good morning. it is sunday, november 22nd. gorgeous look outside. 7:00 on the dot as the sun rises over palo alto. what a beautiful way to start our sunday with beautiful sunshine. thanks for starting your sunday with us. i'm kira klapper. vianey arana joins us with a look at your microclimate forecast. another really cold morning out there. a morning with a little bit of frost. our director had frost. did you have any today? i'm wondering because the temperatures are certainly in the 30s. that's enough to create that

lar of frost on the windshield. 38 degrees, 39 in santa cruz. look at concord and livermore. 33 degrees in livermore and down to about 32 degrees. that's near freezing in novato and the napa area. a frosty start. here is what we're monitoring for the next week. an increase in some cloud cover later tonight with an onshore flow making its arrival and then as of now to give you a sneak peek we will remain dry for the month of november. high pressure rolling in and the potential for some winds to build. i'll go over that and your thanksgiving forecast coming up in a few minutes. kira? >> we'll see you again soon. thanks so much. the bay area returned to a stay-at-home order curfew that runs for the next month. for now it impacts the majority of the bay area but not the entire region. it includes 41 counties across

california which fall under the state's most restrictive purple tier where covid rates are climbing at an alarming rate and threaten to overwhelm our local health care system that is alm of the bay area except for marin, san francisco and san mateo. changes could come at any time. we went to one south bay city to see how the first night played out. downtown los gatos was busy with many people dining outside on a chilly evening. like clock work at 10:00 p.m. businesses closed up. people we spoke with had a range of opinions about this curfew. >> it's a step in the right directions with covid cases increasing. it's a small sacrifice to make. >> i think it encourages people to be out less, if anything.

>> it's weird for me to think coronavirus spreads faster after 10:00 versus before it so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. >> that, of course, is not the case. it's intended to stop social gathering and social mixings that are contributing to the sudden surge in cases. our state reported more than 13,000 cases of covid-19 on friday alone. we are still awaiting yesterday's numbers. during this curfew over the next month here are some things you cannot do -- gather with people from outside of your household unless you're an essential worker. here is what you can do, you can work your essential job. you can go to the grocery job. you can walk your dog. you can get drive-through or takeout food and are urged to return back home. san francisco is still in the red tier so the curfew isn't in effect there right now. that could soon change. health officials expect the city

to move into the purple tier possibly as early as today. we will keep tabs on that for sure. the experimental covid therapy used to treat president trump has received emergency authorization. the fda has green listed therapy by regeneron. the drug maker says trial data shows the drug reduced the amount of virus and associated damage in the lungs of nonhuman primates. it also was shown to reduce mild to moderate covid-19. the fda says it will continue to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. now to this, it was supposed to be one of berkeley's most affordable apartment complexes but last night went up in flames. it was still under construction. fire crews from across the east bay remained onscene checking for hot spots t. could be seen for miles. "today in the bay's" sergio quintana has more.

>> reporter: ladder trucks set up in the streets around the six-story affordable housing apartment complex dousing it with water and hot spots flared. this is a fire and a response by area fire departments that people could see and hear for blocks. >> we could see the smoke from a couple blocks away and decided to check it out. >> reporter: first reports of the fire came in just before 5:40. in social media videos you can see it engulfed. ey attacked with several trucks and water cannons. it took hours to douse it. >> you can still see the flames on the top of the building where they can't really get the water at. >> reporter: groundbreaking was in july. it was a few months into construction. it's supposed to be part of an affordable housing tower and homeless services center called berkeley way. >> the good thing is no one lives there. that's the good news.

>> reporter: there is no word on what started the fire and no injuries reported. sergio quintana, bay area nbc news. the fire was so big you could see the smoke for miles. this photo from twitter you can see a big cloud of smoke above the rooftops. turning now to the latest to come from the trump administration to throw out millions of votes. it was dismissed in pennsylvania this weekend. a federal judge tossed out the lawsuit to stop the certification of pennsylvania's election results with a scathing 37-page opinion calling the legal argument strange, without merit and speculative. yesterday's ruling is the latest in a string of rejections by judges to the president's mission to overturn election results. a petition filed for another election recount. this after the hand count was

completed a couple days ago reaffirming president-elect joe biden did, in fact, win the state by more than 12,000 votes. but president trump's legal team argue that is another recount is needed to ensure every legal vote is counted. they want a recount with signature matching, but critics say signature matching already was a part of the recount and another one simply will reaffirm that biden did indeed win a third time. georgia would have to foot the bill for another recount, by the way. president trump briefly took part in a virtual g-20 summit before golfing at trump national golf club in virginia. meanwhile president-elect joe biden is moving full steam ahead despite his transition team being stonewalled by the trump administration. sources with the biden campaign say we could see some picks for the upcoming cabinet by the coming week. biden's lawyers are also weighing whether to take legal

action on being blocked from the transition. they say they are confident they would win in court but it would take too long to be helpful. a racist encounter between two east bay neighbors. people gathered in discovery bay to demand change after video of the racist confrontation emerged. >> you're a black person in a white neighborhood and you're acting like one. why don't you act like a white person in a white neighborhood. >> supporters marched with signs and chanted love not hate. they stopped near the entry point to the gated community where that encounter took place. there family members described how this has impacted them and called for unity. >> i felt like a change needs to be made and i believe this march shows just that and not everyone feels negatively.

>> this all unfolded when a neighbor came to the african-american family's door to complain about their dog. we have made repeated attempts to reach the woman shown in the video. she has not responded. it is 7:09. we do have move more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up we take you live to our weekly conversation with chuck todd who has a preview of this week's "meet the press. millions of people are still taking to the skies and the roads this thanksgiving. what they're doing to stay safe and avoid catching covid-19. go, on the clock, and on your way. hang on a second. what's the rush? know the speed limit, go the speed limit, and slow the fast down. go safely, california.

take a quick break,ite, jump on a quick call. next time you take a quick trip, how about this? take a second, take your time, and slow the fast down. go safely, california. welcome back. it's time to bring in chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press." as always, thanks for joining us this morning. great to see you. >> hi, kira. >> as you know, as we all know most congressional republicans have been silent about president trump's efforts to overturn the presidential election results.

within the last couple of days pennsylvania's pat toomey and wyoming's cheney have expected the results and noted that joe biden will be president elect. but there is a special run-off that will happen in georgia. what, if any, impact will inaction have on those potential senators in georgia? >> it's funny you bring that up because i do think that's actually caused -- it's hurting the republican party right now this delay in acknowledging who the next president will be. it's hurting the republican party and what is their best message to voters in georgia to basically -- anytime you can ask any set of voters, do you prefer one party to be in charge of x or see a check on the president with the opposite party, and with a handful of swing voters the idea of a check is a powerful tool.

it's hard to send the message if you're claiming the president won his re-election and then these georgia runoffs are meaningless. if he won, then republicans already have control of the senate under that scenario. i do think in an odd way it is hurting the republicans' ability to prosecute the campaign that would put them in the best position to win the runoffs. this is one of those cases where you're like, once again, the president's odd strategic decisions, and i'll put that in quotes because not everybody thinks they're strategic, will end up harming the party short term, not helping. >> it will be interesting to see how that plays out and kind of sticking with that theory he did win re-election, president-elect biden remains without access to executive branch agencies because of trump administration resistance. at what point does the stalemate harm the biden's team ability to

set up shop? i've also heard that it will impact the rollout of covid vaccinations, or do you think they can work around this between now and january 20th? >> look, do i think between now and december 1st, all of this can be worked around? i do. next week thanksgiving week is not the most productive workweek for anybody in general. it is coming to an end, it doesn't happen next week. but after that i would argue, yes, it starts to do damage. the 2000 election robert mueller, the day he took office as head of the fbi was the day before 9/11. everything got backlogged in 2000. imagine if he was in office two months earlier which could have been the case had the transition started in a normal process. the point is you don't know what you don't know.

we know there's vaccine distribution to hand off. we know there are certain things about iran right now that we have to be nervous about like we did after 2000 and the 9/11 attacks. >> i do take exception to your comment that no work happens on thanksgiving. we in news always work. >> i haven't had a thanksgiving week off myself. >> i know. >> friends and family who don't seem to have anything to do. >> exactly, exactly. happy thanksgiving to you. we look forward to seeing you next week. be sure to join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." exclusive interviews with the white house office director richmond and senator kevin cramer that is an exclusive plus an extra from chuck's interview with dr. anthony fauci. we hope you stick right here and tune in at 8:00 a.m. right after this newscast.

and coming up in about 30 minutes from now our post election coverage continues. we will talk to our political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. okay, we're going to shift gears a little bit now. back to thanksgiving. long lines at chicago and atlanta airports already as travelers seem to be disregarding cdc guidance to stay home for the holidays. this as testing lines get longer and people look to get tested before visiting relatives. nbc's blayne alexander reports. >> reporter: with thanksgiving just around the corner in city after city scenes like these. airports packed with passengers despite the dire warning from the cdc urging all americans to stay at home. >> nothing is stopping me. nothing. >> reporter: on friday the tsa processed a million passengers, only the second time hitting that threshold since march and a 15% rise over the week before. in boston -- >> i am nervous, but i want to be with my babies.

>> reporter: chicago -- >> i feel safe to fly. i think we should all fly for thanksgiving. >> reporter: and around the country from long lines at airports to long lines at testing sites, people rushing to get last-minute screening. >> we're doing it for the travel. >> it doesn't matter how long i wait, i want to get a sense of release. >> reporter: experts say get tested as close to departure as possible, isolate before and after you travel and test again once you arrive, but they caution testing is not foolproof. fanning out around the country thousands of college students, many schools offering exit testing. most campuses remaining closed until spring semester. >> my last test is on wednesday this week. now it's saturday. >> reporter: julia and her friends are sophomores at duke university, making the nearly eight-hour drive from north carolina home to new york. why did you choose to drive instead of fly? >> definitely feel more comfortable in the car with people i've been with all

semester regardless rather than on a plane and in an airport with a bunch of strangers. >> reporter: now with cases on the rise experts fear the numbers will spike after the holidays. a brutal combination of pandemic fatigue. >> that is what's scaring us and the one thing we're battling that we didn't battle back in march, blayne, the environment. cold, dry air. we're just tired of it. we want that vaccine. we want to see our loved ones. >> that was nbc's blayne alexander. for us it's time to check in with vianey arana for a look at our microclimate forecast as we head into thanksgiving week. it's so cold this morning. it's frosty in some parts of the bay area. i want to show you where there's a little bit of snow left and that's in lake tahoe. the previous storm the past couple of weeks managed to bring in a couple of inches which

anytime we've seen snow or rain we welcome it because we need it but we're not expecting to see any rain here locally at least not the next several days. let's take a look at the great shot of san francisco using our weather underground cameras, clear skies to start. great beautiful view over san jose and let's take a look at the current temperatures because it is cold. this is the reason why it's frosty. and we're going to see another morning like that tomorrow. look at napa and novato. that's near freezing right now so, you know, as we head into tonight and tomorrow we can see, again, the return of those cold mornings. and i want to show you doppler radar right now. yesterday we had a beautiful, sunny day, but notice the cloud cover and the storm system passing to our north, we could see an increase in high clouds heading into tonight. so that's something to keep in mind you'll probably notice later ton.

and up microclimate forecast for today is actually three degrees cooler as the high clouds roll in compared to yesterday. santa rosa at 65. still cool and comfortable in the 60s. it's going to turn cloudy later tonight and then as i mentioned we're going to expect to see showers but pretty far north. nothing for us to worry about here. what are we monitoring for the next seven days in the long-range outlook? we've been talking about how we need the rain but it doesn't look how we're getting any. the storm stays to the north. by the middle of the week we get a low-pressure system just east of the sierra and that could bring the chance of seeing some activity in the sierra but it looks like we're going to remain pretty dry here for the bay. more wind for us but less rain chances. as the systems pass by, it could bring the concern for some gusty winds heading into thursday and friday which, as you know, thursday is thanksgiving.

inland temperatures will remain in the 60s in through the week. 64 degrees on monday and as we head into thursday for thanksgiving we're going to remain dry for inland areas. notice the overnight lows, they stay in the 30s in san francisco, inspect to see those chilly temperatures again overnight and it will remain breezy for tomorrow into thursday. temperatures will be in the 60s. by next week and towards the end of the week we regain the high pressure and we will warm up just a little bit. very cool and comfortable. kira? >> looks nice. thanks so much. at 7:2 is much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up you have to see it to believe it. a missing wedding ring turns up two months after it went down the drain. the incredible rescue will make you bay area proud.

"today in the bay's" garvin thomas shared the story. >> reporter: this is ultimately a story about timing and the triumph of good timing over bad. >> i frowned -- >> reporter: the bad, she says, happened in september in the bathroom of her livermore home when she dropped her wedding ring in the toilet the very moment it was flushing. >> it fell out of my hand. i figured it was in the sewer pipes, it was long, long gone. >> reporter: she called the plumber but it was too late. she was resigned to never seen her ring again until recently when she met a friend for lunch. >> i'm telling her the story

what happened and she said, well, have you called one of the water reclamation plants? i never thought of doing that. >> reporter: so more than two months after watching her ring disappear, jenna gave them a ring, and this is when jenna's timing couldn't have been better. >> 300-plus miles of the sewer system. >> reporter: mike welch says a crew just happened to have been down the street from jenna's home the day before and the debris they cleared just happened to be sitting at the plant. >> it just happened to be sitting right here. >> reporter: john browning led the crew that had done the work and was happy to look through the debris, but the chances of finding anything -- >> really slim. really, really slim. >> reporter: yet after raking the pile, then using a metal detector there the ring was. >> he called me and he said, i found it. and i about died. >> it happened to me almost like a miracle that she called the

day after to clean the pipes there. this does not happen. >> reporter: the folks at the water treatment plant say they've lost things before but never like this. never after so long. for jenna, it's a wish come true. >> here it is. >> reporter: and perhaps for so many of us living through a year that feels like it's gone into the toilet, something good finally came out of it. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> i squealed with joy for her. that is thrilling. 7:26. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up a new program launching at some california state prisons including one in the bay area giving loved ones a new way to visit inmates. and two san francisco musicians celebrating a milestone continuing to entertain in a unique way despite the pandemic.

good morning. it is sunday, november 22nd. just shy of 7:29. wow! i don't think i've ever seen this view from our cameras before over alameda off in the distance, san francisco, everything shining in the beautiful sunshine on this sunday morning. i just wanted to sit there for a second longer. thank you for joining us. i'm kira appekl vianey arana joins us with a quick look at the microclimate forecast. it's sunny but it's cold. it was a great shot and showed the crispiness. we'll be seeing those chilly temps for the start of our sunday. here is a look at where our clear temperatures stand. novato has dropped down to 27

degrees. look at livermore. san jose, 38. a froy windchill throughout and here is a closer look at doppler radar and satellite. to our north you can see the cloud cover. we're going to expect to see an increase in clouds this afternoon and here is what we're monitoring our headlines for. it will remain dry for the month of november, the rest of what's left. the full forecast in a few minutes. kira? >> we'll see you in about 15. thanks so much. you might know last night at 10:00 p.m. the bay area returned to a limited stay-at-home order similar to our march curfew that runs from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. each night for the next month. for now it does impact the majority of the bay area, not the entire region. marin, san francisco, and san mateo counties are exempt. the other are in the state's most restrictive purple tear

meaning covid rates are climbing at an alarming rate. state leaders are implementing this stay-at-home order as a surge in cases threatens to overwhelm our local health care system. health experts do warn changes including the addition of new counties could come at any time. we decided to go to one south bay city to see how the first night of curfew played out. downtown los gatos was busy, many people dining outside on a chilly evening but, like clock work, 10:00 p.m. businesses closed up. people we spoke with had a range of opinions about this new stay-at-home order. >> i think it's the right thing to do, a step in the right direction. with the number of covid cases increasing it's a small sacrifice to make. >> i think it encourages people to be out less, if anything. >> kind of weird for me to think that coronavirus spreads faster after 10:00 versus before it.

it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. >> it's not the time of covid spreading it's that after 10:00 p.m. experts don't want people to socially gather, socially mix. those events health officials say are contributing to california's sudden surge in cases. our state, by the way, reported more than 13,000 cases of covid on friday alone. during this curfew over the next month you are not supposed to gather with people outside of your household. you are not supposed to work or travel outside of your home unless you are an essential worker. here is what you can still do after 10:00 p.m., even during the curfew, you can work an essential job. you can go to the grocery store. you can walk your dog, get takeout or drive-through food. health experts want you to then return home. as mentioned san francisco is still in the red tier so the new curfew isn't in effect in the city right now but that could soon change.

health officials say they even expect the city could move into the purple tier as early as today. the experimental covid-19 therapy used to treat president trump has received emergency authorization. the fda green lighted it by regener regeneron. the drug reduced the amount of virus and associated damage on the lungs of nonhuman primates. it also was shown to reduce medical help with those with mild to moderate covid-19 symptoms. the fda says it will continue to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this regeneron treatment. santa clara county is now increasing covid-19 tests to keep up with demand. we want to show twhau testing looked like at the county fairgrounds yesterday. this is a mass testing site. it's expanding next week to accommodate 3,000 appointments a day. by mid-december it plans to test 5,000 people a day. that is twice the current

capacity. there are a few places you can get a free test without an appointment. tomorrow emanuel baptist church in san jose. also the south county annex. both locations will be open from 11:00 to 5:30. and on wednesday, the day before thanksgiving, you can be tested at antioch baptist from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and bay area community health from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. there are other testing sites available on the county's website. now to a new way for families to visit loved ones who are incarcerated. five state prisons, including san quentin, will roll out video visitation programs. that's because in-person visits, of course, are suspended because of the pandemic. inmates will get a free 30-minute video visit every 30 days. the video visits will take place on weekends and holidays and visitors must make a reservation ahead of time.

the state department of corrections says it hopes to expand the program to all state prisons by the end of the year. the latest attempt by the trump administration to throw out millions of views was dismissed in pennsylvania. the judge tossed out the lawsuit to stop certification of pennsylvania's election results with a scathing 37-page opinion. the judge called the legal arguments, quote, strange, without merit and speculative. yesterday's ruling is the latest in a long string of restrictions by judges to the president's mission of overturning election results. and in georgia the trump campaign has filed a petition for another election recount. the state did complete a hand recount this week reaffirming that president-elect joe biden won georgia by more than 12,000 votes. but president trump's legal team argues another recount is needed to ensure every, quote, legal

vote is counted. they want a recount with signature matching. critics say signature matching already was part of the recount and another one simply will reaffirm that biden won. this recount would make it the third time. georgia, by the way, would have to foot the bill for another recount. and with inauguration day less than two months away president-elect joe biden is in wilmington, delaware. sources say we could see some picks for his cabinet as soon as next week. this as president trump continues to falsely insist he won the election and refuses to allow the official transition to take place. biden's lawyers are weighing whether to take legal action to force the trump administration to cooperate. in new york demonstrators say the head of the general services administration must recognize the president elect. >> we're here because emily w.

murp murphy, it will cause death because of the delay in the covid response by the biden administration. >> the president made a virtual appearance at the g-20 summit in saudi arabia, but he reportedly skipped the conference on pandemic preparedness and response and instead went golfing, which was that video you saw there. his supporters protested in several swing states including wisconsin. okay, we're going to turn now back to our covid-19 coverage. it was back in mid-march when much of the bay area originally shut down to stop the spread of coronavirus. it impacted so many trying to make a living including musicians. as "today in the bay's" joe rosato jr. shows us one musical couple kept on entertaining and is now marking a milestone. >> reporter: you'll recall this past march a tidal wave of vast emptiness descended on cities like san francisco. no one in the streets,

restaurants shut down, nightclubs fallen silent. it left musicians like meredith axelrod suddenly cut off from their audience and a means to make a living. >> our gigs are canceled and we're not going to make any money this year. hello, everybody. >> reporter: so when san francisco shut down over the pandemic on march 16th axelrod took the show on the road. the digital highway. broadcasting live over facebook from the north beach kitchen. >> i just tried pressing the live on facebook and went live. ♪ >> it was surprisingly favorable. we said, oh, my gosh, we're going to do this every day. >> reporter: and so night after night sharply at 8:00 p.m. they appear on the small screen flanked by the stove and a microwave. >> people comment about the green pot, they comment on the

stove. >> reporter: their take on old-time music has struck a chord over new technology reaching an audience no longer bound by geography. >> there's a guy from siberia who listens regularly. there are people in japan who listen regularly. >> reporter: the comments say music has brought comfort to those stuck in their kitchens. >> it does begin to feel like people are in the room with us. special delivery. >> reporter: this sunday marks the couple's 250th run of the show. >> we're doing okay. we're not getting rich, but we're getting by. >> reporter: they're getting by on tips on the wings of songs vowing to keep playing nightly as long as people will listen. who said music is medicine for the soul.

joe rosato jr., nbc bay area news. beand still to come larry gerston joins us in just a few minutes as president trump continues to refuse to concede the election. we go inside the numbers and break down the stark difference between president trump and president-elect biden's supporters. first, a few big miss takes by cal against oregon state. the plays coach wilcox says probably cost his team the victory. anthony flores is next with sports.

good morning. the cal bears were battling two opponents yesterday. oregon state and covid-19. the golden bears had to play the game without several players including three starters after a player on the team tested positive for the virus. leading by three it would change on a special team breakdown. the punt is blocked.

that would lead to a one-yard touchdown plunge by oregon state and the beavers retake the lead. cal on the verge of a comeback, first and goal at the 10, just over a minute to go. the pass tipped at the line of scrimmage and picked off. oregon state hangs on to beat cal 31-27. >> it's a very frustrating loss. it's frustrating for everyone. there were parts of the game where we did some things pretty well. unfortunately, the critical errors in every phase were too much to overcome. >> next up the bears will host stanford for the 123rd playing of the big game. the raiders will be trying to pull off something they haven't done in eight years, sweep kansas city. they shocked the lead when they handed the chiefs their only loss of the season in week five. can they do it again? >> they're the world champions and you have to do whatever it takes to try to win the game.

that particular day it seemed to be a shoot-out. there's no guarantee we'll make a first down this time. we'll see how it goes, try to put our players in the best position to win. >> that game can be seen here on nbc bay area at 5:20 p.m. the san jose earthquakes will hit the pitch against sporting kansas city in the opening round. now it's the quakes' first postseason in three years and they would like nothing more than to knock off the top seed. >> they have good players, a really good system. i think they are number one and will be a challenge for us. we're looking forward to the game. >> the match kicks off at 1:00 p.m. this afternoon in kansas city. that's a look at your morning sports. i'm anthony flores. have a great sunday.

the stalemate between president trump and president-elect joe biden continues with the president and his administration unwilling to release funds and access to government agencies. the votes clearly show president trump lost re-election yet he refuses to concede. it's time now to bring in nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston. hi, larry. good morning to you. great to see you. how does president trump think this will change the outcome, or how is he trying to change the outcome? >> kira, he's done just about everything. we talked about the courts. he's gone 35 times, his lawyers have gone before state and federal courts. 33 times he's been turned away. the only two times minor procedural issues like how close observers could be. the courts have slammed the door shut. he's gone to state legislatures to get them to overturn the will of the voters. he talked to folks of michigan

and he will talk to people from pennsylvania, both states voted democratic. it's a huge mystery but it keeps going. this despite, kira, the fact the national organization of secretaries of states which, of course, certify and the election assistance agency, all of these major agencies that deal with voter security has said this has been a near perfect election yet the president goes on. >> the president argues otherwise and he does have a strong following that supports his theory. >> yeah, and i think this is something that has people a little worried. monmouth university went out and did a poll of trump voters and they asked him whether they thought the election was fair or not. 77% -- 77% -- think that the

election is rigged, it's not fair. now, remember, for months -- for months ahead of time trump would say, hey, if i don't win, the only reason i don't win would be because it's rigged. so 77% of these people believe. that's a problem. that's a serious problem because it helps to undermine our democracy. it gets people wondering maybe every election will be like this. our democracy doesn't work and,fact, democracy does work. if you don't believe it, that's a problem. >> indeed. what do you think the significance is of this beyond the election outcome of 77% of people not believing the reality of the election? >> what we have is a huge chasm between those who voted for trump and those who voted for biden, a chasm by gender, by race, a chasm by issues such as

whether the economy or the virus is more important. republicans say the economy. democrats say the virus. go all the way down the line on virtually everything and the chasm is huge. it's huge. and the problem is finding some way to bring these two elements together. you have to go ahead and undo what's taken 20 years to unfold and this will be hard work by our leaders in washington, hard work by our educators, hard work by people who just need to start listening to one another. this is not going to turn around overnight this is a long-term assignment for every american if we really believe that we want to maintain our democracy. a lot of hard work ahead. >> honestly that was disheartening to look at that full screen we put up that showed the dark disparity between biden voter and a trump voter.

economy for trump. for biden coronavirus. racism, climate change. we are so divided. what do you think can be done? >> we have to find ways to look to each other and accept each other. someone will walk away saying that's so corny. it's the truth. we have to find ways to accept each other. we don't have to agree but accept each other, not to think the other side is phony or in some way insincere or undermining. and unless we find a way to bring these two groups together, we're going to be hurting. there's been a real number done on the american public here and the only way this number gets undone is if the leaders at the top take it seriously and help

shelter the public in a way we can find ways once again to work together. and if it doesn't happen, watch out. i don't think any of us want to see that. thank you, larry. happy thanksgiving to you.

it is so cold outside. it's going to be a mostly sunny day, however we do have more cloud cover expected for the afternoon compared to yesterday. as we start out with sunshine we're also very cold in the 30s. before i get to the current temperatures, let me show you a little tour of the live cams. walnut creek, there you can see just how clear the skies are. a great shot of san francisco right now. our temperatures dipping down into the 30s. novato below freezing. napa 34. concord, 38. san jose, 38 degrees. livermore, 33. i even thought about turning on my heater just a couple minutes ago. oh, man, it's going to be another cold start. let's look at the temperature difference. san francisco about five degrees colder this morning compared to yesterday, san jose about five degrees colder. look at oakland, seven degrees colder compared to yesterday. let's look at doppler radar and satellite. it gives us an idea of what

we're expecting tonight and heading into the next couple of days. you could see just off to the north, notice with the cloud cover and that green on satellite radar means rain. we have rain that's going to stay to the north of us. a couple of broken high clouds starts to swoop in heading later into this evening. that will bring some high cloud cover and an onshore flow. overall by the afternoon we're talking about a solid mix of clouds and sun. it will start to turn cloudy later tonight. we're not worried about the rain here. temperatures will be running a few degrees cooler compared to yesterday. look at the daytime highs, 62 degrees in oakland. 64 in palo alto. mid-60s for the south bay and the interior valleys. around the coastline 50s and low 60s in san francisco. now what's going to happen over the next seven days. long-range outlook shows the storms will stay to the north through the start of the workweek. notice we stay dry and by the middle of the week we have this low-pressure system east of the sierra that could bring activity but we're going to stay for the most part pretty dry. what we will be seeing out of

this, though, more wind but less rain chances. we could have a bit of a wind event heading into the later portion of this week. let's look at the next seven days. inland temperatures will remain in the mid-60s. certainly very seasonal for this time of year. we have thanksgiving on thursday and great weather there. dry conditions expected for thursday. it might get breezy heading into the afternoon. if you have a plan to do an outdoor gettogether i would say early afternoon might be best because it might get chilly by the later portion of the day. 40s for san francisco. look at the 30s. we stick to the 30s inland. so, as always, make sure to look out for each other and protect those pipes, pets, plants and, of course, people. kira? >> all right, vianey, thanks so much. thanks to all of you for making us a part of your morning. no 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. news tonight. it's "sunday night football" night in america.
