make a change. flying happened to be the ticket for him. something about being in the clouds, scott says, cleared his mind. >> therapy on a plane i call it. setting my life free from the airplane seat >> it's not only his passion, it's now his ticket to share his story. scott travels the country networking with politicians and using his flame to deliver his message. he turned his life around before it was too late. so can others. garvin thomas, "today in the bay." >> it is 5:43. the floats they are going to fly. we learned that despite winds the floats t big balloons, they will officially lift off the ground. it's great news. the forecasters worried the strong storm pummelling the east coast could bring sustained winds up to 20 miles per hour.

look at that, spiedy, up in the air. no 40-mile-per-hour gust will hold him down. rules say if the sustained winds exceed 23 miles per hour and gusts 34, they have to ground all of the big balloons. for more on the storm and the wind, a really good day there. >> really great news to hear. it's like a baseball game when you find throughout's not going to be a rain delay or it will get canceled. it will happen. you know what, a couple things to watch for. you're going to be watching thousands of people lining the streets of new york city, just bundled up because there will be a severe windchill factor you'll be able to see their breath, freezing cold conditions. 32 degrees. with that wind throughout it's going to feel like the mid 20s so one of those days where if you're going to watch the parade from the comfort of your indoor heater it should be nice. they are going to see cold

temperatures. the balloons will fly. that's the fantastic news. let me give you more good news. waking up with us here in the bay area what a treat. a forecast to be thankful for. cloudy in belmont. this is for most of the bay area. off shore flow, an area of low pressure circulating. for us that means we'll see the best chance for santa cruz, mostly dry for the seven-day forecast. check at the bottom of the screen. we're going to lose these warm temperatures. right now back to you, lora. >> thank you very much. it's 5:45. hundreds of thousands now lining the route to take part in that big holiday tradition. the good news is the balloons are going to fly. here on the west coast as well starts at 9:00 a.m. our favorite including jay gray out there live giving us a

broke up before using ladders. it's unsafe to use lights designed for indoor use that are outside. play it safe. a lot of us use lights that have been in storage since last fris mass. before you put them up check the plugs and wires. don't route cords under rugs or furniture. it increases the risk of fire. you want to keep it safe. and do your best to remember to turn off the lights inside or out before you leave or go to bed. or maybe yet yours a timer. it's a rare owe veer lap between thanksgiving and hanukkah. it will not happen for 80,000 years. last night san francisco celebrated the first night of hanukkah by lighting the menorah at union square and 20-foot structure is next to the holiday

rink. happy hanukkah, happy thanksgiving as well. a lot to celebrate. can you believe we're in the holiday season. >> i can't, hard to believe we're going to be in december this weekend. i'm thankful to be here with you this morning. it's a great way to wake up on a thursday morning. comfortable, not too cold. the north bay we are following. overall it's clear, we're not looking toward any fog. if you will be catching a flight so delays. if you are one of those people you are looking pretty good though i can say travel around the bay area was easy yesterday even though it was considered one of the busiest travel days of the year. if you are heading out and good, over the driver and through the woods, 68 in morgan hill today. we'll see 64 in the mid market area of san francisco. and looking pretty good

throughout the next couple days, a slight chance for a stray shower throughout this afternoon. we're going to rule that out after about 2 p.m. back to you. >> thank you. after divesting the turkey maybe football? is the raiders getting a foost on offense. annual tradition in the south bay later this morning. one high school's win streak on the line.

welcome back. happy thanksgiving. you know there is a thanksgiving tradition about to play out in the south bay. 11:00 this morning the big bone game will kick off at san jose

college. this is from last year's game which lincoln high school won. in fact, it's beaten san jose high in the holiday rivalry now for the past 15 years. the big bone game is a battle for a trophy made from a steer bone that was salvaged from a butcher shop in 1945. i don't know if it had been shellacked or what. a short week for the raiders, they are getting ready for a showdown with the cowboys. the raiders get a key piece of their offense back, darren mcfadden will play after missing three games with that hamstring injury. it's a quick turn around from sunday's game. today's game kicks off at 1:30 for your viewing pleasure. the raiders/cowboys game one of three. early in the morning packers head to detroit for game one, that is at 9:30, then tonight it's a defending super bowl champs the ravens in a showdown

with the pittsburgh steelers. kickoff for that is at 5:30. you can see that here on nbc bay area. >> the bay area air quality management district urging people not to burn wood later today. probably won't need to but earlier this week the district issued winter spare the air alerts banning wood burning in the area. today is not a spare the air day so burning is not illegal, just not recommended. cold temperatures, low winds causing a backup of wood smoke in the area. especially we've got all of the runners for the bay area turkey trot. you're heading out there. >> yeah. i'm goes to host a 5-k but i'm not going to run in it. i'm not one of those runners. a good looking day shaping up. i'm one of those eaters and you likely are as well. big turkey dinner and temperatures are comfortable. maybe you're barbecuing that

turkey or deep fry it. should be good for that. 11:00 a.m. we'll climb into the 40s and 50 into the 60s. and then we'll hit our highs at about 2:00 p.m. 68 in the south bay, the peninsula 68. we're talking about the low 70s in the east bay and the north bay for thanksgiving day and san francisco not too shabby. 64 degrees. a forecast to be thankful for. we'll talk about that coming up. back to you. >> we love the temperature here as you mentioned but maybe the traffic as well. the traffic here can be bad in the bay area but look at this. it's almost hard to believe it's treel but that's a video of the 405 freeway in los angeles last night, one of the busiest travel days of the year. headlight, brake lights. believe it or not there was no specific cause like a crash. this is standard holiday traffic
