good morning. it is sunday, november 13th, 7:00 on the dot as we take this gorgeous look outside. wow, it is clear and the sun is shining down on the golden gate bridge on this sunday morning. thank you for starting it with us. i'm kira klapper. meteorologist vianey arana joins with us a quick look at our microclimate forecast. i have no words, it's so beautifulnippy and the conditios as far as the temperatures go are going to be similar. today we're not worried about

any rain chances at all. that system has moved out. a live look in downtown san jose. i want to showcase that cloud cover we're seeing this morning because we're going to get some beautiful clearing into the afternoon, but, because we're not seeing as cloudy conditions, we're still seeing the 30s once again up through parts of the north bay. we have some low 40s in through scotts valley and those chilly mornings are expected to get even colder into the couple days ahead. rain five degrees cooler in hayward. a look at your headlines. your 49ers forecast and the workweek is ahead. kira? a live look at the capitol this morning where we now know who will control the senate. nbc news projects democrat mast democrats once again have 50 seats. the only outstanding seat is in

georgia which is headed to a run-off next month. even if that seat goes to republican herschel walker, democrats would have control because vice president harris would, again, act as the tiebreaker in the event of a 50/50 vote. meanwhile, many house races are still outstanding though it's looking like republicans will have flipped the house. president biden reacted to the projection that democrats will keep control of the senate by saying he's not surprised but is incredibly pleased. he made the comments from his hotel in cambodia yesterday before his final day at the asean summit. >> i think it's a reflection of the quality of our candidates and they're all running on the same program. they are all sticking with it. i feel good and am looking forward to the next couple of

years. >> we continue to track several tight races as election workers are still busy counting ballots. the race for mayor thin, incumbent lisa gillmor is leading anthony becker by 451 votes. becker is heavily financed by the 49ers. the team wants to unseat mayor gillmor. for san jose mayor matt mahan continues to edge out cindy chavez. only 67% of ballots have been counted. and in san francisco brooke jenkins still leads over john hamasaki for city district attorney. jenkins did declare herself the winner earlier this week, but workers still need to count more than 80,000 ballots. you can continue to stay up to the minute on election results by downloading our nbc bay area app. it is free and available for a both apple and android devices. a brazen jewelry heist in

the east bay. we first brought you that as breaking news at 6:00 last night. witnesses tell us two carloads of thieves took over a store and made off with an undisclosed amount of jewelry. "today in the bay's" thom jensen has the latest on the investigation from san pablo. >> reporter: this is nothing new at this store. it's been robbed before and other businesses have been robbed before in this shopping center store owners tell us they're concerned and would like to see a greater police presence. we tried to talk to the owner, one of his friends who declined to speak to us on camera said the owner told him the thieves broke in through a back door avoiding security cameras and they were in and out within two minutes. a neighboring business owner said the shopping center has been plagued with crime the past few years. >> i am very concerned because we've been hit twice. >> reporter: that business owner would only talk if we didn't show his face or use his real name.

he says he's afraid of being targeted by thieves. police say multiple masked suspect armed with guns forced their way in and got away with a large amount of jewelry. it's not a surprise to the business owner that the alleged thieves got in and out so fast. the neighboring business owner says security is light. there's just one guard. >> he's on a golf cart and he doesn't make a full circle fast enough to see what's going on. >> reporter: a richmond man who shops here frequently noticed shop owners were on the edge with the increase in crime watching everyone closely and putting anything of value behind glass. >> it's way up. every store you go into everything is locked up. it's not fair to the rest of us. >> reporter: they would like to see police patrol more often. thom jensen, "today in the bay." new this morning police in the south bay were busy catching drivers and spectators involved in two massive sideshows.

the first happened just before 11:30 at the intersection of 7th street and virginia street in san jose. then it moved. it looks like traffic but officers were able to box in drivers on several streets. you can see the copious amount of drivers boxed in. sjpd did give citations out to dozens of drivers. tens of thousands of university of california workers across the state plan to strike tomorrow. the walkout of nearly 48,000 includes researchers and teaching assistants at all ten uc campuses including uc berkeley and ucsf. "today in the bay's" marianne favro has more on the walkout and how it could impact students. >> reporter: union leaders describe the planned walkout as the largest academic worker strike ever in the u.s. researchers, post doctoral scholars, teaching assistants

and graders plan to walk off the job at 8:00 monday morning including 3,000 workers at ucsf. a grad students researcher at ucsf says the main sticking point is compensation. >> for me personally that means that i make roughly 40k a year pretax and that leaves me pretty rent burdened. >> reporter: help with transportation and child care costs. more than 9,000 uaw workers at uc berkeley and more than 2,700 at uc santa cruz may also walk off the job monday possibly impacting students gearing up for finals. >> that does mean papers aren't going to get graded or the professors teaching course also have to do that. >> reporter: a statement said uc believes its proposals have been fair, reasonable, and responsive to the union's priorities and looks forward to continuing negotiations with the uaw and

settling these contracts as quickly as possible. the uc says all campuses will be prepared to make sure that instruction and research is not interrupted during the strike. marianne favro, "today in the bay." inflation is taking its toll on nonprofit organizations that serve people in need for the holiday season. here in the bay area the food bank is seeing a rise in need simultaneously as donations are dropping. the food bank fed 178,000 a month, that is now up to 278,000 a month. >> it is cash, those monetary donations. what people don't know is the individual donations take up around 70% of the donation that is come into the food banks. >> the food bank is asking anyone who can to help out. volunteers are always welcome, so, too, donations of canned and

dried goods. mark your calendar. we are teaming up with safeway to make sure no one goes hungry this holiday season. you can make a $10 donation at any safeway store when you're at the check-out and it will go to local food banks. our nourishing neighbors food drive kicks off next saturday, november 19 and runs through christmas day. and tonight the 49ers host the l.a. chargers at levi's stadium. you can watch "sunday night football" right here on nbc bay area. our coverage begins at 3:00 p.m. this afternoon. raj mathai and janelle wang will join us live from levi's for a special pregame newscast. kickoff is at 5:20. at 7:09, much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, live to washington, d.c., for our weekly interview with chuck todd who has a preview of this week's "meet the ess."pr

welcome back. it is time now for our weekly discussion with chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press." hi, chuck. thank you for joining us this morning as always. >> how are you doing? >> good, thanks. we are still wait to go see who controls the house, although it seems to be leaning towards republicans. but we found out late last night the democrats will keep their majority in the senate. this might be a stretch of a question but how does this big win for democrats impact president biden's decision whether to seek re-election, or does it? >> i think it reinforces his belief that, a, he can seek a second term and that he has the political capital to do it. i think what these midterms do and the surprising strength of democrats, anybody that was thinking about primarying biden or trying to push him out because of age, it gets a little

harder today. the fact of the matter is, you know, whether you want to look at him and say, well, he has a 44% approval rating, that's not good. okay. but his messaging on maga republicans and on democracy may have worked. and, you know, who else are you going to -- if not him, who? i do think that whatever the little whispers that were taking place before the midterms -- they were there, i'd hear them. you would talk to a couple of governors in the midwest seeing if there was room, a certain governor looking and flirting at the same thing, i don't think any of it looks viable today. this is joe biden's nomination unless he decides not to seek it. >> very interesting and i caught what you were throwing out there. sticking with the presidency, another question about the presidency, what about this anticipated announcement from former president trump that he'll run again in 2024?

and, if so, will the gop be behind him because so many of his endorsed candidates did not win in the midterm. >> i wonder if this is an open question. i'm not ready to say it's an open question because we went through this before after "access hollywood" and january 6, the grassroots abandoned him. that's what i'm watching him. it's not whether the electeds will get behind him but this puts a lot of -- creates an extra problem for kevin mccarthy in trying to get the votes he needs. i just think it complicates all of these leadership fights here in washington. trump's presence out there. there will be a litmus test. are you with him or against him? some people only want to vote for leaders with him, some only want to vote for ones who move on. it will divide the party and create more problems than not, but i think what i'm watching

for is, is he going to be able to sell out his arenas, get 5,000 and 10,000 people to show up or is he the aging rock star who has to go to smaller venues to make it look like he has a crowd? that's something i'm going to be watching for over the next six to eight weeks. >> all right. i'm sure we'll be talking about this again. chuck, as always, thanks for your insight this morning. chuck will have interviews with senator elizabeth warren and senator bill cassidy and will also have an interview with senior adviser to the president anita dunn. be sure to stick right here and then tune in to "meet the press" at 8:00 a.m. right after this newscast. if you watch every sunday you know coming up in about 30 minutes we'll talk to political analyst larry gerston. we'll take a look at some of the big surprises as votes are still being counted in some crucial races. we're going to turn now to new

information we're learning on the death toll after two planes were in a midair collision in dallas. the medical examiner now says six people died in the crash and we want to warn you some of this video may be disturbing. the crash happened yesterday afternoon at the wings over dallas air show. you can see a boeing b-17 flying fortress and a king cobra colliding during the wings over dallas air show. miraculously no one on the ground was hurt. and a terrifying encounter on a frontier airlines flight that unfolded friday night. the plane made an emergency landing after a man with a box cutter allegedly threatened to stab passengers on flight 1716 going from cincinnati to tampa. one woman who was in the seat next to the suspect. >> the guy in the window seat

turned to me, hey, he has a box knife and he's been telling me that he's going to go stab people. >> she says she alerted the crew when the man got up to use the restroom. the plane made an emergency landing in atlanta. no one was hurt. everyone is wondering how he got the weapon onboard in the first place. box cutters haven't been allowed onboard since they were used as weapons by hijackers on 9/11. a bay area zip code deemed the most expensive in america. atherton, where the median price of a home is $9 million. that's up half a percent from last year. number two goes to sagaponack, new york, on long island, and beverly hills rounds out the top three most expensive places to live. the list put together by online reality site reality hop. it turns out california has 59, the most of any state.

i don't know if that's something to be proud of. someone in northern california might want to move to atherton after winning $41 million in the california superlotto plus jackpot. the numbers are right now on your screen, 2, 5, 17, 40, 46 and the mega 1. the winning ticket was sold at a chevron in sacramento. the celebration of u.s. veterans is continuing in the east bay. yesterday was day two of the open house in danville. the event is happening in honor of veterans day this week. kids can sit in a fighter jet cockpit. if you want to go to the museum in person, you still can. it's open again today and admission is free. if you're looking for something else to do this weekend, our mike inouye has some thoughts in this weekend calendar. >> reporter: good morning, kira. we will start in san francisco in the mission where we say,

holy mole. there's a disagreement about the origin of this sweet and savory sauce. judges will have to agree on a common winner for the mole contest for latino arts this evening. three categories, professional chefs, local restaurants and community members. everyone will be a winner. at an event sure to add to the foot traffic near the 49ers game at levi's the santa clara convention center is home today to sneaker con day two where sneaker heads can sneak out the most elusive kicks mixing and mingling with online influencers and over 400 vendors buying, selling and trading with conventions across the united states you have to believe there's at least a chance they'll have your perfect pair. to horseshoes or other metal work, blacksmithing, bronze casting, glass blowing just a few of the classes offered.

while dedicated to make the fine and industrial arts once a year like today this nonprofit holds their yard sale. don't discount your traffic report. i have that on weekdays here on "today in the bay." >> and we love watching you all week, mike. thanks. it is time to check in with meteorologist vianey arana for a look at her microclimate forecast. it's already off to a beautiful start this morning. >> it is. we're going to get a lot of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors because we don't have to worry about the rain. >> right. >> depending on what you consider cold -- i'm a california girl, so anything below 60 is a little chilly to me. daytime highs in the low 60s. a beautiful shot of the span. look at this stunning. this is giving you a look at what the skies are looking like. we have some areas with cloud cover so let's take a look at our current temperatures now.

out the door we have some 30s on the map. 39 in concord. dublin, 37. in through sonoma, 42. now there are no frost advisories in place right now but it wouldn't surprise me if we saw some issued early tomorrow morning into tuesday. here is the reason why. satellite radar, i talked about that chance of rain would be nonexistent. the system has made its way out east and pushing the cloud cover further south. if i zoom this in closer we will inch into a much calmer weather pattern. behind that system we see the beauty of what it did. a couple hundredths of an inch to the bay area and the sierra. this is a live look right now, 16 degrees. it is cold. if you had plans to drive up to the sierra you should be okay as far as any snow chance falling not today or tomorrow but still check the roads out there. a beach hazard statement in place tonight through tomorrow. because of that front we could see some dangerous sneaker waves

and strong rip currents. hourly forecast by 12:00 upper 50s and then we're only going to max out in the 60s today. so a little nippy. overnight lows in the 50s and 40s but it's also going to get windy. we'll see an increase in the offshore winds. napa, 20 plus. san jose, 15 plus. and then it starts to diminish as the system makes its exit. we get rdy for "sunday night football" here on nbc. it is an evening game. i'm going to the game and you will see me bundled up. by the end of the game, there it is, it's going to be in the 40s by the time we get out of the game. if you're like me and you get a little cold, prepare because if you have to get to work in the morning on monday morning, another round of 30s again early morning. concord, 39. up through the north bay, also in the 30s, kira. i even said to pierre i'm going to have to get some gloves. i don't care if people look at me crazy. once my hands get cold, it is game over for me. that will be something i definitely keep in mind.

a clear bag. i have to get a clear bag for the game. your seven-day outlook does get dry. a warmer pattern and more seasonable. >> i could have brought you a clear bag. i have a 49ers clear bag. >> you do? >> i do. next time. all right, thanks, vianey. it is 7:23 right now. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, the 49ers honoring our veterans ahead of today's big game. the special tribute at levi's stadium. ■■

welcome back. a special group of veterans got the opportunity to hang out with the san francisco 49ers yesterday. if you ask the 49ers the honor was all theirs. the team hosted 16 vets, their families and their service dogs as a salute to service. this is video the team took of the event. the vets are all part of operation freedom paws which matches veterans and people who have disabilities with shelter

dogs. look at that face. the veterans train the dogs and sometimes end up adopting them. players say it was a rewarding experience to spend some time with the group. >> to be able to hang out with these vets and their families, their wives, their kids, and their service dogs was fun. they're all huge fans. you can see it in their hearts, in their faces, their big smiles, how much fun it is for them and warms your heart. >> going through the training and all that stuff, getting to learn and know the dog, the dog knowing you, you kind of mesh together, becomes a bond. and the bond him and i have is like no other. >> beautiful. the 16 families also invited to the salute to service game today. 49ers nick bosa and kittle are adding their name to the chorus of voices calling for safer fields within the nfl.

bosa calling out the organization on twitter pushing for natural surfaces instead of artificial turf. he suffered a torn acl while playing on it back in 2020. kittle also taking to twitter saying that field conditions impact everyone from players to fans to coaches and general managers. the pair using the #safer fields, a social media movement. both signed an online petition pushing for the change back in february. kittle has said levi's has the nicest grass complimenting niners ceo jed york. the falcons play on turf and the niners lost several players to injuries during that game. again, you can watch the niners take on the chargers today on "sunday night football" all happening here on nbc bay area. our coverage begins at 3:00 with raj mathai and janelle wang joining us live from levi's for
