all were 2023 graduates of piedmont high school and were home for the thanksgiving holiday. today, the city released statements from the families of all three fatal victims. sorin dixon was a student and lacrosse player at usc. his family wrote sorin lit up a room, made friends easily, and had a unique ability to make everyone feel welcomed and valued. krista tsukahara was a sophomore at savannah college of art and design. her family says she'll be remembered for her kind and sensitive heart, love for her family and friends, and her incredible eye for style and design. jack nelson attended the university of colorado. his family remembered his adventurous spirit, saying he cared deeply for other people and had a strong faith. he proudly shared through the cross he wore every day. there is still no word on the cause of the crash. the california highway patrol is investigating, and the chronicle reports the national highway traffic safety administration is also part of the probe. well, scary scene at a farmers market at el cerrito plaza. this

morning. a car crashed through the market, hitting a person. el cerrito police didn't share any details, but a witness tells us that the pedestrian was an older man who appeared to be in his 70s. both the driver and the pedestrian were injured and transported away from the scene. police have not yet released any updates. meantime, police in san mateo county say san mateo and burlingame officers shot a man after he pointed a gut them this morning. they were investigating possible gunshots in a burlingame neighborhood. police say when they arrived, a man pointed a gun at them and ran off. he was found near myrtle and bayswater roads yelling in the street. and police say efforts to deescalate failed. they shot the man when he refused to drop his gun, and he was taken to a nearby hospital. on the peninsula, a scare for a large group of boaters on oyster point this morning. they had to be rescued after being hit by a large wave. the coast guard says just after 830. 18 people, including two children, set out on board a 14 foot long wooden dragon boat.

that wave knocked 15 of those people into the water. the good news all were rescued safely and no one was seriously injured. a season marked by debate and national attention for the san jose state women's volleyball team may be over for match point, and the championship. >> and it's an ace for colorado state. >> there you have it. the spartans lost to colorado state today in the finals of the mountain west conference tournament. san jose state's season has been marked by forfeits, protests, even a lawsuit centered on gender identity. several schools forfeited games rather than play the spartans claiming there was a transgender player on san jose state's team who should be blocked from participating. the school and the player have never said how they identify. >> i don't want to talk necessarily about the way we played. i want to talk about how proud i am of them. they fought all the way through the end.

they showed a lot of heart. they showed a lot of desire. they showed a lot of moxie. they showed a lot of character throughout the season. i don't think any of those things can be taken for granted. >> a lawsuit was recently filed by players from various schools, including one from san jose state. they claim the athlete in question is getting preferential treatment. the spartans still have a chance, though, to extend their season. if selected to play in the ncaa tournament. all right, turning now to the weather. it was a chilly start for the day. many parts of the bay area felt it even a frost advisory for some, though, things are improving. spencer gives an idea of what we can expect in our 24 hour accuweather forecast. >> okay, diane, no more frost advisories for a while. let's start with the weather headlines. we'll start with this one. overnight clouds increase. so not quite so cold tonight. tomorrow mostly sunny and mild. and we have a week of december warmth coming our way. let's start with the overnight conditions. as the clouds increase, they'll lock in some of the daytime warming so we won't have cold weather overnight. overnight lows will be

mainly in the mid to upper 40s, except for a couple of places way up north where it will be chilly. tomorrow. certainly will not be chilly with high temperatures reaching mid to upper 60s around the bay, shoreline and inland even mid 60s on the coast. one other thing to remember though, is that tomorrow will will be a spare the air day as we have an increase in particulate matter in the atmosphere. so a moderate to poor air quality tomorrow. but i'll give you a look at what to expect after that a little bit later on. all right. >> looking forward to it spencer. well, the early numbers show americans speng on black friday. today, shoppers are being encouraged to go small as in small businesses. all of it is an effort to help those mom and pop shops get their piece of the pie. abc seven news reporter lena howland has more on small business saturday. from the east bay. i'll have a blue christmas. >> thanksgiving came and went. black friday had its moment, but now it's time to swing into small business saturday. >> today already it's been nonstop all day, so customers

oakland. we've got mid to upper 50s also at half moon bay, san jose, hayward and a cool 50 at redwood city. check out this beautiful view from mount tam looking down at the city under clear skies. 39 degrees up north right now at santa rosa. also 39 at fairfield. so those are a couple of chilly spots, but 41 at petaluma, 51 at napa, 46 concord, 48 at livermore. and looking across the embarcadero. let's take a look at our forecast headlines. overnight. clouds will continue increasing, but it will be not nearly so cold as the last few nights tomorrow. mostly sunny and mild, and then next week, first week of december will bring us some december warmth for tonight. let's take a look at those increasing clouds on the futurecast animation. you see them flowing up from the south, and a little enough moisture that's showing up. it will be showing up on our radar screen at about 9 a.m. or so, moving through the gilroy and watsonville area. but once again, this moisture is not likely to translate into any actual raindrops or measurable rain hitting the ground. so by noon tomorrow, we'll be

looking at partly cloudy skies, but under mild conditions. in fact, overnight, because of the cloud cover, the temperatures will not drop very low at all. that's one reason we won't have any frost advisories up in the north bay. we'll see a couple of chilly spots like santa rosa, ukiah and lakeport, but elsewhere, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 40s. highs tomorrow will be in the mid to upper 60s around the bay, shoreline and inland. even on the coast. we'll have highs in the mid 60s and tomorrow will be a spare. the air day. the first of two consecutive spare the air days. as we are experiencing a little bit of an increase in particulate matter in the atmosphere. so the air quality tomorrow and monday will be generally moderate to poor and it will start to improve midweek. and speaking of midweek, here's the accuweather seven day forecast. and this first week of december is certainly going to bring us some mild and atypical or undecember like weather with high temperatures each day in the mid to upper 60s around the bay and in our inland areas on the coast, we'll see low to mid 60s and no rain in sight. and

certainly no snow. >> i was just thinking you mentioned like making us feel like kids in the holiday season. i think youe a big kid all the time though. >> yes, the little kid in me will never go away. >> yeah, it keeps you young too. >> it does. thank you. all right. >> thanks, spencer. well, coming up, tis the season. mr. and mrs. claus already taking requests for christmas. the unique event today in the north bay. and a reminder we are less than a month away from christmas, and we are streaming the yule log. you can look for it on abc seven news.com and the abc seven bay area app

the coast to mid and upper 60s near the bay to mid and upper 60s inland. you can't get much milder than that in december. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. in each of those days, we'll see high temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 60s. both around the bay and inland, and even on the coast. we'll have low to mid 60s, so that truly is some december warmth. not anything close to what you would think december weather would be like. >> i mean, look, after what we went through last week, y gosh, all that rain i think we deserve it. >> i'll take the drying out. >> definitely well done with this forecast. thank you. i'll take responsibility for it. >> you should. >> all right. let's get to chris now with another preview of sports. hi, chris. >> hey, dion. coming up in sports, a legend returns to the farm. can andrew bring some luck to a program that's been down for a while? plus, let it snow. buffalo. the 40 niners head east, hoping to revive their fading playoff chances against

ready for this week and i'm ready to go now. so. >> and on wednesday, we lead that 40 niners all-pro linebacker fred warner has been playing with a broken bone in his ankle since late september. needed painkilling injection injections to manage the injury. >> probably already made a mistake by even saying it. saying all of this. but yeah, i mean, back when i heard it, there was a bone fracture there. yeah. i mean, it's something i deal with every game i get on that table before the game and get it shot up every single game just to, just to be able to roll. so i mean, but it's not it's not an excuse. you know what i'm saying. it's just what it is. that's the nfl. like you're not you're not going to be healthy. you got to go out there. you got to find ways to execute, to play at a high level and to win every single week. >> all right. college football rivalry week providing plenty of drama with big time college football playoff implications including number two ohio state hosting michigan, who entered as 23.5 point underdogs. ohio state looking to snap a three game losing streak, though, to big blue. fourth quarter tied at ten. third down, big play khalil
