighbors, whether they're serious or not serious, you kno, let us make that determination of, you know, we're concerned or not. >> the city said as far as next steps, they will change their notification protocol. >> basically any significant incident going forward. we're going to step up our

communication. >> residents appreciated the city holding this meeting. winter dellenback said the amount of neighbors that came out on a friday night is an indication they deeply care. >> you can't just care and not get involved if all you do is sit around and care. it doesn't mean anything. you have to do something. >> also discussed in the meeting early next week. the creek will be tested to make sure it's clean and there are no remnants from the spill in palo alto. lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> all right, lisa, how's it looking out there? >> well, the rain is ending, but as we look at the view from mount tam. nice clear view out there. it is 44 degrees since midnight, 9/100. but since yesterday, 1.91. and barely anything in the south bay. so we'll talk about the rest of your saturday. a breezy day today and gusty offshore winds arriving tomorrow. that's all coming up. >> lisa thank you. also ahead on the right track. that's the

message from oakland police. what could be the reason for a significant drop in violent crime across the city? and the new south bay complex. helping young people who are u

us department of commerce chose the city. the plant will help ease the us's reliance on semiconductors made overseas. >> silicon valley will go back to the golden days where when it started with the semiconductor, we don't have to rely on anybody outside the united states to build and to design our chips. >> semiconductors are used in everything from phones to cars to make the electronics work. the center is expected to drive more than $1 billion in research funding, and create more than 200 jobs over the next ten

years. an old motel in san jose has been converted into affordable housing for transitional youth. the new affordable housing complex by the nonprofit jamboree is located near the county center. sunrise pavilion offers 30 studios and 12 one bedroom units for people up to the age of 25 who are unhoused. one of the new residents is a former foster child who had trouble finding stable housing. >> they told me i was moving in. i was in shock and i wanted to cry. i couldn't believe it, but i was grateful to be alive that day. grateful to see a new beginning to. >> besides housing, residents will get on-site support services like workforce and education assistance. it cost $32 million to convert the motel into affordable housing. all right. bad news for the california salmon population. the coleman fish hatchery recorded less than 5 million eggs, about a third of the number they were hoping for. and

officials say the recent drought impacted the population of fish that returned to the hatchery. most of the male salmon are too young. only 1000 female salmon returned short of their goal of 3500. the hatchery says these factors are hurting the spawning process. well, tonight san jose will hold its dia de los muertos celebration at mexican heritage plaza. it's their biggest event of the year, with an expected 2500 people. there will be street vendors and performance hubs. you're looking at video of last year. people will also get to see lucha libre drumming troupes, dancers, concerts as well as lots of food. altars will be on display to honor the dead and the avenue of the altars is tonight from 530 to 1030, and there are multiple dia de los muertos events planned for the bay area this weekend. there's actually a procession through san francisco's mission district tonight. san jose is having an additional community celebration starting at 11 a.m. at the museum of art. san rafael

is hosting its 36th annual celebration at the borough community center. and on sunday, there's also going to be a festival at oakland's fruitvale village. and lisa, i went to a street fair honoring the holiday in the sunset last night. we enjoyed some delicious empanadas and then it started to rain. so i know we're bracing for less rain today right? >> yes, but you know, we are looking at a big change as we get into sunday, so the showers are tapering off. they're pretty much over with some of the higher elevations. and in the sierra nevada we have our winter weather advisory until 11:00. but it is raining at lake level, so that advisory is above 6000ft. so while today we see that west northwest wind, tomorrow will be a northerly component so quickly moving to the south and east of us through the san joaquin valley and a few leftover isolated showers there. mount hamilton, tracy that's about it. the fog has been developing as well with over two

mile visibility. half moon bay and about three quarters of a mile in santa rosa and vacaville. so if you are headed out early, be careful. the roadways are slick and we will be looking at things drying out as soon as the middle to late morning hours. there's a look at how much rain mount tam middle peak got 1.61 more than that above 2000ft, a third of an inch in santa rosa. a little bit more than that skyline boulevard. the upper elevations of the east bay, petaluma over a half inch. oakland 6/100. and sunnyvale around four 100. so we are looking at the cool temperatures, mainly in the north bay as the skies begin to clear, with mid and upper 50s milder conditions, east bay and south bay. you notice those mid 40s in santa rosa and novato. we'll be looking at a cool day today with temperatures a few degrees below average, and those winds kicking up a lingering shower possible this morning. then bright and breezy throughout the afternoon. we're talking about those winds moving fast throughout the later afternoon. and that continues

into your sunday as we get an offshore flow, the fire danger will be a concern as those northerly winds dry things out quickly for your sunday, and then again tuesday night into wednesday. and thursday with a stronger onshore offshore event. here's a look at how quickly the rain has moved on out. 9:00 we've got sunshine and then the winds kicking up throughout the afternoon with a few high clouds around, but it feels like a fall day out there and the concern really will be for the middle of next week because we don't have the critically dry fuel levels throughout the grasses because of the rain. the overnight rain. so that's the good news for your sunday. things will be dry, but not as dry as they could be throughout the day. today those winds kicking up to about 30 miles an hour, primarily at the shoreline, so it's breezy to gusty at the coast. and then our advisory here in the greater lake tahoe area the next couple of hours through 11:00 above 6000ft, maybe 1 to 2in of snow. so highs today barely at 60.

half moon bay. so it's a cool breezy to windy day here. 64 downtown upper 60s. and our warmest locations mid 60s around the bay shore and the accuweather seven day forecast. we fall back at that extra hours of sleep for your sunday. a dry and windy day for your sunday afternoon, and then we're warmer throughout tomorrow, monday and then on tuesday, election day. those winds kick up late in the day and those offshore winds are back wednesday into thursday with some warm temperatures. stephanie. >> all right lisa thank you. oakland is on pace to record the biggest drop in homicides in the city's history. in fact, there were no homicides in the entire month of october. oakland mayor shengtao joined the assistant police chief to make that announcement. here's abc seven news reporter anser hassan. >> in the month of october, we haven't had a single homicide. >> assistant police chief james beer says the oakland police department is, quote, not waving a victory flag, but he wants oakland residents to know the

city is making strides against violent crime. >> we're sitting at 113 homicides this time last year. for 2024, we have 71. >> according to data released by the city, that represents a 33% drop in the homicide rate compared to last year. it also points to a 37% decrease in overall crime this year, a data point that tells us that we are on the right track and that we need to continue our focus and we need to continue having the resources that we have focused on. ceasefire doctor holly joshi was brought in last december with the mandate to fully relaunch the ceasefire program, after an outside audit shows it works. the program brings together those at risk of committing gun violence through group meetings to foster dialog. >> ceasefire is effective is because it's a strategy. it's not something thrown at the wal. >> sergeant huiwen is president of the oakland police officers association. he praises the work done to reduce the number of homicides. but he says further budget cuts would mean fewer

officers and possible cuts to the ceasefire program. >> if the direction that we're moving to 600 police officers, the challenge is ceasefire might not even exist because we won't have enough officers just to answer 911 calls. >> oakland mayor shengtao, who faces a recall vote on tuesday, restructured opd to work with the department of violence prevention and programs like ceasefire. >> again, oakland is on the right track, but we're going to continue to dig in until we have zero homicides in oakland, anser hassan abc seven news. >> a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv, and roku. you can download the app now and star

nine. well, all this wet weather can be damaging to our roads, but that's only one problem. a new report on the quality of bay area roads shows there's a lot of work that still needs to be done. in fact, the region scored 67 out of a possible 100 points, a level that stayed the same for

the past nine years. abc seven news reporter tim johns has the details. >> bay area drivers have a common complaint. our local roadways aren't in the best shape. a new report from the metropolitan transportation commission confirms that it rains the area's roads as only being fair. assigning the nine counties a score of 67 out of 100. the exact same number it scored for the past nine years. >> every day our roads are getting older. every day they're more exposed to the elements. every day they're more exposed to traffic. >> john goodwin is a spokesperson for the mtc. he says despite spending money on infrastructure maintenance, many bay area governments are barely keeping up. >> the money that cities and counties do have for pavement maintenance doesn't go as far as it did a few years ago. the cost of materials, cost of labor, etcetera. >> the condition of roads in the bay area depends largely on where you actually are. in marin

county, the city of larkspur has the best roads in the region. but on the other side of the spectrum, here in vallejo, the pothole filled streets are ranked as the worst. that distinction is an annoying reality for many vallejo drivers. >> dodging potholes left and right. put it that way. we're dodging potholes that may change the radio station. >> garrett tullis tells us it's gotten so bad that at one point, several years ago, he and some friends actually started filling potholes around the city themselves, something abc seven news first reported on back in 2022. >> a lot of those people in vallejo, they do come from low income communities and, you kno, that's just another hassle for them. that's just another financial burden they have to deal with. >> due to heavy investments as well as a commitment to infrastructure improvements from local officials, goodwin expects the region's overall roadway score to increase in the coming years, something he says will improve everyone's quality of life. >> i see that as a strong leading indicator that we're moving in the right direction, but we're moving at a real slow

pace. >> the average roadway has a life expectancy between 18 and 25 years. in vallejo. tim johns, abc seven news. >> i think we can all agree potholes are the worst. lisa. >> yes, and the roadways are slick this morning with the oils coming up to the surface from the rain. but you can see the golden gate bridge not looking too bad. but boy, the north bay big winners with the rain. just trace amounts elsewhere. breezy winds and sunshine taking over for your saturday. but for sunday it's an offshore wind event. i'll explain and have the

a cold front that is pushing through the san joaquin valley. we had a good amount of rain last night in the north bay, and looking at trace amounts in the south bay, but a little bit is good, right? especially when we get that wind shift for your sunday. so most of the ground has been damp through the overnight hours. and we're

looking at those lingering showers on the hills of mount hamilton, maybe morgan hill, visibility reduced here at the coast to just over a mile. you can see under a mile there. santa rosa. elsewhere. not much of a problem as we look outside that sun coming up at 736. it sets at 609. and look at that 1.61 mount tam, middle peak. there a third of an inch in santa rosa. a little bit over than that skyline boulevard in the east bay and over a half inch in petaluma. but we get to the lower elevations in just a couple hundredths here from oakland, sunnyvale and morgan hill. so looking at trace amounts elsewhere. so we thought this would favor the north bay. and it certainly did. temperatures right now from the mid and upper 50s from san francisco to oakland, 54in mountain view with some 40s up to the north bay fog and then clearing sky will be the outlook throughout the rest of the day. a few lingering showers here and there. otherwise, bright and breezy. today we get into a northerly wind tomorrow, so that's an offshore wind that

will warm up the temperatures significantly, maybe 8 to 10 degrees warmer tomorrow than today. that increases our fire danger, but we're watching a second offshore event tuesday night into thursday that could potentially bring red flag warnings our way. so we'll have to see how much those grasses dry out tomorrow. and then as this sets up for that second event that could bring us some critical fire weather conditions we're clearing out. we're getting sunshine. and then those winds kicking up behind the system, it will be quite gusty along the shoreline, and then the winds will continue into our sunday, prompting a beach hazard statement. so throughout the day today, notice 20 to 30 miles an hour inside the bay. more like 15 to 20 miles an hour. so it will be breezy. it will feel cooler than average. as we look at the mountains. there are lingering upper elevations. snow showers. that's above 6000ft a couple of inches. but at lake level it's been rain at 32 and 33 degrees at lake tahoe. so

keep that in mind if you are traveling. it's certainly slippery out there for your sunday. our beach hazards statement with those waves kicking up a long period northwesterly swell 10 to 14ft. so right now you can see we're at about ten feet bodega bay. so certainly dangerous conditions here as we get into your sunday. saturday's highs a little bit below average. looking at some mid 60s across the bay around the bay shore 64 san francisco. those breezy winds barely at 60 around pacifica. and then where we warm up it will just be into the upper 60s from livermore to santa rosa today with about 68 in san jose. so overnight tonight, we're clear, we're cool. and the accuweather seven day forecast back to standard time for your sunday. we get that extra hour of sleep that's some good news. and into your monday temperatures will continue to stay on the mild side with mid 70s around the bay and into tuesday night. that's when we get our other push of an offshore flow. election day. and then wednesday and thursday we're mild with more november

warmth. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. officials in santa clara county are hoping to expand services for people struggling with substance abuse in the south bay. it's part of the goal to double the number of people receiving care by the year 2030. here's abc seven news reporter dustin dorsey. >> just as a physical compass gets people on the right track, santa clara county's new compass program aims to do the same for those suffering from addiction. they'll do this with a compassionate addiction services and support clinic to treat the most vulnerable. supervisor otto lee has witnessed firsthand how much addiction can make an impact. >> my cousin was addicted to substances and was overdosed three years ago. it affects everybody in the family of how it happened, making us wonder how did it happen? how could we have done more? and what do we need to do moving forward? >> now, he and his colleagues at the board of supervisors hope to take that next step to help. the

board will vote to expand addiction services from hospitalization to recovery, with patient care in mind when they decide that they want help or when it is clear that they are in grave danger. >> we need to be there for them. >> services will include easier access through same day walk in and telehealth access, direct care with medication, triage and withdrawal management, collaborative help with santa clara valley health care providers, ems and inpatient services, and support for prescribers to give a full comprehensive approach. >> and we're expanding services that specifically meet the needs of youth, of adolescents, of the unhoused, and of those in the justice system. >> in 2023, overdose deaths in santa clara county were down for the first time in a decade. numbers are declining this year again, but overdose deaths don't tell the full story. leaders say demand for addiction services still far outpaces supply, which is why they are doubling down on efforts to double the care. 10,000 can receive addiction treatment annually. today, the

county hopes to serve 20,000 by 2030. >> together, we will ensure that mental health and substance use treatment is prioritized for the well-being of everyone in santa clara county. >> substance abuse impacts everyone, either directly or indirectly, and getting help to those who need it helps build a better community for all in santa clara county. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> if you or someone you know is dealing with issues like substance abuse, there is help. and we've put a list of local resources together over on our website, abc seven news.com/take action. we'll and we need real experienced leadership. we need mark farrell. our interim mayor who got things done. who showed we can clear tent encampments, fight crime, and address the drug crisis.

who will make the tough choices for our city's future. "i'm mark farrell. i'm running for mayor because san francisco deserves better." "i'm ready to deliver that change on day one." mark farrell. a proven leader with the experience we need.

its director, larry beil, speaks with the giants new general manager zach minasian. >> good morning everybody. zach minasian started working in baseball as a little kid. he was a bat boy working for his dad, folding towels in the clubhouse.

he's worked his way all the way to the top. the new general manager of the san francisco giants. now, buster posey is the director of baseball ops. he admitted zach was not at the top of his list initially, but all roads kept leading back to zach, who joined me to talk about the challenges ahead. first of all, congratulations. i know you got your family here as well, so it's got to be, you know, a great time for everybody involved. what are the past 24 hours been like for you? >> it's been a little crazy. a lot of text messages, phone calls. i'm still trying to deal with an infant baby and make sure he gets his sleep. but it's been fun in a sense of making the calls to the people who have been so impactful on my life, my career, and their reactions. it's been awesome. so in a sense, as crazy as it's been, i'd love to relive it so many times over just to hear those reactions again. >> you're a baseball lifer. you come from a baseball family. your brother is the gm of the angels. we're not going to hold it against you that tommy lasorda, the dodgers legend, is your godfather. was your

godfather. yes. but do we put that low in the bio that, you know, tommy and all the dodgers. >> i think the people who know me best. i have three older brothers. and you know, four boys in a very sports related family. you're kind of having to scratch and crawl for everything. and whether that's attention winning a pickup basketball game and whether i liked it or not, i probably developed this little chip on my shoulder that i had to prove myself and try and get that attention. so in reality, uncle tom being my godfather, i actually think it's the perfect fit for me to be in this role with the giants. >> congratulations. thanks, larry. the great thing is, i don't have to yell at you in the parking lot anymore. are you going to sign a free agent or what? zach. come on. thank you so much. >> i appreciate you having me on. thank you. >> and i used to scream at him in the parking lot like that. zach's first order of business is going to be blake snell. he

just opted out of his giants contract. so he's a free agent. remember, snell had an awful start to the season but he finished strong. era of 1.23 in his last 14 starts. and that included that no hitter right there. snell made $32 million this season. will likely be looking for more and many more years on an extension in the open market. dodgers spent the day partying with 200,000 of their best friends at the world series victory parade through downtown la. remember when the dodgers won the title back in 2020? they couldn't hold a parade because of the pandemic. so this was kind of like two celebrations in one. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend everybody. i'm larry beil. >> a mexican restaurant in san jose got a surprise visit from an all time great san francisco. 40 niners. hey, let's go everybody, let's get inside. >> let's go, let's go. >> you know who that is? that's former 40 niners wide receiver jerry rice encouraging people to go inside araujo mexican grill for a free lunch. that restaurant got a $14,900

donation from pepsi. it's part of an initiative by the soda company to support local eateries. to celebrate, pepsi and the 40 niners picked up the bill for all the customers eating lunch that day. residents in the bay area gathered from all over to celebrate diwali, the festival of lights and fremont. families and friends showed up to honor this holiday. it's a chance to celebrate light over the darkness and happiness over sorrow. while diwali is known as the festival of lights, bay area residents say they have several ways of celebrating the holiday. many families also participate in prayers before enjoying good food and great company. while you still might be cleaning up your halloween decor or prepping for thanksgiving, there's always that one group of people i'm sure you know them immediately. ready for christmas? we just skip over thanksgiving. some massachusetts locals and tourists are a part of that group, paying a visit to a very special spruce tree. we're talking about the new rockefeller christmas tree.

tourists traveled from all over the world to see the new tree before it's taken to new york. >> we flew copenhagen to switzerland and then to new york and had an evening in new york. and then we drove up here and i took the wrong way. we call it the scenic route. so it took six hours instead of 2.5 hours. but we found it and we found the tree and we were very happy. >> the tree will be lit on december fourth, and it will have 50,000 multicolored lights and a swarovski star on the top. this is the first rockefeller tree to come from massachusetts since 1959. so iconic to see it all lit up. >> it's beautiful. all right. we are looking at just a few lingering showers this morning. you can see not getting light out there until 736. looking at bright breezy conditions today. and those offshore winds tomorrow will dry things out considerably. so the north bay got all the rain over an inch. mount tam a half inch. petaluma a couple hundredths in the east bay and the south bay a little

bit more than that in the higher elevations, but today cooler than average mid 60s in oakland, upper 60s in our inland valleys with those west northwesterly winds kicking up, especially at the coast. and the accuweather seven day forecast get set to feel a little better tomorrow with that extra hour of sleep. back to standard time. those gusty offshore winds, they take a break on monday and they are back on election day, and that's going to take us through wednesday and thursday. with the warmer than average numbers and potentially red flag warnings throughout the middle of next week. so we'll keep you posted on that. but the rain that's about out of here, okay. >> and we'll enjoy setting our clocks back that hour. more sleep for us. yeah. all right everyone, thanks for joining us for abc seven mornings. we'll see you back here at eight. have a great day. all: good morning, !
